Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

TDS

Isn’t is remarkable that left-wing Democrats deflect blame to President Trump for a wrath of trans mass shooters randomly taking the life of innocent people? Yet, when the president takes action to reduce crime, they criticize him and warn him away from their crime-laden cities. Rather schizophrenic, don’t you think?

How many?

It sure seems like an inordinate amount of mass-killers have been trans. At what point will something be done about it?

Gaza

In the war against Hamas, the Israeli Defense Forces claim that it was necessary to bomb a hospital because of a single surveillance camera. Elite IDF operatives could not have just slipped in there with a pocket knife and cut the cable?

Editorials

So a writer says it’s a shame the Sun Herald posts biased editorials. Editorials are inherently biased. Just another example of a liberal who only wants to read articles, editorials, etc. with which they agree. Don’t print something I disagree with.

Cracker Barrel

Traveling throughout the U.S., it was always a pleasure to find and dine at Cracker Barrel restaurants. The recent logo change and other small changes by the Cracker Barrel CEO are a great example of DEI syndrome.

What about ...

President Trump wants to get rid of mail-in ballots. How are expatriates and military overseas going to vote?

Pay attention

Everyone should take one minute to read the definition of “shock doctrine.” You are witnessing it every day if you are wise enough to recognize and understand what is really happening in America.
