Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Just too far

Brian Kilmeade: “Kimmel’s comments went way too far.” This from the guy who, just days ago on live TV, called for homeless people to be murdered. You can’t make this up.

Loss of science

Nazi Germany drove out many brilliant scientists. Germany suffered for decades from those losses. By contrast, we in the USA benefited enormously when those scientists came to our shores.

Nothing new

The Democrats spent much of Barack Obama’s presidency and Joe Biden’s presidency attacking FOX News and other conservative outlets. What is so new now, other than President Trump is being more successful at it?

Cancel away

With all the firings about remarks made about Charlie Kirk, I see cancel culture is OK now. We remember all the outrage about the left and the First Amendment.

Not an honest man

Truth and reality do not exist for President Trump. He thrives in a fairy-tale world of his own making that pulls in others like himself, to whom personal integrity is a stranger.

There’s always a receipt

If you’re interested in having a little fun online, check out all the folks that are so very mad about the internet’s reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death. Then search the following words for their posts: Trayvon, Floyd, Pelosi.

Trans trouble

Whether or not the shooter was liberal or conservative (it’s much more likely the former than the latter), It’s another shooting with a tie to a trans individual.
