Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Two views

What an incredible scene at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service. His grieving wife spoke to the nation and forgave her husband’s killer, saying “I forgive him because it was what Christ did, and it’s what Charlie would do.” President Trump then turned the service into an assault on his many “enemies,” saying, “I hate my opponents and I don’t want the best for them.” Yep, that’s our president.

Kirk reaction

Charlie Kirk’s killing was followed by a Christian revival. Unlike George Floyd’s murder which resulted in riots, more murders and anarchy. Pay attention to reactions, it really matters.

A beautiful ceremony

The ceremony for Charlie Kirk was a wonderful example of Christian life. Except for one notable exception.

Strength

I hope I never have to face the awfulness that Erika Kirk has had to face. If I were to, though, I hope I could show even a fraction of the strength she has shown.

Autism solved

I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank our president and his incredible medical experts for solving autism. It’s a great day in America, indeed. Who knew the cure to such a complicatd issue could be so simple?

Tylenol, huh?

How amazing that autism, which was first diagnosed in 1911, is caused by Tylenol, which was first invented in 1955.

Doctor-in-chief

Yesterday, I could not say acetaminophen. Today, I am banning it.

So we’re clear

Yes, there are documented cases of autism in the Amish. Yes, there are documented cases of autism in Cuba. We are truly living in the stupidest of times.

Fair game?

What an odd choice of words by a commenter. Nancy Pelosi is “fair game,” which justifies her husband being attacked with a hammer because she ripped up some papers opposing President Trump’s policies?

Federal jobs

It used to be hard to get a job with the government because of background checks, etc. The Senate changed the rules and confirmed over 50 positions with one vote.

Snowflake

President Trump “said” from his own mouth that he wants to suspend the license of any network that criticizes him! You still believe democracy is not under attack?

What is needed

President Trump continues to show the strength and fortitude that is sorely lacking, and sorely needed, in this country.
