Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

The law is the law

Congress passed the immigration laws being enforced today years ago. If you’re here illegally, expect to be deported. It’s hard, but it’s also fair. Shooting ICE isn’t the answer.

Left vs. right

Not one recent shooting has been right-wing. The Democratic Party is now at full on war against conservatives.

A shame

It’s too bad Gray Media doesn’t have the resolve that Nexstar and Sinclair have.

Kimmel is despicable

Late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel’s non-apology for his crude and heartless comments on the murder of Charlie Kirk fell completely flat because it wasn’t genuine or authentic. First, his original comment that the murderer was MAGA was inaccurate but predictable given Kimmel’s left leaning ideology. His comments were scripted, not off the cuff, so they were planned by choice and reveal both his true thoughts and desire to get a laugh at Kirk’s family and reputational expense. So, when he returns to say I didn’t mean to trifle with Kirk’s murder, he’s lying. Further, in his monologue, Kimmel manages to say sorry and not sorry at the same time by implying those who are insulted at his comments may have misinterpreted his words, meaning and intentions. Nah, it was very plain to see, which is why there was such backlash by half the country.

Making sense

With the events happening now the movie “The Matrix” makes more sense to me. Talking about living in a computer-generated world while the Mr. Smiths hunt down those who are woke.

Time to let go

I wish Ron Roland good health; but it is time for him to step down and let us hold a special election for Ward 2 councilman. I know the council wants his vote, but it’s not fair. We have no representation now, and we need someone who can do the job.

Why are they protected?

Seeing the article in the Sun Herald about the teacher being charged with a felony for sleeping with a 17-year-old student makes me wonder, why are the Epstein clients being protected?
