Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

They said it

60 minutes claims that the assassination of Charlie Kirk was political. This the first left-leaning news outlet to admit it. The man and what he stood for matters to at least half of the United States.

Wrong message

Another shooting near a school, this time close to home in Gautier. Maybe Charlie Kirk’s killing should be about the need for gun safety. I said safety, not taking your precious guns.

Something different

Could we just make it as difficult to get a gun as it is to get a driver’s license?

Kimmel and Colbert

Television networks are “for a profit” businesses. Colbert and Kimmel’s ratings are tanking. Why would a company employ the likes of them when they become a liability? And as for Trevon, Floyd and Pelosi, just another liberal narrative from MSNBC or whomever.

TDS

I’ve noticed over the years that when a Trump-hater has nothing of value to offer, they defer to a comparison to Hitler or Nazi Germany. I really hope that makes them feel better, since President Trump is resting comfortably deep in their mind.

Military meeting

Sec. Hegseth summoning 800 of the military top generals and admirals from their operations across the globe, simply for a face to face, shows his total ignorance of command and control.

How dictators work

First they fire, imprison, or execute you if you criticize them. Next they fire, imprison, or execute you if you don’t support them enthusiastically enough.
