Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

More Cruisin’, please

Thanks to Cruisin’ The Coast, the city of Biloxi has never looked better. I think Cruisin’ should happen 4 or 5 times a year.

Doesn’t like the dunes

The dunes are ruining the view of the water, and soon we won’t be able to see it at all. I have seen this happen in Virginia.

Security business

We made an agreement to use our military to protect Saudi Arabia, and now Qatar. You voted for the government to operate like a business, so that’s what’s up.

Health care

I hear people say Democrats want free health care for illegal aliens. Not so. The law does not allow illegal aliens to get taxpayer-provided health care. Democrats are asking for the budget to include money for people who have the Affordable Care Act allocated to them. If this does not happen, their premiums and share of cost will become unaffordable, and we will have 20 million people again without insurance, which is costly to our hospitals. Allocating money in a budget does not change the law.

The shutdown

Perhaps the Democrats who have ground things to a half on Capitol Hill should consider the fact that the voting public put the Republicans in charge for a reason. We want them to be allowed to govern the way we chose them to.

Real corruption

Not only did Donald Trump refuse to follow the long-established tradition of divesting from his companies, he’s using the presidency to take bribes in Bitcoin and now strike a deal with a pharmaceutical company.

Better red

The more I see of what and who the Democrats support, the more I understand why Donald Trump was elected.
