Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Welcoming Cruisers

Over the years, I have seen many signs saying, ‘Welcome Cruisers.’ However, I have only seen one offering a discount. Think about a 10% discount for owners who have registered their cars.

Manhole covers

The person complaining about the manhole covers being below the road surface is absolutely correct. I have observed this problem all over the Coast in different cities. However, there is a solution: spacer rings of different thicknesses are manufactured just for this. Buy some. Properly install them. End of problem.

Term limits

Now would be a perfect time for D.C. to pass a term-limit law. I’ve emailed Rept. Ezell on the subject, and he replied that Democrats have told everyone it would be dead on arrival. Fred Thompson tried.

Honoring Kirk

President Trump awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk today. Charlie’s message was to think for yourself. For the haters, do you feel that way about all of us?

Alternative is worse

Yes, President Biden should not have run again. But as a zombie, he governed better than the egotistical revengeful old man we have now. At least Biden appointed competent leadership around him.

Getting it done

I’m no fan of President Trump, but I must admit that he has succeeded with the Israeli hostages in a way that his predecessors have not.

He’s dirty

President Trump is all razzle-dazzle. That’s purposely designed to divert attention from his ongoing destruction of our Constitution and the wealth he’s putting in his own pockets and those of his kinfolk and friends.
