Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Be kind

Instead of No Kings Day or rioting against ICE, why can’t we have a No Hate Day. Everyone, including politicians of all political persuasions, just for one day be kind and not spew hate. I think you will find it refreshing and at the end of the day you will feel good about yourself. If it makes you feel good, try it again another day. It could become a habit.

DOJ

The DOJ is targeting Democrats for mortgage fraud. Really? With all the illegal deals and pardons of criminals, it is obviously no longer functioning as an independent department. Its focus now is revenge and shutting down those that won’t obey President Trump.

The next hoax

Democrats, while trying to save shutdown face, have dived head first into the Epstein hoax. Just like the Russia collusion hoax, this too shall pass, resulting in the real pedophiles being exposed.

What’s your fix?

The big news is expensive healthcare. There is lots of complaining, and I understand. Exactly what do you suggest to solve this issue? It’s a very complex issue, but I don’t hear any solutions. Billions in subsidies were spent on insurance companies to make premiums cheaper for Obamacare. That’s not a reasonable solution. Tell us your solution.

Here’s how it’s free

If an illegal immigrant goes to the emergency room, is he or she denied care? No. If they can’t pay, just like a legal, their medical care is free.

Still waiting

President Trump and his team promised Epstein answers while campaigning. Sure haven’t been many of those since he made it into office, huh? Can’t imagine why that would be. And what was in all those binders that the conservative influencers were holding at the White House.

Justice?

Firing through a door at an unknown person sight unseen? I bet if a Guatemalan maid had done that and killed a white suburbanite, that Indiana DA wouldn’t have had any trouble bringing charges.
