Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Bondi opinion

For what reasons do you state that AG Pam Bondi lacks integrity and morals? That’s an opinion, I assume, or perhaps you can give specific examples. Disagreement with her rulings are one thing. Attacking her character is not necessary, unless you personally know her.

A house divided

How can a country remain strong when its leader so actively promotes division? President Trump never advocates for dialogue and has no respect for opposing opinions. He issues dictates and requires absolute loyalty. He has never admitted a mistake. Anyone who disagrees with him is an enemy. He is a clear example of a narcissistic derangement syndrome.

Insurance gouging

Just got my windstorm insurance estimate for 2026. $5,640! No, I do not live in a mansion, just a 2,500 square foot brick house. I should at least get credit for having a brick facade. What we need is a national disaster insurance.

What to believe?

From firing people who compile data, to messing around with release dates, to constant lies about the numbers, I trust nothing coming out of this administration from this point forward. More importantly, economic forecasters, markets and businesses are realizing they can’t either.

Trump supporters

Whenever President TACO says something offensive: One-third of the Republicans in Congress: “I didn’t see it.” Another third: “He was only joking.” The last third: “I agree with him.”

What’s next?

Now that the Epstein saga seems to be calming, what will the Democrats come up with next to keep the president and Republicans from doing the will of the people?

Can we keep it?

Sec. Hegseth’s lethal warfighters accidentally took over a part of a Mexican beach recently, causing a mini-international incident. Great to see we have such intelligent people in charge.
