Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

NYC

A Muslim socialist being sworn in by a multi-millionaire socialist with his hand on the Quran as the new mayor of New York. Bad times ahead.

Muslim mayor

1/3 of New York City’s Jewish population voted for Zohran Mamdani and the Quran. Good luck with that.

Democrats

From California to New York City, the principle mission of the Democrats is to confiscate wealth and property from people they hate and redistribute it to their political constituents. Fundamentally un-American.

Trump’s orders

Most of President Trump’s executive decision have been either blocked by judges or stalled in court. Even the Supreme Court drew the line on orders that blatantly violated our constitution.

Cover-up

President Trump told you to elect him so he can release the Epstein files. Since his election, he has spent a full year covering them up.

President for sale

It’s not true that President Trump only pardons rich white guys. He also pardons rich foreigners who put hundreds of millions in his pocket through his crypto company.

Fireworks or bombs?

Crack! Pow! Boom! For six straight hours on New Year’s Eve, it sounded like Gulfport was under attack. Imagine the people in war-torn countries who tremble as they endure such sounds non-stop, every day, every night. I am grateful to God and to every current and former member of our U.S. armed forces who sacrifice to keep our country secure from such horror.
