Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Obama deportations

How did President Obama deport close to 4 million illegals during his two terms and no one knew about it? No masked agents dragging citizens out of their cars, etc. He didn’t turn it into a show. He just did it treating illegals like human beings. No concentration camps and no military in the streets to stoke fear. It’s amazing what can be accomplished when no one is trying to take credit.

Trump’s letter

I’ve seen some things in my day, but the letter President Trump sent to Norway’s leader just about takes the cake. Either our president has completely lost his mind, or he’s an even worse individual than I thought.

In a bind

I very much enjoyed watching the doctor squirm as she tried to reconcile what she learned in both third-grade science class and med school and the abject terror of being canceled by her loony left colleagues. For the millionth time, if you have the lady parts that allow you to carry a child to term, you are not a man.

For those of you confused

Since there seem to be so many folks on the left who are confused, allow me to try and clear things up for you. If you are born with little fella parts, you are a boy and will grow into a man. If you are born with little lady parts, you are a girl, and will grow into a woman. And no amount of surgery or medicine will change that.

Didn’t earn it

President Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize for absolutely no reason. That, ladies and gentlemen, is when it became a trinket. Another crooked politician that did nothing but divide us.

Plenty of ice there

So if we invade Greenland, we become the illegal aliens committing crimes, right?

ICE

Let ICE do its job? Its job was supposed to be apprehending illegal immigrant criminals, not snatching people out of courtrooms, schools and workplaces, shooting mothers, gassing and intimidating law-abiding Americans.
