Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Just say it

We have had as many as 17 bases in Greenland. We closed them. Greenland has been a reliable ally, and fought with us in 3 wars. President Trump doesn’t have to invade Greenland. Its like invading yourself. All he has to do is let Denmark know we want to rebuild our bases. Just say it. It is absurb to threaten and bully our NATO partners because they dont support his invasion.

WWIII

One of the rallying cries behind the America First movement was the idea that Kamala Harris would lead us into World War III. Gotta be honest, though, President Peace’s lust for Greenland sure looks like we could be on the bad-guy end of WWIII.

Do something

While Trump is threatening to attack a NATO ally, where is the Republican Congress?

Wake up, Congress

Honestly, whether you agree or disagree with our desire for Greenland, it sure would be nice if Congress would weigh in one way or another.

Denmark?

I mean, if we’re being honest, the only reason Denmark controls Greenland is because nobody else has wanted it. If we need it for our security, it’s time for Denmark to do the right thing and make a deal.

Human biology

Due to being the complex, God-created creatures that we are, sometimes human beings born as females are not able to have a child, i.e., they are barren. It seems a mistake was made in their creation. Again, considering the complexity that we humans represent, why could there not be mismatched signals in our brains that confuse our sexuality? My understanding of the teaching in the Bible is that it emphasizes love and understanding of all God’s creations, perfect or otherwise.

The line

I have no problem if a man wants to act like a woman. I have no problem is a man wants to dress like a woman. I have no problem if a man wants to marry another man. I draw the line at the point where I’m expected to act like a man is actually a woman. I also think that’s the place a large segment of society draws the line.

President or dictator

In a recent interview when questioned about invoking the Insurrection Act, President Trump said. “I feel it’s important to invoke the Insurrection Act, which I have the right to do, that’s a different thing, because then I have the right to do pretty much what I want to do.” In my entire lifetime I would have never thought I would hear a U.S. President say such things. Especially one that I voted for. What is the difference between this elected president and the ruthless dictators he condemns?

You think it’s fun now?

All of this ... whatever this is ... is happening while there is a Republican Congress. Just imagine what things are going to be like once the midterm election has been held. Assuming we have midterms, of course. The idea of President Trump and a Democratic Congress is honestly kind of hilarious.

Democrats

The Democrats have no message other than “we hate President Trump.” Spoiler alert: Trump is not on the 2028 ballot. They are just the party of hate and violence.

Peace Prize

“Considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace”. That quote, sent in a letter to the Norwegian prime minister, is an admission that Trump was only pursuing peace for personal recognition. Since he wasn’t selected, he feels entitled to consider a war with Denmark. These are his words. He doesn’t even understand that the Nobel committee determines the awards, not the Norwegian government. This is lunacy and evidence of how complete his narcissism is.

Wacky names

You’ve got to love this new product, “Liquid IV.“ As opposed to, what, Dry IV? Gas IV?
