Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Contempt

Apparently Bill and Hillary Clinton believe they are above the law in their refusal to answer to a Congressional subpoena.

So confused

For all the people who pointed out how out of it President Biden appeared during the late stages of his presidency (correctly, I might add), I ask you this: Are we getting Iceland in this deal or Greenland? I’m a little confused after President Trump’s speech.

Art of the Deal

NATO & Denmark: We will give you the exact same security arrangements you have had for the past 40 years in Greenland. President Trump: Total surrender! Art of the deal!

So close

After seeing how close the Indiana-Miami national title game was, I can’t help but think how close Ole Miss was to a national championship. And whether all the drama surrounding Lane Kiffin’s exit caused just enough havoc to be the difference between Ole Miss winning it all and narrowly losing to Miami.

Good job

Kudos to anyone and everyone responsible for holding the ringleaders of the Minnesota church protest responsible for their actions.

Not appropriate

Whether you approve or disapprove of what ICE is doing in Minneapolis, people should be able to go to church in peace. What happened was not just a disturbance. It was an assault on the sacred freedom to worship without fear.

Freedom

The First Amendment protects free speech, not chaos. Churches are private property, and worship isn’t a protest zone. What happened at Cities Church wasn’t exercising rights; it was trespassing and harassment.
