Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Why so much coverage?

We are praying every day for Savannah Guthrie‘s mother to be returned home safely, but, do you, like me, find it annoying that neither your mother nor mine would get publicity if she were missing?

We’re waiting

When is Billie Eilish going to turn over the keys to the mansion?

Danger

In a recent report, ICE, in cooperation with local authorities, made 650 arrests of illegal immigrants in West Virginia. They tried to couch it in terms of going after those posing public safety or national security risks. However, they only cite one violating a prior removal order and one accused of child molestation in their successes. That would lead one to believe that the rest were simply illegal aliens with no record or posing any sort of national security concern.

Masks

If ICE can continue not wearing badges and masking then before you know it the police are going to want to do that. Then robbers will start wearing dark clothes the color of the police and masks and citizens will be out of luck.

Enough weed

When will the Harrison County Development Commission and the Planning Commission start bringing true growth to our region? The two cannabis items on the Planning Agenda for Feb. 19 is not economic growth. When will there be enough cannabis in our community? Someone please tell Mr. Lavers and his commission supporters to bring some real opportunities to our area. Something other than gas stations selling beef jerky and dope dispensaries and cultivators.

TDS

The haters can call President Trump all the names they want. The scoreboard doesn’t care.

The timeline

Step 1: Seize GA ballots. Step 2: “Discover” massive voter fraud. Step 3: Use this as a reason the federalize elections. Step 4: Overturn the anticipated blue-wave midterms.
