Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Illegal votes

We all know the Democrats need the illegal votes in order to survive. They unapologetically put the illegals before the American people in everything they do. They are openly shielding the murderers and fraudsters. When they don’t get their way, they shut down the government. The heck with the American people. And even worse, they blame their shameful behavior on the Republicans for not giving them their way. And the bought and paid for media continues to cover for them all.

Enough with Iran

I’m puzzled. Our military says they’ve almost completely destroyed Iran’s ability to launch weapons, but they are still launching. Don’t we have the ability to track where the launch came from and send them some retaliatory strikes? Isn’t it about time to start dropping some MOABs? They have the same effect as a nuclear weapon, but without the radiation.

Iran

In all seriousness, is it asking too much for the leader of the free world to clearly articulate why we are attacking Iran and what we hope to gain from it? I consider myself someone who pays attention to the news and I truly don’t have any clue what our actual end goal is.

I remember

I’m old enough to remember when gas got to like $3 a gallon and all the little MAGAs were putting Biden stickers on the gas pumps. Oh, for the days when I could get a gallon for $3.

Has to be done

Will there be some short-term pain from attacking Iran? Of course. But it will be well worth it in the long run. Our leaders are doing the hard work that has been avoided for far too long.

Insurance rates

Hey Rep. Mike Ezell, my home, wind and flood insurance rates went up again this year. What are you doing about it? Oh, you are too busy planning your reelection to return my email as a citizen of Mississippi. Aren’t I paying your salary as a taxpayer? Do your job. Fight harder for lower insurance rates. It’s ridiculous. I won’t be voting for you.

No kings

Guys, how many of these rallies are y’all going to have? You made your little point. It’s getting a little silly now.

The reason

The reason millions of people are protesting at “No Kings” rallies is not because they think Donald Trump is King. It is because they know he is a wannabe King, made absolutely clear through his words and actions every day.

TDS

Only a party affiliated with Trump Derangement Syndrome would continue to hold No Kings marches and rallies, making it clear that we don’t have a king. Because he wouldn’t allow such a gathering.

Priorities

Sure, we’re at war in Iran and you might have to eat ramen to be able to fill up your gas tank, but did you see the new ballroom illustrations? Did you see the video about the new presidential library? Focus on what’s really important, folks.

Still nothing

Remember when Pam Bondi had all the Epstein information on her desk? I do. And I’m still waiting.

Who to believe

I”m really struggling here? Do I believe the religious zealots who have proven time and time again that they can’t be trusted, or do I believe the Iranians?
