Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

SPLC

The Southern Poverty Law Center was caught funding an array of “White supremacist” groups, proving once again that right-wing extremism has never been in such great demand and such short supply. This demonstrates what most Americans know, that the majority of our citizens (regardless of their political affiliation) do not focus on race, gender, ethnicity, religious beliefs, etc. Most Americans are decent people. The people that point fingers, foment hate and division, and try to tear down our history, culture, and country do so to gain and maintain power. They are the ones most often guilty of precisely that which they accuse others of. It is projection, pure and simple.

Profit

An article asked why gas prices go up quickly and fall slowly. Really? They make a lot of money in between. It’s like getting a bonus check between pay day.

Cuba next?

President Trump is looking for a way to overtake Cuba. Why? What does he want from them?

Thieves

Under the cover of war and all the chaos, the Trump Administration is stealing money.

Democrats

It seems like the Democrats have nothing better to do than block, block, block everything President Trump wants to do.

Redistricting

This is getting out of control. Every day it seems like there is another state redistricting to try and disenfranchise the party that is not in power.

No you didn’t

Winning in Iran, Venezuela and Cuba cannot possibly be what you voted for, because the campaign promise was “America First“ and “No more wars.“ Just the opposite of what we got.
