Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Team Trump

I wonder if the politicians are finally beginning to understand. Whether you like it or not, you’re either on Team Trump or you’re in trouble. Get with it.

So long, Sen. Cornyn

Another big win in Texas for MAGA. I keep reading how unpopular the president is in Sound Off and, yet, I keep seeing the politicians he supports win, and win big. Some of y’all are going to be very upset in November.

Another one

The elimination of the Washington, D.C., RINO continues. Pretty soon it won’t just be an endangered species, it will be eliminated completely.

Red November

Blue wave? Democrats keep calling for it, and yet we keep getting Red Novembers. And 2026 is going to be another one.

Makes you wonder

For 250 years federal employees have existed without signing an NDA. What are we hiding that requires such drastic measures. Protections are already in place. Besides, it won’t stop leaks which are done anonymously anyway.

Not a corporation

President Trump wants federal workers to sign an NDA? Our government is becoming something else, not a civil service job anymore.

National division

Has there ever been a president so divisive that he insults his own party members as much as his opposition?
