Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Truth coming out

Now we find out that Jill Biden was concerned that President Biden had a stroke during his disastrous debate against President Trump. And, yet, she was so concerned that she started a “four more years” chant afterward?

Which was it?

Jill Biden to CBS on the 2024 debate: “I was frightened because I had never seen Joe like that... I thought he was having a stroke.” Jill Biden immediately after the debate in 2024: “Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question. You knew all the facts.”

Can’t be trusted

The Democrats hid the deterioration of Joe Biden until it became clear to the world how unwell he was. And they would have kept hiding it, if not for that debate performance.

What else?

After seeing Jill Biden’s stunning admission about Joe Biden’s health, I am left wondering what else the Democrats are hiding.

Retaliation

Now the DOJ is going after the woman who won her case of rape against President Trump. Meanwhile, no charges for the Epstein pedophiles.

Circus in town

First the White House East Wing starts looking like a Vegas brothel, and now there’s a fight arena on the South Lawn. At this point, the White House is basically a traveling circus with nuclear codes. “In this corner, weighing in at a totally believable 175 pounds, Donald ‘Boom Boom’ Trump. And in the other corner, barely responsive, ‘Sleepy Joe’ Biden. Tonight’s referee: Vladimir Putin.” Coming soon: monster trucks on the Rose Garden and Congress juggling gasoline and matches.

Celebrating America

So we’re putting on a fair in Washington D.C. to celebrate our 250th birthday, featuring all the biggest stars, such as Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli. Except now, even half these D-list “stars” are backing out. Is this really the best we can do?

Nice phone

How do you reconcile MAGA with the Trump phone, promised to be made in the U.S.A., but not, and with a false American flag? Either the Trump organization is completely incompetent by approving the design, or the Chinese manufacturer pulled a joke on them. I laugh either way.

Perfect example

The Trump phone is an absolutely perfect illustration of all things Trump. Big promises, long delays, and what you get is a cheap knockoff of what you were promised.

Texas primary

It speaks volumes that voters in Texas were willing to advance a corrupt candidate who is knee-deep in controversy and scandal over a sitting Senator who is admired and well respected by his colleagues. All this because John Cornyn had the audacity to not blindly accept everything that comes out of the mouth of a prolific liar, and Ken Paxton supports the stolen election lie.

National debt

The national debt has expanded to the point of being equal to one year’s GDP. That has only happened before during COVID and WWII. The war, vanity projects, and tax reductions have this country headed down the same road that ended in Trump’s casino bankruptcies. As far as fiscal policy goes, Trump is a RINO.

I did that

The red hats don’t seem to be so concerned about “the price of eggs” and other economic issues, huh?
