Storm coverage

Thank you for making your coverage of Thursday’s storms and flooding free for everyone to read.

Common sense

It never ceases to amaze me how many people have enough money to buy a car but not enough sense to know better than to drive through floodwaters that are up to the top of their tires.

If you build it ...

I don’t know about you, but I’m beginning to think it’s time to start working on an ark.

A celebration

Hope all the haters are sitting down. The New York Knicks will be visiting the Trump White House.

Blunder

Call it what it is: President Trump’s signing of the short Memorandum of Understanding is being called the worst foreign policy blunder in decades. Republicans and Democrats are criticizing. Even Trump has said he’s trying to prevent an economic disaster (that he started).

All that, for nothing

I’m sure glad we went to war with Iran to ... go from one nuclear deal to another nuclear deal.

Maybe wait it out?

Would it be asking too much for folks to hold off until the deal is actually done before you criticize the president for it?
