Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

What a country

How great is it to see day after day of foreign visitors finding out how amazing our country is? It’s a true shame we have so many Democrats attacking what has made our country great.

MAGA

From the looks and sounds of the people visiting our country for the World Cup, it seems America is already pretty great as it is.

New gift?

The president had a new jet that was “gifted” from Qatar but retrofitted with taxpayer dollars. I wonder if Trump gets to keep it.

Al Capone

Al Capone was the most important chess piece in the game of money laundering. I am here to tell you that his ghost is alive and well and has possessed Dixie. Someone call an exorcist.

Never their fault

The uncured paint on the reflecting pool floor separates from the pool because of the strong algae chemicals and floats up. The corrupt DOJ wants to prosecute anyone who, out of curiosity, touched the floating paint. The scapegoating and insanity never stops. They just keep blaming everyone except those responsible.

Reflecting pool

What happened to the reflecting pool debacle? Because when shallow water bakes under the sun, a massive algae bloom isn’t “nature”, it’s a deep-state plot. And that peeling “American Flag Blue” paint? Definitely vandals. It couldn’t possibly be because the crew was dumping hydrogen peroxide into the water to kill the algae. Who knew a chemical bleach would strip paint? A total mystery. But hey, that $1.7 million, no-bid filtration system bought from a campaign donor is working flawlessly. If you ignore the floating blue rubber and neon green slime, it looks great. We’ll just wait for the Mar-a-Lago pool boys to finish up and fix it. Until then, basic chemistry is officially Biden’s fault.

Just reflecting

As fsr as I can see, only one person has vandalized the reflecting pool, and he hasn’t been arrested by the Park Service.
