Best catfish

Shame on you for the omission of the Almanett Bistro from the list of best fried catfish on the Coast.

My TDS

No one in this country is struggling, no one is relying on a food bank, no one has nixed their summer vacation, no one is relinquishing their pets to the pound, no one has lost their health care and no one has the least bit of trouble buying a home. “Affordability” is nothing but a hoax, perpetrated by Democrats to make Donald Trump look bad. Please excuse my sarcasm, I’ve been driven insane by TDS.

Telling

Democrat Rep. Ami Bera says that he is OK with socialism if it hurts President Trump. Think about that.

He admitted it

Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly admits the Biden administration failed the American people at the Southern border. Kelly: “The Biden administration did a bad job at the border.”

Same old thing

No one should be shocked about Donald Trump’s no-bid, campaign donor awarded contracts, always done with the excuse of “no time” for the process to play out. This is his standard, and totally corrupt, way of operating that goes back to his first term.

Makes sense

The Trump administration is trying to unfreeze 6 billion dollars of Qatar’s assets. I guess we know the strings that were attached to their gift of a jet.

Speaking out?

Get serious. The “leftist news” is not doing anything resembling speaking out against the 250th birthday of this country. I, and they, are grumbling about and fed up with an out of control president with grandiose schemes that are thought up only to glorify and enrich himself and that cost taxpayers a boatload of money, while 90% of regular folks struggle to make ends meet and the national debt is off the charts.
