Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.
He would know
The very person that fired the Independent Election Committee, tried to overthrow democracy on Jan 6th, brought in fake State Electors to Washington in yet another attempt to overthrow democracy, and exploits Congress through coercion wants to address America about election security.
I don’t get it
President Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while he was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.
Out. Now.
Every single Chinese Student visa needs to be cancelled immediately.
Require photo ID
Requiring photo ID in all 50 states, and proof of U.S. citizenship, is such a no-brainer that should have been implemented a very long time ago.
Protect our elections
With China’s breech of our election data, do we have a choice not to go back to in-person, paper ballots and adopt photo ID voting?
Election protection
Honestly, I’ve never understood why we didn’t need to show photo ID to vote to begin with.
Kill them
How do you sexually assault a child at school? You take advantage of their situation and groom them into the normal routine and sexually continue the horrific crime, some go as far as sharing these children. Without names mentioned because of the right to a trial of your peers, this should be a death penalty case.
Iran
5 straight days and nights lighting up the terrorist stronghold and no end in sight. The time is now to squeeze the life out of what’s left of Iran’s military. The IRGC has been calling the shots and lobbing bombs at other Gulf states. Time to end Iran as it exists today, the Iranian people deserve better. Let’s go all the way.
DOJ
The Department of Justice refuses to hand over redacted Epstein files to New Mexico’s attorney general. Why and who is being protected? They want our voter data, but we can’t see the Epstein files! There must be damaging information for some high officials!
My hope
I truly hope that if it turns out Nolan Wells’ death was just a tragic accident, the independent autopsy will still be released, unlike in the case of the Delta State student.
Hard to believe
I wish our coliseum officials would be a little more forthcoming about exactly why hosting the Nolan Wells’ funeral would cost more than $80,000.
Bad things happen
Not every terrible thing that happens is a conspiracy. Sometimes truly awful things happen for no good reason.
