Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Voter fraud

Here’s what I don’t get. If China interfered in the 2020 election to elect Biden, why didn’t they interfere in 2024 when Trump won? It seems like whatever was wrong was fixed in 2024 to get Trump elected. So what’s he all worried about, and why is it only elections he loses that have been rigged?

He’s the problem

Am I wrong or were the rigged elections all when Donald Trump was president?

Humility needed

It’s time for all the world’s leaders, in particular, Iran, Israel, and our very own Donald Trump, to read Carl Sagan’s essay on humility called “A Pale Blue Dot”. Cosmic science provides a humbling view of the pale blue dot we all live on. It’s a short read and shouldn’t take too much time from their war gaming.

Still waiting

I hope the parents of Nolan Wells don’t have to wait as long for their independent autopsy as the parents of Trey Reed have.

Iran

The war was over in the first hour, the war will end any day now, the war is not a war, Iran is begging to make a deal, we have achieved all our goals in Iran, we have unlimited munitions, etc. Lies, trotted out over and over and over again by the White House propaganda machine, which is the biggest purveyor of fake news in this country, by far.

Keep whining

Oh, no.. The plane flew too low. Let’s all get together and make a much bigger deal out of it than it should be. Great work shutting the nonsense down, Sec. Hegseth.

Do it again

Seeing the incredible move by the Blue Angel in Florida makes me want to go see them the next time they are in the area.
