Sound Off for Jan. 18

Bankrupt

Do Trump supporters realize what's going on in Atlantic City? Trump cut employees health insurance and pension benefits at Trump's Taj Mahal. He's claiming bankruptcy yet again. If he drives his business into the ground, how can he run our country?

Not the devil

Oh yes, the devil is alive and well, but he doesn't present himself by way of an oil leak, transmission fluid or an overactive imagination on a driveway in Gulfport, Mississippi.

Blame game

In reply to "Not about the presidents," would you be saying this if the oil prices were up? Republicans pull out the blame game every chance they get with President Obama. I'm waiting for them to start impeachment charges on the low price of gas.

Direction

The lady using God's help in directing the tornadoes must have learned her technique from some Mississippi legislators concerning the lottery.

Peace over war

On behalf of my children and grandchildren, I thank God our nation is blessed with a negotiating president. We all know if we had Republican leadership we would have been at war long ago!

In a nutshell

To see someone childishly voting for a candidate because they are disliked by members of Congress sums up what is wrong with this country: Too many voters who are uninformed and can't be bothered to actually follow the issues.

Antenna

Type in HD Stacker antenna in the search field at Amazon.com. They have a good selection.

We remember

In answer to "We were young, too," yes, we are around 70 years old and we remember. But back in our day there was not loud booming fireworks like today and we did not have the health problems that come with getting older.
