I think it is noteworthy that the only two of the three Republican senators to vote against the repeal of Obamacare were women. It doesn’t surprise me that women were the only ones compassionate enough to stop the repeal that would drop over 20 million people from health care. I am very proud of their bold actions.
The readers that noted Indiana people are crabby and ignorant are noticing the Illinois influence from the many Illinois people moving here. Pick some new friends, as I know many Hoosiers that are very friendly and extremely intelligent. They are usually native born and raised Hoosiers, but a few are from Texas, Wisconsin and Iowa.
I, too, have noticed people being hateful in the Region. I have witnessed a few people yelling at others while in parking lots for some perceived wrongdoing.

If this country wants to deport somebody, they need to start with Justin Bieber. He has no talent and has been nothing but trouble for this country since the day he crossed over the border.
Our coward of a president sits in the Oval Office surrounded by armed guards tweeting insults about the Attorney General instead of acting like a man and human being and talking to the AG in person. How classless can you get.
Now a commenter says if you don’t believe (fake news) stories about Russia in the newspapers then you can remain ignorant if you want. Al Gore’s dire predictions about rising sea levels and the dangers of climate change to date have all been fairy tales and flat-out lies, and reported in every newspaper in the country. Being a seasoned news junky, you have to be able to read between the lines, not believe everything you read like some fools do!
