The fact that Russia or any other country can meddle in our elections should not be the concern. The divisiveness and gullibility of the American citizenry that makes this possible is the real concern.

So a 4-year-old boy gets shot to death in East Chicago and the shooter only gets three years. Seriously? No wonder our society has a gun violence problem.

Jared Kushner, a family member of the president, who has no foreign policy experience, no security clearance, and is currently under criminal investigation, delivers a speech at the Jerusalem embassy opening, praising Netanyahu, who is also under criminal investigation. This is truly bizarro world.

Why do we as Americans care that the U.S. embassy was moved to Jerusalem. Do we make a big deal when it moves in other countries?

Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal and gas spiked to $3.09, just as experts predicted. There went your savings from Trump’s “beautiful” tax cut. The Trump giveth and the Trump taketh away.

The Gary School Board has had all of it’s power taken away by the state. The most biting part was the per-meeting pay that board members enjoyed. I’m not sure why the state has allowed them to continue to receive the $2,000 yearly stipend to play along.

When did it become the responsibility for the president of the United States to promote the upcoming attractions of his sycophants at Fox News?

Have adults lost their reasoning abilities? If your are a teacher, a coach, a pastor, or any adult that interacts with kids or teenagers, you DO NOT talk, or send inappropriate or sexual comments to them. How can this be so hard to understand?

Have you noticed that the people that scream the loudest about being disrespected are always the people that disrespect others?

Being mean is easy, being mean is lazy, being mean is self-satisfying. Being kind takes some effort, being patient takes some work, being respectful takes some forethought. Intelligent people use their minds before they act.
