Second suspect?
Clearly, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse lacked the maturity to possess an assault weapon, and sadly two people are dead because of it. I feel that the adult in his life who purchased the weapon should be prosecuted along with him. I would like to know who that person is, and see their picture published in your newspaper along with Kyle.
Chumps?
So now we know why Trump doesn’t want his taxes made public — He didn’t pay any. I guess he thinks good citizens who love their country, and pay their fair share of taxes to support our great country and democracy, are chumps. This man does not know what it means to be a to be honest. and does not deserve to be our president.
Election is rigged
Yes the election is rigged, by the dictator in the White House. Our country is in a lot of trouble since democracy has been squashed by Pumpkin Head.
Heavyweight fight
Will Joe Biden, who spends most of his time in his basement bunker, really go out, risk it and debate President Donald J. Trump? To embarrass himself? Biden is like an aging and slow amateur boxer entering the ring against champion Mohammed Ali during his prime years. It would be both great and very entertaining if Biden is able to make it and debates President Trump. Except for the members of his family, Biden has done nothing in almost half a century as a professional politician, compared to President Trump who accomplished so much more in less than three years.
Vote Republican
In the 1970s, my history professor, who had survived two wars in Europe, posed this question to the class: Do you think communism, socialism or fascism could ever replace capitalism in America? Of course not, was my thought. Freedom and capitalism is what made America successful and the envy of the world. But here we are 50 years later at the precipice of just that. Voters are going to the polls, and voting with their emotions instead of voting with logic for the economy, jobs, freedoms and security. All cops are not bad. The nuclear family is the fabric of America. My children received an education, and are working to be a success and have the freedoms many died to give us. Vote Republican.
Not really fair
I don’t know of any fair tax. Once a tax is on the books, it never goes away. Taxes will only increase, and never decrease. Taxes will also trickle down to capture more people. If you vote for the fair tax in November, you are fooling yourself.
We’re in a better place
Our homes are worth more than they were over the last few years, bank accounts higher and the economy is better. Democrats will not admit we are in a better place. What Trump has done in a few years should be commended.
Democracy is at stake
Is it too much to ask of our president that he doesn’t say the only way Biden wins is if the Democrats cheat? We need someone who governs in reality, not conspiracy theory. The problem is twofold — he doesn’t govern at all, and he has no concept of reality. Two really good reason to vote him out. Democracy is at stake, folks.
