When Elon Musk was making all these Tesla little electric cars, the left loved him, the Democrats loved him, the liberals loved him. Now when he says he would like to bring free speech back to mainstream media, they hate him. What does that tell you about the media organizations in this country and the Democrat’s secret agenda?

Joan, in Oak Forest, there is outrage over the likes of all the people you mentioned. They are all liberal Democrats so you won’t hear anything about it by watching or listening to the liberal media. The biased liberal media wants to make the news not report it.

This disease seems to be restricted to Washington. Now it has spread to their NFL’s Commanders. They’ve been accused of cooking the books and other workplace misconduct and Congress has launched an investigation. I feel the Commanders will use the standard DC reply, which is also the name of the disease, Denyallitis.

To Tom from Homewood who sarcastically remarked about lynching. Back in the 1950s and ’60s, lynching was a problem for Blacks. Emmett Till was lynched, allegedly for whistling at a white woman. Even though it has been a problem for 100 years, it just now became an official federal law.

This column has devolved into a bunch of old white people wishing that things were like the good old days when people of color knew their place. It’s always my side is right and the other side are idiots, and get off my lawn!

Note a difference. When Presidents Obama and Biden speak to reporters or a crowd, they not only display manners and class, but they talk about America and America related issues, then when done as normal people do they turn to walk away. When Trump and Republicans speak to a crowd it is personal with no class, and not for all America. They brag and toot their own horns, criticize others, panhandle and solicit for money and fund contributions for their personal wealth and profit. When they turn their backs it is on everyone who does not agree with them.
