Inquiry inappropriate: The Republican House Justice Committee is overstepping their boundaries by investigating the New York district attorney’s case involving private citizen Donald Trump. There is no justification that warrants their inquiry unless it is to pressure the DA into abandoning the case. It is obviously political in nature and an abuse of power. No one should is above the law nor should politics divert the responsibility!
Not very Christian: How can Donald Trump’s evangelical base justify his behavior? He is famous, rich and married to a beautiful woman yet he has sex with another woman and he has to pay her off. He also said about women, “When you’re a celebrity, you can do anything.”
Let justice proceed: If you think you’ve seen the worst of Donald Trump, just wait until he unleashes his full fury when he truly believes he has nothing to lose. With a possible indictment imminent, he’s now threatening to call to arms his posse of halfwits and malcontents in sound bites all too reminiscent of Jan. 6. Enough already. The disgraced ex-president must be brought to justice and District Attorney Alvin Bragg must not be hijacked by all of the drama surrounding this historic moment.
This is warming? Every article I’ve read on the climate always states an hysterical warning about a 2.7-degree increase in the average global temperature, which most people couldn’t even feel. But none of those reports ever states what the current average global temp is. It’s currently 57 degrees! Most people would consider that “cool.”
Dangerous at any speed: I’d like to comment on the National Transportation Safety Board allowing these self-piloting vehicles to be on the road. They’re still causing accidents. They’re doing things on their own. People don’t pay attention today when they have a regular car. Does the NTSB think people are going to pay more attention when they have a self-piloting car? There should be a no way self-piloting cars are allowed on the highway.
