HILLARY DIDN’T WIN
“Define Treason” is tired of criticism of Trump because “Benghazi!” and “emails!” For better or worse, Hillary Clinton is not president of the United States. If you are angry about possibly treasonous actions Clinton took while she held a position in government, it would make sense to also be angry about what appear to be treasonous actions taken by Trump and his associates: Collaborating with Russian agents to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.
A FINE ‘FIDDLER’
Thank you to everyone involved with the production of “Fiddler on the Roof” at Newman University last weekend. It was magnificent. Thank you again. GRATEFUL THEATERGOER
STATUS QUO
Let me put this out there; how many people would do this? Eight years ago or so you go to a car dealer and you buy a certain model car. Six months later it’s breaking down. So you take it back and trade in for the exact same car. You go another couple months, you’ve got other problems so you take it back and you get the exact same car again, and you have to keep getting it fixed or replaced. Nobody would do that. But we will do that with Congress, and Congress does it with legislation. That’s what they did with all these tweaks to the ACA, and now they’re doing it again with the attempts at replacing it. And we keep voting these same people in. Congress can act like no company or individual that can and get away with it. Oh well, people keep voting for the same two parties, so I guess this is what they want. MR. STATUS QUO
THE JAMMO KING
Yes I want to give a shout out to Bob Kelly, the traffic reporter on Channel 29. He’s being enrolled into the Hall of Fame and I really enjoy his traffic reports with the jammo’s and having a jelly donut, etc. You go, Bob! Congrats.
NO LAUGHS
The world is an emptier place without Jerry Lewis and Dick Gregory. I saw both of those performers live when I was younger. They were both excellent and they both seemed genuinely like real people. I wish I could’ve met either one of them, or even both of them before they died. But anyway, if you didn’t get their humor or didn’t like the humor, I’m sorry. I thought they were excellent.

CLAP OFF
Former intelligence chief James Clapper is out running his mouth about Donald Trump. Isn’t this the same James Clapper who admitted to lying under oath (or as he said, make an erroneous statement) on national television in a Senate hearing? James Clapper should go hide his head. He’s damaged goods who lied under oath.
DEMS BREAKS
“A Proud Democrat” is totally clueless. He used all his good insults like “stupid,” “fool,” etc. It takes one to know one. This guy thinks JFK is the greatest president ever. JFK didn’t get a chance to mess anything up. If he had that last year or a second term we’d be taking about things differently. But we all love him and think he was the greatest thing since buttered bread.
FIGHTING WORDS
If Trump is so patriotic, why doesn’t he send his son and his son-in-law over with the troops to fight? They’re supposed to be so patriotic and American, but I don’t see them going over there fighting, them college boys.
BRING BACK FINS
When are they going to put the fins back on the Cadillac and make a real Cadillacs again? They look nothing a real Cadillacs now. These new ones look like hot air balloons; the ugliest things ever made. Come on, America, let’s get the fins back on them Cadillacs.
CAN’T AFFORD OBAMA
I can’t believe someone in Sound Off is still complaining about Obama’s once a year trip to Hawaii. Did you hear the reports out this week? The Secret Service will run out of money by the end of September protecting Trump family and all their trips. They’ve already maxed out for the year for overtime. And really, protection for Tiffany and her boyfriend to go to Berlin and Eric and Don, Jr. for all their business trips?
