Americans are abusing their freedoms on the Fourth

We as a nation have just celebrated our Independence Day, and as I look around I see numerous examples of how we exercise that freedom and abuse the rights of others.

Aerial fireworks are forbidden by law from being launched anywhere in a residential area — except by authorized personnel.

Likewise, ground fireworks’ displays are restricted to private property.

However, this past July 4, no one needed to go to a town sponsored display, they just needed to look out their window and watch their neighbors violate the laws and send smoldering fragments of spent fireworks cascading over their house and yards.

Don’t forget the noise and the windows vibrating that panic the pets and revive painful memories for our veterans.

Then, there is the acrid stench that permeates the area long after the noise is over and irritates your eyes, nose, sinus, and lungs — especially for those who have breathing disabilities.

It creates exactly the same problems as the smoke from burning firewood on days when it is forbidden. Yep, we Americans know how to exercise our freedoms. Unfortunately, we tend to disregard the corollary — “so long as exercising them doesn’t negatively impact others.”

It’s mind-boggling how little Trump knows about social issues

President Donald Trump, in an interview with Fox News, painted a dark picture of people “living in hell” due to homelessness in major U.S. cities, claiming that it is “a phenomenon that started two years ago.”

He blamed Democratic mayors the problem.

The sit-down interview with for Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired Monday night. He pointed to the “liberal establishment” and sanctuary cities run by “very liberal people” to blame for this crisis.

“It’s a phenomenon that started two years ago. It’s disgraceful,” Trump said in response, seeming to refer to when he took office in 2017.

His lack of reality is astonishing. His claim is simply outrageous and patently false.

In Phoenix, Central Arizona Shelter Services CASS; United Methodist Outreach Ministries UMOM; and many others have been serving those who are experiencing homelessness, for decades.

A group of 12 agencies collaborate at the Human Services Campus serving 10,000 or more persons a year.

There are available a myriad of documents outlining the causes and strategies to help people recover personal and economic stability.

I find his lack of knowledge and understanding of social issues incomprehensible.

Why aren’t we using the summer resource of empty public schools?

With all the schools out for the summer, why aren’t the public-school buildings near the border being opened to house the people coming up from the south?

Putting them in like a political idea. cages, etc., seems

Dems need to stop melting down and speak to the working class

Thank you Jon Gabriel for a timely slap across the Democrats’ collective faces.

Wake up!

Drop the ideological poker game. Be pragmatic to the very themes that harvested victory in 2018. Most working people have not seen the big money Trump boasted of.

Here’s to hoping a Democrat emerges from the meltdown to seize the strategy, again.

Please?

Harris seems to view every policy issue through the lens of race

Why does Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris need to turn everything into a racial thing instead of keeping her most recent diatribe about poorer citizens difficulty in owning houses nonracial and propose a bill to assist people who may qualify for such.

More inanity.
