President Trump has defiantly refused to back down from his allegation that Barack Obama wiretapped his phones at Trump Tower during the election. Trump has never produced any evidence to support this very serious allegation against a former president. Now Trump is maintainin­g that Britain helped Obama carry out the alleged wiretappin­g…. Again, Trump hasn’t provided any evidence of Britain’s involvemen­t. I’m very concerned that the country can’t endure four years of Trump’s frequent lying and bizarre behavior.

This is the limerick man with a commentary on the high cost of meds: “Let me see, should I eat this month or pay rent?/Should I buy my meds or live in a tent?/Big Pharma’s CEOs need my money/ But I’m so broke it aint funny/I wonder where my congressma­n went.”

The Democratic party and its corrupt mainstream media wing try to make like racism, sexism and Russia are the only major issues. When the adult population is polled, we find those issues at the bottom of the list. High on the list are the economy, health care, corruption, terrorism, crime and foreign relations. These are the real issues and I urge Americans to stop looking at the shiny objects the corrupt media puts out there and focus on the important issues, including the corruption of the Democratic party and the media.

Dear President Trump: Please show us, the American people, the check you got from Mexico to pay for your wall before constructi­on starts. You said over and over that Mexico would pay for the wall. Was that just another one of your lies? If you were like Pinocchio, your nose would now be a 200’ redwood tree and you’d need Spicer to help you carry it around.

Okay, Trump Stumpers, all this ranting and raving about Obama, you forget that he was elected and reelected with bigger numbers and crowds than Donald. Even Donald couldn’t make up the numbers; he lied about it as usual. So you are in the minority. Trump Stumpers say let Donald do his job. If we let him continue his ways we won’t have a country in six months. Time to dump the Trump.

People scoff at me when I tell them that their smartphone­s and smart appliances are gateways to Big Brother spying on them. However, back in March 2012 it was reported in Wired magazine that then-CIA head Gen. Petraeus stated, “We’ll spy on you through your dishwasher.” Are we at that point yet? Only the CIA knows for sure.

I stopped watching Channel 10 news in the morning because they brought the meteorolog­ist from Channel 6 over. I didn’t like him then and I don’t like him now. I’ve been watching Channel 6 news for the last couple of months, and they have the worst news reporting group I’ve ever heard. The man shows a picture of the White House and says President Trump must be getting up to start his day. Who cares? There are more important things in the news than watching the White House to see if Trump is getting out of

bed. Isn’t it a joke that Chuck Schumer says New York City is going to lose all this money? What difference does it make? New York is a sanctuary city, they don’t let the cops do their jobs down there. If they lose $2.5 million of whatever Schumer’s crying about, so what? Our military needs it more than a sanctuary city does. I’m so happy that the far left liberals can’t sleep. I wasn’t able to sleep for the past eight years. I’m sure they didn’t care about that, but I’m sleeping like a baby

now. Since January 2017 a completely disrespect­ful, immoral person has been leading this country to selfdestru­ction. Give it a year and we’ll be there.

Gee, I think Donald Trump has my phone line wiretapped. I also think he’s hacking into my emails and I think he’s spying on me with my smart TV. Even though I have no evidence of any of this, I demand a full

investigat­ion! This is about the welfare system. Why aren’t people going after these fathers who get these young girls pregnant with one kid after another and don’t try to educate themselves or get a job and don’t have to pay. Who does? The taxpayers. Come on, they can do something: work in MacDonald’s, sweeping the floor. Bring them to court and start making them pay. The taxpayers can’t afford this all the

time. Time Warner has now become Spectrum, and they have a catchy little catchphras­e, “It’s a New Day.” Yep, it’s a new day with the same old crappy shows day after day, week after week, month after month. Same old shows, same old repeats, same old movies. And guess what? It’s a new day, and now they’ve taken away Grit TV too, in addition to the five or six stations they took away at the end of the year. Don’t you love it? It’s a new day, everybody

smile! Most Republican­s have gone into CYA mode and refuse to really look into Trump’s connection­s to Putin and Russia. Like the German sergeant in “Hogan’s Heroes,” they know nothing.
