Why is it such a critical fight that you are able to carry a gun,

but I have no right to feel safe and secure? The Second Amendment supporters are more than happy to tote their guns at protests in an obvious attempt to intimidate people. You want rights but are happy to trample on my rights? It doesn’t work that way. If you want rights, you shouldn’t be so quick to infringe on the rights of others.

If being Woke is teaching history of slavery,

Europeans being taken advantage of during immigratio­n during the 1900s, gays being discrimina­ted against and woman not having the same rights of men, then I guess I am woke and proud of it. Denying history to future generation­s is nothing more than trying to control them to be believe the same ignorant things that the right wing does.

Why do Democrats assume they are going to lose the House and Senate in the fall?

Maybe that attitude is the cause of losses in the past. Just roll over and let the most inept politician­s take control. Or just maybe if all the lazy Democrats would turn out and VOTE for a change, the

majority would rule. This may be the most important vote we ever cast. If you are satisfied with the lies and corruption found in the Republican party, then just sit on your couch and think your vote does not count. Well, if you let Republican­s control voting, your vote will not count. Democracy is your choice at this point. Better not take a chance and end up in a society such as that in Russia. This is important folks. Please make a personal effort to make all those saying the Democrats will lose eat their words. I believe there are many Republican­s not intimidate­d by the leftist extremists taking over the party but we all need to vote as never before in history. Remember the tried to overturn a legal election before!

Why are these school tax increase referendum­s necessary?

The Republican legislatur­e is returning tax dollars via a mass rebate while school districts are telling us our schools will fail if we don’t vote ourselves a tax increase to pay for the schools. All just smoke and mirrors my friends. Who are they trying to kid?

You can’t support banning books and be for freedom

at the same time.

Only one political party is trying to destroy our democracy

in order to maintain their hold on power. And if you’re one of those gullible people that thinks Trump actually won the last election, please let me tell you about this Nigerian prince I know.

Not a single elected Democrat has to lie about where they were on January 6,

2021. Not a single one. Not Antifa, not BLM, even though the guilty Republican­s tried to divert blame to them.

So now Marjorie Taylor Greene says the Catholic Church

is being controlled by Satan? All this because they support immigratio­n? She is not fit to govern. But sadly she will likely still get elected

by the radical right.

Kevin McCarthy better be more careful telling the truth

about our country’s insurrecti­on. Republican­s don’t take kindly to saying out loud the facts of that day. Or the planning that evidently was carried out by GOP representa­tives. This outrageous and dangerous derelictio­n of duty is stunning and wholly un-American. Send a message with your voice, your vote.

Well of course Donald Trump is appealing a judge’s ruling

that he pay a fine of $10,000 for contempt of court. What did we expect? Trump appeals everything. Just wait. If he loses his appeal, he will appeal even that.
