Trump’s response telling: The Jan. 6 Congressional Investigative Committee is requesting national archived documents and witness testimony from those who could have pertinent information leading up to the insurrection. Apparently the former president won’t cooperate with the seriousness of the investigation while knowing it is plausible that it could clearly reveal the extent of him being a participant?
Hooters bottoms debate: As if we don’t have enough to worry about already with the short-term effects of global warming, the proliferation of guns and the possibility of a coup by right-wing thugs, we now have a dilemma over the newly-designed uniforms at Hooters. And whether you’re offended by the latest attire of the waitresses or you simply prefer the throwback bottoms, I think you’ll agree that what’s really needed is a redesigned menu beyond those classic chicken wings.

Celebrate Native Americans: Many cities and places in the country have decided that Columbus Day should be changed to Indigenous Peoples Day. It is time the Native American people should get a day of recognition after long being ignored and their points of view disregarded. I, for one, do not and never have celebrated Columbus Day. Columbus in fact was a horrible man and did not discover the Americas. To celebrate Columbus is to continue opening wounds of mass genocide, slavery, rape, torture and savage conquest of native Indigenous people.
Time to help America: I believe we can afford the $3.5 trillion over 10 years infrastructure bill. We spent $2 trillion in Afghanistan, $725 billion on national defense in 2020 and Trump proposed $10 trillion in tax cuts. This country needs help with child care and prekindergarten, Medicare expansion, paid family and medical leave, a cut in prescription drug prices, money for climate change initiatives and our crumbling infrastructure. It’s time to spend money on America.
Trump started it: I want to Speak Out for my morning laugh. One commenter is taking President Biden to task for his dirty shots at Fox News and saying Biden only likes papers that make him look like a king. The past four years the previous president constantly berated any media outlet that criticized him? Everything he didn’t like was fake news.
