.Putin is a madman
Isn’t it terrible how Putin is killing the Ukrainian people? He has now taken to bombing schools, hospitals and even the train station areas where people are attempting to flee the bombings and destruction. Someone has to take this Putin out, for good. Even many of the Russian people don’t like what is happening in all the killings in Ukraine. It’s a terrible annihilation of people including children and babies who haven’t gotten out. It saddens my heart to see the bombings. It’s hard to believe a person would do this. But, Putin is a madman.
Trump’s strength
I rarely read what Charlie Selle writes in the News-Sun because he is a Democratic partisan hack. His recent article ‘Fog of War….” is just untrue. In his rant, he portrays President Trump as buddies with Russia’s Putin. However in truth, there is no one Putin would rather have in the White House other than weak, feckless and corrupt politicians like Obama or Biden. During the four years Trump was in office his policy of diplomacy through strength prevented Russia from acting on their expansionist tendencies. Whereas, under Obama (aka don’t cross my red line unless you want to), Russia invaded Crimea; and Putin’s recent invasion of Ukraine ignored Biden’s (aka reserve 10% payoffs to the big guy) weak threats.
Danger ahead?
Several people have died in the Walmart parking due to drug and firearms sales. What will the safety of people be when the gambling casino opens up?
Two weeks too early
Thank goodness we’re at the point where masks can start being removed if our numbers remain good. But what is wrong with people who belittle those who choose to keep wearing masks, and try to make them take it off? To wear a mask is their choice. Leave them alone. Personally, I feel we are two weeks too early to stop wearing masks in our area, so I will continue to wear mine for a bit longer. My body, my mask, my choice and I wear it proud. It’s my God-given constitutional right to wear a mask if I choose.
WWTD
Great idea: We could make the What Would Trump Do bracelets — WWTD — then you can support evil dictators, lock up child immigrants, support white supremacist groups, destroy our environment for money, use campaign funds illegally, bankrupt several casinos, hire the same lawyer as the Italian mob once had, grab gals you know where, incite an insurrection, cheat on each of your wives and sexually abuse women of all ages.
This is insanity
You see these ads pleading for help for abused animals. But, here was have a whole country of children, babies and human beings fleeing their homes, seeking shelter in subways, no food or water, others wounded or dead unable to be retrieved while being annihilated. All while the world watches. Who’s pleading for their rescue while multitudes are dying? The little children and babies won’t have any energy to cry, and death will silence them. This is insanity.
