You’re a puppet
Would somebody please prescribe Bumbling Joe Biden some testosterone, and if he is already on it get him more a lot more. How pathetic to keep saying things about Putin and everything else, and always let the so-called U.S. officials roll back and say what you really meant. You’re a puppet, Mr. President. Stop going off script. We can only keep you from looking foolish for so long.
Political bias?
Is there political bias in our social media? Consider this: Every day I’m bombarded by sponsored ads on Facebook that pretend to offer two expensive planter boxes, supposedly from Big Lots, but clearly not, for just $49 or a full set of TaylorMade golf clubs for just $98. These ads appear over and over. I guess Facebook makes money on these “sponsored ads,” and so they don’t care if they’re a scam. Yet, Facebook “fact checkers” have shown no hesitation or delay in censoring or labeling any conservative post with which they disagree as false information. Amazing.

Voted for Biden
I voted for Joe Biden because the sitting president was “unhinged.” That’s not the opinion of the “fake news,” that’s the opinion of the people who worked for him everyday. As far as not being able to afford gas, maybe you should go get a second job. There are plenty available. Also, learn how to manage your money better. Maybe cut the cable TV. There are people in this world who are really suffering.
Think and live
My Ukrainian father, born in 1901, taught me to polish his boots as a child. I was his firstborn when he was 46. He taught me that one doesn’t smoke, light a cigarette, polish boots or do anything to reveal your position to the enemy. Looking at photos of Ukrainians gathered in a basement as a bomb shelter, several are using their cellphones. Please, turn them off. Not mute, turn them off. Think and live, you might be my family.
An embarrassment
Biden is the stupidest, sissy-boy coward I have ever seen, and he is an embarrassment to the office of the president of the United States. You Democrats sure did get what you ordered. Too bad the rest of the world has to put up with it, too.
Americans first
Today again as I read the paper, especially this forum, it’s amazing how many people have no common sense and loyalty to America. “Talking points” has no idea about living check to check. This president has caused inflation, fuel price increase and just too much to mention. Another caller states that the previous president caused everything. Well, we all need to wake up and see what is happening. We are not taking care of Americans, our border is under invasion and of course we are the world police. Our history is what it is. Look at the history of others. Let’s be Americans first, not everything else.
