Gov. Ron DeSantis said bridge to Sanibel Island will be open for the general public Oct. 21. This is what happens when you focus on the job at hand and don’t worry about changing the gender of kindergarten through fourth grade or what signs to put on bathroom doors or secretly financing white privilege commercials but not taking any responsibility for it. That’s what happens when you just do your job.

Each day this column prints both praises and complaints about what one political party over another has done to either benefit or destroy the county. There is plenty of criticism and some credit deserved on both sides. Until the people we continue to elect can think past themselves, make compromises and muster up the courage to talk about the glaring family and societal issues that neither government nor more money can remedy and we are willing take ownership of our personal responsibilities, nothing will change.

In spite of the mainstream media covering up how harmful Joe Biden’s radical Democrat agenda is and how horribly its affected all of us, people with an ounce of common sense know who to blame. Kevin from Oak Lawn, though and others like him are the reasons for our country’s divide. They’d rather go down in flames from this obvious destructive Democrat agenda that’s hurting everyone than go against their beloved Democratic Party.

It was reported that within six months we will be in a recession and advice was given for us to pay down our debts. I’ve got news for those giving out this advice. If most people who have outstanding debt had the money, the debt would have been paid. It also was stated now is the time to get a second job to help you pay off your loans. You’ve got to be kidding me? Raising interest rates hoping to stop growth, now telling us to get a second job. It’s saying to me, you have enjoyed the good life, now, it’s payback time.

I’m hearing Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker are in a dead heat for the race for senator of Georgia. Are the people of Georgia really that stupid?
