Onions to …
• people who want me to save the Crump — spend your own money on it, not mine.
• fascists and all who support them; my father and uncles bravely fought them once before and we don’t want them in America.
• the current administration for increasing co-pay for military veterans’ medicines.
• manhole covers below finished street levels.
• the writer who, like this president, needs to get over President Obama.

• those responsible for poor financial planning resulting in a $4,000 health insurance premium increase on my $15/hour salary.

• the local Democrats for another four years of your tax-and-spend mayor who claims to be a Republican.
• local Democrats for defeating the District One incumbent — thank you!
• the Democrats who put onions to President Trump for attending a fight in New York City and whose memory was so short that they forgot about Obama taking similar trips to New York, wasting taxpayers’ money as well.

• those that won’t grow up and give up the idealistic thoughts of saving the Crump based on old memories and feelings.
• Americans who need to wake up and hear this — a half-truth is a whole lie.
• the city that is more worried about a stupid, worthless mall than a historical theater.
• people that think Obama was good for anything other than making a fool of himself.
