Onions to …

• those who do not know a green wreath with Christmas ornaments on it is a Christmas wreath, not a holiday wreath.
• Money wasted on a phony investigation of the president.
• ignorant people who are in such a rush with their day that they do not have the decency and respect to stop for a funeral procession.

• everyone who fancy themselves defense counsel for the president.
• the local school corporation for no longer paying for sub-nurses, potentially leaving schools medically vulnerable when the school nurse is absent.

• a roofer in Hartsville who did not finish our roof and took our money — we’d paid in full.
