Onions to
the former federal elected official planning a news conference to spread more lies which we can assume he will.
the political party that needs to pivot and understand how dangerous and awful these years of rhetoric and policy have been.
those blaming either president for COVID. Even they can’t overcome the stubbornness of the American people.
those who only watch biased news networks and continue to put misleading information in the onions comments.
believing that the current administration is letting people die from COVID when the previous administration promoted wacky remedies and admitted downplaying the virus from the get-go.
inconsiderate drivers at the eastside big box store parking in front of fire exit doors clearly marked “no parking” with their flashers on.
the local congressman who was voted in because he had an “R” next to his name on the ballot, which would be impossible to lose in this gerrymandered district.
Political party representatives who fear the truth will come out if they cooperate with the Jan. 6th insurrection. It’s time to remove them from office.
those who would take advantage of a pandemic to price gouge.
not knowing the difference between calling it a hoax and demanding folks to get vaccinated for it.
local representative for voting against the Captiol riot investigation. Evil succeeds when good men do nothing.

the city for charging each carload of people $30 to see the Christmas lights and giving city and county employees raises.
all the rude people in the world.
the new omicron variant that evades Regeneron and the new Eli Lilly drug remdesivir.
the senator who voted ‘yes’ on a $768 billion military defense fund but ‘no’ to bills that would actually benefit his constituents and all Americans.
the so-called pro-life party who wants children to be born but now does not want to extend the child tax credit so the families can feed those children.
people who attempt to deflect attention from the failures of the current leader by always criticizing the former leader.
