Orchids to
Xfinity technician David, for installing our TV, Internet, and phone in an efficient, clean and professional manner, from John and Carolyn Wright.
Onions to
the proposed new private school that sounds too much like an alt-right supremacist enterprise.
the representative commenting on the Russian invasion threat, not recognizing it is mostly due to the former leader’s fatal attraction to Putin.
those responsible for the 41% rise in child poverty by ending the Child Tax Credit.
complaining of banning and censoring when we need to discuss who decides what is obscene and misinformation.
businesses, especially medical, for answering their phone with recordings.
keeping the golf courses, based on a minority of the populace, bringing up the, “What to do with them?” question yet again.
the leader doing nothing on our southern border to stop the flow of fentanyl, which is killing so many of our local citizens.
teachers who told my children that they can finally get back to teaching – what have you been doing these past few years?
exuberant teachers who confirmed to their students that they could not teach effectively with a simple cloth barrier.
those who believe false science, false biology, and pornography is being taught to children in our schools or libraries.
covering up or watering down inhuman truths in life, keeping children in the dark about Nazism and the Holocaust, the KKK and racism.
the conservative right and the liberal left, both guilty of trying to ban books, pipe down, and let me read!
the rude and short pharmacy tech when it was not my fault that the automated system sent me to a live person.
