Onions to

those who don’t realize that there is not a single person who has not lied.

the closed-door investigations that continue to show no further proof of crime and corruption with the current administration and his son.

believing taxpayers should offer free permanent housing for drug users. We already have that, it’s called jail.

rules to keep homeless from certain areas but no rules to restrict children from viewing a stripper-style drag show in public parks.

people who take up two parking spots with their vehicles.

the ex-federal elected official who knows the facts will send him to prison so he is trying the victim defense.

those not realizing if we spent as much time and resources on the homeless as we do on art there would be no homeless.

fast food business that puts in kiosks “to be a better experience” and still can’t get the order correct.

the large company telling how much money they’re making on their quarterly results but don’t tell that they doubled their insurance on retirees.

political ads that badmouth protecting the Constitution and right to life.

those obsessed with climate change, making you think it’s the biggest issue this country is facing.

the city with more interest and energy on placing or painting junk all over our city streets than paying attention to the affordable housing crisis.

people who are worried about the “lies” of their enemies but don’t care about the lies of their friends.

Happy Birthday to

Josh Turner, love your family.

Sandy Retz, from Judy Wood.
