July 17

Orchids to

the editorial about the negative effects on weather forecasting and potential disasters alerts due to the DOD’s information cuts and staffing shortages.

Larry Shade for his letter explaining, in very clear terms, the deleterious impact of the president’s TACO tariffs.

Onions to

the political party wanting our federal agents to be unmasked, which would allow doxing, but are OK with those who protest, riot and spread hatred to be masked to prevent them from being doxed.

those who think that a bloated federal government is a problem, when so much more is being lost to the bloated grab for power going on in the White House.

the POTUS’ plan to incinerate tons of food that was destined to 1.5 million children, that is certainly waste and abuse.

the health care provider that does not understand if they cannot be paid directly (as it has been), they are not getting paid.

state and local officials who are trying to nullify federal laws, just like what happened in the 1850s.

Happy Birthday to

Alex Joselin, from family and friends.
