Sept. 5

Orchids to

unelected federal judges who follow the law and rule based on law, not some made up fantasy whim promoted by the occupant of the White House.

the “green light, go light” technology for our first responders.

people who are supportive of LGBTQ+ people and Pride events.

the guest editorial stressing the need to do more besides thoughts and prayers to prevent killings and random acts of violence.

Larry DeBoer for his lesson on economics and taxes, the shrinking tax base does not look very good.

the federal judge that ruled that the use of the National Guard to do police work in California was unlawful and unconstitutional.

Onions to

the local high school allowing parents of players to coach varsity level sports, favoritism and “parent” coaches do not belong in high school athletics, especially in the head coach position.

the local high school coaching staff refusing to have conversations with players regarding playing time/performance, how do players learn to improve without open conversations?

the statement made by the occupant of the White House about the U.S. becoming a third world country, which rings true because he’s taking us there.

those who don’t know or care that the Hospice concerts are a fundraiser for their exceptional services for which they are responsible for the cost, rain or shine.

people who believe that celebrating Pride is a parenting failure, not loving your LGBTQIA+ children unconditionally is the real parenting failure.

people who are so unhappy with their lives that they are hateful towards other people freely expressing joy and love.

not letting students take donations for school fundraisers at the soccer fields, which is public property and paid for by taxpayers.

the president of a nonprofit organization that is making a quarter of $1 million.

so-called media personalities whose speech and behavior grows worse every day.
