Orchids to

John Krull’s column in Wednesday’s paper regarding no asterisks on the First Amendment, free speech is for everyone, whether we agree with them or not.

Ozols Construction for the wonderful job on our house this summer, it went very smoothly and was so organized, from Andy and Carla Hatton.

President Trump for tripling Jimmy Kimmel’s ratings.

Dr. Vermillion, Hallie and his staff for taking care of Brandy yesterday.

the super nurse and all the other caring Columbus people who were there immediately to help me when I fell in the Kroger parking lot.

the Justice Department for showing that even the most arrogant people are not “above the law.”

Onions to

shrinkflation; I’m old enough to remember the standard coffee can was 3 pounds in a metal can for just under $3, but now it’s plastic with almost half the coffee and nearly five times that old price.

the ironic statement “no one is above the law” spoken by the government official when she works for the occupant of the White House, the biggest law breaker in this nation.

those who fly faded or torn flags.

television comedians who misplace blame and hide behind First Amendment apron strings with half-hearted apologies, with predictable effects.

the fact that our USA, which belongs to the people, is being transformed from a republic to an autocracy controlled by the occupant of the White House.

the petulant, shameful vindictiveness of the would-be king that knows no bounds and no moral tenets.

the state for cutting funds to a very successful public health program that reduced maternal and infant mortality rates.

Happy Birthday to

Linda Moss, from Luretta.
