March 6

Orchids to

Michael Hicks for an insightful column on quality of life in “midwestern Muncies” and why their economies struggle to grow and attract new people and jobs.

Morton Marcus for reproaching the Indiana legislature for not solving the problems but always kicking the can down the road.

the Wednesday editorial for pointing out how waging a war with Iran does not benefit anyone, especially the U.S.

Onions to

the “Beautiful Plan” to bomb Iran, with no plan at all for protecting American civilian lives trying to escape the area and no mention of an exit plan.

the elected one who every week is single-handedly adding millions of dollars to the national debt, while adding undeclared millions to the family fortune.

“politics ends at the water’s edge,” one of many unifying themes undermined by the disaffected.

the elected official and his lapdogs for a series of confusing misinformation and outright lies about the war against Iran.

the senators who voted against the War Power Act, allowing the warmongering elected leader to keep on wasting U.S. lives and money.

the congressional MAGA lawmakers for wanting to waste more money on an already overinflated DHS budget.

anyone who thinks the IRS being short-staffed is a bad thing.
