July 11

Orchids to

Zac McClellan for all the hard work he has done to put IU Columbus sports on the map, from an appreciative fan.

Aaron Miller for his column on living in the gilded age, obviously we haven’t learned anything from past history.

John Krull for a great American history lesson.

the only U.S. senator of his political party who has clearly condemned violence against ICE agents.

Onions to

the president, who says he hates Democrats (me and maybe you).

local organizers planning an event to encourage “trouble” and violence.

those who think that little tidbits like no tax on tips are worth cutting millions of people off health care.

the vice president’s insulting statements that some Americans are more American than others, is he proposing a caste system?

the new TIF for the Taylorsville factory, the result of the federal and state fiscal policies of taking from the poor and giving to the rich.

Happy Birthday to

Willie East, from your daughters and granddaughters.
