Jan. 6

Orchids to

President Trump for removing a evil dictator from Venezuela and the Venezuelans who are celebrating, but once again the other side is defending the villain and not the victims.

Capitol Police that defended the Capitol, our legislators and our democracy on Jan. 6.

Jay C and Columbus Fire Station 6 for having Santa Claus for the children, it’s greatly appreciated.

a leader who actually does something about restoring democracy instead of just talking about it.

Onions to

not realizing there is no moral or national security justification for the power/oil grab in Venezuela.

the political party that purposely ignored the health subsidies expiration deadline and went on holiday break without a care in the world, leaving millions to face insurance hikes.

the attack and kidnapping in Venezuela under the veil of drug smuggling, which is more likely the elected one looking to secure access to the rich natural resources.

the elected one and his administration for sticking their noses into world affairs, while completely ignoring the needs of the people here at home in the U.S.

the do as I say, not as I do attitude of the globalist elite!

the federal elected official illegally starting a pointless war with Venezuela, and our representatives sit on their hands and watch in horror but say nothing.

the elected one, who after five years, shows no remorse and offers no apology for creating the attack on the U.S. Capitol, while Capitol officers are still suffering.

all the millions wasted on arresting one man and his wife with no benefit for the U.S.

top state officials wanting to return to having religious displays in the Statehouse and excluding all but one faith.

seeing the U.S. become a greedy international aggressor, blatantly imposing its will on small countries in order to grab their natural resources.

only one out of 70 of Gov. Mike Braun’s State Board of Commissions appointments residing in Bartholomew County and two in Johnson County, with none from Shelby, Decatur, Jennings, Jackson and Brown counties.

the elected leader, who having stopped all the wars in 2025, had to start one in Venezuela so he can then claim he stopped it, will Iran be next?

our federal leaders that refuse to honor our Capitol Police for their bravery on Jan. 6.
