Daycare facility

The recent incident of the accused abuse of an autistic child at a daycare facility is appalling. My heart bleeds for this child and his mother. These types of businesses should be forced to post all past violations in bold print on the front door for all to see. It takes special people to care for autistic children, which can be difficult to deal with. Owners should vet their employees better to make sure they have the temperament to do the job properly. Kudos to the whistle-blower for doing the right thing.

Trump’s history

Personalities aside, Donald Trump was already president. During that time we were on a great track as a country. There weren’t any new wars, the economy was growing strong, and illegal immigration was being directly dealt with. He demanded that other nations played fairly, and he was very successful. On the other hand, the Democrat party made immediate moves to destroy our prosperity on all levels.

Loud music

I would like to know why Felix’s, less than a mile west of the new Luxury RV park, was made to move their band stage to area near Hwy 90, away from residences so as not to disturb their peace and quiet. But the New Luxury RV park on the corner of Cowan Road and U.S. 90 has its band stage just feet from our established older residential neighborhood. GPD and our city councilman are doing nothing to help us, their law abiding citizens and constituents, enjoy our homes without this loud raucous music disturbing our peace and quiet. This raucous music goes on for four to six hours at a time.

Elliott’s departure

To borrow a phrase from my very staid sixth grade teacher, orchids to WLOX for its adherence to journalistic integrity and onions to Dave Elliott for his failure to do so.

Satire, huh?

David Elliot is playing the “satire” card. Telling voters to stay home rather than vote their choice is unpatriotic. Also, I know who Donald Trump is, and Elliot does too. That’s the real reason he is questioning Harris.

Shouldn’t have been fired

There are journalists all over TV making it clear who they intend to vote for. Not sure why Dave Elliott had to pay the price.

Why was he fired?

Once upon a time in America the news was the news. That has changed dramatically, no true reporter or journalist can speak their minds without retribution. Dave Elliott is the latest example! Why?

Not fair to Dave

Former newsman Dave Elliott must have hit a nerve with ABC and NBC affiliates. Both WLOX and WDAM have taken down any connection to his recent firing. And did so very quickly. With all the talk of presenters of the news always being objective, it does not seem that the affiliates of ABC or NBC want any such restraints. Just try to find any trace of Dave Elliott or his forty year career in a story on any local form of liberal electronic media. His modest support for a conservative got him canned. Now that is not very fair or objective.

Tips

Tips are most certainly reported. 95% of payments in restaurants are made with a credit card. Those tips are automatically reported and taxed. Also, I’ve not met anyone whose SSI isn’t taxed. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, don’t talk.

Trump at MSG

Donald Trump sure knows how to waste a golden opportunity at Madison Square Garden, in a state nobody thinks he can win. He presents for your entertainment a “comedian” with a disgusting racist routine, a disgraced and disbarred attorney and a washed up former wrestler with nothing to say but who can rip his shirt off with the best of them. After the fact his reps say they don’t represent Trump’s views. Huh?

Endorsements

The Teamsters Union, the LA Times, and the Washington Post all chose not to endorse Vice President Harris for president. Wow, I didn’t see that coming.

Supporting Harris

A vote for Vice President Harris is a vote for integrity over lies and corruption.
