Contraception is next

The right to abortion is gone, and next will be the right to contraception. Look at the all male bodies that will propose this. The Republicans have a few nutty women like Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene, but it’s majority male. The Republicans have an agenda.

Blaing Trump

The writer says for people to do their research before blaming Donald Trump for everything. Forget it. Trump is so the minds of these people that he owns them. Any type of news, true or false, that blames Trump for anything is going to be magnified to the extreme. These people owned by Trump don’t care whether it’s true or not, as long as there’s something negative that can be printed about Trump.

Amazon

Amazon is coming to Mississippi. The owner is the richest person in the world. Why are we giving him tax breaks and loans? The governor won’t feed hungry children one meal a day, but he will give multi-billion-dollar corporations tax breaks and low interest loans. What is wrong with this picture? Welfare for the rich.

Control freaks

The Mississippi Taliban strikes again. “Mississippians would be prevented from placing an initiative on the ballot to change the state’s strict anti-abortion laws under a proposal passed Wednesday by the House of Representatives.” Will they allow capital punishment on the ballot?

New threat

Now we are under threat of violence from Donald Trump, a potential candidate for office of president. Is this how we will allow candidates to act? This sounds like Mexican drug lords, not the Democracy that we have enjoyed.

Newsworthy verdict

This verdict should not be missed nor ignored: Two separate juries found that Donald Trump is liable for the forcible sexual assault and then defamation of a woman. He has been ordered to pay the woman over $88 million in the two cases. Some may claim that these trials were politically motivated, but that argument fails logic when two separate juries found him liable for committing exactly what he said that he has done to women in a 2016 “Access Hollywood“ recording.

The economy

If Republicans would stop buying what Donald Trump is selling, they would see that the economy is doing great. If they stop sending Trump, a so-called billionaire, their money, they wouldn’t put their finances in jeopardy.
