A practical example of the City Commission and APD’s incompetence: Taxpayer money used for cameras to catch speeders going 41 mph near a school at 3:30 p.m., but no effort to crack down on deadbeat criminals in Camaros with no license plate or muffler, going 70 mph+ at 8:15 p.m. on the same road daily.

I think it’s disgusting that The Herald would print the squawk stating that people not vaccinated should get what they deserve. When vaccinated people have had severe side effects and died from these vaccines, should I say they got what they deserved?

Since the Georgia Legislature is session, will the “Trump Republicans” in Atlanta create a new tax to help pay for Trump’s legal problems like the legislature did in Florida.

What hypocrisy that a failing Congress (each one of you) calls on a failing president to invoke presidential action to fix the border crisis after three years. To you incompetents who are ever politically bickering, self-preserving campaigning, buying votes with deficit entitlement grants … close the damn border!

It appears our retaliation will be another multimillion-dollar fireworks show. If we want to protect our troops, we will have to strike Iran directly. If we don’t want to protect them, they should come home. When you get hit, you should hit back twice as hard.

The leading cause of injury in old men is them thinking they are still young men.

Just saw a list of the highest-paid state employees. Of course, Kirby Smart is highest paid. But one caught my eye: The school superintendent of Washington County has a $784,000 salary. That county’s population is less than 20,000; the per capita income is $23,687. What kind of politics played out in this salary?

SMRs, now that Taylor Swift is on the Biden bandwagon, Trump is in trouble. Trump has about as much a chance of winning as Auburn has of winning in Athens.

Republicans have given up all pretense of being a serious party. They act like, since their constituents are stupid, everybody is stupid. They suggest Taylor Swift will alienate half the country by endorsing Biden. Funny they didn’t have those concerns about Gene Simmons, Ted Nugent, or Kid Rock. Hypocrites. The Equality Man

Why is it we are quick to jump to conclusions, but slow to walk to resolutions?

If Miss B.J. wasn’t reading the internet, she would know it’s time for America to wake up because the Republicans don’t know how to govern.

1800s Ellis Island? Really? This current flood is tens of thousands of petty criminals, convicted rapists, murderers and gang members, Cartel members, Muslim extremists, Chinese agents of all types and terrorist watch list animals. Not exactly your great great grandparents, huh?

So the Secretary of Defense says he is sorry for not telling the president, the Defense Department and American citizens about his cancer and being completely out of pocket for days? Saying you are sorry is enough to keep his job? Not for most in public service. So what makes this guy so special?
