Squawkbox – December 9, 2025

Victor Edwards keeps talking about being oppressed … while he’s busy helping oppress every taxpayer with higher taxes. You can’t make this stuff up.

We keep making excuses and say things are improving, but as the story in Thursday’s Herald points out, there is a growing lawlessness in this community that no one seems to be doing anything about. All the good news platitudes don’t amount to much when this is going on.

We have lost MTG, life is not worth living.

I, for one, am so glad we have a president who cares about the important things in our country. He is indeed making us great again.

Trump and MAGA have destroyed our daddy’s GOP.

The best response to people who insist that the Confederate emblem is “heritage, not hate” is “Nope, it’s a hate symbol. I honor my German heritage by eating sauerkraut and potato salad, not by flying a swastika from the back of a pickup. So shut up and go eat your cornbread.” That Man Without a Family

Heard and his clique spend money like they found a credit card with no limit. Except it’s our card, and we’re the ones stuck with the bill.

Everyone, and I mean everyone, knows that America is aging, led by the baby boomer generation. That means we need an increase in trained medical personnel. Tell me why The Department of Education would declare advanced Nursing degrees are non-professional making it more difficult for students to get aid that lowers loans needed to fund their education? Intentional incompetence or generational selection?

Where are all of the Evangelicals? They have stopped defending the True President.

Emails show that Trump knew about Epstein using under-aged girls for sex parties. He also did spend time in Epstein’s home, on plane rides, and on “Fantasy Island.” The only fantasy here is why the MAGA crowd still believes his lies that he’s not complicit. Release all the Epstein files now.

I look back at what I was exposed to over my lifetime: What is different between my generation and the newer ones is I didn’t have video-games, the music, the violent films, the cuss words accepted as normal, or parents that didn’t parent. So ask yourself: Is it guns or morals and upbringing that are causing these shootings?

Here’s the top of my Christmas wish list this year: a successful impeachment hearing and the arrest of the convicted felon in the White House. Merry Christmas.

The county’s finances under Heard look like a master class in mismanagement. This is what happens when you run government like a bad church revival.
