Some Personal Gripes

Posted

1) Media: Stop using “BBB” in quotes. Say what it is — the worst budget ever. Thanks to John Young and Lindsay Kashgarian for calling it a horrible, very bad, debt-increasing bill and a big bad bill.

2) Who really believes that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself? He was executed. Too many high-ranked people enjoyed his parties, whether they had sex with kids or not. Have we seen the files yet?

3) Cuba is a stone’s throw from Florida. We should be on friendly terms. We’re friendly with many nations that have worse conditions than Cuba. They have oil or other resources which Cuba lacks.

4) We’re now a plutocracy. Business with government support has, to some extent, always ruled our nation — right from the start. Now it’s out of control and thoroughly unethical. Its leader, with the help of a once respected Supreme Court, has become king and is totally unaccountable for any of his actions.

We must work to improve our ailing republic and get it back from the plutocrats.
