Sound Off

Sound Off for November 29, 2016

Lighten up

I enjoy Sound Off as much as the next person, but seriously --- it’s over; it’s the Holiday Season; everybody chill and get back to creative, pithy and the rare, but appreciated, humorous posts, please.

Selective

"Sanctuary cities" are no different than cities that would refuse to enforce any other federal laws, such as civil rights or OSHA rules. If a city violated those laws, Obama would cut off federal funds.

Leadership

Dennis Kucinich should be the head of the Democratic Party. His mantra of "Peace and Economic Prosperity" should become our pledge of allegiance.

Break it gently

When a Southern woman says "Bless your heart" she really means "You're such a moron, Sweetie."

Tube time

I never would have dreamed that in my lifetime we would have a President elected by Rosanne Barr and the Duck Dynasty boys.

Oh, we’ll pay

Donald Trump has settled three lawsuits and has 72 more pending. I hope he doesn't learn from Sheriff Darr and get the taxpayers to pay his legal fees.

Follow the money

Wonder why Donald condemns Fidel Castro as a "ruthless dictator" while praising another dictator, Vladimir Putin. Maybe he has no business investments in Cuba.
