Money’s worth?

Yayyyy, we're number one! America is #1 in the world in spending for healthcare. The flip side is that we are ranked #37 in the world for healthcare services delivered.

Bring it back

I miss the inventive, innocent and non-verbal Lio comic strip. It’s replacement is too cynical … and verbose.

Liberal hypocrisy

How much difference exists between "restricting" and "banning"? Obama restricted travel from those Muslim-majority nations. Trump simply went one step further and temporarily banned it. So why is Trump a racist but not Obama?

Vicious cycle

The poorest states are controlled by Republicans. GOP working-class voters keep electing the same kind of politicians who take and take and take from them. It really makes me wonder what is wrong with these sad people.

Not helping

Frank Myers is a bully engaged in undermining the Muscogee County School Board and the school system. Shame on him.

The whole story

Joy Reed never “bashed” Congressman Scalise. She factually pointed out his voting record and positions after wishing him well in his recovery. If you didn’t hear that, you weren’t watching.

Sincere gratitude

To the person who found my purse near Michael’s and worked to return it to me — my heartfelt thanks.
