Sound Off for July 9, 2017

Seek at your own risk

The GPS location-based social app "You Missed a Match!" helps the lonely find love, but it's also known as "You Missed a Victim!" "You Dodged a Creep!" and "Hey! I'm Over Here, Serial Killers!"

Lighten up, lefties

Trump altered an old pro wrestling promo video where he "attacked" Vince McMahon by adding CNN's logo, and it's hilarious. Liberals have no sense of humor.

Sorry ... not buying it

Since the Republican Congress cannot get any bills passed at this time to make their rich friends richer, they're opening their hearts to our veterans. Hypocrites.

Patriotic fervor lacking

Very disappointed there were no American flags in the medians between 13th street and 9th street on July 4th, and no flags on any of the stores. Not good.

Oops

Grammar rules aren't as strict as they used to be, but "a person had went into the Chattahoochee River" on the front page … that's embarrassing.

Hardly surprising

In their campaign program for the German election, Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives have dropped the term "friend" in describing their relationship with the U.S. Who can blame them?

Damning with faint praise?

I enjoy all of the newspaper ads each day and the occasional news stories are interesting, too.

Protecting the Hooch

Congratulations to Henry Jackson of Chattahoochee RiverWarden. He is doing an excellent job and is a courageous man. Keep up the good work.
