Sound Off for July 18, 2017

One of a kind

Jimmy Carter: undoubtedly the greatest ex-President America has ever known.

An improvement

To the statement, Trump is "... a foul-mouthed multiple adulterer, three-time married who never goes to church." I counter: Obama was a colossal liar, a rank amateur, and the most unqualified person ever elected.

A home run

Leonard Pitts hit the ball right out of the ballpark in his Sunday column. Everyone should read it — even his detractors.

A whiff

Pitts Jr., the question should not be what's wrong with us, but what's wrong with you? But anyone who reads your gibberish already knows the answer to that.

The whole story

If the Ralston were a Trump property we might get more extensive journalistic coverage of the situation here. The public has a right to know more.

By another name

"Russian oligarchs," fabulously wealthy thugs who have profited from Kremlin dealings, aren't much different from American oligarchs. The only difference is that here, voters and the Republican Party have enabled them to become so powerful.

Why on our tab?

If someone can afford to purchase an oceanfront home, why should the taxpayer help pay for their flood insurance?
