Sound Off for July 12, 2016

Faithful

"Mark Trail" cartoonist James Allen has been tempting Mark with some really bodacious babes. Woof! However, we all know Cherry is Mark's cel mate.

Refresh your memory

Reagan could defeat ISIS in 30 days? Reagan cut and ran in 1983 after the Beirut Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon killed 241 U.S. servicemen.

Setting the example

I applaud Judge Not, Inc., the Columbus NAACP, and the other organizations hosting the gun buyback program. Such a shame that state legislators and gun lobbyists don't care about the safety of citizens and police.

No mourning for them?

Where are the protests and outrage against the killing of 5 white police officers? Is there a double standard?

Misguided judgment

The Dallas police are being criticized by some in the media for using a military approach to neutralize a sniper with a military weapon.

Counting his chickens

Bill Clinton's new favorite new song is "By the Time She Gets to Phoenix I'll be Waiting ..." Glen Campbell, we need you now.

Easy answer

Why didn't Hillary elect to testify under oath? Her lawyers didn't want her to commit perjury again. Pretty simple.
