Political games in Washington

 

What infuriates conservatives (notice I didn’t say Republicans) is that truth and facts have fallen victim to political games and propaganda to entice low-information voters. This administration hasn’t passed a budget, as required by law, in four years and the president has the nerve to lecture us on the need to pay our fair share? This is pure arrogance and soft tyranny at its finest.

Millions are confused. Is he incompetent or does his ideology trump sound governance for the sake of transformation?

Either way, we have a right to know what this transformation will result in since our grandchildren’s’ grandchildren will be paying for it.

    Juneteenth — a celebration of freedom

    Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day, is the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, the Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas with the news that the war had ended and freed all remaining slaves. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation — which had become official on Jan. 1, 1863.

  • Bees not news

    Re the June 16 story Miami couple saddened after bee hive destroyed: It must have been a slow news day for the Miami Herald. This article took up two-thirds of a page in the newspaper’s local section.

  • Bees could be saved

    An experienced bee keeper could have moved the beehive to a less troublesome location; perhaps on the couple’s property where they could continue to enjoy the bees and the bees could continue to do their good work.
