The Rant

Suspended animation: While smart political TFP cartoons draw copious reader comments, intelligently written editorials attract crickets. Cartoon-size attention spans.

White wine spritzers aplenty. Another public forum to inveigle state policy makers into minimizing mental health in favor of mediocre tourism draw near sewage plant.

I guess those who are against rebuilding the mental hospital at its current location on Moccasin Bend would welcome it in their neighborhood? Nay ... bet not!

Don't love unions or drama. Governor suggesting Volkswagen workers risking futures with UAW ignores: Tennessee and VW joined at hip by $870 million the state gifted VW.

How many people opposed to the UAW actually have worked for an employer where a union was present? Let's hear from them.

Odd that "a look at what didn't happen last week" always reinforces the left's narrative. #TFPbeSoLeft

Re: TFP article about all the foreign companies in Tennessee. Please understand economics; if VW votes union, that ends. Very selfish, short-term thinking.

Red-light-running-repeat-offenders. Lee Highway intersection with Sam's Club. Customers exiting parking lot; red light recidivism off the chart. Costco customers have manners.

Cumberland, Maryland, had a huge tire plant. Employed 4,000. They voted for a union. Go to Cumberland. Try to find the plant.

I'll tell you what to do. Tear down Engel Stadium and move Moccasin Bend mental health hospital there. It will be next to the health care corridor. Add casinos at Moccasin Bend.

Our mayor and governor continue squawking about unions. Sounds like they are lobbying for corporations intent on minimizing costs. Reverse leadership abounds, don't you think?

Republicans passed a bill that requires schools K-12 to show a video on fetal development pushed by the anti pro-choice bullies. Indoctrination.

Since men have virtually no final choice in deciding whether their pregnant partner has an abortion, why not let only women decide by national referendum the abortion controversy?

Don't let Joe talk you into buying an EV. Not worth it.

How are the long-pursued and hard-earned advancements in women's and girls' sports maintained and furthered by permitting gender-altered males to participate?

Why should I pay for your loan of any type? Seriously, live up to your obligations of every type. Grow up. Be accountable. Have grit.

I wish all TV stations would tell the on-air talent how to pronounce "LaFayette" and "McCallie."

Ranter suggests immigrants to America learn English, pay taxes, follow laws. Charity begins at home. I wish knuckleheads born and raised here would follow rules.

If Donald Trump wins, the next election in 2028 will have only one candidate, Donald Trump. Look at Russia's election.

Anyone who cheers for Jan. 6 rioters, who tore apart our Capitol and threatened to hang Vice President Mike Pence, are traitors.

Doctors and hospitals, like CHI Memorial, always want more money. What are they doing to actually reduce the cost of health care and still have the best outcomes?

Hey Chuck, let's rename Virginia's airport "Jeffrey Epstein International Airport." Same difference!

"Try to learn something new everyday." "Why, Dad?" I inquired. "So you're not as stupid tomorrow as you were today!"

Within 1.5 years, 80+% of PPP loans were forgiven. In 66 years, fewer than 1% of student loan debt has been forgiven. Nobody asked how we'd pay for business loan forgiveness.

Unions are the only reason we have weekends, why workdays aren't 12 hours long, and why young children aren't forced to work. Unions work.

If you find yourself explaining the benefits of forcing a terrified 10-year-old girl to give birth to her rapist's baby, you are on the wrong side.

Trump selling bibles enables churches to funnel money to him without violating the U.S. ban on political campaigning by churches. AKA: money laundering.
