The Rant

Well done, Alabama.

When will people grow up and debate the issues maturely and stop taking cheap shots at the opposition. I am sick of the rude attacks.

Think you are scared now? Read “American War” by Omar El Akkad and you will be terrified. What has happened to us?

Since Magna Carta, (1215), Anglo-American law holds that no one is above the law. To say a president cannot obstruct justice reeks of tyranny.

Didn’t know history only went back eight years. Have Republicans blaming Obama for increasing the deficit forgotten George W. Bush?

Giving the wealthy a tax break is obscene.

Creatures that are full but gorge themselves with more, are called pigs. If the tax bill passes, they’ll be called Republican pigs.

I live in Soddy-Daisy. I wish people would stop littering, like trash on the side of the road. Please use garbage cans.

The shaking and bouncing on pothole-filled Mountain View Road helped me pass a very large kidney stone.

Do the football Vols really need advice from the owner of the lowly Cleveland Browns?

A week ago, a local [weather broadcaster] stated that the dew point was far too low to allow snow. Two hours later – you guessed it!

What a wonderful gift by Dr. Scotchie and Dr. Murray. Paying it forward is my Christmas blessing. Try it.

Wonder what the promised consolation prize is for Andy Berke for staying out of the Senate race in favor of Phil Bredesen? The whispers have begun.

Which Alabama Republican will be the Cotton State’s new senator after the election of November 2020? It’s not likely to be Doug Jones, after all.

Hamilton County Court Clerk Vince Dean was among those griping about city retirees’ health insurance. Must be nice to choose benefits from Chattanooga, East Ridge, the county or the state.

A Signal Mountain resident was quoted saying an independent school district will limit her school choice. How? She can send her kids to any private school or move to any zoned public district.

Headline in TFP: “Poverty in Chattanooga drops to 10-year low.” Unemployment at near record low levels. Thanks, Mr. Trump. Good riddance, Chattanooga Organized For Action!
