Oxymoron personified is Sarah Palin talking about “the wisdom of the people.”

Let’s just leave our country’s flag at half-mast. There is a national tragedy every day.

No state felt the need for potty policy before the gay marriage decision; these amount to a temper tantrum with no thought for consequences.

Pope Paul takes 12 refugees to Rome. If every church in America (and other countries) brought one family the crisis is over. Same for homeless.

Curious that the Saudis are so opposed to legislation enabling victims of 911 to pursue litigation against the terrorists’ home countries. Frenemies?

Thank you, TFP, for your article about Cruz’s defense of the Texas ban on sex toys and on the opposing page the Saudi’s curb the religious police.

Of course, the Donald thinks it’s all about him, but the Republican delegate rules were in place before he ever started his presidential campaign.

This could be the year of a third national party. This could be the year of the Libertarian Party.

The gang violence is out of control. Get involved, folks. It will take all of us to fix this.

What will Trump, if president, do when a country doesn’t follow the rules, like the Geneva Convention? Complain? Call them names?

The root word of ignorance is ignore. Knowing that, how can you not think of Trump supporters when you hear the word?

Our infrastructure is crumbling, interstates are a nightmare. But, hey, our Republican legislature has God, guns and gays covered.

What a great country! You can come here illegally and have illegal children and get paid for it. Taxpayers are happy to pay for it.

Given the rash of shootings in the black community, when will the “Black Lives Matter” folks arrive?

How embarrassing that we pay politicians to try to make the state book the Bible and also decide on a state gun? Stupid.

Bible as the state book: So many versions, and very arrogant of our state government.

The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God.

Head of failed Chattanooga VRI leaves to take position with New York creator of VRI. Success story?

Why risk police lives by sending them to gang killings? Let the the bad guys kill each other and good riddance.

All blow and no show. Why aren’t the people who bully others arrested and jailed?

It used to be called “states’ rights.” Now it’s called “religious freedom.”

You think that new speed limit signs are going to slow people down? Speed hump on our street didn’t do any good. Enforcement is the answer.

The speed is the limit – not the minimum. Slow it down and stop accidents.

Finally a super Wal-Mart on Highway 58. Looks like those sidewalks will pay off, especially for homeowners who are not the forgotten stepchildren any more.

Another shoe repair shop is desperately needed in the Hixson area. Our shop is so busy it takes two weeks to get heel taps on shoes.

Hearing aid business: Must be making super profits to afford full-page color ads every week, if not daily!

Please take all the ugly wreaths off your front door – Christmas is over.

If you can read this, share the priceless gift of literacy with someone. You’ll enrich that person.

Use the Bible as your guide, not as another paragraph in the Tennessee Blue Book.
