Thanks to all first responders who helped with last week’s flooding; videos and photos and stories are amazing. If you can, donate to Red Cross; help a neighbor!
Jewel in Chattanooga’s crown: WSMC. Try it, especially the Piano Puzzler Wednesday mornings. Listen via radio, phone, computer. WSMC is non-political, receives no public funding.
What is the Tennessee lottery doing for education when I have to support a teacher friend’s elementary classes to maintain barely adequate supplies? Teachers are underfunded.
Does it make sense that Tennessee students from financially secure families will be eligible to receive private school vouchers?
RIP, Judge Walter Williams: To a speeder, “You were flying and just happened to land on 153.”
Ron Hart won the Ben Franklin Award for humor, was hired at Goldman Sachs and does stand-up comedy. So the not funny/idiot attack ain’t working.
Mayor Wamp and Mayor Kelly: Nice picture on the Metro front, so now please do something for the homeless.
Hey, newcomers and old rednecks: If you can’t keep your big truck or SUV in your lane, you shouldn’t be driving it. I don’t care who’s president, the rules of the road still apply.
Bring back red light cameras. Chattanoogans must be either color-blind (they can’t see yellow or red), or they don’t know what they mean.
Yo, black F-150 with New York plates jamming yourself ahead of others at the foot of Signal Mountain last Sunday: You’re in Tennessee now, son. Fuhhhhgedabout it, Vinny.
The National Park Service is derelict by not removing hundreds of hazardous trees in Chickamauga Battlefield. Safety, please. Action needs to be taken now.
Mr. Mayor, please explain why Wilder Road, a dead-end road off of Grubb Road in Hixson, was paved and not Grubb and Lower Mill? Ridiculous.
Surprisingly, a right-wing friend admitted he prefers MAGA propaganda to truth. He actually canceled the newspaper for printing verified facts.
If you want to lose control of Tennessee, vote for Blackburn next year.
Town halls, anyone?
On his first day in office, Trump pardoned and released hundreds of violent criminals from the D.C. jail. Now we’re to believe he’s concerned about crime in D.C.?
Democrats are saying the worst crime in Washington, D.C., was Jan. 6 when Trump supporters killed zeros of people.
Trump’s takeover of our cities is to quash protests and civil unrest. Fellow Americans, we are no longer living in a democracy.
Isn’t it funny that most everything Dems have done becomes treasonous and illegal when Republicans do the same? Good for me, not for thee. Textbook hypocrites.
If a presidential administration ignores rulings by federal judges on a continuing basis, then it’s obvious that laws are meaningless. This is not democracy.
A ranter claims that Democrats today are bullies? Au contraire … Nothing epitomizes bullying like today’s Trump-led GOP. Media, academia, law firms are all targets.
Calling Democrats bullies is rich. A classic case of projection.
I have a high IQ and strong work ethic, too, but I believe a convicted felon should be in prison, not the White House.
Climate change deniers: Check out daily highs/lows. High temps are about the same as normal. Low temps are most always higher than the normal lows.
The U.S. must halt the sale of military-grade guns to the public. Mass shootings in schools, churches and offices are horrifying. We can do better.
Satan’s best work was convincing Christians that a vulgar, ignorant, greedy, racist sexual predator who lies constantly and enjoys inciting violence was sent by God.
FACT: Adolf Hitler and the Nazi fascists repeatedly fabricated crime numbers to justify taking over policing powers, centralizing control and dismantling safeguards. Sound familiar?
The first step in making society better is caring about things that don’t impact you directly.
