A fired NSA chief, failed Obamacare repeal, blocked Muslim ban, seven Mar-a-Lago weekends, alternative facts, Trump/Russia investigations – best start to a presidency ever?

Recent editorial headline: “Liberals can’t demand tolerance, then be intolerant.” Does it follow that: Conservatives can demand tolerance, then be intolerant?

Scenic City should be called Siren City (3 a.m. sirens and horns). Chattanooga should get a siren policy taking advantage of new technology and increased sensitivity to citizens.

HCDE, please send someone to pick up the brush pile on the back side of Alpine Crest that’s been there for six months.

Every morning I see Hamilton County Sheriffs’ cars in Rhea County. Are my tax dollars being spent to protect Rhea County?

Hey Mayor Berke, did you hear the new report about the poor condition of our city streets? Do you get what we need?

Since the city bows to Volkswagen, why can’t it fix the potholes on Hickory Valley Road between Discovery Drive and Bonny Oaks?

President Trump will not release his tax returns for one reason: to get your goat. And he did. Trump wins, you lose. Again.

When Trump lies to us constantly, as in his audit tax excuse lie, he is showing all Americans he has absolutely no respect for us.

Folks, just so you know, being under an IRS audit doesn’t prevent you from releasing your taxes. C’mon. The man is obviously hiding something.

If a Democratic president had refused to show his taxes, Republicans would be going crazy. Trump could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and Republicans wouldn’t care.

I’d much rather see a real birth certificate than a tax return.

Thought I was going to miss Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey circus and along comes Trump and his clowns.

Are the “uniforms” worn by the Berkeley protesters supplied by George Soros?

Hillary blamed everything available for her failure in the election, except Hillary. Hillary 2020?

Lesson: Never bite the hand that feeds you or helps you reach your initial goals. What’s that karma sandwich taste like, former city Councilman Chris Anderson?

Chuck Fleischmann and Bob Corker don’t have to meet with voters. They’ll be voted back in no matter what they do.

Todd Gardenhire hasn’t been a complete failure: He’s had a journalist fired and helped deny insurance to Tennesseans that they already pay for.

To Leonard Pitts, Thomas Friedman and Paul Krugman: Silence is golden, so be wealthy.

June Griffin reminds me of the Taliban – closed minded, religious extremists. No kindness or fairness or respect for history. Their way or the highway.

Movie moral for so-called conservatives: The character who said, “You can’t handle the truth!” didn’t know it either.

To the drug marketers: When you say “sometimes fatal reactions happen” They didn’t just happen – you caused them!

Pharmaceutical industry could lower its costs by half if it weren’t forced to add two worthless pages to every magazine ad. Who reads those, anyway?

TFP Cartoonist Bennett really helps me with decisions. What he’s for, I’m against; and what he is against, I’m for! Simple.

Fox built its network by feeding conservatives what they wanted to hear, true or not. Bill O’Reilly’s demise suggests Fox may want to adjust.
