The Rant

We now refer to Frazier Avenue as something more accurate: Crazier Avenue.

Before issuing a building permit for new apartments in Chattanooga, have the builder commit to helping the homeless.

Most charge their EVs at night using excess electricity, some of which would otherwise go to waste.

State Rep.-elect Michele Reneau owes it to us to say which parts of Robert F. Kennedy’s views she supports and which she doesn’t. Scary times ahead?

I ordered my license online. I did not receive it, so I had to go get it. I still was charged $2 shipping and $1 processing. This is a rip-off.

The BlueCross Bowl once again showcases the dilapidated tower next door. Come on, mayor: Tear it down or cover it up!

Mayor Wamp, taxpayers want our $200,000+ back that was wasted in trying to fire the county attorney, who has a legally binding employment contract.

Button-up buttercups. Vapidly crying “hate” when you disagree with Ron Hart’s brilliant humor doesn’t work. It’s so 2016. Humor embodies truths. Think, self-reflect, adjust.

I remember when Christian men would not be seen drinking and praising misogyny, racism and bigotry in public. Now it’s on the TFP front page.

Thanks for the Merry & Mighty article. Slovenly men drinking alcohol, smoking cigars and labeling themselves as “righteous.” Hysterical!

Who’s in charge? Where’s Joe? Where’s Kamala? Be honest now … don’t things run better without them around than with them?

Headline: “Trump plans to end diversity, equity and inclusion programs in his first week.” And his cult celebrates, especially churchgoers in our region.

Is Trump going to light the White House Christmas tree this year? Might as well. No one is home there.

It’s against the law to yell fire when there is no fire. Should be the same for yelling racism for everything. So obviously an entitlement scheme.

Is there no bounds to the ego of some Hamilton County commissioners when they don’t get their way?

After Republicans screamed about DOJ weaponizations, Trump promised to do it on day one against those who wouldn’t accept his election lie.

When you remodel a house, you don’t burn it down first; you keep what is useful and change what is not. Same for government.

Mr. Biden: Like father like son. The apple fell right by the tree!

Morality is no longer a consideration in Republican politics.

On Jan. 20, 2025, Putin will open a satellite office at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

No one is above the law, except Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Alvin Bragg, Fanni Willis, Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton.

There is a significant difference between intelligence (often the product of abstract reasoning) and wisdom (the product of hard-won, often bitter experience).
