The Rant

I guess they don’t need seats at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium. Bought good seats for the Tedeschi Trucks concert and got to stare at people’s backs for two hours.

Congrats to Sale Creek Middle/High School for the highest graduation percentage rate in the Nov. 1 TFP: 98.7%. Smaller community schools are definitely best.

Wishing that all the improved school graduation rates were a result of improved proficiency scores earned by students.

WE HAVE NO organized movement to demand a moratorium on overdevelopment and deforestation while we think about and observe the consequences.

Tennessee American Water Co. rate hike request is so ridiculous. Chattanooga customers need to fight this.

What is it about city managers and small towns? Red Bank and East Ridge and now Signal Mountain.

Election’s over. Now I have to watch my fellow teachers complain about the anti-public school laws passed by far-right legislators they voted for.

Dog-gone shameful. TFP article glamorizing breeding/sale of poodle-doodle dogs ignores crowded shelters and loving animals longing for forever homes.

On what else might the city have spent $246,000? Graphic artists, is this really the going rate?

TFP: You’re fired. I will never again pay for your leftist rag of a newspaper. “Impartial”… my butt.

Cartoonist Clay Bennett should be happy Trump won. Now he has a job for four more years. Otherwise, he’s outta work. Ha ha.

It’s time to move Bennett’s leftist cartoon placement from Section F “Perspective” to Section G “Obituaries.” Enough already.

I’ll buy the city being the friendliest in the U.S. Now, if we could only be the cleanest.

Political signs should be made against the law.

The worst thing about Election Day was listening to reporters talking about the election. Just the facts, please.

Trump was not my candidate. I hope those who picked him will be just as happy a year from now as they are today.

The fact that a candidate will not come out on the eve of election and thank supporters and volunteers says a lot.

I am a sucker and loser (veteran) who didn’t vote for “draft-dodging” Donald Trump.

Democrats need to do some soul-searching. Could it be that they just don’t know voters like they think they do? They should be embarrassed.

I’m so disappointed, disgusted and disillusioned with my fellow Americans who would elect Trump over a decent, smart woman.

Democracy worked! Trump won!

Project 2025 being implemented is a terrible thing to look forward to.

So glad Olan Mills has more than $300,000 to waste on losing Democratic candidates. Hate it for you.

Dade County, Georgia, voting 2024: What the heck? Not allowed to write in candidates other than those on “the approved list.” Bah, humbug.

Boy oh boy … that Georgia voter suppression really worked in early voting. Thanks for the warning, leftists/Dems.

Republicans want smaller government for the same reasons crooks want fewer cops — because it is a lot easier to get away with murder.

“Pro life” would mean the Sandy Hook School shooting victims (20 kids) starting college this fall.
