Letter to editor to cancel Rants column is disappointing. The column is fun and lighthearted. Learn to express yourself in fewer than 26 words.

Keep the TFP Rants anonymous as they are! Even AA affirms the spiritual benefits of assuring such! Without it, people don’t share.

(Letter) was quite correct about Rants and the lack of ownership. I regularly write letters with my name published, so no cowardice here. He is missing the birds-eye view of these vile bigoted people and the idiocy they spew.

So, why is there a new TVA board member from Florida when Florida is not in the TVA service area?

How long will the payback be on the proposed railroads to Atlanta/Nashville? Amtrak rarely breaks even. Can private enterprise make passenger railroads profitable?

Here today, gondola tomorrow. Rock City leadership is brilliant! What a fantastic addition to tourism economy, along with road congestion relief. Well done.

woah, the county’s Planning Commission head is a builder? Sir, know that even the “have-nots” don’t want to live in high-traffic, poor-infrastructure areas.

To RPC Chairman, “not in my neighborhood” has OVERCROWDED SCHOOLS and INADEQUATE infrastructure. How’s your “I’ve got mine neighborhood”?

Ethan Collier trivializing residents concerned about the environment is monumentally tone deaf after a successful bipartisan community effort to save a nature park.

Congratulations to management company taking over Lake Winnie. Could they also take over public works? Driving on our streets is like riding the cannonball.

Rant on 01/12/26: Almost 10 people died as a result of Jan. 6 insurrection. More were severely injured. Renee Good was an unarmed Army veteran murdered on 1/7.

Ashli Babbitt was “attacking” and Renee Good was “fleeing.”

For the MAGA ranter, Pearl Harbor & Jan. 6 were both attacks on the people of the U.S. trying to destroy our democracy. One by foreign power, the second by traitors. The unarmed woman refused to follow orders.

TFP will print ignorant Rants, like the one titled “Love This Country.” The very idea of Republicans “believing in law and order” is cray-cray.

Sheriff Austin Garrett, running for reelection, says a lot about you choosing to work with ICE, turning somebody over for a traffic ticket.

So Dems would rather ICE not do their jobs but instead leave rapists, sodomists, child abusers, drug dealers and illegals in their neighborhoods. Go figure.

Kudos! Residents who spoke against Wamp’s deed swap! Is National Park City ornamental to him? Now we can pave over all that park space? Jackass.

People who vehemently opposed the Enterprise South development to protect the abandoned cemeteries — go take care of and restore the cemeteries.

Sell your soul opportunities: legal observer, paid ICE protestor, liberal media agenda reporter, government daddy family, adhere to TDS, attend top universities, online believers. Easy.

Where are the sign police for all the homemade signs stuck on poles? They are getting more vulgar, caustic, demented.

Erlanger radiologist, UnitedHealthcare denies one out of every three claims. They’re so greedy. Ask Luigi. Not likely to discuss reimbursement rates.

When they brought Maduro to the United States they made him an illegal alien.

By our treatment of immigrants in our country, we as Americans are telling the world what horrible human beings we are.

I watch these people waving pre-made signs and think how shallow they must be, how empty of self worth, how anger drives their lives. Pitiful.

George Will was wrong. I’m colorblind and even I can see that Trump’s Oval Office fake gold accents are as trashy as he is.

Jesus had no wealth. According to sources Charlie Kirk was worth $12 million. Two different people, two different ideologies.
