I’ve written a few rants to the Chattanooga Times Free Press because I love America and I cannot tolerate what’s happening under Donald John Trump.

______

The Dutch and Scots’ soccer fans make one of the Fs in FIFA stand for FUN. Such great fans!

Republicans just blew $126 million putting on a poor imitation of Nightfall on the National Mall.

______

They say: Hate Trump? Move to another country! I say: People hate Trump because of what he’s doing to the country we love.

______

Some, like Mayor Kelly, contend racism and religious bigotry no longer exist in Brainerd/Chattanooga. That’s apparently why he disbanded Mayor Berke’s Council Against Hate.

______

Deeply conservative, deeply church-connected Michele Reneau, would a kind and loving Jesus defy diversity, equity and inclusion? Don’t think so.

______

Get rid of Cake (Perspective 6/21). We don’t need a Ron Hart wannabe who thinks he’s funny but is really stupid.

______

Require all who want to run for office, first run a profitable lemonade stand for one month! And take a finance course.

______

With 831 billionaires and record corporate profits, common sense indicates we’re not becoming socialist or communist. But the rich should feed the cow they’re milking.

______

If you really want to be virtuous, go without air conditioning like most of Europe. It’s sweltering but they’re virtuous. And dying for their cause.

______

The federal government is investigating whether high school students in North Carolina used the wrong bathrooms? My God. Hey Republicans, are you totally insane now?

______

You can know for certain that this is not a Christian nation when the “Christians” submit loyalty to an immoral leader.
