Flag Day, Bennett’s American Dream, TCAP testing and more Rants

It’s Flag Day! Fly Old Glory. Home of the free because of the brave. Freedom of press, to worship, to bear arms. Now defend her.

–––

The editor of the right side of the paper says he’ll take a pass on sweet tea? Are you kidding? Cancel my subscription!

–––

The CTFP’s liberal Ranter selections are trying to convince you that the minority of the people is representative of the majority of the people.

–––

The TFP was quick to point out higher gas prices locally. They’re down over $1 for over a week … crickets. TDS bias again.

–––

Bennett’s cartoon (Times, 6/9) implies the American Dream is gone. I live in an upper-middle-class diverse neighborhood, 80% of residents came from middle or lower class. American Dream is alive and well.

–––

We think people in Africa burning Ebola clinics ignorant, backward. TFP 6/3 article, “Disease and Vaccinations.” We are just as ignorant, backward. DARK AGES COMING!

–––

What would Free Press-side editorial cartoonists do if Joe Biden hadn’t been president? Grover Cleveland could inspire them with topics, too.

–––

1/3 page every Sunday dedicated to bridge. Are you kidding me? I am over 60, when I was a kid the only people who played bridge were old.

–––

What, me worry? St. Elmo residents need not worry about gondola traffic burden. Same brain trust that “fixed” Frazier Avenue has you covered.

–––

Optimism. Look at the bright side. If the gondola happens, at least people on the back side of the mountain will finally have cable.

–––

Tim Kelly and his AI exposure is good to see. Dilettante searching nice boutique hotel rooms in Vegas. He is a fancy-pants liberal.

–––

Thanks to Mayor Kelly, public works, Chattanooga council members, and TFP Ranters! Lower Mill Road has finally been repaved! Well done.

–––

Dear Mayor Kelly, the mockingbirds at Jefferson Park don’t sound like normal. Please grease the bearings on the swings.

–––

BabyWamp Ranter here, not a coward, born and bred Chattanoogan. Will call him trust fund nepo baby to his face. Explain where his money came from.

–––

Wamp’s decrying of partisanship (Free Press, 6/9): Pretty rich coming from the most blatantly partisan county mayor/executive in Hamilton County history.

–––

“Fantastic” opinion by Wamp. I really like how non-divisive he is, insulting Times staff for not thinking grifting is good.

–––

Local Democrats and candidate Mark Herndon posted last week in full support of children transgender rights in our public schools. Republicans better vote in August.

–––

Dems. There’s a pattern to your candidates. Can you not get experienced, non-communist people to run for your party? Only extremists? Apparently not.

–––

TCAP testing prep is a fool’s errand. Learning the answers does nothing to teach kids to think and discover.

–––

There should be statute of limitations that would have protected Guillermina Solano-Chala from deportation. She had lived peacefully and productively in U.S. for 28 years.

–––

Walden, envision a lovely town center as successful an investment as McCoy or Pumpkin Patch, with results from wise, hardworking boards. Buy Totten land now.

–––

Put together one crowd of THC users and then another crowd of alcohol drinkers and see for yourself which group starts viciously fighting each other.

–––

I will pay an extra $0.10 per gallon if the gas pump will stop blasting out unintelligible blabber while I fill up my car.

–––

Someone please tell Gen Z wedding couples that thank-you notes are not a thing of the past. Good manners still matter.

–––

Visit the checkout at local wholesale chains. Everyone’s receipts are hundreds of dollars. Economy is booming despite what liberal naysayers spout. Same ole. Same ole.

–––

An American has such deep gratitude for our freedoms they’re willing to pull the wagon so a few who really need help get to ride.
