As a citizen\u00a0<\/strong>of a representative republic, it is your right and your duty to vote. Election Day is May 5.
Got a belly laugh:\u00a0<\/strong>Ranter complaining schoolgirls all want long, straight hair parted in middle. Grumps said same thing about us boomers in 60s\/70s. What comes around …
The Soddy-Daisy<\/strong> letter writer who thinks 75% of people agree with his political views, while Trump is at 32% approval, may want to turn off Fox.
Clint [Cooper]’s\u00a0<\/strong>take on the GOP ScareCard (4\/28) is spot on. But my wife and I got mailers \u2014 we have never voted for a Republican, especially in a primary.
The Republican Party\u00a0<\/strong>mailer got flushed down the toilet, actually where it belongs.
Thanks to the people\u00a0<\/strong>who had the vision for getting the Erlanger Park project approved and built. This place is a jewel for Chattanooga.
It is so crazy<\/strong> to spend all that money on a stadium. It should have been privately funded.
So Mayor Wamp<\/strong> or Kelly, will Tesla versus Waymo be invited to Chattanooga to meet Tennessee Automated Vehicle Act of 2017?
Watching the nasty<\/strong> TV ads from Burt Jones and Rick Jackson has convinced me that neither guy deserves my vote.
We should lose\u00a0<\/strong>National Park (City) status after 100 acres of woods razed for another development off Highway 153. Time to take back our city from greedy developers.
Guess Jerri Green<\/strong> would advocate for Playboy, Playgirl, Penthouse and Hustler in school and public libraries (based on her Times, not Free Press, editorial 4\/27).
As governor<\/strong>, Democrat Jerri Green wants cannabis legalized in Tennessee so that we can hook more kids and adults with this addictive drug.
Thank God<\/strong> our President Trump was not assassinated. America needs President Trump.
Attempted assassin<\/strong> was a former teacher of the month. No wonder parents want to homeschool their kids.
Another typical<\/strong> far-left reporter, John Crisp, blaming America for Iran crisis (4\/29). He did not mention Iranians chanting “Death to America” since 1947. Hard to negotiate.
Will you companies<\/strong> enhance your computer systems so you’re not easily hacked. I’m so tired of getting notices that my info is out there, again.
Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky<\/strong>, Mississippi and West Virginia residents live the shortest lives nationwide. Republicans in response voted more poison into our air and water.
Until you’ve completed<\/strong> a mission trip to a Third World country, I’m not at all interested in your complaints, protests, signs. Expand your bubble.
Tennessee retirees<\/strong> pay very little state tax used for vouchers since Hall tax eliminated. Vouchers give same amount to all. Supply and demand the best.
Wealthy families<\/strong> pay the most taxes. Vouchers are income redistribution. The poor and middle class better take it and run. Everyone gets better education. Bingo.
Every single one<\/strong> of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.
Here are some<\/strong> of America’s greatest comedy teams: Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, Bert and Ernie, Kushner and Witkoff, Hegseth and Patel!
Is there really<\/strong> a difference between the billionaires building a private-use ballroom on your dollar and venture capitalists stealing the hospitals we built?
This is a threat<\/strong>, but not of violence. 86 Marsha, 86 Chuck, 86 Bo, 86 Wamp \u2014 86 corrupt politicians.
Well, RINOs\u00a0<\/strong>with local CHA airport authority control, please don’t just appoint to new airport authority board a bunch of political hacks or big donors.
Hey Republicans<\/strong>, the small-government GOP just took over all major local airports that we local people paid for. Every one of our GOP politicians voted for it.
Marjorie Taylor Greene<\/strong> has made it clear that Donald Trump was forcing Pam Bondi to not release the dirty details about him and Jeffrey Epstein.
