Who do you believe? The president is saying we’re going to have a vaccine right away in the next month or so and everyone will be vaccinated by April. The head of the CDC is painting a whole different picture, saying it’ll be the middle of 2021. What the hell are we supposed to believe? Do we believe science and the CDC or the biggest liar on the planet?

Get news from legit sources: I would like to thank The Courier-News for straightening out the caller who called in about George Floyd being on drugs. It’s the first thing they cry when they kill a Black person. That’s the defense. A lot of people listen to the Fox and get false information. Fox News is not a news channel. It’s entertainment, which gives them the right to lie. Listen to ABC, CBS or NBC news. Don’t listen to Fox.

In defense of Trump: I wish people would leave Trump alone. Voting my mail is going to be a total fraud. He didn’t know about this virus it hit the country like a ton of bricks. I just don’t understand. If the Democrats get in, they will tell you how to eat, what to wear and to get rid of your gun.

No one forcing you to help: I don’t like people panhandling myself. But I have to remind myself that all these people panhandling are not out to scam me. There are legitimate people out there who need help. We have all these holy rollers out there who will ridicule these people. I came from a Christian family. I was always taught if I can help someone, especially without hurting myself, help that person or those people. If you don’t want to help these people, just keep walking.

Feed the kids, not everyone: I don’t think many people are against feeding needy children breakfast and lunch in U-46 on the taxpayer’s dime. I am not. But U-46 has 2 million meals for anyone who will pick them up, no (identification) required. Why should taxpayers have to feed (everyone)? This is a good example of why tax increases get voted down.

Thank God for Barr: Attorney General Barr is a godsend to this country. Bless him for trying to quell the violence in our Democratic-led cities. The Demos don’t seem the least bit upset about it.
