Donald Trump, James Comey, excuses and timing

It is true that “we hear what we want to hear.” Therefore, I understand why Marlene Drozd stated what she did in her recent letter about Donald Trump and James Comey.

However, she misses the point. As an unbiased observer, I don’t care one way or another that Mr. Comey was fired. But it is the timing, the excuses, the various “spin” stories associated with the president’s action. Can we really believe what we are told? Ms. Drozd’s comment about “obstruction of the government by the Democrats” is a strong statement considering what the Republicans did during the past administration.

Let’s face it: This administration is bent on undoing anything of value that had been accomplished previously. Read the newspaper — including all the “little articles.” Just recently, I saw that the “healthier” school lunch regulations are being discarded. Why? Do we not care about the well being of our (mostly overweight) children?

THE LATEST
LETTER: Biden confused over inflation.

All this mismanagement has resulted in the national debt rising at a very alarming rate.

LETTER: Still after the Jan. 6 protesters

So more than three years after the riot, the government is still using taxpayer money and manpower in its vendetta to ferret out Donald Trump supporters.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

LETTER: No need for an SOS on Social Security

The functional reality is that members of Congress need to keep Social Security alive or they will be voted out of office.
