Trump ‘is a waste of
perfectly good oxygen’
I yield to none in my contempt for Donald Trump. I would vote for a three-headed goat if Trump were the alternative.
He is a waste of perfectly good oxygen, and I have no respect for anyone who thinks he’s worthy of public office. In all my 85 years, I have never seen a worse human being nominated by a major party in the United States.
But the answer to his candidacy is not violence! It is the ballot box.
The United States is the only nation in the world founded on a political principle, rather than on geography or ethnicity. That principle is that the people choose their rulers by a free, fair and universal vote. We will have that vote next November.
I hope and pray that Joe Biden (or Kamala Harris, or even Robert Kennedy Jr. or a three-headed goat) will beat out Trump. But if he wins, it is my obligation as an American to accept the result.
There is no situation in which violence is an acceptable substitute for democracy.

Will wear MAGA
hat with pride
I am a Donald Trump supporter!
I have a MAGA hat. I have been uncomfortable wearing it in public because it so “triggers” Americans from the left.
Well, I’m wearing it from now on.
I’m entitled to my opinion. I have never called Joe Biden Hitler. I simply believe Trump had a better presidency than Biden.
The border was better, we were energy-independent, no wars, less crime, no inflation — a president I am proud to support.
If you support Trump and you have a MAGA hat, join me. Wear it proudly. You have the right!

Island roadways
need better lighting
Driving at night is very difficult due to the lack of street and highway lights.
When you add rain to the equation, it can be quite scary. People walking or biking on the roadways are a hazard that we cannot foresee.
I have come close to hitting people who choose to wear dark clothing at night and are in or close to the road.
We really need to have well-lit areas on all roads to prevent disasters from occurring.

Pollution vs. need
for air-conditioning
It seems like everything and everywhere we turn to today, there is a problem and a price tag.
Who knew that using air-conditioning in your car or office or home would put out more small molecules of “forever chemicals”?
This is really depressing, because the increase in heat waves will increase the use of these machines and increase spewing out the already shocking amount of TFA (trifluoroacetic acid) in the water, rain and in our bodies.
I had hope that getting funding for air-conditioners for at-risk seniors and children would be a solution, but now I see it will only add to the problem.
Why did they teach me how to read so I could be endlessly upset?
