Your pitiful left
Each year my wife and I come to Beaufort to visit family. We stay in local hotels, eat in local restaurants, shop and visit the sites. I always pick up one of your newspapers, … though they are packed with the Socialist Drool of so called “journalists” defending the most corrupt and outright evil administration in my 71-year lifetime.
Today, I grabbed one though my wife said “it’s just going to irritate you.” Well, it was the very same far-left crap as usual. But this time I enjoyed their whining.
Murderous, bloodthirsty gangsters and killers are being shipped out of our country. The unprotected border is being secured. The insanity of male athletes destroying women’s sports is being reversed, and most importantly, our nearly destroyed military is being cleansed of “Woke” madness.
God Fearing Democrats and numerous other voter groups had Enough! The DOGE is eliminating the insanest spending imaginable! Thank God.

WE should thank Ukraine
As Republican journalist David Brooks said of the recent Oval Office meeting between Presidents Trump and Zelensky, I also felt moral shame for our country, the country that I dearly love.
President Zelensky has shown gratitude to the United States numerous times for our military assistance, including during an address to Congress soon after the Russian invasion. But here’s the point. Rather than insisting that he approach us on bended knee, WE should thank the Ukrainian men and women who are fighting and dying for freedom and democracy, values that our country previously always stood ready to defend.
Time to let our Senators Graham and Scott and Representative Mace know that this is not what we expected when we elected President Trump. We must support democratic institutions here and abroad.

‘Making America the skunk of the world’
Elon Musk jokingly wielding a chainsaw at CPAC, while indiscriminately firing thousands of government workers is no laughing matter.
President Donald Trump and Elon Musk appear to be a tag-team duo of callousness, self-dealing, amorality, and misinformation.
In his first term, Trump delivered the largest tax cut in U.S. history to the super wealthy and corporations, exploding the federal deficit in the process. If approved, Trump’s current Project 2025-inspired tax cuts are expected to add another $7 trillion to the national debt.
The thousands of workers they fired can no longer contribute to their state retirement systems, or to Social Security via FICA, which will have a trickle-down effect.
To my fellow Americans who voted for Trump, one of my favorite TV shows, Sanford & Son, comes to mind. After Lamont (Demond Wilson) is conned by another junk dealer, Fred (Redd Fox) tells him, “Son, you’ve been had. Bad.”
When South Africa finally dismantled its apartheid system, Nelson Mandela said, “No longer will we be the skunk of the world.”
Musk and Trump are making America the skunk of the world.

‘Utterly disgraceful’
I’m amazed and frustrated that the current administration is siding with Russia against Ukraine. I am also disappointed with Senator Graham for supporting the administration behavior in the Oval Office. The Administration obviously set it up as an ambush.
How a president of a democracy can support a dictator is utterly disgraceful.
