cials going to Mexico with the intent of messing up their jus- tice system? (If that's possible) It remains that this election was won fair and square and the people that voted for Trump aren't as loud or destructive as the looney left but simply appre- ciate policies that don't just give away the country. Boy, I wish all these Hollywood types would move to Mexico like they threat- ened.


Reagan supported


securing the border In response to the comment


about Ronald Reagan support- ing immigration: The Immigration Reform


Control Act was a deal with the Democrats in exchange for amnesty. It was going to pro- vide the funding and resources to secure the border. Reagan held up his end but the Democrats evidently did not. The border is still unsecure. It’s unfair simply because back then the Democrats did not hold up their end of the bargain. He was not against immigration but he was for securing the border. It was a double sided coin.


Donʼt understand the rea-


son for my high gas bill I am really ticked off with


my January Piedmont gas bill. In January I used 1 therm less of gas than in December but my bill went up $33.86. Does this make sense to anyone out there? I understand that in cold months the bill is going to be higher but I don't understand being charged 25 percent more for using less. What if I went to the store and bought a half gallon of milk but the store charged me for that plus a quart? I would go somewhere else to get my milk. Unfortu- nately, Piedmont is the only store in town!!! If you are as ticked off as I am call the Tennessee Regulatory Authority at 615-770-6870 and voice your frustration. Better yet, go to www.tn.gov/tra and click on “file a complaint” at the top of the page. Maybe if enough com- plaints are filed we will get choices or at least service that makes an ounce of sense.


Drive like your child

of new “it” neighborhoods and the houses inside these areas love to put “Drive like (blank)” signs in their yards. We also have an invasion of very strange little green plastic

“children crossing” signs that are shaped like people and stand at the side of the road with flags beside them. What is going on? Would side-walks help get rid of these signs? If so, that’s reason enough to add sidewalks everywhere.


First lady is a first


immigrant Congratulations to Trump’s


first lady. She is probably the first first lady who was at one time an immigrant.


Not fit to shine Judge


Robart's shoes Recently the president had the audacity to demean federal judge James Robart by calling him a "so-called judge." Just a few of Robart's accomplish- ments include a law degree from Georgetown Law School, working free for Asian refugees, being president of the Seattle Children's Home, which han- dles mental health needs for children. In short, President Trump, with his vast experi- ence as a real estate salesman and game show host is not fit to shine Judge Robart's shoes. Trump likes to use the words "fake," as in "fake news" and "phony," as in the "phony out- rage" of those who demon- strate against his policies. If "so-called" president Trump wants to see the real definition of the words "fake" and phony" all he has to do is to look in the mirror.


Wages donʼt agree with


cost of living I would like to make a com- ment on the high cost of living right now. I went to Walmart in Hermitage and bought a half gallon of milk, coffee, a bag of grapes, a bag of tangerines, and a box of blueberry waffles. The cost for everything was $31 for all those items.


Just think


about the cost of living with how everything has gone up and things that have changed. People who only make $7 an


hour have to work one hour to buy one bag of grapes or work nearly one hour for one bag of tangerines. Things have really changed. The very first job I ever had, I made .75 cents an hour and I cleared $29 per week. We were a poor family and I gave my mom $15 to help her out. That is how we came up and how we were raised. People worked hard for all their life, they at least could look forward to having Social Security and Medicare but something really needs to be done to make sure Social Security doesn’t stop or run out. I know a lot of people with Social Security and Medicare being all they have. It does cost a lot to get even medi- cine, $500 - $600 every time you go. I use to fill my gas tank up


for $3 when gas was .25 cents a gallon. Look at it now: it costs $45 - $50 to completely fill up. So, somewhere down the line this is going to have to come to a stop and worked out or the country is going to be totally broke.

Sore Losers cartoon I am tick off about the car- toon in your February 9 paper that ridicules anti-Trump pro- testers for being “sore losers”. Anyone who is active in politics for a number of years is going to have some disappointments. We did not vote for Mr. Trump,


and will continue to oppose him, but it isn’t because we’re sore losers. No, our objection to this man, who sits in the seat of Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, is that he isn’t even a decent human being.


His generation put a man on the moon.
