Opinion Line Extra (Jan. 5)

I suppose I should have paid closer attention to all the buzz regarding the lack of good judgment exercised by the “affluenza teen.” I thought they were talking about Donald Trump.

You would think taking Bill Clinton back to the White House would evoke bad memories for Hillary. That does assume she has a conscience, and I’m guessing that she does not.

There is not a scintilla of doubt that Hillary Clinton will not be the next president. Why? Not only is she the most experienced and the most qualified, but also because Donald Trump will prove to be the greatest mischief maker in U.S. political history.

I’m not sorry. I don’t want a lying, conniving, dishonest grandma for president.

Jeb Bush said he planned to win primaries and then the presidential general election without the Republican Party’s conservative base. He is currently about 5 percent in the polls. How’s that plan working out for you, Jeb baby?

My New Year’s resolution is to consider what’s good for our country before blindly following any political agenda, realizing that most of our representatives are good men and women representing those voters who elected them, namely the rich, and whose agenda may not be what’s best for our country.

President Obama attended a gathering in Paris to eat canapes and chat about global warming in the wake of the horrific Islamic State attack on that city. When he said it constituted a “powerful rebuke” to the terrorists, it made one wonder if he had lost all sense of reality.

With guns being such dangerous toys, please help me understand why any idiot can buy one.

Let columnist Charles Krauthammer be the first into deep space – deep, deep space, where he can forget about President Obama.

If your house sustained damage from a few minor tremors, you need to be mad at your home builder, not the oil industry.

The clueless WSU basketball fans who stand in the middle of the corridors, blocking traffic while they jabber after the game, should move to the side so people can pass.

Pros like Cleanthony Early should get home before midnight if they must go out at all, and keep their gold in a safe deposit box.

If you get an anxiety attack because of weather forecasts, I have a suggestion: Get a life.

If you’re the one who needs the seat down, put the seat down before you sit down. Problem solved.

How come I like finger foods but don’t like the smell of food on my fingers?
