Opinion Line Extra (Jan. 26)

If you are wearing a Fitbit, check it after an earthquake.


How do most folks like their big premium hikes for health insurance? Lots of people just didn’t have any idea what change really meant. Thank Obamacare, the economy killer.


A force is trying to take out Trump because he is not a typical politician and has changed his mind on issues. A few short years ago, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were against gay marriage, and Clinton voted to go to Iraq. Change is what they did for votes and donations.

It would be nice if the TV stations could put a filter on some of the lady newscasters so that their voices would not be so shrill. Some are so good at giving the news but too shrill to listen to, as it hurts my ears.


Does weather happen outside of the viewing area? What if the news were blocked outside of the viewing area? The local weather forecasters are a joke. They are trying to outdo the competition.

Crude oil stinks like a dirty armpit.


Isn’t everyone just thrilled California got another major sports team?
