Opinion Line (May 4)

If Donald Trump is accusing Hillary Clinton of playing the woman’s card in her campaign, it is only reasonable to say that Trump is playing the jerk card in his.

Trump says, “If Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she’d get 5 percent of the vote.” If Donald Trump were a man, he would not feel the need to mock, disparage, impugn and denigrate his opponents, women, Hispanics, the press, our allies, immigrants, Muslims nor anyone else.

If Hillary or Bernie is elected, I am going to move to Arizona and put myself under the protection of Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Virginia’s Democrat governor has made it legal for convicted felons to vote. They are thinking ahead. If Hillary wins, she can still at least be close to the White House.

So the Russians continue to taunt us in the air and on the sea, and our useless “leader” does nothing – again. Blow one of those Russkies out of the sky and send a clear message.

The Democratic Party was created in 1828 through a faction led by Andrew Jackson. The “Democratic Party” was officially named that at the 1844 convention. The idiots who call it the “Democrat Party” only reveal their own ignorance and lack of respect for our freedoms and democratic process.

So there are some in the VA health system who intentionally put in the wrong codes to delay the ability of vets to appeal for health care. Why were the VA employees who did this not immediately fired?

That’s nice to collect turnpike fees that are overdue (April 28 Eagle). Who has the courage to give property owners six months to pay property taxes, or we sell their properties for overdue taxes?

It figures a Democrat would oppose punishment for people who run through turnpike tollbooths. Another example of Democrats standing behind the bad guys.

You know we’ve received a fair amount of rain when you can no longer see the bottom of the river in the usual places.

To whoever had the party in Riverside Park on Saturday and left an inflatable kids’ pool full of plastic balls and 25 empty Silly String cans in the grass: Whom do you expect to clean up your mess? Nice example for the kids, too.
