Dec. 7 Sound Off was typical. Seven letters, five from Democrats belly aching about Trump and his supporters. Same old garbage. All they have left is sour grapes. Maybe you should realize that your party stinks. That’s why you lost.

Governor DeWine gets to appoint someone to fill JD Vance’s US Senate seat. He said he wants to choose someone who knows Ohio. Here’s a thought: why not appoint Sherrod Brown? Nearly 5 and a half million people voted and Senator Brown lost by 200,000 to car salesman Bernie Moreno. Millions of Ohioans wanted Sherrod Brown. He knows Ohio. DeWine doesn’t have to worry about any more election campaigns. He’ll retire after decades of politics to a nice life filled with family and maybe a university president slot. Ohio needs Sherrod Brown in the Senate.

How is it that Black Friday and Cyber Monday both broke records for spending when all I heard for several months before the election was how expensive groceries were? Where did all the money come from? Is it possible citizens were duped?

To all you Maga and Trump voters: I hope you enjoy your fascist, Nazi government! Notice how the Democrats are politely accepting Trump’s outrageous illegalities after he whined and conned his way back into the presidency. The billionaire, dishonest, prolific right-wing media has brainwashed enough Americans to flip the script on reality/equality while Republicans succeeded in REALLY stealing the election via systematic gerrymandering and voter suppression. A power grab ongoing since 1981 when Reagan fired the striking air-traffic controllers.

ßNow that the former brutal dictator of Syria has been granted asylum by Putin, 45s nominee to oversee the CIA and NSA will be able to visit two dictators in one place. That way she won’t need to trust Assad to share info she has, allegedly, shared with him while in Congress, and just hand it over to his pal Putin. The sycophants of our Republican dominated Congress will need to approve her unless she is just a temporary ‘acting’ fill-in until 45 throws her under the proverbial bus. DOGE-like efficiency.

Good for the people of Syria for overthrowing the second generation of the brutal Assad regime! May their revolution rise above foolish destruction by bigoted and violent religious sects who believe only they can heal that land benighted by a corrupt family government and its lackeys for more than 50 years.

Politicians often lie and Biden is different only in that he did not pardon his son from a crime against our Constitution or of violence to others. For that, you need felon 45 or elected officials who refused to hear evidence of his impeachment, his Big Lie of a “stolen election” or riotous insurrectionists. Rather than turn a son over to the criminal ‘justice’ of unwarranted retribution by a clown cabinet, any father would do as much.
