The COVID epidemic destroyed our local and state economies.
We were growing jobs!
We were not losing jobs!
What the hell happened?
Our President in Office when this hit?
He’s a clown. Totally incompetent. Watches TV and plays golf instead of figuring out a plan.
Terrible. Gross negligence. One Term President – DESERVED.
, and 100% of that
…falls exclusively on the guy in the White House.
It’s the fourth year of his term!
Better off than 4 years ago? That is a solid NO. Fool.
Evansville needs a motivational Speaker. Someone that will talk positive. Someone with a mixture of Jesse Jackson, Tony Robbins and CT Fletcher. Too many time the “Leaders” of our community give negative outlooks. “They” say the reason you are where you are in life is because of your skin color, by finances,by where you live, We need to show that people in worst positions in life than you have made a wonderful life fighting the odds. They may not be the richest people in town or the most outspoken in our city. But they are doctors,nurses,police officers,fire fighters,teachers, Toyota workers, etc.. A lot of people are not shown that the only thing holding them back is themselves. Don’t listen to the naysayers. You can do it. If you fail,try again and again. But,soo many people do not have positive reinforcement from home,school,church..etc..
Is it true that it is about time we hear about the results of the theft from ECHO?
Trump – I DON’T WANT TO TALK about the REAL 21.2% UNEMPLOYMENT RATE !! I wish you would stop cutting and pasting the same comment time after time after time. Spend a moment and look at how for three and a quarter years the media in general and the Democrats have ginned up the talk (mostly false) to the extent that ANY one would defend themselves. Trump didn’t come into this job a politician and has done extremely well given the load of the press and Democrats have put on his back!!
I have never laughed so loud after reading this, Sir.
“Yes. Trump sucks, and he’s a horrible President! But a lot of people suck at their jobs! No he doesn’t know what he’s doing! But you need to give him a chance! It’s a hard job!”
God help the United States. Trump has fans who he tramples on and the trampled fans cheer! What are we supposed to do with people like this?
Russia Secretly Offered Afghan Militants Bounties to Kill Troops, U.S. Intelligence Says ~
American intelligence officials have concluded that a Russian military intelligence unit secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan — including targeting American troops — amid the peace talks to end the long-running war there, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The intelligence finding was briefed to President Trump, and the White House’s National Security Council discussed the problem at an interagency meeting in late March. Officials developed a menu of potential options — starting with making a diplomatic complaint to Moscow and a demand that it stop, along with an escalating series of sanctions and other possible responses.
Trump has yet to authorize any response at all.
