IS IT TRUE we are told that some people feel that it’s time to consider demolishing every image of any historical leader in public places?…this is because every person who did something once deemed worthy of being memorialized in a statue falls short of some sanctimonious groups litmus test for inclusion?
IS IT TRUE that some people feel that government should take down every statue of a human image of any kind and never erect another one?…they feel, that today’s great person will most certainly be a future generation’s enemy so let’s just stop with the statues, the pictures of politicians in post offices and city halls, etc.?…leaving no image standing and no picture hanging is the only way to appease every micro ideology out there?

  1. I have a question/complaint. The Evansville Police Department recruitment video that lasted 8 minutes. What was that?? It was not funny or informative. Who was the video geared toward? It was just weird..

  2. Yesterday’s comments about “true” unemployment numbers seem askew to me. I think if you want a job there are many to be had. You can get a job and be somebody or lay on the couch and remain a nobody. The added simulus money makes it easier to justify being lazy.

  3. There are still 12 MILLION jobs that were lost by Trump earlier in the year
    that REMAIN lost.

    The U-6, the ACTUAL # of people UNEMPLOYED in the United States is 12.8%.

    It is the worst unemployment # for a President since the Great Depression of the 1930’s.

    No single factor spells out TRUMP LOSING REELECTION like that one.
