Onions to

the former chief executive for telling us so many lies before the big lie.

the local company not paying an employee overtime for working Saturday because he was off work Monday for jury duty.

inflation brought on by CEOs raising prices while continuing to collect their multi-million dollar salaries and bonuses.

those fixated on our last leader when our country is in shambles because of the current leader or lack thereof.

anyone in charge of street lights in the middle of west State Road 46.

submitting demeaning comments to Onions instead of using valuable time to help others.

arrogant elites who demonize hard-working Americans and Canadians.

bridges, they belong to all and so does the Capitol.

thinking border crisis, inflation, supply chain crisis, mandates, loss of energy independence, military disasters and global weakness are better than voting for the other guy.

elected and civilian party members who support “if you can’t win an election fairly, promote the big lie that it was rigged and try to steal it by force.”
