LETTER TO THE EDITOR: The truth, whole truth, nothing but the truth about opinions

Published 10:44 am Monday, May 20, 2024

“SAFE!” yells the umpire as Yogi slides into home plate at the bottom of the ninth, breaking the tie score and thus ending the game.

And so it is with Opinions; safe at first, safe on second and/or third and, if you’re good, safe at home plate too.

Calling it your opinion can keep you safe in many ways, even if only 1/2 of the crowd goes home happy.

OPINION, noun; a belief or conclusion not substantiated by knowledge or proof. “Mine is right, yours is not…it’s wrong and you better get used to it.”

OPINIONATED; a person not like myself because I am always right and they only hold opinions…I am right, they are merely opinionated, right?

OPINIONS; Something everyone has, like a certain body part.

OPINIO-NATION; not a real word…

Please keep those definitions in mind and this too;

There are only two things that are always right in the universe…the Big Guy and Myself. It’s a tough job, but we can handle it.

The following are some Truths I will now share with you;

1. JOE GOTTA GO! Simple and ‘catchy’, yet so profound.

2. (Same as above) …JOE GOTTA GO!

3. KAMMIE GOTTA GO TOO thinking. Forget the “Less is more” junk and take a long taxi ride home.”

4. (This one’s huge!) We are all being ‘screwed’ and not even being kissed. We will only have POOR choices in November…and that’s the TRUTH!

SCREWS; pointy .sharp little fasteners with a slot or ‘Philips.head’ that you can screw it in with.. they come in a lot of sizes.

And keep in mind, D.T. is the ONLY TRUE alternative to the BIDENATOR (Biden-dictatorship)..

It is my OPINION that as the fog lifts, the crew will ‘see the light’ at last and keep America safe once more by selecting TRUMP…who did not do a bad job last time as some would have you believe.

Sure, ’tis ‘only’ my opinion mind you, but I’m sticking to it!

I have also heard that you can judge a person by the company they keep. Joe keeps some really strange people around him in order to seem ‘inclusive’ and attract votes. But when they bring nothing to the table, it makes you wonder about the Perp-in Chief’s decision making skills’

The absolute ‘poster-girl’ for this actually Kareeen the Oppressor and not number 2, the Kamulator.

As she often demonstrates, she brings nothing to the table…zilch…zero.

If she were in the ‘real’ world, she’d have been fired long ago for failure to perform the duties assigned to her.

I’m sure the frustrated press corps and the American people want some answers, but she refuses to provide any to a serious inquiry. She must have majored in Dodge-Ball.

Joe, if this is your Top Pick for your team, your transparent administration’s ‘face of the White House’, then you are a failed head coach and should simply not renew your contract next year…in my truthful OPINION.
