There has been an increase of people that are destroying our flag. I can’t guess why they think they need to do that. Why do they choose the flag to protest?

They obviously aren’t veterans. As a matter of fact I think most veterans would like to show them what it is like to be in a war zone.

Hopefully our country will get away from being insane.

I am going to get political for a few lines.

Our country seems to be going in the wrong direction. The leadership is doing things I do not agree with:

  1. The Southern border…That is a joke! Doesn’t seem to be any restraints of who can come across the border. Drugs are getting through also. Terrorist are crossing the border as well. Needs to be cleaned up.
  2. Inflation…I have heard that people aren’t buying Hygiene products now, because of the cost. That could end up being smelly.
  3. Gas prices…Sky rocketing.
  4. Interest rates… They are so high no one can afford to buy a home.
