Letters: Complaints on driving

Houston daily traffic in Pharr, McAllen and throughout the Valley. No matter what time, the traffic is heavy.

Who are these people? Don’t they work? From point A to point B you have to make a line, much like crossing the international bridge. I am not going to Mexico, only to H-E-B, yet it takes me 30 minutes to get there a mile away.

This morning when my wife and I left to do some errands, it felt like I was driving in Houston. A line everywhere we went. It took me 15 minutes to cross an intersection, three cars at a time.

And I don’t want to mention the people knocking at my window at every intersection. Are they renting the corner from the city to make tax free money? I am in if it is allowed. With my luck the IRS will nail me for not reporting it.

Live and let live, I say. But don’t bother me.

Limbaugh

warned us

The late, great Rush Limbaugh warned America on his radio show that the Democratic Party was like a ship without a rudder. He called them a power hungry bunch that has weaponized the IRS and FBI for political gain. We now know for a fact that FBI operatives in Washington, D.C., at the highest level met and paid for information that would further the Russia collusion conspiracy. There are text messages from disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok to his paramour, FBI attorney Lisa Page, about the insurance policy should Donald Trump become president, referencing the meeting in Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe’s office.

Then there was Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff, who promised Congress and the American people that he had evidence that would prove all these salacious accusations. Schiff even promised compromising pictures of President Trump.

We now know that none of these Russian collusion events ever happened and the claims against former President Trump were false. was right!

Now we are discovering that the COVID virus probably did originate in a Wuhan China lab, a claim that got President Trump cancelled from Twitter. And remember the drug hydroxychloroquine? Incredibly, countries like Africa with a population of more than a billion recorded fewer deaths according to a John Hopkins study that compared Africa to the Americas. It is a fact that hydroxychloroquine is given to the population regularly to combat malaria, yet President Trump was criticized for his claim that hydroxychloroquine was a great drug to combat COVID. Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Schiff were all in on the smear to vilify Trump at every corner, yet we now see that many of Trump’s claims did have validity backed by science.

Not only was Rush Limbaugh correct about Democrats being like a ship without a rudder, but I will add to that by saying with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris at the helm it has become a ship of fools as well.

Editor’s note: This statement appears on the Johns Hopkins website and Twitter feed: “According to Johns Hopkins experts, there are no significant clinical trials to date showing that hydroxychloroquine is an effective treatment against COVID-19.”

Studies of COVID infections in Uganda and other African countries where the drug is used to treat malaria concluded that low infection rates resulted from school closings and other social restrictions that were imposed, not on the use of the drug.
