LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Ilhan Omar dresses to expresses her beliefs. But I believe taxes are too high. If I dressed to express my beliefs – buck naked like Lady Godiva – I’d hear some insensitive remarks too. Speaking of which, President Trump is in a lot of trouble for his Tweet about The Squad: “Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came?” Wait a minute, Donald. “ Totally broken and crime infested? ” They are in Congress. In fact, Trump wasn’t the first to cast shade on the “Four Flibbertigibbets.” Nancy Pelosi called them out for being too far to the left. And when Nancy Pelosi says you’re too far to the left – oh boy! You have veered out of the passing lane, crossed the median strip, and are driving into oncoming traffic!

Next, there’s Rashida Tlaib, who thinks the Gaza Strip is the ideal model for a national government and who also represents the parts of Detroit where you wouldn’t send your worst enemy on a daytime errand. Plus there’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a woman who’s really accomplished something... She made the “blonde joke” obsolete. Lastly, there’s Ilhan Omar, the one in a gunnysack – did I just say that out loud? I am so sorry. It was such an insensitive remark.
