Confusion abounds

I can’t tell you how confused I am. There are cattle ranchers who want/demand access to public land. They don’t want the federal government to interfere. Yet when a few cows are eaten by wolves, they want the federal government to intervene. By killing wolves

Wildfires are clearly out of control. The Trumpster wants to blame everyone else but no one in the government is offering solutions. Just blame. And no one is stepping in to help. Not even the federal government. Anybody heard how Virginia is doing after their hurricane?

Closer to home, a sports writer for the Review says to ignore what the people voted for in the location of a new stadium. Ignore the people’s voice? Gee, thanks for seeking my opinion.

What do the people want? Do you want your freedoms or do you want government oversight? I’m pretty sure you can’t have it both ways. Either we are regulated by the federal government or we are not.

Take your pick. But you cannot have both. Pick what you want and quit being hypocrites when you don’t always get what you do or do not want.

Damn I’m still confused.
