One Woman’s Opinion

Jackie Reed, Columnist

I want to thank Speakin Out News and our many dedicated readers.  Thank God for Life, Health, Faith, Family, Friends and all that God does for us every day.  This World is in a terrible situation today and we had all better wake up.  I have never seen anything like it in all my years.

U. S. VIRUS

Please be careful and do not take this virus lightly.  It will be getting worse as Christmas is around the corner and winter weather is here. I saw where there were 31,000 virus deaths in a single day in the U.S.  More than 200,00 cases a day topping the list according to figures reported Thursday.  Keeping Santa at a distance this year will be sad for the children.  Many families are checking on-line for ways to have their kids talk to Santa ranging in price from $20 to $100 depending on the length and the extras, such as if customers want a recording.

ELECTIONS

I am not a Democrat or Republican but we have a bad situation on our hands.   I believe there should be no votes allowed after the polling date. The cities should give 3 months to vote before the election then shut it down.  There is too much politics going with the polling places. 

I have always been a Kennedy admirer. He helped all the people and that is what it is all about.  Who really works for the people now days?  When I watched the debates and heard of all the money that President elect Joe Biden, his wife, son and brother had taken, yet this was not ever discussed or brought before the public.  We needed to hear the facts.  I am very concerned about Obama, Clinton and Biden running our country.  We have already been threated by Russia and China and that is a serious situation.  We are in America and our leaders need to protect and work for ALL the people for a better quality of life. 

I have never really figured out who is running our City.  I believe we have a City Manager in Huntsville and not an administrative aid. He seems to be making all the decision for our Mayor and seems to be a sales person to the City Council.  I am not happy with our Planning Department either as they keep build big parking garages for their friends and charging only a $100 month rent for 50 years.  Wake up and watch our City Government and keep up with their votes as they are making big changes downtown.

Love you all and have a blessed week.
