Speak Out 9/10/18
Nike�s Kaepernick advertising strategy will end just as spectacularly as Target�s �choose your bathroom� ads and Starbucks� �let�s talk about race� campaign. The gutless media uses anonymous sources to peddle their predetermined narrative. They are creating another scenario where the silent majority will rise up in defense of our president.

Gutless Times
The gutless media uses anonymous sources to peddle their predetermined narrative. They are creating another scenario where the silent majority will rise up in defense of our president.
Kavanaugh hearing
Jon Rust thinks the Democrats asking questions of Kavanaugh is outrageous? Outrageous is the blatant theft of Obama�s Supreme Court pick by the Republicans. All ideas of fairness and justice have been cast aside. Gloves off. When your president tweets crooked congressmen should go free for your side to win, you have more problems than the Democrats!

Catch 22
As I read the article about the settlement the Cape School District had made with a student and her family, I was saddened that this individual would not listen to the authorities asking her to stop fighting and instead continued, causing restraint. If this individual would have kept her emotions under control, none of this would have happened. And if the authorities would have permitted the fight to continue, they would have been sued for not intervening. A no-win situation for the school.
NAFTA
People should really get their facts straight before they comment to Speak Out. A recent commenter thought that President Trump should either cancel NAFTA or shut up about it and quit threatening Congress. NAFTA is a ratified treaty between three nations, no president can simply cancel it. It has to be done by Congress. I love quoting that great Missourian Mark Twain in these situations, �It is better to remain quiet and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt!�
Tree travesty
Some communities build new sidewalks around or over established old trees. Cape and Jackson could make this investment in our wonderful trees instead of current removal policy!
