People who have hidden cameras are spying. People who have their cameras out in the open are protecting their property and themselves from people like the ones who are doing the spying.

Usually I call the bank on Mondays to see if my stimulus money is in my checking account. Well, the last couple of times I called them they claimed it wasn’t there. If I don’t get mine before too long, I will go find me a lawyer and take somebody to court for screwing with my bank account. There is something going on. It’s not right.

Down here on Doty Creek where I live, I went behind my uncle’s building today to look for a hen’s nest I had running around loose. All of a sudden, my next-door neighbor sics her dog on me when I was on my land.

.

El Presidente Biden, you say you have a crisis down there at the border that you made? And now you want to bring those children into our cities for the taxpayers to support? I say God bless America and let Mexico and some of those other countries take care of their own. Taxpayers of America shouldn’t have to foot any bill or the illegals. Think about it, old man.

.

I just left the bank, where the hardworking tellers barely had time to help me take care of my business because they were so busy answering calls from sorry people who have nothing better to do than call in to see if their stimulus check has arrived. You couldn’t pay me enough to be a bank teller right now. Dealing with fools is not worth it.

.

Republicans didn’t complain when Trump and the Republicans brought us these massive budget deficits to help the rich with tax cuts only for them, why should we working-class and poor people listen to the same Republicans whine because Biden is the first politician in many years to help put money into our pockets?

Some lowlife people on Mudtown Hill have eavesdropping devices. They attach them to your computer, and then they put a transmitting bug around your house so they can hear what you say. You can speak back and they make a recording of you while you speak. They doctor them up and play the tape to other people so they can destroy your reputation. They will use this against anyone. You better be aware of these sorry people. Thank you.

Everyone knows a certain man is selling drugs in Neon. He is selling heroin laced with fentanyl, but our local law enforcement and judicial officials are afraid to charge him and arrest him. My daughter has passed out three times after taking the drug he has sold to her. I thought she was going to die. The police will not touch this man from Neon, even though they know who he is.

.

I think our sheriff must be a ‘ Trumplican.’ He doesn’t know the truth.

.

In the golden days of Appalshop and WMMT, when you call the offices of the Appalshop you could hear WMMT playing in the background while you were put on hold. Now you don’t hear WMMT playing. That’s because they don’t even listen to WMMT themselves nowadays.

.

Condolences to those families who had members killed in those massacres in Atlanta and in Colorado. It is a horrible situation, especially when one armed guard could have stopped this most likely. States like South Carolina have the right idea when they allow people over 21 to form militias.

.

I have been wondering when, or even if, Magistrate Banks of District One will speak out against the rate increases proposed by Cumberland Valley Rural Electric in the Eolia and Partridge area of his district. Will Mr. Banks speak up against this rate increase and for his constituents, or will he not? It would be nice to see him actually chime in with some outrage over how this affects the poor people of Letcher County. Thank you.

Dear Speak Your Piece: We need to outlaw Dominion voting machines in the state of Kentucky and not ever use them again.

.

This is to the countme in Republican who is going to keep her stimulus check while heaping outrageous praises on Joe Biden and his government: Really? Do you actually believe that people will really think that you are a Republican? You don’t even qualify to be a good Democrat. Because you are stuck so deep in the Democrats’ jackass barnyard, it will take Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and all their cohorts a week to shovel you out. Get the message?

.

I think our sheriff needs to take a course in how to be a sheriff. He just doesn’t get it. All he thinks about is finding somebody with a pill. There is more to it than that.

.

‘An ordinary person’s opinion of the second amendment ’ doesn’t mean any more than an ‘ordinary person’s opinion’ that the earth is flat. I’ll take expert evaluations and facts any day, thank you very much.

Well, I was cruising through Whitesburg on a Wednesday. I came down through Westwood, fixing to cross the humpback bridge when I went to pick up my old pal Jeff Foxworthy. We were just driving around to see if we could find something funny. Here sat a county truck, a white Chevrolet, with a load of water. Nature itself says it will turn over if you load it so high. When it hit that bridge loaded with those big pallets, water flew everywhere. All I have to say is you should have known better than to load something six feet high in the bed of a truck. It is going to fall over. I wish I’d had a camera.

.

I have a question: Do the Jenkins school bus drivers have to obey state laws like everyone else? If so, we have a problem.

. Karl Marx said the common people are useful idiots. That’s what our representatives in Washington think of us. And they are using your grandchildren’s and great-grandchildren’s money to buy your vote.

Attention all in Letcher County: Fifty-thousand drug overdose deaths per year, nationwide. Democrats’ current answer is stimulus checks and free needles. Catastrophic crisis at the southern border. Democrats’ answer is to send Vice President Kamala Harris and millions of dollars to El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala that will most likely end up helping drug smugglers, human traffickers, and probably more fentanyl for Letcher County. Several thousand deaths are caused by firearms each year. Some estimates are 87 percent of those deaths are caused by illegal gun owners engaged in criminal, drug, and gang violence in the largest Democrat-run cities. Democrats’ answer is a full-out assault on the second amendment and legal, law-abiding gun owners. Thank you.

(Not quite sure where you’re coming up with the 87 percent figure you cite concerning gun deaths in the United States. Multiple reports from credible publications state that during the year 2020, there were 24,090 gun suicides in our country compared to 19,379 gun homicides. Are you saying that 87 percent of the 19,379 gun homicides happened in large cities with Democrat mayors?)

.

Joe Biden said if you do what I tell you to do I might just give you a crumb of your small freedom back. Now that sounds like somebody who really wants to be a dictator.

.

God bless America. We have a lot of illegals coming into the United States right now. The safest place for them to be right now is probably Harlan, Kentucky. I am quite sure they would welcome illegals into their town. You can drink water from their coal mines and there are a lot of abandoned buildings for them to live in. The state would probably help them, too. I believe Harlan is one of the safest cities in the United States. Put that in your crack pipes and smoke it.

.

The Republicans might as well get off our southern border. Biden and every Democrat in the United States has it running just exactly how they want it.

.

I just saw where in the state of Georgia they passed a law making it illegal to give someone food or water while they are standing in line to vote. Isn’t that something? Jim Crow is alive and well in Georgia. Georgia’s governor said they had to change a lot of laws because they got their butts kicked in the election. Those who are trying to keep the Black people and poor people from voting are afraid they are going to lose future elections. I would be ashamed to be a Republican today.

.

If you are a veteran and you want to buy a home, you can get a loan with no money down. I just thought the veterans needed to know this.

.

I’ve got something to say. You better not go up to the Whitesburg hospital or anywhere else in Letcher County if a tragedy happens to you. By the time you get back home, everybody on Facebook knows all about it. I think it’s a shame that people who work at the hospital and other places run and tell about what happened on Facebook. I thought these were supposed to be personal matters. This needs to stop.

.

What’s happening, you Biblically illiterate pagan heathens? That’s beside the point, isn’t it? If you want to move to a town where you can get away with about anything you want, move to Baltimore. They aren’t prosecuting prostitutes, drug offenders, and minor traffic offenses. They have just quit prosecuting. You can pee on the sidewalks and not get prosecuted. What’s this world coming to?

Someone sent a comment to Speak Your Piece alleging that the cartels in Mexico were outsmarting the U.S. government by sending these people over the border and getting $3,000 to $5,000 apiece. Of course your editor had to comment on this to make the point that they were not getting stimulus payments. I don’t know if the immigrants are going to get stimulus payments nor do you; however, the drug cartels are charging people $2,000 to $25,000 to be allowed to cross our border. They made over $2 billion in doing so. They are getting rich and our country is going in debt. Go figure. We are spending $500 a day to put immigrants up in hotels while our National Guard members are sleeping on the floor in Washington, D.C.

(Thank you for your comment. After reviewing the original comment from last week and our reply to that caller, we cannot be certain that he or she was, in fact, talking about stimulus payments. So for that we apologize. As for your comment about the National Guard members and illegal immigrants, please Google the March 23 fact-checking report by The Associated Press entitled ‘Hotel rooms for migrant families spark misleading claims.’)

.

To the caller who said, ‘Well, I guess we all can thank President Biden for these gas prices going up. Food will go up, too, since they have to transport it in. I guess we can also thank him when our electric bills go up, and for the crisis at the border’: I guess you can do that — if you’re either an utter imbecile or a lying right-wing propaganda-spreading seditionist. Shut your stinking mouth, Trump sucker, I’m sick of listening to treasonous trash like you.

.

We need more people in Congress like Republican Senator Mitt Romney. He is the winner of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage award for crossing party lines to cast the deciding vote to impeach former president Donald Trump. We could heal a lot of the problems we are facing in this nation if we had elected officials with good conscience and good will and guts like Senator Romney.

All lives matter. Black lives matter, white lives matter, Asian lives matter, the poor lives matter, the rich lives matter, the unborn children’s lives matter. The Democrats act like they want to protect people’s lives but at the same time they support a woman’s right to abortion. Every politician who stands for abortion has innocent blood dripping from their hands. Read Proverbs 6:6-19. These people think they are getting by but there is no one getting by. There is a coming judgment. Someone will stand before God with blood on their hands for all the innocent children that have been murdered. Hell is a real place — a place of torment where there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. The only hope you have is to repent of the evil that you have done and ask Jesus for mercy. Only Jesus can save you from hell.
