Infantile actions
by Dems during
State of Union
Editor, the Journal
Never in my life have I heard such
a great pro-American State of the
Union speech, and never in my life
have I seen such an idiotic display
of infantile, disrespectful pouting on
the left. The Dems must have worked
extremely hard to form anger-faces,
then got huge injections of Botox
wherein even high points-of biparti-
san successes did not vary their Zom—
bie mugs of hatred.
Land of the dead, the left side of
the aisle, dressed in their whites of
protest, scowling at even issues they
themselves embrace, their oath of
group hatred for this president would
have been laughable had it not been
so disgraceful. Pelosi sucking her
teeth, scowling for every standing
ovation, and the Dems Velcroed to
their seats, proved the single-minded-
ness of petulant children.
Oh, there will be hews and cries
that every “T” wasn’t crossed and
every ”I” wasn’t dotted in facts, and
much said about not shaking the
hand of the woman who said she has
“wanted to impeach him for 21/2 years”
and lying about holding an impeach-
ment hearing only if it is bipartisan, r
but you could not deny the dedicated
spirit of a president who loves and is
fighting for America. '
If Dems don’t like the president, at
' least they should have the maturity
to respect the office they hold and
the historical event of a State of the
Union tradition. At the culmination
of an optimistic outpouring from our
president, the Speaker of the House
Pelosi disgraced herself and her of-
fice by standing behind the president,
taking her copy of his speech, making
a very visual point ripping page by
page. Three and a half years of hatred
for this man is like a cancer spreading
throughout our country that derails
any partisan success for the American
people. _ .
I have never been so ashamed of
the infantile actions of half this legis-
lative body of our government. Do you
really want people like this to gov-
ern our country? I pray to God this
honor will not befall the Democrat
Party until they all respect theroffice
they hold and work for the American
people and with the sitting president.
' God bless America; she needs it.

R-oundabouts
make hospital
tough to locate
Editor, the Journal
Recently, and unfortunately, I had
the exasperating experience of trying
to find the hospital in Gig Harbor to
visit my wife who was in the hospital.
Before leaving home in Grapeview, I
set my GPS entering the address. The
GPS urged me to exit the freeway at
the first exit after entering the free-
way from Purdy. At that exit there
was a large blue sign with a large “H.”
“Aha,” I thought this will be easy.
Wrong. My GPS tried to guide me as I
entered the first of three roundabouts
‘I would encounter. Since there were
no more blue hospitalsigns, I was
now totally dependent upon my GPS
- unit. I apparently missed one ap-
propriate exit from the circle, so GPS
took me down to the waterfront and
back. About this time the GPS lady
went into a deep pout and refused to
communicate with me. She eventually
got over it and led me to the round-
abouts again. She shot me out of my
sixth roundabout of the trip onto a
road that took me to the hospital,
which is well hidden in the woods
north of Gig Harbor.
My question, if you are going
to build a hospital where nobody
can find it and then complicate the
process further by installing three
roundabouts between the freeway
and the hospital, why not install blue
hospital signs at every juncture along
the way? Fortunately, no emergency
was involved or I would have been a
goner.
