Is anyone cited for cell
phone use while driving?
I have wanted to say something for a few years now. Why is no one getting pulled over and ticketed for using a cell phone while driving. (As of July 2013, all cell phone use while driving became a primary offense in West Virginia).
I don’t know of anyone who’s been ticketed themselves or of anyone they know. I see cell phones being used all the time.
Yet, no one is being ticketed. I bet it would send a loud message to all drivers, to see this law enforced. Not to mention the extra revenue it would bring in local government. Thoughts?

Recalling grim history for
those who weren’t there
History in our country sometimes needs to be remembered by those who weren’t there. Our country is currently under threat from those nations that have or those trying to develop nuclear weapons.
I wrote this letter to remind people that we still have enemies that still would like to destroy us.
You don’t read many stories about the families that lived the experience of a nuclear threat firsthand — what’s it like. After seeing the last series of the “Game of Thrones” I labeled the source as the nuclear dragon. Maybe that will relate to our youth.
This might also relate to the necessity of having strong leaders elected that would protect us from our enemies. The movie “Thirteen Days” depicts most of the confusion in our country during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

Trump’s fortune got its
start with federal funds
President Trump’s supporters keep railing against “socialism.”
But don’t they know Trump’s fortune was made during the Depression when his father took federal money to build housing projects for the poor?
