More than anything else I just feel great pity when I read poorly written, fact-free attacks like these on my writing. These gentlemen are under the delusion from their media sources that people on the left are some sort of snowflakes who are easily offended or intimidated. Mr. Howell wants to continually label me a loser. Mr. Nowell wants me to know he's available to visit with me and probably not in a friendly way. Listen, gentlemen, I was a high school teacher for more than two decades, so I was cussed out in any number of languages. You don't offend me, and you sure as hell don't scare me. I didn't quit then, and I'm not going to quit now. Our country and our constitution are in great jeopardy. You gentlemen represent the plurality, not the majority, who voted for a D-list celebrity who only played a successful businessman on "reality" TV. In other words, you are just easy marks for the con man who will distract you with threats to invade hither and yon or bs about trans athletes, while he picks your pocket by monetizing the office of the presidency. I'd say wake up, but it's 2025. If you're still buying Trump's bull, you must actively want to be hoodwinked.
