Editor,

The new mantra for Democrats is “Schumer shut down the government and all I got was long lines!” Sorry, I don’t mean to offend, but the Democrat party has been acting more like spoiled children than responsible adults. What Schumer claimed was always a myth. Obamacare was always going to be funded; it was just the Biden temporary fund increase that was in question.

But as Reagan once said, “Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program.”

On a lighter note, thanks to the International Olympic Committee’s preventing male athletes in women’s sports. We won’t be seeing three men on every winner’s podium. Sorry perverts, sex matters.
