Reader’s Commentary: ‘Wayne’s World’ incorrect, Dems botched Afghanistan

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda “Wayne’s World” Johnson, again, proves to us he doesn’t do his homework. Wayne and factual information don’t mix well. But perhaps it isn’t because Wayne is uninformed, but he’s gotten irrational. Maybe it’s more that Johnson’s depression has made him that way. Wayne is depressed. His...

Reader’s Commentary: Democratic convention, response to Wayne, Harris, hiding

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Honorable people are truthful people, which is why Wayne’s World Johnson is not an honorable man.
