Bears are unpredictable and dangerous to humans. I don't care if they were here first. Bears do not belong in our cities or neighborhoods. Human security in these areas is more important than bears roaming wherever they please.

As expected, President Obama made the funeral of Nelson Mandela all about himself. It is so embarrassing to have such a narcissistic president. I can't wait for 2016.

Amazon.com is planning to start using drones for home deliveries. This is a dream come true for skeet shooters.

What is the Department of Defense thinking, buying Russian helicopters instead of American? We need to spend our tax money in the states, keeping Americans at work. There is no justification for this.

I'm retired. In two years, my house insurance went from $900 to $1,500. I guess the governor and Republican leaders knowing about this publicized problem will fix it, right?

Once again, Sen. Marco Rubio has to be the first one out there against something that's positive for the country, even before he has the facts.

Democrats and President Obama ask why don't the Republicans present their own health-care plan? The Republican House has proposed alternatives, which the Democratic Senate will not even consider.

There are efforts to raise the minimum wage for fast-food workers. What about people who are living on Social Security and don't even see a 2 percent increase per year?

Because of the radicalization of the Republican Party, the party now has become irrelevant to the future of America.

I worry about my squirrels. Normally fertile oak trees in the area have only a fraction of their crop of acorns. I suspected global warning until I was told it's the hot air wafting down from Tallahassee.

I hate the dividers on State Road 436. They really mess up traffic. They would look better if the city would keep the weeds out of them. It ruins Semoran Boulevard.

Actors should listen to news people and learn how to talk. There are a lot of programs I like, but I can't listen to them because the actors think if they talk low, it's sexy. It's not.

Despite having three years to roll it out, the Obama administration incompetently and inefficiently has messed up our medical system. Yet some people want to give this government even more power over our medical system. Amazing.

As a young sailor during the Cold War, I was sold on the GOP by President Reagan. However, Republicans today seem content with doing nothing. C'mon, fellas, we're on the same team.
