Correct me if I am wrong, but they decided I can not go, not me. I've been going for several years and now they tell me I am not welcome. This is not the America I was brought up in.

Too many restrictions. If you are so afraid of Covid that you must have proof of testing or vaccine, than you should just cancel the event. By having the restrictions i place you are discriminating against those who do not feel the vaccine is safe and those who do not want to be tested.

My rights do not end where your fear begins! I will not be coming because of the vaccine mandate or testing!

I wouldn’t touch the Roots N Blues with a 6 foot pole. We’re in the middle of a global pandemic. This event is a flop, no one will go because we refuse to kill our neighbors!!!!!!! ONLY PSYCHOPATHS WILL CONSIDER GOING!!! You hear that? PSYCHOPATH MURDERERS WILL ATTEND THE EVENT! This is a pandemic!

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I have no desire to watch him spew lies and pat himself on the back. He's a sorry excuse of a human being.

Thee truth is hard for some to swallow. Maybe you could find a Biden or Obama clip to watch?

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
