Just because someone was convicted of drunk driving for the first time, doesn't mean it was their first time driving drunk. Studies from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show first-time offenders have, on average, driven drunk about 80 times before getting caught. Show Less

Everyone knows you should not drink and drive.

Tracy John

I agree however, one beer shouldn't get you a DWI or DUI either.

Debra Coffey

It is not the first time they drove drunk and can change behaviour. It's just first time they were caught.

An offender's first time getting caught drunk driving shouldn't force them to get an ignition interlock device.

I believe that people caught driving while high on Fentanyl, Heroin, Meth, or anything similar should be treated the same way as alcohol intoxication, but they are not.

I see people smoking joints driving beside my. That makes me feel real good also. They need to be arrested.

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.

Max

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

Steve Baumann

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.

Fred

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.

Brenda Freeman

No i don't like listening to the lies that comes out of his mouth

Fred

I don't enjoy being lied to ...

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.

Max

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

Not seeing very good returns on the 5 day schedule. Are we sure 4 days are the answer. Dropping standards is never an option. You soften standards on discipline and look where it has got you. Do the hard right over the easy wrong.

Max

One full day, for the kids to be unsupervised, in most cases, spells DANGER for them, but if it's good for the teachers, then let's do it. Teachers Unions have been so good, for so for so long, for everyone, but the children, and their parents....
