THE POSTSCRIPT, Carrie Classon

Our cat, Felix, has a new home.

We adopted Felix in Mexico while we were staying there. The woman who fostered him, Marcela, thought he was a kitten because he was so small — except for his tail, which appears to be intended for a much larger cat.

But when I took him to the vet, they said he was two years old. I worried he was going through a lot of changes rather quickly for a two-year-old. He lived on the streets until he was picked up by Marcela, then he came to live with us in Mexico. Now Felix and Peter and I are returning to the U.S. together.

Saturday Night Live comedian Colin Jost delivered remarks Saturday during the annual Correspondence Dinner, and while he took the expected jabs at both Donald Trump and Joe Biden, there was a moment where he explained one of the biggest problems with how people vote.

It was surprising to hear jokes about Biden, something that most places simply don’t allow.

For one, after making a reference to Staten Island being a place that supports Republicans but also supported the British in the Revolutionary War, he quipped to Biden, “You remember,” a shot at the president’s age.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR, Reita Isaacs, Liberal

Three years ago, I could have been sitting on my patio enjoying the beautiful flower beds all around the fence line while having coffee and a scrumptious breakfast roll. This year is a totally different story because of things like the drought denying natural healing rains to fall on our land.

Then came COVID, basically destroying what was a healthy commerce — government deliberately destroying businesses and lives so they could control the people through fear and retaliation. Remember that?

It has taken a couple years for those who were able to survive only to know it’s temporary because our government is in league with the one-world government.

I recognize it has become popular for conservatives to be against aid to Ukraine and other foreign endeavors. But honestly, anyone who has bothered to understand the underlying intent of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the potential consequences of the collapse of Ukrainian statehood with Russian victory, knows it shouldn’t be so easy to turn a blind eye to their situation.

Please. Quit reading your overtly-biased conspiracy news sites and open a history book. Learning the past can help predict the future.
