Time for all Christians to stand against Trump
This has been the longest two years of my life, and know that I don’t want this problem for the next six years. So I did what every good Christian does: I took it to my pastor, and I learned he is a Trumpster.
I love my pastor with all my heart and we had around an hour of me telling him that Trump is a demon on this earth and it was up to Democratic Christians to stand up against all the injustice going on within the Trump White House.
I also told my pastor I’m glad for his help leading my life in such a positive and better way. But in the same way he and God helped me, it’s my job to stop this monstrous man from getting people shot with his rhetoric and bringing our country down with white supremacist hate. This American is fed up, and Trump has started this fight and no doubt he will keep building his alliance with David Duke and the rest of the KKK cronies.
This is the time for Article 25. Impeach this monstrous man.
While I came with this to my church, I was afraid for what could come out of a move like that because I love my brothers and sisters at my church. I did find I’m not by myself on this issue, and that was a blessing. The biggest one is when I found out the pastor’s mother was on the Democrats’ side.
So what I’m asking would be a move against Trump, and I’m aware church and state ought to be separate, but when Trump started locking children up in cages like zoo animals, that to me should bring every church into it. So let’s show Trump the United States has lived through this in the ’40s with Hitler and again through the civil rights movement. It’s up to all Americans to stand up, on your job sites, in your churches or just walking around town, to let it be known we will not move backward.
Go Democrats. Impeach Trump.

Nutrient ‘trading’ negates point of water standards
The whole idea of allowing wastewater treatment plants to forego their obligations via “nutrient trading” is a farce that is meant only to subvert the entire intention of having water quality standards in the first place. Just because one treatment facility exceeds the current water quality requirements of some nutrients doesn’t mean that another plant should be able to buy this “surplus” instead of bringing their own plant up to quality standards — standards that affect the health of every person in northwest Arkansas who drinks water.
In two recent articles in the paper I have read this analogy to explain why they should be allowed to do this: “Suppose two homeowners have the same size garbage can. One homeowner, Jones, often has more bags of trash than will fit, while Smith rarely fills his up. So Smith lets Jones toss his extra trash in his container for a small price.”
This analogy isn’t news — this is propaganda. It sounds like it was spoon-fed to your reporter by the people who are trying to circumvent our clean water rules. How about if I write my own analogies like this? “Ten other drivers on Interstate 49 are going 5 miles per hour below the speed limit, so I should be able to go 50 miles per hour over the speed limit, using their surplus.”
This credit trading is nonsense and is only going to prevent us from achieving the water quality standards that we so badly need in this area.
