The Oscars, Fallon and Letterman shows. Might Ringling Brothers Circus be their next display?
The Obamas detest the White House and Oval Office. And here’s why. These settings represent the historically respected images of the freest, most important, powerful and benevolent country in the history of the world, which from the Obamas’ perspective represent rather the pinnacle of America’s racial bias and international exploitation.

To the editor:
The most recent puppy mill bust in Sampson County last week was the 13th puppy mill bust in North Carolina since June 2010.
There were 60 dogs in this mill the day of the bust. Three days earlier, an HSUS inspector found more than 250 dogs there in deplorable conditions.
What happened to the nearly 200 dogs that disappeared from this puppy mill in three days?
You can be sure they will be for sale somewhere soon. Internet, Facebook, Craigslist—the avenues to sell a dog are endless with this inhumane, disgusting trade.

To the editor:
When driving east toward Wilmington, crossing the Brunswick River Bridge, one cannot help noticing “Old Glory,” moored deeply in the river’s edge, standing proudly and flying in the breeze.
Kudos and a great big “thank you” to whomever took the time and made the effort. What a great reminder of our freedoms and the lives lost since our flag’s inception in 1775. God bless the people who undertook this, and God bless America.

To the editor:
Last summer, people drove up Sunset Beach’s Mannon C. Gore Bridge and looked in awe at the vista—the ocean emerging in front of them, boats sailing down the Intracoastal, marsh grasses waving, shore birds—an awe-inspiring sight.
Unfortunately, before visitors reached the apex of the bridge, they had to look at trash-strewn, shoulder-height weeds, uncut grass, unused town equipment and an unkempt parking lot, certainly not an impression we want people to have of Sunset Beach.
