All you people moving to Tennessee from California, we don’t want your California ways and thinking. Not one little bit. Please acclimate to our state.

Show me a fervently religious Democrat? (Rants, 5/24) Good grief. You don’t see them at the cult you are involved with. We don’t do hate church.

Our city does little to celebrate July 4 to bring in visitors. Is there a big celebration planned for the USA’s 250th birthday?

I didn’t realize how thin the air must be on Lookout Mountain. Wanting to become a “sundown town” again, be careful.

Rock City [is] 30 years older than Lookout Mountain, Georgia. The people who are mad ruined the mountain building homes on bluff, obscuring view. Give me a break.

“Gondola will add to ‘nonresidents’ wandering our streets.” So Lookout is off limits to people who paid to build roads up the mountain? Rich people stink.

(IN THE NEWS: Rock City can build gondola without Lookout Mountain if necessary, CEO says)

Eighteen long months to repair Walnut Street Bridge, 18 long months to rebuild riverfront, “economic demise” of the Incline. What’s next? Remove fish from the aquarium?

Shoe’s on the other foot. Lookout Mountain is giving CARTA the boot.

Lookout Mountaineers, let’s make Ochs and Scenic Highway toll roads with limited hours to cover CARTA’s lost revenue with your severe new rules!

Booting people for late parking fines. What about late or no child support, restitution, income tax, food stamp fraud, illegals? Boot them all.

Frazier effect. Incubator endeavoring to birth new businesses in middle of North Shore, while actual establishments rapidly failing and closing on same ruined street.

Shame on the CTFP for the “hit piece” on Officer Shackleford (5/24) for doing her job. Statistics are one thing, reckless journalism is another.

Yeah, let’s put somebody in charge of the $1 billion county budget who can’t even make his RV payments.

CTFP Mark Herndon article (5/21) is basically a working man who mourned his son versus nepo baby who thinks he’s got it made.

After reading facts in CTFP, it is no wonder “conservatives” are upset reading the paper. The GOP has failed us in every way — nothing conservative about them.

CVS is suing us because we have laws against monopolies. I will not spend a penny in a CVS. Monopolies are bad.

Landlubbers. Mountain City Club should have considered the fact that the second happiest day in your life is the day you buy a boat.

Rep. Todd wrote a commentary (Free Press, 5/26) bragging about violating the Tennessee Constitution. He is proud of violating his oath for his bigotry.

After watching the Rick Jackson and Burt Jones political commercials, I have to wonder who would vote for either of them.

Name one person, just one, who is not able to vote due to any lying spoof: gerrymandering, voter ID, etc. Show me one legitimate citizen.

Rep. Chuck Fleischmann offers sound bites in opportune times but refuses town halls and won’t meet to talk with us or answer questions.

“Chuck The Schmuck” endorsed the slush fund — theft of our tax money.

Wasn’t the developer who built those homes on Raccoon Mountain responsible for the infrastructure for water?

The city raised our taxes twice to now give millions for Raccoon Mountain water lines to people who bought and built knowing there was no water. Insanity.

Enough. Close all law schools for five years. Give thousands of local attorneys time to make a living. Maybe that can cut frivolous litigation.

Name one place where communism and socialism work. People are not trying to get into Cuba, Russia, Venezuela. Never has worked. Just fluffy language.

Mifepristone results in fetal death 100% of the time.

How many OSHA inspectors were fired by Trump? Factory explosion every week. Winning.
