    Enjoyed this opinion by Thomas Lark thoroughly. Sadly I am not Irish, but admire them. Especially the Irish Catholics!


    Some never learn to never send money like that. Especially if you didn't initiate the call. And dont let the 100 a week calling scammers have access to your tv.


    Gas prices have been declining since before trump because of opec production increase and world wide lower consumption. Egg prices lately has do with bird flu, not past policies. Pointing out any negative facts about trump policies or actions does not automatically label a person bias against trump. I think you're smarter than this article portray.,its strikes me as a propagandist articlel


    The comments here restore some of my faith in the people of Lincolnton. The first 60 days have been embarrassing, regardless of party affiliation. Dismantling vital programs, killing jobs, wanting judges impeached who don't side with him, calling for Canada to become the 51st state, banning the AP from news conferences because it doesn't recognized the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, the stock market — this president infamously said any president should be impeached if the market drops 1,000 points in two days — is tanking ... the list goes on and on and on. Meanwhile, a tax cut for the rich awaits while the majority of people in Lincolnton will be bypassed again. Yes, egg prices are going down but that has zero to do with this administration and everything to do with the bird flu regressing. But Jay, you are correct: We all should want what's best for the country, it would just be nice if the president was on board with that concept, too.


        I have to say, it truly makes me happy to see people with different viewpoints coming together and having real conversations. Some bring up valid points, some maybe not as much but that’s okay. What matters is that we’re starting to rebuild America together. I know I won’t change everyone’s mind and honestly, that’s perfectly fine. Having different philosophies and perspectives is what makes our country so unique and special. We grow by listening to one another, even when we don’t always agree. I appreciate you viewpoint and honesty Lenny.


    This article tries too hard to make it seem as if Trump is doing anything positive for the American economy. Egg prices in Lincolnton still aren't great. Food Lion on Main St still has store brand eggs for $5.99, Ingles $5.98, and Walmart $4.97. Other food items are still high and going higher. Avocados, for example, went from about .86 cents a piece in January to $1.19 each at Food Lion now. Gas prices have gone down a few cents to about $2.65, but prices in Lincolnton are volatile and thanks to Raceway on Main St, any second it could shoot up to nearly $3 or over on a whim and all the others follows suit. Right now all Trump cares about is his revenge tour. Tariffs, firings, shuttering programs/agencies all in his push to make America HIS America. Pure and simple.


        I think you're missing the point. The numbers are compared to this time last year. I would encourage you to go back and reread the article. Don't let your bias clout your ability to see facts.


            It's somewhat disingenuous for you to go back to this time last year instead of the end of January of this year which is when President Trump's new policies began. I'm not sure where you're buying eggs but I'm still paying $6+ at Teeter. Your article also failed to mention the President's plunging stock market which has taken a huge bite out of my 401K and somehow you also failed to mention the hundreds of thousands of government workers that have been fired. No, they aren't eliminating waste and fraud, they're just eliminating employees randomly with no concern for who they are. Is there waste and fraud? Of course. Would I still like my food and medicines to be safe? You bet. Maybe even visit a National Park if I can find one that's staffed.


                Actually it makes total sense to go back to last year at this time And do an apples to apples comparison. I could do an article comparing just Trump's last administration to this administration economics but it still would not be in the favor of Democrats. We all just need to admit that with the bidens administration everything went up in price. You can't flood the world with unlimited amount of money because the more money you print the less your dollar is worth and unfortunately that's exactly what happened. I watched in real time everything get twice as expensive and everything I own worth half as much including people's 401ks or cash in the bank. As far as the stock market goes, there is something called P&E which stands for profits and earnings. The stock market has been extremely over inflated as the majority of companies P&E has been wildly extended. We just recently had a healthy pullback somewhere around 17% which is not a bad thing it's a fantastic thing it's an opportunity for people to reposition their portfolios and earn more money as the market goes up. Don't let your biased guide you only to one side. CNN is even reporting some positive things about the first 60 days of the Trump administration. My goal was just to write an article informing people of just the facts and with the Trump administration being in office his administration would be credited with any results good or bad.
