Point.... Counterpoint

Body
by Cecil Tatom Sabine County Reporter Hello, faithful readers! Can you believe we’ve been doing this a month already? Time does indeed fly when one is having fun(or not watching the clock). The questions this week are as follows: 1. What is your opinion on how the current administration has handled the border crisis and 2. What is your opinion on how the mainstream media treats Donald Trump vs. how they treat Joe Biden? 1. In my opinion this joke of an administration has caused every bit of this crisis and has yet to hone up to it. On day one of his administration Biden reversed every single Trump border policy for no better reason other than the Orange Man was bad and we’re “fixing things”.
