Editor,

It’s always a treat when Matt Grocott descends from his library to grace us with a civics lesson. This time, he uses a wobbly comparison of “liberty” and “freedom” to fabricate a netherworld where duly-elected and legally-appointed officials issue executive orders that undermine his pursuit of happiness (“Liberty and freedom” column in the Nov. 9 edition of the Daily Journal). But oops, Trump signed more of them in his single term (220) than did Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43, or Obama in any of theirs. Then we’re treated to his expert (sic) scientific opinion regarding withering vaccine efficacy and flourishing natural immunity. And I’ll bet his fans in Texas are unnerved by his support of “my body, my choice.”

Mr. Aydelott – you conveniently forgot to mention that bumbling Biden already has about 70 EO’s under his belt, with more to come when the legislative branch goes red. I guess that blows a gaping hole in your narrative. BTW, it’s not Mr. Grocott’s opinion regarding vaccine efficacy and flourishing natural immunity – it’s the actual science in this world. Do the research to become better educated.
