Boyett defeats Nethery in Probate Judge race, Puckett secures a landslide victory over King in race for District 2 Commissioner.

Nethery and King will presumably continue in their current positions until after the general election in November.

President Biden claiming that his policies have eased — not caused — the border crisis is a whole new level of gaslighting.

[The Lamar Countian @lamarcountian]

Are you as optimistic about America’s immediate future as Joe Biden says he is?

[The Lamar Countian @lamarcountian]

It’s over. And it will be as forgettable as almost every State of the Union Address in the last 20 years.

[The Lamar Countian @lamarcountian]

Honestly surprised he spent so little time on abortion and LGBTQ.

[The Lamar Countian @lamarcountian]

Touting success re: border security is beyond laughable.
