Just when we thought these unprecedented times couldn’t get more partisan, another controversy divides our country on a holiday weekend, no less.
Salt on watermelon? Or no salt?
Hyper-partisan divide
The divide seems to be along picnic lines, specifically Fourth of July picnics. Those who don’t see eye-to-eye can’t seem to respect other people s taste buds and get on with the seed-spitting contest.
In an informal Facebook survey, The Daily Reporter asked readers to vote.
“As the July 4th holiday approaches, we want your input. Watermelon: Salt or no salt?”
“No salt” won by a small margin. “Salt” voters are calling for a recount.

City Council members on Friday spent six hours grilling police Supt. David Brown over his plans to tamp down the latest surge in summertime gun violence.
But Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s top cop said he could’ve used that time preparing for the perennially bloody Fourth of July Holiday weekend instead.
“This briefing before you today comes at a cost of critical scheduled time for our leadership team to discuss deployment decisions that we are all forgoing to ensure you have this information once again,” Brown said before outlining some of the patrol strategies that he and the mayor say are regularly provided to aldermen.
