Stealing election
So the Democrats stole Martha McSally’s Senate seat in the 2018 Election, when 1 million mail-in ballots suddenly appeared after Election Day. This was the model for what they are doing now, and explains why they were pushing mail-in voting. We have seen thousands of mail-in ballots suddenly appear during the night each night since the election. Mysteriously, these are all votes for Biden with no votes for Trump. This simply does not add up. Furthermore, poll-watchers are not being allowed to observe the counts, and the processes are deeply flawed since they were rushed in just before the election in many cases. There is no audit trail after the ballots are separated from the mailing envelope, and Pennsylvania does not even require signature verification. How can this be considered to be an honest and transparent election?
Nothing gets done
Why can’t Waukegan fix the broken north railing of the Grand Street Bridge? It’s had that makeshift patch for at least six years. Two mayors and numerous aldermen have been told about this eyesore, and still nothing gets done.
Predictable warning
Like most voters in Illinois, I’m pleased we voted against Pritzker’s “fair tax.” His response was a predictable warning, that “the cuts would be painful.”
Really rotten?

People in some jurisdictions — New York and Washington, D.C. among them — have been celebrating when it was announced that Biden is the next president. So what was the purpose of all the preparations against rioting and mayhem prior to the election? Does it mean that those on the left would riot only if President Trump was declared the winner? Has this great country — the country we love and fought for — really gotten this rotten?
Reduce the rate
My demand is to make the cuts in state corruption only, and then reduce the tax rate from the resultant savings. I would like to see our next governor run on that platform.

Tough road ahead
It could get very tough for Joe Biden if indeed he is sworn in as the new president. President Donald J. Trump accomplished record-breaking feats in less than three years. Whereas Biden has been in politics for 47 years — eight as vice president — but he has no known significant accomplishment to show for it. And he is much older now.
