You are to blame

So our illustrious president does not want to take responsibility for any of the COVID-19 catastrophe that has hit this country. I’m sorry, Mr. President, whether you want to accept responsibility for it or not, for throughout history you will be 100% responsible for this disaster. Whether you want to accept responsibility or not, it’s going to be all on you in all of the history books.

Time for a change

As a longtime resident of the village of Beach Park, it’s time for a change. We have board members with close to 20 years. I think the average times of service up there is 13 years. That’s 13 years of doing nothing, and rubber-stamping everything. They talk a big talk. We’ve got a mayor that was going to clean up Sheridan Road, who hasn’t done anything to improve Sheridan Road. All we’ve done is gone from one new executive to another one, and go through that. It’s time that we make the Village Hall in Beach Park part of the village. Make it work for the village, not for the employees up there in the street department. It’s time that we see some action. It’s time for change.

Unfit to be president

Democrat Joe Biden said he would raise taxes. Is he out of his mind? Then he calls President Trump George. You make the call. He is unfit to be president.

Politicians are sick

Democrats love to raise taxes. Sure enough, Democratic Mayor Lightfoot plans to raise property taxes. These politicians are sick.

Looting morons

Where is the law and order in this country? I’m a person who pays my taxes and follows the laws, and then you’ve got these morons looting our country. Someone has to stop this. Enough is enough, and getting another president in is not the answer. You have got to stop this immoral injustice on the citizens who do pay to have a nice city.

Not the answer

Do you really feel that Biden is going to take care of this country any better? You’re wrong. This is a man who cannot speak for himself without his wife, or Kamala, or his team pre-determining his questions. Do you really believe this man is going to change the pandemic? His plans are no different than what Trump is already doing, other than keeping you safely in your basements and not go out. Again, his team is progressive and is not going to do anything to change this country, but keep us even farther apart.

Thanks for nothing

Mr. Cunningham, when are we going to remove all the plywood off our businesses? What a good way to scare off future prospects in the city of Waukegan and to get rid of what’s left of owner-occupied homes. Thank you, Mr. Mayor, for nothing.

Will they notice?

You’ve heard of the ant who challenged the elephant, right? Well, that’s me. I think Amazon has gotten too big and powerful. So I refuse to order anything from them. Do you think they’ll notice?
