Supporter beware: To all you Trump supporters, you are lining this guy’s pockets with all this money for his legal battles. But keep in mind he only has to spend 25% of that money on legal battles. He can do whatever he wants to do with the rest of it. You know he’s a crook. You are giving your money to a crook. He is laughing at you all the way to the bank.
State budget questions: I think it’s pathetic what Gov. Pritzker is doing to Illinois. He’s going to cut public aid, jobs and other things. What’s he doing with the money from marijuana sales? What is he doing with taxpayer money? He’s going to cut things for seniors. It makes me sick.
Swalwell and the alleged spy: I know left-wing radical crackpots don’t like listening to Fox News because they are afraid of learning the truth. It seems to be the only news media covering the story about (U.S. Rep. Eric) Swalwell consorting with and sleeping with a possible Chinese spy who has now disappeared. Republicans are demanding he be removed from the intelligence committee he’s on, but Nancy Pelosi refuses to do that. Who knows how much this Chinese gal learned and is taking back to her country to harm us?

Lunacy must stop: What the heck is wrong with these Republicans? Donald Trump has half of them scared and the other half crazy. You’re telling Jill Biden to take the doctor’s title off her name, something she worked hard to get. Is that all you have to worry about? This is on the verge of damn lunacy. We have to pull this country together. We have to stop all this crazy nonsense from the Republican party. I’m not saying the Democrats are better, but most of the Republican party is acting like a teenage kid.
Environmental concerns: Here it is, the morning of Dec. 16., and it’s dry as a bone out, but South Elgin is spraying their de-icing chemicals all over the roads. We are all worried about the environment, the Earth and pollution except when the government does something. When they burn off the (growth around) retention areas and cause massive amounts of smoke in the air, it’s OK. When anyone else does anything, it’s a big crisis.
