Double standard
President Trump does not believe in immigration, immigrants and DACA. But what a coincidence, he’s brought over his in-laws from a foreign country. His wife is from Slovenia. And he bought them a house in Maryland. He doesn’t believe in immigrants coming over. Of course, two of his three wives were immigrants. They weren’t American citizens.
Time to revolt
My fellow American citizens, the only thing our brilliant Founding Fathers omitted in our system of checks and balances was the inclusion of term limits for elected officials, not envisioning a permanent political class. But I digress. Being a young man raised by the so-called “Greatest Generation,” I have seen this country completely change in my lifetime. Despite some obvious injustices, you were promised if you worked hard and stayed on the straight and narrow, you may have a successful life filled with opportunity. This stimulus bill as passed again reflects how far we have gone down the rabbit hole. On every level it is monstrous, egregious and treasonous. Our politicians, media, academics and the wealthy movers and shakers have sold out our country — it’s promise and premise. It’s time to again revolt.
Excessive force is real

This is in response to “Thanks to local police”: How in the world do you say you don’t believe in the term “excessive force” when police are shooting unarmed people riding down the street in a car as a passenger? Excessive force goes on all over this country. Waukegan police officers are all wearing “Blue lives matter” masks. If you look, every white police officer has a “Blue lives matter” mask. That is not right.
Ugly solar grids
Do you really think these electrical solar grids are going to make a difference in your electric bill? You’re not going to see the difference for 15 to 20 years. Do you plan on living in your home for 20 years? I don’t think so. On top of that, the houses are looking ugly. So these solar grids are ugly. You’re not going to see a change in your electric bill, so why do you put them up? Answer me that.
Abide by rules you make
I just saw Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, on the news telling everyone in his most concerned face look that there’s a new strain of coronavirus that’s hit California and they’re basically going to have to close everything. So this weekend you can expect to find Gavin Newsom and medical personnel partying with no masks on and sitting six inches away from each other. So it’s good to be a Democrat, because you don’t have to abide by the rules that you make for everybody else. You can continue to get a paycheck every day so you don’t feel the pain of losing your income the entire time that you’re making other people stay at home. Great job, Democrats.
