Who’s hiding now?
Hey, remember back in March and April, all the Republicans were saying Joe Biden was hiding in his basement? Well, when the going gets really tough, Trumplicans, you know where you find your man Bone Spurs? In the basement of the White House, cowering like a little child in the corner.
That’s my right
Here we go again, folks. Get ready for another 150 days of masks and social distancing for the small people like you who read this newspaper and me. It’s not for the elite and the wealthy. Look at Ms. Pelosi. She got reelected as House speaker, and she’s forgotten about social distancing. That place was loaded with people, and people who weren’t wearing their masks when they were speaking. But it was OK because they’re the elite and the rich. They’re coming after the working class , man, because we’re refusing to wear masks. It is my right if I do not want to wear my mask. It is my right to go into the restaurant and be served. That is my right, people.
Get out
Hey, Trumplicans, your man lost. If you don’t like it and you say you’re going to leave, good. Get out. We don’t want you here anyway with your lame garbage.
Deserves a medal
I would like to nominate Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, for the Medal of Honor. He showed bravery and integrity for telling the truth and doing the right thing in the face of adversity.
Just one side
I hear Kevin McCarthy on television saying people from both sides. I looked at the TV, and from the time I started watching until now I haven’t seen one Biden sign. Not one. Let me repeat that. I have not seen one Biden sign.

Trumpty Dumpty built himself a wall, and Trumpty Dumpty had a great fall. All of his minions and Putin his friend can’t put Trumpty back on his throne again.
Heading for Russia?
Florida, New York, even Scotland do not want Trump there. So the only place that Trump, Ted Cruz and all his supporters are welcome is Moscow.
Mind your business
Some nanny called in to comment about a restaurant that might be open in Wadsworth based on the number of cars at a given time. Maybe they’re trying to keep from going broke and closing permanently. Get a life, and mind your own business.
Get a job
The people in Waukegan and the surrounding area: Are you aware that the Post Office is hiring? And they’re hiring a lot of people because a lot of people are retiring. There are openings. So why don’t you go ahead and apply.
Double standard
Democrats are calling for the resignation of U.S. Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois, a newly sworn in Republican, because she quoted Adolph Hitler at a rally outside the U.S. Capitol. She didn’t call anybody Hitler. She didn’t call Biden Hitler. She didn’t call Harris Hitler. She didn’t call any Democrat Hitler. She said, Hitler was right on one thing. He said whoever has the youth has the future. It shows a definite double-standard. If you’re a conservative, you get cancelled. If you’re a Democrat and you use the word Hitler, you get promoted. If you slander the conservatives, you’re a hero. But if you use a quote not even directed at somebody, you get canceled as a conservative. America’s great isn’t it?
