Get to school
I’d like to call about that bridge in Long Grove where the bridge has been hit 13 times since it reopened. I cannot believe those people are that dumb that they don’t put up concrete barriers so that the only thing that can get by is a car instead of a truck, or a bus, or something. But, somebody better get to school and learn that.
Piece of work
This guy Lindsey Graham, ain’t he a piece of work?
No difference
I am very aware of, and saddened by, the racial inequality in this country. But I am white, and cannot walk in other people’s shoes. That said, I do not think changing the name of a school will make a difference in promoting equality. Thomas Jefferson was one of the greatest minds in the U.S. presidency. He wrote the Declaration of Independence, which gives us the tools to affect real change.
Release all teachers
You can vaccinate all the teachers in Illinois, and it wouldn’t be enough. These teachers right now care about them only, and it won’t be enough. If you give them the vaccine, they’re going to request more money. How much further do you let them go? I say release them from their jobs, and hire teachers that actually want to teach the children or put the children first for a change. Stop using the children as your shield.
Bullied by unions
Stop blaming Trump for everything that’s going on in 2021. This includes what’s going on in Chicago, and the schools not opening. Lori Lightfoot, you should be ashamed of yourself. Be the woman that you are and take responsibility, and stop being bullied by the unions.
Don’t back down
Hello, Lake County, Illinois and the whole world. I love me some Nancy Pelosi. She’s another Rosa Parks. Stand up, Nancy. Don’t back down from these devils.
Nice nomination

Black Lives Matter has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. This is so eye-awakening for a movement to be noticed around the world. I am so grateful for and honored by Mr. Clyde McLemore, who’s’ the founder and executive director to the Lake County chapter, and the many chapters here in Illinois and Wisconsin. He has done a lot of work, and we didn’t believe that he would do it, but he has kept a lot of marches peaceful. I just want to say congratulations for even being nominated.
