Cracking the whip

Have Amazon employees thought about quitting Amazon? Here you have Jeff Bezos trying to fly off into space, spending and wasting millions of dollars to take a joyride, when he should be paying his employees better health care, better benefits and better salaries. No, instead he’s cracking the whip and not giving them better benefits. People, quit your jobs at Amazon because this man is making himself wealthier while you barely have enough to make a living doing what you’re doing for him. Let’s reverse the roles, people. Without you, he wouldn’t have a company. He wouldn’t think twice about putting robots in there and getting rid of you.

Vote the man out

Mr. Pritzker has made the state of Illinois the state of freebies, giving it all away. He’s continuing to give away unemployment, extended unemployment, a moratorium for freeloaders to live in an apartment. How much more do we need from Pritzker? Let’s vote the man out. He has done nothing to bring up the state of Illinois. Come on, be for real folks. What has he done for the state of Illinois? Nothing.

Grow up

Really smart how the Democrats continue to blame Trump for the rise of the variant now? When are they going to grow up?

Get rid of her

It looks like Nancy Pelosi is at it again. Her committee will include Liz Cheney, who despises and hates Trump. It looks like we have another setup, and this is just another political play, another piece of paper. And you know it’s going to be another setup. More money off of the taxpayers’ back. She still wants to show she has power. It’s time to get rid of Nancy Pelosi and Liz Cheney. I thought the Republicans got rid of her and she’s still there.

Things change

I see that clown, Cal Thomas, wrote an article the other day complaining that Dr. Fauci made statements months ago that they were ineffective. Hey, Mr. Cal Thomas, as information is gathered and we learn more and more about this disease, guidance is going to change also. Evidently Cal Thomas can’t grasp that. I would hope and I’m so grateful that what I learn today is just for today. It may change tomorrow, it may change next week or next month.

Wearing a Republican robe

I called into Talk of the County like three or four weeks ago and said that the reason Nancy Pelosi would allow Liz Cheney on the Jan. 6 commission is that Liz Cheney is really a Democrat wearing a Republican robe around her while she dismantles the Republican Party. Nancy Pelosi proved it when the five members were submitted from the Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and Pelosi vetoed two of them. The two she vetoed are the two that are most likely to ask incriminating questions that Pelosi doesn’t want to answer. So, it just goes to prove that Democrats play politics in everything. She’s not looking for the truth, she’s looking for an insurrection by Democrats. They’re using a false insurrection to take over America and to stifle anyone who doesn’t agree with them.

Dragging their feet

Once again Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are trying to use the media to persuade people in America that Republicans are dragging their feet on infrastructure. The Republicans don’t want to vote on the infrastructure bill because the Democrats don’t have it set in writing yet. Remember, it was Nancy Pelosi who said we have to pass the bill to see what’s in it when the Obamacare legislation came out.
