White is white

There was a story about a man who got a 12-year prison sentence for killing a man during a drug deal. Now, Rittenhouse killed two people, and almost killed three, and they’re not even talking about sentencing this man. Is it because he’s white? I’m white. But white is white, and wrong is wrong. They should put Rittenhouse in prison and throw away the key.

Gangs of Chicago

With Biden in office, the gangs in Chicago are only going to get worse. There are no jobs. There are supposed to be a lot of jobs, but there aren’t for the inner city. You know how they did that movie “Gangs of New York?” They should do “Gangs of Chicago.” Lightfoot still doesn’t seem to believe that gangs are the problem when that’s the whole problem.

More mobile home parks

Why aren’t there more mobile home parks, and why aren’t there more affordable mobile home parks? Mobile home parks probably are still a better alternative than an apartment without a garage. But it’s a very exorbitant amount.

Pants on fire

Shame, shame on these Democrats that high-tailed it out of Texas because they didn’t want to have to vote, and now they have COVID. As I recall, when they were all sitting there and they were laughing at the camera when they were on the news, smiling with their 12-pack of beer, they had stated that they were all vaccinated. Well, apparently some of them lied, didn’t they? Liars, liars, pants on fire.

Fight for democracy

The Jonah Goldberg opinion piece, “GOP’s voting right stance,” left out a few things. You left out that the poll watchers are not going to be bipartisan, that they’re only going to be GOP. You left out that the judges were only going to be Republican. You left out that people could be intimidating, watching people standing over their shoulder and taking pictures of what people are voting. And, most importantly, what you left out that in some of these states — like Wisconsin — if the Republicans don’t like the outcome and it doesn’t go for their guy, they can change the votes from Democrat to Republican so they win and stay in power. Our democracy is being fought for because of that exact reason.

Gold-digger

I laugh. You put on the front page about Zobrist’s wife seeking another $4 million from the divorce. I mean, how pathetic is that? She’s nothing but a gold-digger and you put that on the front page. I mean, who cares? Come on. That’s not really news. That’s just trying to get more money out of somebody. She’s going after what he made, of course. Don’t waste time and paper on something as stupid as that.

Misinformation

People who watch Fox News are more up to date and better informed than people who don’t. ABC, NBC and all the major networks are arms of the Democratic Party. So all of us who are in conservative land have to listen to misinformation. The major news networks are totalitarian and want to shut down opposing views.
