Jumping for joy
I love soccer, and I love men’s soccer. I’m a female who just loves seeing the U.S. women’s soccer team lose. I loved it. I was jumping for joy.
Liberal hell
Violence in America is out of control, and we have these left-wing politicians that feel it’s OK. I am tired of it. I’m tired of defunding the police, and police not getting the help. I’m tired of the police not being defended by our politicians. Why are we paying taxes to these politicians if they’re not doing their job? Take away their salaries, and we’ll see if they don’t change their mind. This is a liberal hell and we need to get this country back on track. If the young people don’t like it, they can figure out a different place to live. This is ridiculous that we have given them a free for all.
Hire locally
I’m calling about the library board at the Waukegan Public Library. I think it’s time that we select a director locally. Why spend thousands of dollars to pay a firm to find someone? And what is going on at the library? Let’s have some publicity? They have used book sales. Let’s get compact discs back. Let’s get discs you know, recordings and VCR tapes back, and good books that people can look at and buy. And how about magazines? People still want to read magazines like National Geographic. Let’s get the library up. Forget about these modern things only. Let’s do things that kids need, things that regular adults need. The library is so important to this city, and every city in America and the world.
Wrong
If you want more lockdowns then continue to vote for Pritzker. I don’t understand what is it about Pritzker that people like. I don’t understand. He’s a first-time politician, one of the wealthiest people in Illinois and you’re telling me that he’s the right guy for Illinois? Wrong.

Not self-made
No one is a self-made billionaire. Christians believe that God has given them the things that they needed for their success. Even if not a Christian, their parents gave them life. Workers who work for them and people who use their products and business help make them rich. They can go into space on our dime because they pay little or no income tax, and they give to charities because they can claim it as a deduction on the taxes that they already don’t pay. So, when they start paying their fair share of their taxes past, present and future, then I think that they deserve notoriety. Other than that, to me, going into space for a few minutes is just for their pleasure, and they’re getting it on somebody else’s dime.
No way out
COVID has left many, many people with PTSD, and they’re going to require tons of medical help. The more you put COVID news out there, the more people are not going to recover — and not from COVID itself, but from the mental state that they’re in. It’s like anything else, they now have a mental disability regarding COVID. PTSD comes in different forms and because our government cannot seem to find a way out. They used it to their benefit, and now they have made our people mentally ill. I don’t see a way out of it.
Hands off
It looks like our country, the great United States of America, will be no better than the government in China. It’s very funny because now we have our governor of Illinois putting his greedy little fingers into our private schools, mandating masks for our children. He has no business in our private sector, forcing our children to wear masks. I bet this man does not wear his mask 24-7, nor his wife and children. I’d like to see him have a camera on him 24/7.
