Wake up already
I’d like to know when our representatives from the state of Illinois are going to get Pritzker under control, and stop all of this kingly stuff he thinks he is and put him in his place. For 500 days or more, this clown has ruled Illinois as if he’s the king. It’s time to take it out of his hands, and put it in the hands of the legislature where it belongs. Why don’t you Democrat, liberal people wake up already. Look what you’ve done to the state of Illinois.
How many deaths are acceptable?
Isn’t it interesting that when state government mandates masks for schools, Republicans cry that those decisions should be left up to local school boards. Yet, eight Republican states have a ban on mask mandates all together. It doesn’t sound like local control to me. Here’s what’s going to happen — children going back to school will get COVID, perhaps lots of them. Some of them will be hospitalized and some will die. How many deaths are acceptable to misinformed parents? A few hundred, a few thousand, or just maybe your son or daughter?

I’m calling in regarding a recent column by Cal Thomas touting the strength of governors DeSantis and Abbott for standing up against weenies while their states are the highest cases of infection of the COVID virus in the United States. Well, Cal Thomas may be so proud of these men for not being weenies, Cal Thomas is no more than a big sausage.
Stop listening
I think it’s time you get your facts straight. Ted Cruz and his family are all vaccinated, The majority of the people that are not vaccinated are from the minority community. If you check the facts, it was the liberal governors and mayors who rejected the vaccines when Trump was in office. They are the ones that had their heads up their rears. I suggest you quit listening exclusively to the liberal press.
Too many yokels
People keep pushing for the vaccine, and acting as if there are people that aren’t getting it and there probably are some. Statistics say that about 50% of the population has been vaccinated with at least one vaccine so far. Also saying that about 25% of the population has had the virus and recovered. Those that have had the virus and recovered actually had a stronger immune response to the virus than those who have been vaccinated. The false claims that it’s just Trumplingers that don’t want to get vaccinated is totally false because many of the people that I know that are Trump supporters have been vaccinated. Too many yokels listening to the mainstream media and believing everything they say.
Stop the bullying
What is it with Pritzker? I pray to God you do not get reelected as governor. You’re an awful governor, and the way you’re implementing the masks on people and in school is unethical. What you’re doing is illegal. You’re a bully and you’re a tyrant. No better than Biden. No better than Fauci. Stop the bullying, and I can’t believe that there are not more parents in the school system that are not standing up for their children’s rights. I have no children in the school system, but I have a feeling I will be one of those ex-parents that you’ll be seeing at the school board meetings.
