The dummy in the White House
I see that the dummy in the White House is claiming a great job he did getting all these people out of Afghanistan. He caused the death of 13 American soldiers, and he’s claiming a great victory? He’s living in a different world than real people, and I hope every one of you liberals that voted for the jerk are happy.
Come on, man
If people don’t have to pay rent, that means we shouldn’t have to pay taxes either, right? We get like a tax break for next year? No taxes for a year, is that it? Is that the ticket? Because I just wonder what is everybody doing? If nobody pays rent, how do you pay that property tax? Let’s give everybody a break for a year. Come on, man.
Part of his plan
Biden and his peanut gallery dropped the ball, and people that don’t see that, you are part of that problem. You have abandoned the American and our great nation. We are no longer that great nation that once stood. Biden and his peanut gallery have crushed this country, and you people can’t see it. He sold us out, folks. He sold this country out. He left all that military equipment, that was part of his plan. He left it there for the Afghans on purpose. If you don’t see that plan, that is how blind you folks are. That was part of the plan, to leave it to the Afghanis for their use. Billions of dollars.
Mighty fine
Right now, Bone Spurs would look mighty fine as president of the United States. This goes to the author of all the Bone Spur entries he’s written in Talk of the County.
Problem solved
People are fussing about the cost of the library for Obama and where to put it. I think we should get him a bookmobile. It’s cheaper, and you can drive it around so everyone can enjoy it. Problem solved.
They should have done more
This is in regard to the homeless in Waukegan. I had an incident that happened the other evening, and I don’t understand why the police don’t do more about it. At 4:53 in the morning, I woke to the screaming and yelling of a person. I had my window open. I looked outside and there was a man sitting with what I guess were all his belongings — bags and boxes — and he was yelling and going on and on and on. And I didn’t know if he was hurt because he was laying there, and he was rolling in the grass. So I did call non-emergency police and I told them that I think someone might come and look and see. It took them eight minutes to come. They got out of the car. Two different police officers, two different cars. They talked to him about four or five minutes and they left. I laid down to go back to bed. The man started yelling and screaming again and, doing all kinds of things — throwing stuff and just kept me up. I don’t understand why the police didn’t tell him to move on. He was disturbing the peace. I think they should have done more.
Run the numbers
This is in regard to Social Security and Medicare running out of benefits. First of all, it’s not a benefit that the government gives us. We’ve worked for it. And, why don’t they report how many people died who were getting Social Security? What are the numbers of that? It always seems like Social Security is running out of money because of Baby Boomers retiring. What about all of the people, the Baby Boomers too, that are dying every second, every hour in the United States? I’ve never see any numbers reported on that.
