Didn’t know whether to laugh or cry
Upon reading the lengthy diatribe entitled “You own this,” I felt sorry for the person that wrote those comments. I didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry until I got to the very bottom and I read that if we hadn’t heard about this, we should seriously tune into Fox News because they’re the only ones who will tell us what’s really going on. That explains this individual’s perception of the world.
Ben Franklin says you’re a fool
A contributor wrote in thoughts and prayers for anti-mask, ant-vax, anti-mandate people, wishing that they would basically die. So, if you’re anti-mask, ant-vax and anti-mandate, that means that you are pro-freedom. Ben Franklin stated that those who give up freedom for safety deserve neither. So Ben calls the thoughts and prayers contributor a fool.
Here’s the key
Terry McAulliffe ran against Glenn Youngkin in Virginia, and the reason that McAuliffe lost is because he’s a liar. He said that parents shouldn’t have control of their kids in schools, and shouldn’t allow them to set the curriculum, which is totally asinine. That’s why he lost. And then he also said that when it came out that there was diversity, equity and inclusion in the schools teaching critical race theory, he lied and said they aren’t doing it. Here’s the key — if your city, town or county has diversity, equity and inclusion, people on the staff or in your high school or on the board of education, you know that they are lying to you because equity is just another word for redistribution of wealth. The equity people want to make everything fair, and they want to take all the money from the good-decision people and give it to the people they feel were slighted in some way, shape or form.
Not going to happen
Some county health department official seems to think that people will get vaccinated when they bring their children in to get their shots. I’m not sure what kind of thinking this is. Those adults who have not been vaccinated are not about to get their children vaccinated.
I find it doubtful
To the doofus who thinks Fox News has the only credible news: Dude, do you really think Fox News is the only one who has the truth? All of the other stations, you think, are lying? All the rest of the media is lying, and only Fox News has the truth? Do you really honestly believe that in your brain? I find it doubtful.
That was uncalled for
I’ve got to tell you, I have a little insight on stuff at the city of Waukegan, and that person who put in that thing about the public relations department, saying that they weren’t putting anything out there — obviously it’s a person that has no internet, because everything is posted all the time and the two people working there are busy seven days a week setting things up. That truly got me because I’ll tell you, there’s a lot of things I don’t like in politics, but that was uncalled for.
