That kid needs to be sent away
More Top Picks Best Sensory Tents For Autism
Reading about that little twerp Kyle Rittenhouse makes my blood boil. His lawyers will do anything to get that little creep off from the murders he committed in Kenosha. Appalling that the judge in that trial has said that the men that were killed can’t be called “victims.” Instead they can only be called “looters and rioters,” neither of which can be proved, by the way. When they were killed, they were running down the street. Rittenhouse had no business being in Kenosha that night, with an illegal gun that was illegal for him to even have. Self-defense? Don’t make me laugh. He had a gun. One of the victims had a skateboard. Good luck finding a jury that can be “impartial.” That kid needs to be sent away for a long, long time. No wonder there is no respect for the law anymore. You can get away with anything. Do not give this kid any more publicity to solicit sympathy. Just give us a verdict of guilty of murder.
Get a grip
I keep reading about all these schools wanting more money, like Warren Township, but I wouldn’t give any more money to them because they don’t put it toward education or the building. They put it toward the sports. I was at a high school yesterday for one of my grandsons and I could not believe the sports section. The football field was unbelievable. It was like a pro football field, with bleachers, stands and the AstroTurf. It was unbelievable, and the rest of the property was nothing but about sports — from baseball, to soccer, to everything. The building looked like a shed on the property compared to the sports. We need to get away from the sports as far as I’m concerned, because it’s costing taxpayers way too much money. It’s supposed to be about schooling, not sports. That’s why our kids don’t learn anything. There’s senior citizens out there that can’t even afford their taxes, and yet you want them to pay for all the sports? Get a grip. If you want to put your kids in school, then you pay for it. Nobody should have to pay for your children.
Nailed it
I read a Wall Street Journal article about groupthink, and it sounded exactly like the Biden administration. Groupthink — a tightly knit and overconfident set of decision-makers form an insular echo chamber, fail to see the big picture and make disastrous decisions. Nailed it.
Despicable Democrats
Election season is upon us once again. This year, it will be the deplorables versus the despicables. Remember, it was Hillary Clinton running for president who labeled half of Americans deplorables. Now they just call us terrorist extremists, while she personally orchestrated the Russia collusion hoax and paid for it with the Democratic National Committee money. If you desire a competent government over constant chaos and cancel culture, vote for anyone but a despicable Democrat.
Lord have mercy on us
Remember the horror of the Holocaust so that it will never happen again. Well, it is happening again. Only now it is called abortion. What kind of society do we live in? Lord, have mercy on us. Amen.
Good ol’ boy gang
What is Eric Rinehart really doing? He did all this talking about what changes he was going to do in the Lake County state’s attorney’s office, and he’s just a part of the good ol’ boy gang, and we really need to get rid of him. Just because they look like us doesn’t mean like they act like us. He’s not seeking justice. No way in the world he should still be debating on the Marcellis Stinnette killing.
