Unqualified, uncaring, egomaniac
I read with pure delight the comments in Talk of the County from die-hard Trumpsters who are so upset about Biden. Did you not worry every day when Trump — that dangerously unqualified, uncaring, egomaniac — was president, wondering what more he could do to endanger the safety of this country and it’s citizens? Trump had little interest in doing the job as president. He did though quickly learn how to use hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to pay for many golf trips to his resorts and use his position to bolster his businesses and family members. Trump lost the popular vote in two presidential elections, first by 3,000,000 and secondly 7,000,000, and he is still ranting and raving over the fact that he is a loser. Trump proudly promotes division in this country, which is dangerously tragic. His title when in office should have been president of the divided states. My fellow citizens, you are being taken in by a con man, and you don’t even see it.
Look around and pay attention
This is to the oblivious person who said that Waukegan public relations doesn’t do anything: Not only have I seen each of those two people around town putting up signs about events beforehand, and working during Art Wauk and other city events, there is a calendar on the website with all of the event information. Maybe you should look around and pay attention. Here’s the link for those of you who don’t know the city’s website: https://www.waukeganil.gov/calendar.aspx?CID=14
Time to learn Mandarin
How unfortunate it is that we are in anti-military Obama 2.0 with weak, myopic Biden in office. He is blinded by the tunnel vision of the identity politics weeding out the military and the shadowy threat of cyclical weather patterns, while China is greatly exceeding our military capabilities. An example is that China is not present at the big meeting of world leaders in Scotland. China recognizes that they are in a hot war with the United States, and even the world, while the USA is blindly staring at her navel. China is coming for us, and won’t give a hoot if we are woke or not. Now is the time to download the translator app for Mandarin. You may need it.
Mindless morons
I wholeheartedly agree with Charles Selle when he says in his article about the gun violence that something needs to change. Throwing money at the problem, however, is nothing more than a Band-Aid solution. The decision to fire multiple rounds in a neighborhood is something that we normal people cannot understand. One of those rounds flew through our living room and missed my wife by inches. Another missed my neighbors’ little children by a few feet. Someone who deliberately sprays bullets, without regard for the consequences, is not going to be stopped by providing, “more state funding for community groups which have been battling the problem.” The only solution will require a cultural shift. Members of all ethnic groups — whites, Blacks, and Hispanics — must finally decide that they will not tolerate the deaths and injuries being inflicted by these mindless morons. The problem could be ended quickly, and economically, by a few well-placed calls to anonymous tip lines or local authorities to get these killers off of our streets. Until people finally step up and do the right thing, nothing much is going to change.
Maybe signs would help the uniformed
People, I sat at a stop light at Crescent and Green Bay Road through what should have been several changes. The first car did not sit up far enough to set off the sensor. People, please be aware that you cannot sit back a whole car length and expect it to work. Maybe signs would help the uninformed. Just saying.

Regarding the infrastructure bill, just remember this is just the start. It will look like a good thing, but remember what it will cost. If the other bill passes, just remember that the Illegals and those who will take vs. give back to America will benefit, not you. And remember those getting a payment for being separated at the border, we know it won’t be $450,000 but it will be something. What will you as an American get? You voted for this.
