One big mistake

The latest poll numbers for President Biden are at 31%, which is a joke. We need Joe to go back to the basement. Let’s hope the midterms put more Republicans back in the House. We need help, and President Biden is not the answer. Vice President Kamala Harris’ approval rating is at 28%, which is awful. Americans now believe she should resign. We can do better. It was a mistake by Joe to put her in office. This sums up this administration — One big mistake.

I have an idea

I see now sleepy Joe Biden is harassing private business with vaccine mandates. Thankfully, the courts stepped in and properly functioning Republican states are suing the Biden administration for its overreaching power grab. I have an idea. Maybe if the three stooges of Joe Biden, J.B. Pritzker and Lori Lightfoot feel the need to harass individuals into getting the COVID vaccine, maybe they should force people getting government benefits to get a COVID vaccine or lose their benefits. They love the government stepping on the freedom and liberty of individuals, so why not? People on disability, welfare checks or food stamps, need to show proof of vaccination status, or get tested weekly, or no more checks. If you get your health care through Medicaid or Medicare, you need to get vaccinated or lose your health care coverage. Just a thought. I mean, if they can force businesses to comply, then why not people on the government dole?

Here is what you lose

Hey, American voters: Five years ago, Bone Spur asked the Black people of America, “What have you got to lose?” Well, now you know what you get to lose. You get to lose your right to vote.

In it for the money

Shameful, shameful, shameful, Republicans. You folks are all in it for yourselves individually, and you could care lastly about the people. You do not care about the people that voted you into your seats. And I jumped over from the Democrats to the Republicans? What a mistake. Does that mean I’m jumping back over to the Democratic side? They’re crazy. They’re idiots. They’re liberals. They’re socialists. A socialist regime and our Republicans are in it for the money only.

Go Brandon

Thank you, Biden administration. Gas prices are now up 62% from one year ago. Go, Brandon, go.

The wrong way to do things

Virginia used to be solid Democratic blue. Now, this state has turned Republican red. The people have spoken. Getting rid of the pipeline, open borders and the government telling us what to do apparently is the wrong way to do things.

Mad circle of racism

Whatever happened to society being freethinkers, instead of getting manipulated by groups and media? Come on folks, otherwise we’re never going to get out of this broken record. Same thing over and over and over again. Of course, everybody’s going to have their opinions, and the opinions matter to each and every individual. So be patient with people, and learn to coexist with other groups of people instead of laying the hammer on people for not thinking your way. That is the wrong way. So, let’s be a freethinking society, and I am emphasizing freethinking, and get along and get out of this mad circle of racism.
