Putin doesn’t fear U.S.: Secretary of State Blinken and the Biden administration have warned Russia to stay away from Ukraine. Blinken, aka one of Santa’s faithful reindeers, said that failure to heed this warning will lead to serious consequences. I wonder if Putin’s trembling in fear or uncontrollably laughing?
Prosecute Kim Foxx next: Now that Jussie Smollett has been found guilty, what is going to happen to Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx? She should be brought up for dereliction of duty.
Enjoy jail, Jussie: The final curtain has closed in on scam “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett. Hopefully soon he will be going to jail so he can meet new friends for his despicable hoax hate crime from January 2019. He also should be forced to pay back the city of Chicago $130,000 for police detective overtime work.
No holidays for you! If the school (employees) don’t want to participate in federal holidays that they are given time off for then you should get back in the school and start teaching kids and you forfeit your holiday. If you don’t want to celebrate Christmas, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, New Year’s Eve, Memorial Day, Labor Day, like we’ve always done in the past, you forfeit those holidays. None of this baloney about schools saying they need to be inclusive.
Death penalty for theft? The biggest mistake this state ever did was doing away with the death penalty. These people who are stealing should be prosecuted. Period.
Too many ads at movies: I went to the movies a couple of weeks ago. I sat through 20 minutes of movie previews and commercials. I don’t mind seeing a couple of movie previews, but the commercials were ridiculous. State Farm, Chevrolet, Facebook, Coca Cola, Liberty Mutual. Ridiculous.
Here’s a thought: Mr. Dan Webb for Cook County State’s Attorney.
Retired workers happy: People are leaving their jobs and loving it. I wish I had the opportunity people have today when I started out working at various factory jobs and hated getting up every morning. In today’s market, the workers are in charge. They are making more money but spending more because of the cost of living. But to look on the good side, they are happier, and you can’t put a price tag on that.
