Slap on the hand
I’m glad to see Smollett got convicted. Now let’s see what kind of sentencing he gets. They said he might just get a slap on the hand, but he needs to get many years in prison for what he did because he did a hateful race crime himself. Kim Foxx should be kicked out of office. She’s a disgrace. She didn’t do her job, and she caused all this.
Chicago is spoiled
Forget about Chicago. Forget about it. I haven’t gone to Chicago in years because Chicago has been going down the tubes for a long time. It has just now become evident, and now the proof is in the pudding. And now there’s no coming back. Lori Lightfoot has been a total loss. She’s done nothing. Foxx has done nothing, and that’s quite evident. Nobody’s done anything. You get people that have followed the law there, and they’re the ones that get the little tickets. Then the thugs that continue to be thugs are the ones that have bails that are so little they get released. Somebody else releases them. So there’s something in Chicago that is going on, and Chicago is spoiled.
They are pigs
Well, here we go again with people driving on Shagbark throwing garbage out. I don’t know why people must throw their garbage out on the road. They are pigs. There’s no other description. Apparently their parents never raised them to do what is correct. I know no one will pay attention to this, but I have to let it out. They expect an old lady to pick up their trash. Shame on the drivers having no respect for anyone.
Do something
Mayor of Waukegan: What are you going to do with all the violence that is being done in Waukegan? We’ve had carjackings like in Chicago, like there’s no tomorrow. We’ve had shootings like in Chicago. We’re looking like little Chicago. Mayor, you are wearing a halo now with this new casino that Waukegan has been chosen for. You can’t be wearing a halo when you have all this violence going on around the city. Do something, mayor. Do something.
Let them die
I say we’ve been preaching and preaching about the shots and the vaccines long enough. If the conservatives don’t want to get a shot, don’t make them get a shot. Tell them if they get sick, don’t go to the hospital. You stay home. If you die, too bad. Don’t come crying and whining to us later on, none of the family members. Just let them die. Let it go. Just be quiet. If they’re going to take it, they’re going to take it. If they’re not, they’re not. Let them die. It’s their right.
