Get it over with

Why can’t these Supreme Court justices get off their derrieres and settle whether Bone Spur has executive privilege or not, instead of dragging this out for two or three years. Tell those people to do their jobs instead of sitting around with their robes on. Tell them to decide this thing, and get it over with.

Who’s the genius?

I just found out that Waukegan passed an ordinance that affects all slot players. The new ordinance says that every time you push the button on a machine you owe a penny. So, I find this hard to believe that Waukegan would do such an asinine thing. They’re going to have to hire one person for every machine in the Waukegan area to stand behind the machine so they can keep track of how many times they push the button. I doubt whether they’re going to collect a heck of a lot of money after this. So, good luck, Waukegan.

Lots of shots

Hey guys, let’s talk about shots. Boy, I’m 81 years old. I’ve got the two Pfizer shots, the first and second, and also I got the booster. Then I got the two pneumonia shots, a year apart. That’s five shots. Lots of shots. Then I got the flu shot, that’s another shot. Boy, there are shots everywhere. And on top of that I’m thinking very seriously that I need four or five Jack Daniel liquid shots. And can you imagine that, my life will be so good as long as I deal with the shots.

Stop it already

Now you have people wanting people to pay for their own COVID testing in order to continue to work in their positions. Does that mean that people that are obese should submit to year-round testing? People that are smokers; people that are alcoholics? People that have mental issues, make sure you are taking your pills now. There’s a variety of issues out there that I think are problems. Now, should you be paying for all those extra, or do you think that our government should be paying for that? Come on folks, we have to stop somewhere. Stop it already.

America first

Let Ukraine handle its own problems and America, we need to handle our own stuff. We’ve got a lot of issues that we need to handle and if you’re an American, we handle our own. So, Ukraine, if you’re living in America and you’re an American, let’s worry about America first before you worry about Ukraine. That goes for Mexico, too. We’ve got to worry about America before we worry about Mexico. And I’ve always taken the side of America first before I go and worry about another country. That’s just how it works, people. It doesn’t mean I don’t care for any other country. It’s just that we’ve got to put America first before anything else.

Stop printing anti-vax comments

Hey Lake County News-Sun: Stop putting these anti-vax comments in the Talk of the County. There are people that will believe that.
