A different kind of unity

Joe Biden said when he became president that he was going to be the great unifier. Little did the American people know that the unification was going to be people unified against him. Over 70% of Republicans don’t like Joe Biden. Over 60% of independents don’t like him, and over 50% of Democrats don’t like him. So, I guess there’s unity. What we’re saying is everybody who voted for Joe Biden was a moron, and now they have buyer’s remorse because Joe Biden is not a unifier. He’s a divider, and so is every other Democrat in the United States.

Turn on your lights

As a resident living in Beach Park, I think it’s time that the state police do some patrols and try to eliminate the number of people driving around in early mornings, some still dark, with no headlights on. It’s ridiculous. It’s probably every fourth or fifth car that goes by. To me, it’s a real safety hazard and I don’t know what people are thinking about.

Let’s win it all

OK all you Republicans out there, we’ve got to do everything we can to win the midterms and they’re just around the corner. We’ve got a Democrat governor who knows nothing about being governor. He’s a spoiled snob who will do anything to win, who knows nothing about working. He’s a sniveling man, who’s never worked a day in his life and who’s always had a silver spoon in his mouth. Midterms are around the corner and we need Republicans to step up their game, which they’re pretty weak at this point, and start winning. What do you say, Republicans? Get out there and let’s win it all.

You’re my hero

Elon Musk, you’re my hero. You don’t get yourself washed into this garbage of Biden. You’re not politically involved with U.S. politics. I love you Musk. I love you and I wish I worked for your company.

You’re really sick

This is for the person who put in “I needed a good laugh”: If you think people getting murdered, and businesses being looted is a good laugh, buddy, you’re really sick. And, yeah, that happened while Republicans were in office, but not at the rate it’s going on now. Look at Chicago, setting records for how many people are killed. Isn’t that wonderful? All the high-end stores being looted by robbers, and on and on it goes. Stealing cars from people when they’re putting gas in them. I have to admit it happened before, but not at the rate it is now. Maybe you’ll get a good chuckle out of how many people died this year. That’s what you’re saying.

That’s what they deserve

I read inmates continue to face commissary shortages. Tough. Especially this lady who’s complaining for her husband, who’s serving 45 years because he killed somebody. He should have gotten the death penalty, and then we wouldn’t have to worry about him. Anybody in these prisons that killed somebody without reason, and it’s proven, should have gotten the death penalty. We’d empty half our prisons out. This is ridiculous. They don’t deserve anything special. They can get old books and papers. That’s it. Why are we supporting these people to learn? That’s not our problem. We’re not there to give them a college education or anything. They can go dig ditches or something. That’s what they deserve.

Welcome to Stupidville

Why does Waukegan have to do everything the hard way? Cannabis has been legally available in Illinois for years now. Do our officials get advice from Highwood or Mundelein, based on their successful experiences? How about a field trip to a successful cannabis business to see how it operates. Have any members of the City Council even been to a cannabis store? As usual, Waukegan has to reinvent the wheel for everything. Welcome to Stupidville.
