Get facts straight: Many things have been manipulated to make it look like Biden is responsible. The price of gas is not because of a canceled pipe line meant for exporting oil. People refusing to get vaccinated wasn’t his failure – “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.” As we recover from the effects of the COVID economy, the experienced inflation is not the result of government policies. Face the facts, the blame game is an excuse to ignore the facts.
Santa’s a Republican? Rumor has it that Santa recently sold his sleigh, laid off all the elves and retired to a warmer locale. Although there’s been no official word, those close to the aging philanthropist said he was despondent over mask mandates, the unionization of his work force and a growing fear that socialism was creeping ever closer to the North Pole. Who knew Mr. Claus was a Republican?
Pritzker for president: I heard they’re pushing Pritzker to run for president in 2022. Just what are his qualifications? Being the governor of a state that’s probably the brokest in the country or being the governor of state with a city that has the most crime, murders, car jackings, robberies, and smash and grabs? Those are excellent reasons for him to run for president. Then we’ll have the whole country like the state of Illinois.

After decades of scientific study extolling the harmful effects of smoking, people continue to smoke. It may not be countrywide, but many public and private places do not allow indoor smoking on their premises. Let’s adopt a similar policy and require proof of vaccination to gain entry into indoor facilities where practicable.
‘Die Hard’ is fiction: To the person who wrote about “Die Hard,” it is a movie. The characters are fictional. I would suggest that you not base your opinions on what you see in movies or on Fox News.
Amateur vs. pro liar: Jussie Smollett is an amateur liar compared to Donald Trump. One down, one to go.
Dollar Tree name change: I’m questioning the Dollar Tree. Everything is $1.25 there. Are they going to rename it the $1.25 tree?
