There are far worse monikers

An entry in Talk of the County had someone using the Bone Spurs moniker for Trump, who hasn’t been in office for over a year. It’s funny that Democrats in Talk of the County refer to President Donald Trump as Bone Spurs, when they elected a true bonehead in 2020. So from now on in Talk of the County, I suggest that all Republicans refer to President Biden as Bonehead because there are far worse monikers that will fit him, but we’ll just settle for that one.

Freedom matters

Fellow readers and contributors, we are now being told that potentially a benefit of the new Build Back stimulus may be many highway speed cameras, which will improve our safety, ignoring the fact that it will impact our choice and the speed of our mobility, plus millions in fines for our overlords. We have become a nation of sheep, with the farmer being state and federal government. The sheepdogs are the administrative, regulatory and enforcement arms of the administration. It’s not when Americans awake, but if. Freedom matters.

Only for the little people?

If you’re smart and you care about what’s going on around you, don’t vote Democrat. Isn’t it funny that every time we catch a Democrat, it’s always about a mask? Do they truly believe what they’re pushing? And yet they don’t believe it, or is it only for the little people?

Fair and balanced?

Hey guys, whatever happened to Fox News, fair and balanced? Remember that? Fair and balanced. Congratulations, Rupert Murdoch, you screwed that company up big time.

Big deal

One thing Pritzker did do is mandate this vaccine, and masking, and everything else. I think he’s the best we’ve had for that. I don’t think anybody should have the right to tell a school that they shouldn’t mask. I mean, it’s the kids. One kid gets sick, they’re all down. So, nobody in the state has the right — no judge, no jury, no nothing — has the right to tell them any different, in my opinion. Every state in the United States, which we are not anymore, should be mandated to get the vaccine and wear masks, whether they like it or not. And if they don’t get it, they get no benefits, no federal funding, no jobs, no nothing. No unemployment. It’s time we got back to normalcy in this country, so we can get on with our lives. It’s a shot. Big deal.

Judges not doing their jobs

These judges in this country don’t do their jobs. Here we’ve got Pritzker trying to stop this COVID with the mandates for now in the schools until we get rid of this COVID. But then you’ve got a judge that rules against the school mandates. So, you’ve got the judge in the Rittenhouse case that lets the killer loose, and you’ve got the judge in this mandate case that’s going to let people get killed because of her ignorance. I don’t know.
