.Tears haven’t stopped
Tears haven’t stopped flowing upon hearing a true American. Mike Pence made his statements on the news about not seizing voting machines. Regardless of his party, he is a true American, following the Constitution. Thank you for doing the work you were elected to do.
Flag over party
Sorry, if you believe the lies that most of the Fox hosts spew, then you are not a patriot. I do appreciate your service to the USA I watch Fox, CNN, MSNBC, local networks, read many online sources, and then formulate my opinions on what is true. Several Fox hosts have deep personal connections with Donald Trump and his family. They are very biased. This is proven over and over again with their unwillingness to report on negative findings from the Jan. 6 bipartisan committee. By the way, Kinzinger and Cheney voted with Trump 90%+ of the time and are labeled as traitors. But I would label them as patriots who want the discover the truth. Flag over party as patriots should say.
Stop the hypocrisy
Now that the Bulls and the Blackhawks announce they want to sleep with gamblers in a sportsbook in the United Center, can the Cubs and Sox be far behind? And isn’t time to stop the hypocrisy and let Pete Rose enter the Baseball Hall of Fame?
Full of deception
Even if our weak government will not boycott the Chinese Winter Olympics, each individual can refuse to watch all the programs. If any country was the evil empire, it is China. That is the nation that brought us a worldwide pandemic, steals our trade secrets, corrupts our universities, politicians, news media, etc. Do not be mesmerized by their words that sound right, but are full of deception.
Worry about yourself
Yes, women have crossed state lines to come here to have an abortion. It did increase 29% in 2020, but surely due to other states making it difficult or impossible to get one, as well as the COVID situation. Any state dictating a woman’s right to manage her own health decisions has a dictatorship mentality. No wonder they’re crossing state lines. We are not the only state with this issue. I personally don’t agree with abortion, but I am totally for a woman’s right to do so. Women have been fighting for their rights for decades, even the right to vote and for equal pay. Will they try and take those away next? Good grief, stop trying to control our lives and our bodies, and worry about yourself.
What are they hiding?
The Republican National Party has declared the Jan. 6 insurrection “legitimate political discourse.” If this is true, why are people ignoring subpoenas to discuss it? Why break the law to avoid testifying on your legal discourse? What, exactly, is everyone hiding?
