They deserve it

It’s been too long since we’ve seen what can happen to despots in this world. Nothing would please me more than to see Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin receive the same justice that Saddam Hussein and Moammar Gadhafi received. They deserve it just as those other men.

Her word is not her bond

Ann Taylor has failed Waukegan’s citizens. She’s been under scrutiny with several lawsuits. Now we have this latest case with this 15-year-old kid getting arrested. I am calling for Mayor Ann Taylor to resign. She’s a disgrace to Waukegan and the citizens, the taxpayers. And she’s not showing her transparency as she said she’d do when she ran for the office. I voted for her, but I am now asking for her to resign. Her word is not her bond.

I wonder why

Geez, what a thought. Move your cars into your driveway when you know the snow is going to be falling. And let’s not play ignorant, and say you didn’t know. Well, now our snowplow drivers have to go around your cars, and you’re usually the first big mouth to start crying that you can’t get your car out of the mound of snow. Well, I wonder why. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

That’s who’s helping

To the individual who wanted to cut the head off the top while helping Ukraine: NATO and all of the free Democratic countries in Europe are with us to try to stop Russia and Putin from taking over Ukraine. So, if you’re wondering who’s supposed to be helping, that’s who’s helping. All the European nations.

On sale now

Remember about 30 or 40 years ago when the WWJD bracelets were available. And when you came up to a decision, you had to ask yourself what would Jesus do? Well, exclusively here in Talk of the County, I am offering anybody who sends me $100, the new WWBD bracelets. It’s what would Biden do? And the thing is when you wear one, you show the world that you ask yourself what would Biden do? And then you do the exact opposite, and 98.7% of the time you’ll be correct.

House of cards

The latest tribute to Donald Trump predictably contained superlatives, misinformation and revisionist history. Donald’s greatest economy ever benefited wealthy corporations, millionaires and billionaires over ordinary citizens. Donald’s greatest economy added $7 trillion to the deficit in just four years. That was something no Republican objected to until a Democrat occupied the White House and Donald’s economy crumbled like the house of cards after a disastrous response to the pandemic. He worried more about his reelection than the health and safety of America.
