Perfect storm
Wind and solar combine for about 5% of America’s electrical output or energy supply. The rest, 95% of our supply, comes from fossil fuels and gas, and about 50% of the stuff that’s made in America is made because of petroleum products. That would be oil and gas. So, the bad news is that all the leftists — President Obama, President Biden and all their acolytes — want to run the gas people out of business. These high prices for gas? This is just another perfect storm for the Democrats. They used COVID to keep us in our houses, put us under lock and key and take away our freedoms, and now they’re using every avenue possible to make gas prices go up. Biden and Obama and his acolytes, they have everything under control. This is exactly what they want. They’re hoping to get everyone back into the cities where they can control you.

Got off easy
I blame a lot of what went on with Jussie Smollett on Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx. She did not do her job properly. And what this judge did, I thought, was menial. Just 150 days in regular, everyday jail? He didn’t go to prison, folks. He went to jail. And people are all upset about that. He shouldn’t have done what he did.
Leave the police alone
I see that Lake County is starting two anti-violence programs. And this is being paid by some grant. But who’s going to continue paying the coordinator? What we need to do is get more money to the police to do their jobs, and let them do their jobs. Leave the police alone. Maybe we ought to go after the judges who are gutless, and make them give out fines and sentences that will deter people from doing it again. Leave the police alone. They do their jobs, and then the judges let them loose. Quite spending money on anti-violence programs. They’re a joke.
Absolutely bananas
This is going to get to be real fun by 2024. Bone Spur by then will be a convicted felon, so he won’t be able to run for office and he will have a $100 million war chest that he won’t be able to spend on anything, except a little bit of politics. That will drive him crazy, that $100 million that he can’t touch unless he spends it on political stuff. That will drive him absolutely bananas.
Such a disgrace
To all the businesses and residents, please remove and replace the worn and torn American flags that you’re flying. It’s such a disgrace. You can take it to the VFW in Waukegan, or Winthrop Harbor, or the American Legion in Gurnee, and they will dispose of it properly. God Bless America.
Yahoo
Obama has COVID. Yahoo. What did he think? Supposedly he got vaccinated. Who knows. We did not witness that. Nobody witnesses anything.
