Time for changes
As I sit home, I can’t afford to go anywhere because of the price of gas. And we only have one person to blame for that, and that’s Joe Biden. He was elected president, but now it’s hard to find anyone that voted for him. It’s amazing. I don’t know how it happened. Nobody wants to claim what a loser he is. It’s time for him to either step aside and bring someone else in, because anyone can do better at running this country than what he’s done. He’s an embarrassment to the United States of America. It’s sad. I cannot believe that his family will let him continue to serve in that position. Nobody believes what he says. I hate to say this, but he’s bringing us right down to our knees. There’s a man there that’s never worked a day in his life. So, it’s time that we see some changes.
Ready for another draft
I feel bad for the people in Ukraine, just like the next person here in the United States, but I feel like we will make a mistake if we get too involved. I’m not scared of Russian President Putin, but what this is going to mean, and take, is people getting drafted. Are your sons and daughters ready to go into the military to defend this country? I’ve heard too many say no. So, who’s going to defend this country?
Make up your mind
The hypocrisy of Chicago activists and certain politicians knows no limits. They are forced to acknowledge that routinely citizens are assaulted, robbed at gunpoint, hijacked and shot at random on a daily basis. However, when two gangbangers or wannabes lose their lives in an early morning confrontation with police trying to do their jobs, there is dismay that charges are not filed against the officers. What is forgotten is both were armed. The fact that one was quite young is unfortunate. He made a choice. Make up your mind as to what you want.

You moron
This is in reply to “It all started under Trump”: I suppose if the Moon burned out tomorrow, it would be Trump’s fault. Trump has been out of office for 15 months, you moron. So, how did Trump have anything to do with Russia invading Ukraine? He wasn’t even president when they started invading on the borders, much less firing on them three weeks ago. You people are really idiots. I don’t know where you come from.
All the nonsense
Breaking news: The New York Times admits the Hunter Biden laptop was real all along. Well, conservatives knew it was true a year and a half ago, but yet it was the Democrats who lied about the whole thing. So, if you want to stop misinformation, stop listening to the mainstream media because they’re feeding you lies. They’re nothing more than left-wing apparatchiks for the Democratic Party and Joe Biden, or any other Democrat that wants to stay out of trouble for all the nonsense that they perpetrated.
Thinks he’s special
Here’s another actor who thinks he’s beyond touchable, and that he’s special. That’s Mr. Smollett. He feels that he did not create an issue among the people in Chicago and everywhere else. Yes, Mr. Smollett instigated heat among nationalities, and yet he gets to walk away because he feels he’s part of the elite. He’s a snob and he’s nowhere being a good actor, so he gets let go. He gets a chance to walk the streets. Let’s see what other chaos he can create.
Laws can’t fix stupid
It’s curious. There was a tragedy on the news in Dalton, Illinois. A 3-year-old shot his mother with a pistol that was in her purse. A spokesperson from an anti-gun coalition was featured proposing statewide legislation requiring certain firearm security protocols, but how this would affect the above would be uncertain. You never hear the whole story. My questions is, was the firearm legally purchased? Did she have a carry permit? Did one or both of the adults involved have FOID cards, or possibly felony convictions? If you have firearms and young children, you have to do your due diligence. No legislation will account for stupidity.
Hoping for better prices
It’s amazing. You drive through Beach Park and Zion, and you look around and you see that their gas prices are a little higher than everybody else. I don’t believe in passing it along to the customer. It’s all for their profit. Hopefully, with the new station coming to the area, there will be more friendly service and better pricing. It’s only a dime or 20 cents, but why not pass it along to the customers. It doesn’t have to be a one-way street.
