Dumb and dumber
So who is dumber, the Long Grove Village Board or the 30 truck drivers who couldn’t read the 10 signs before hitting the historic Long Grove bridge. I say the Village Board. Raise the roof of the bridge, dummies. More signs? Sure, that will do it … not.
Talking points
Extremely embarrassing that so many new-order Trump “Republicans” believe the Fox, Newsmax and QAnon talking points. The XL Pipeline would not have impacted the price of oil. And the bypass was not expected to be completed for years. Yes, it’s a bypass to an existing pipeline. Sad that disruptive Russian/Chinese propaganda has infiltrated the weak minds of many so-called patriots. OPEC decreased production. Inflation is worldwide as well. May President Biden remain healthy, and the USA thrive with his solid leadership.
Starter addiction fuel
I believe drug addiction starts with just a small amount of drugs in the beginning. The same goes with alcohol. Just a little at the beginning. As things progress, more drugs are needed to get the good satisfaction and feeling. Thus, the person turns into a drug addict. It is nice that Illinois has a good source of starter addiction fuel called recreational marijuana stores. We also need to thank J.B. Pritzker for starting these drug-addiction moneymaking stores all over Illinois. Maybe he should build more mental health hospitals and abortion clinics in the state. Abortion clinics are for when the women overdose and get pregnant.
Check the facts
America produced 4 billion barrels of crude oil in 2021, making us the largest producer in the world. Per day, on average, we use 20.6 million barrels of oil, of which 40%, 9.1 million barrels, we use to run our power motor vehicles. Quit your whining, blaming and complaining, and check the facts.
Think much?
I’m responding to the intellectual midget who thinks former President Donald Trump bowed down to anyone. Did not happen. But I do remember former President Obama bowing before the Saudi king. Think much?

We all know it was good to get rid of the racist names Cleveland Indians and Washington Redskins. But there are still two bad ones that have to go. I’m talking about Indiana and Indianapolis, both places named because Indians once lived there. Words matter.
