Sad indeed
The conservatives only have one mainstream media source, while liberals have at least a half-dozen. Many Republicans say the liberal news sources are controlled by rich donors, but fail to see that the Murdoch family has complete control over the conservative mind. Fox pushes information that helps to keep these people under control, and making money off their own fake news and half-truths. Fox viewers and listeners have become zombies, weak-minded and unable to break free. Sad indeed.
Run Forrest
Forrest Gump was so right with “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” Just look at our Southern border. On that same note he said, “Stupid is what stupid does.”
None of this mess is on him
So, all of you with utter disdain for President Trump, just remember he was not a politician. He came into office with his own wealth and didn’t take a paycheck. Not to mention, he’s been gone over a year and none of this mess is on him. Meanwhile, as Joe says, it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better. So, you just remain consumed with a president who actually had us headed on the right track.
Stay off my lawn
The Waukegan revitalization has been discussed for decades. Where will the money come from? Problem is, there are too many citizens who could not care any less. Trash litters the roadways and neighborhoods, the “homeless” beg on street corners, loud music, street racing, underperforming schools and of course crime. Now, stay off my lawn.
Goofy looking
More Top Picks What Does Irlen Syndrome Feel Like When Reading
We will be hearing about this slap for a while, but I think what everybody who watched the Oscars can agree on is that Amy Schumer was freaking, laugh-out-loud funny, making fun of herself, while a somewhat goofy looking Chris Rock tried to be funny making fun of a classy, supper sweat and drop-dead gorgeous Jada Pinkett Smith.
Who’s in charge?
We have a president that can’t speak without a teleprompter in front of his face. Then, when he goes off-script while talking to the American people, a White House official — who was not authorized to comment by name and spoke on the condition of anonymity — has to tell us what the president actually meant to say. This isn’t funny anymore. Who is really in charge of running this country?
Invasion being ignored
The Russian invasion of Ukraine is the best thing that has happened to Biden. The focus is completely centered on the poor Ukrainians and the destruction of their country by Russia. The invasion of our own country at the border has continued without much news, and Biden can just let the illegal drugs, undesirable people, criminals, etc. continue to flow through our border. He has take his Uncle Joe act internationally now, while our country is having its own invasion.
