He started it
I read the article about Obama giving a speech regarding all the divisions in the United States; all the hatred in the United States. We have him to thank for that. He’s the one who started the racist problems. We’ve always had them, but he encouraged them. He is such a joke. I don’t see why people think he was so terrific. He was out to ruin America.
You can’t fix stupid
This is in reply to “COVID the cause.” First of all, I’m 71. Yes, I’m a Republican woman, and I have been taught my whole life you can’t fix stupid. I was also taught don’t argue with stupid people. They just try to drag you down to their level. Now, we all know this inflation was caused by massive spending. Our inflation is all pre-Ukraine. It has nothing to do with Putin. Quit being so naive that Biden is now peddling this lie that Putin caused our gas prices and our inflation. Quit blaming Trump. Trump had to spend some money to do some catch-up after the damage Obama did by weakening our military.
Outright lies
This to all American voters: Do not believe the outright lies the Republicans are telling you. The Democrats want to fund the police, not defund the police. But you’ve got a lot of crooked cops out there, and we’ve got to get rid of them.
Trump can read
This is in reply to “Trump can’t even read.” Where do you people come from? What planet do you live on? Why do you even print this nonsense that some people call in? I mean this man was the president. He ran America for four years. He has a real estate business worth billions and billions of dollars. Yet, the man can’t read?
Do your job
The Waukegan school district’s primary existence is to educate the students. Many students are not performing at grade level, and the graduation rate has dropped. Before the district starts new programs to feed, clothe and take care of medical needs of the community, they need to concentrate on the reason they exist. Grant money just takes care of initial cost. Don’t saddle the overtaxed residents with additional taxes. There are agencies in Waukegan that already specialize in taking care of feeding, clothing and the medical needs of the community members.
Heresy
Remember when dissent under the Obama/Biden/Hillary administration was patriotic? Hillary said dissent was patriotic when she was railing against Republicans. But under any Republican administration, it’s heresy. They have to stop people who have the truth on any issue from sharing it, or they will be found out and lose information dominance and their power to disseminate their misinformation.

Pens for everyone
Just one pen? Do you realize how much work it takes to get the bill for the president or the governor to sign it? It takes a lot of work — enduring work — from hardworking folks. Men, women, children. No lobbyists working for them. Number 45 also used a lot of pens for each signature. His first name, his middle initial and his last name and the date. You didn’t call in about that. Must not have seen that. Just one pen. Really?
