Stop the insanity
To say our intelligent and compassionate President Obama caused division in our country is just insane. He was voted in by the majority of this country to be our president for two terms and eight whopping years. That doesn’t look like division to me. Looks like total love and unity to get this country back on track, which it did. What a shame the buffoon Trump came in after and destroyed all that hard work. Good grief people, stop the insanity of hate.
Pack of hypocrites
You want some hypocrisy? Here’s some hypocrisy for you. A few years ago, Bone Spurs was withholding $400 million from Ukraine. Not a peep from the conservative Republicans. Not a peep. Nothing. Zip. Zero. Nada. That is what we got from them. Now, they are so very, very concerned. What a pack of hypocrites.

Pritzker signs the bill to stop the 2.4 cent gas increase that is supposed to go into effect on July 1, 2022, and freeze our current gasoline tax until Jan. 1, 2023, in the Democrats’ tax relief plan, every Illinois gas station owner will be required to display a sign on each of their pumps, at their own cost, notifying us that we are actually saving money or face a $500-a-day fine. Funny, none of the Democratic leaders who negotiated the proposal wants to step up and take credit for having this stipulation put in the relief fund. How about having the station owners put up a sign reminding us every time our gasoline tax increases above and beyond the 39.2 cents a gallon we already pay?
