Think about it, Alito
How about this leak from the Supreme Court. Everybody’s screaming that the leak shouldn’t have happened, and everything. They’re going to prosecute. They’re going to find out who put that leak out there. From my view, whoever did it should get the Congressional Medal of Freedom. They finally exposed what the U.S. Supreme Court, as it is now constructed, is trying to do. How in God’s name can five people — five people — overturn something that’s been settled law for over 50 years? Because it’s not written into the Constitution that you can have an abortion, according to Mr. Alito. If you are going to follow the Constitution directly to its letter, that means they can’t force me to wear a short-sleeved shirt, I can wear a long-sleeve shirt, because I have the right to bare arms. You can’t force me to wear a long-sleeve shirt. Think about it, Alito.
Nightmares begin
California is no longer the state where your dreams come true. It is now the place where your nightmares begin.
Please, God
When will it be one too many senseless killings? A woman in her own living room reading Bible stories to her children? A man mowing his lawn? A child walking to school? Who will be the one that makes us say enough? Throw away the guns. Please, God, it will be soon.
School board is ridiculous
Regarding the Waukegan school board and the superintendent: She is making so much money, it’s ridiculous. Taxpayers cannot afford her. And they bought the bank building. All this was voted on by the school board. Where are secretaries going to park? Where are visitors going to park? All the offices will now be in the bank building, with very difficult parking. And they’re going to send you upstairs if you need mental health advice or help, or if you need grade advice, or if you’re signing up a child for something. You’re going to have to go up the elevator to some floor, and figure out what’s going on. This is just ridiculous. The school board is ridiculous. They don’t care about anything. This school board doesn’t know what they’re doing.
Best of all worlds
Waukegan continues to provide a rich experience in our American heritage, as it did for me many years ago. Growing up in Waukegan, especially on the South Side, I was immersed in the melting pot. My neighbors and classmates were Swedish, Finnish, Armenian, Mexican, Slovac, Black and white. Many of my friends spoke a different language at home, but English when out playing in the alley. It was the best of all worlds.
Hillary Clinton’s playbook
This is in reply to “Just tell the truth.” You know, you knock Donald Trump for not showing up after being subpoenaed. What about Hillary Clinton? And you people, if you had your way she’d have been running this country, that crooked thief. But I don’t hear you talking about her. It took them what, a year and a half, to get her to testify in front of Congress? The only thing President Trump is doing is taking a page out of Hillary Clinton’s playbook.
