A wreck waiting to happen

I am an animal lover. I also ride horses, and having a loose bison in the forest preserve district is extremely dangerous to the equestrians. How would you like to be astride a 1,200-pound horse who spooks badly at an animal he has never seen or smelled before? This is a wreck waiting to happen. Tranquilize the bison and use some common sense, for heaven’s sake. It’s worth the risk to the bison, and certainly the right thing to do.

Ridiculous

What is wrong with our country here? We got a guy, John Hinckley Jr., who tried to kill President Reagan, and he’s getting freed? The man should have gotten the death penalty or life in prison. He should never be freed. He tried to kill the president of the United States. What is wrong with this country? I mean, you know pretty soon these people that do massacres are going to be free if that’s what we have to punish the people to the max. I’m sorry. This is ridiculous.

Totally wacko

This is about Biden and the Democrats. They’re ruining this country. They’re giving free everything away to other countries. Look at the price of gas. It’s over $5 a gallon. In my life, and I’m an older person, I have never seen gas so high. When I first started driving, it was 27 cents a gallon. This is ridiculous. Our economy is going to go to hell. The price of everything is going to go sky-high because of the price of gas. What does this idiot and these Democrats think they’re doing? They’re destroying our country. Something’s got to be done. This is totally wacko.

Lie, cheat and steal

Robby Mook, the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign manager, doesn’t want a felony on his record so that he won’t lose all of his money. So he had to tell the truth under oath to John Durham. He directly indicts Hillary Clinton. Mook does not want to be bankrupt like Michael Flynn. The Department of Justice is run by Merrick Garland. He’s a left-wing hack whose son sells diversity equity and inclusion propaganda to American schoolchildren. No conflict there. Democrats lie, cheat and steal.

Move the cans

I live in Antioch. They have arbitrarily put cans in front of everybody’s house. Especially the people that haven’t lived there in 10 years. They’ll be surprised to find that the cans probably will be used by somebody else. So get the cans away from people’s houses that don’t have service.

Big Brother

Without privacy you have no freedom, and people are so ignorant when it comes to your privacy. You need to look up the word privacy and freedom, because we have Big Brother listening in to everything that you say and they can use it against you.
