Until mass shootings

Pro-life until birth. Pro AR-15 until mass shootings. The children should have open caskets to show what an AR-15 does to flesh when the bullets hit it.

More garbage

It’s nice that now Biden is holding free lunches over the schools for not applying LGBTQ fairness in the schools. They need to keep certain things out of the school system, and to threaten that these kids will not have lunch tells you what kind of administration we have. Biden — aka Pinocchio, Lying Joe, Sleepy Joe — is a scoundrel, and people need to be careful what they will vote for with the next elections or you’ll get more of this kind of garbage that is going on in our country.

No common sense

Joe Biden comes out in his speech for gun control, and he says for God sakes do something. Well, let’s go back and look at Mr. Biden’s record since he’s been the president of the United States. Everything that he’s done has been wrong. So would we want a Democrat to do something when everything they’ve done is wrong? Also, he said we need to have common sense legislation. There is nobody in the Democratic Party that has common sense.

Florida dreaming

Do I wish Illinois had more of a governor like DeSantis? If I could, I’d move and everyone of you folks are probably thinking the same thing, but won’t admit it.

Let the kids down

The state of Texas and the town of Uvalde let those kids down. The police chief didn’t even have his radio. How can you work without your radio?

Wall pieces

Down at the southern border, the wall pieces were left on the ground when useless Biden stopped construction due to a lack of common sense and let all kinds of drugs into our country. I think Sleepy Joe should give the wall pieces to Texas, where the Republican governor will definitely use them to protect our southern border from drugs entering our country.

For the record

Here are some key things that Gov. Pritzker has accomplished in his term in office in Springfield: Took the COVID-19 crisis seriously from the get-go, increasing funding and resources for all people of Illinois to get tested and vaccinated. Got our credit rating raised three times, becoming the first governor to do this in a long time. Increased business in areas like Rockford and Downstate. Businesses want to come back and do business in Illinois. And finally, he’s not running negative ads like the other three major Republicans in the Republican primary.

‘Tis not the season

I can’t believe all the Christmas lights that are still around Waukegan. However, Gurnee is not that far behind.

Term limits

Every time I get gas or buy groceries, I pay more and more. Our incompetent president now calls it a transition period. I believe Biden has done a lot of damage to America. If we had term limits, in his case very short term limits, we could get better people in office. I could go to a nursing home and replace Biden.

Bad apples

Good grief, I get so tired of these people who keep saying get rid of all the Republicans or get rid of all the Democrats in government. Fact is, we need both. We need balance. But what we don’t need are the totally corrupt, greedy ones who are in it for themselves. There is good and bad in each political party. Let’s get rid of the bad apples, and maybe we can finally get some compromise and democracy back in America.
