More debt, more inflation: Let’s get this straight. There is a gas shortage, which is driving up the cost per gallon. President Biden wants to temporarily suspend the gas tax, which will encourage more driving/demand, not less. In the meantime the federal government will borrow/print more money to make up for the lost gas tax revenue, which drives up inflation. Nice thinking, Joe.

Courage a relative thing: In his role on Jan. 6, then-Vice President Mike Pence has been described as courageous and a hero. Though he did what was lawfully right, real courage and heroism would have been if he, and anyone else within government who knew of the dangerous lies and action or inaction during Donald Trump’s presidency, would have spoken out long before. What appears to be irreversible damage has been done, yet there is still continued support for a man who would do none of it for them or us.
Faces still hidden: I look forward to the day when I no longer have to wear a mask to see my doctor. It’s been over two years since I’ve seen his face and I’m beginning to question if it’s even him!
I have a question: Can someone please tell me why the Republican Party wants to make this country a dictatorship?
No need to carry a gun: Why do we have the urge or need to carry a gun? It just mean we are looking for violence. I think we should only be allowed to have a gun in our home or out hunting. We have to learn to love again we are the most violent country on the planet.
COVID’s still killing people: People think COVID-19 is behind us but there is still a significant amount of people dying every day. We must not become complacent or we could go backwards like it seems everything else is going.
Potty-mouthed mayor: What an awful, awful example Lori Lightfoot is for her daughter. What a potty mouth for a mother.
Good luck, Dems: With the Supreme Court reversal of Roe v. Wade, Democrats have been handed an opportunity for the midterm elections. If they could undo the ongoing supply chain problems, make some headway at the southern border, get inflation moving in the right direction and realize taxpayers are beyond tapped out and done with their spending habits, they’d have a chance. But, they’ve proved over and over they have absolutely no plan for any of it. Reelect them in November.
