Half-mast

I see Biden lowered our flags to half-mast for the recent mass shooting in Highland Park. Why not leave them lowered always for the innocent people killed on a daily basis?

I want that money back

For all you Republicans calling in and crying about the money being spent on the Jan. 6 committee: I want the trillion (with a T) and a half that you Republicans stole from the working man back in 2018. I want that money back.

Goodbye Democrats

Justice Kavanaugh has been constantly harassed by the Democrats. Attorney General Garland has done nothing to stop it. President Biden criticized the border agents for whipping migrants at the border. The border agents were found innocent of the charges. President Biden did not apologize for his stupid actions. Stacey Abrams is for defunding the police, yet she has paid $450,000 for her own security. Now, 88% of Americans disapprove of President Biden’s policies. Goodbye to the Democratic Party.

Who said?

Who said Waukegan fireworks are illegal? Not the police department.

Stay out government

You know, I’m sick of hearing about this abortion stuff. The government should have stayed out of it. It was fine. I believe that a woman should have the right to do what they want with their own body as long as they don’t get rid of the baby before the time when it’s considered a human life. If that’s something they want to do beforehand, that should be up to them. But, taxpayers should not have to pay for it.

Bad character

It all comes down to character. We know Trump lied and cheated on things big and small — unfaithful to his wives, willing to ruin our electoral process to stay in power and threw anyone no longer useful under the bus, etc. That’s what I call bad character, and I will not vote for anyone who thinks supporting a bad character is good for our country.

Keep them on cable

I’m absolutely on your side of the “Price is right” contributor. Any hearings should always be on cable news channels, not the broadcast networks. The hearings are important, but need to stay in their own space.
