How do you like that?

I had to laugh at the reality-challenged fellow who called in and said Trump was going to give the guy in North Korea fire and fury. If you remember right, my friend, about a week later they were exchanging what he called love letters to each other. They were in love. So that’s how much of a narcissistic wacko Bone Spurs was. He couldn’t tell one thing from the other, from one week to the next. One week fire and fury, next week love letters. How do you like that for the president of the United States at the time? What a wacko.

Too many lawsuits

Reading the newspaper about what Highland Park’s trying to do in suing the gun manufacturers for what happens after their product gets in the hands that it shouldn’t. I wonder what’s coming next. What about the idiots that drink and drive, and kill people on the road? You think Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota and Nissan should be sued because stupid people do stupid things? Pretty soon, everybody’s going to be sued for what somebody else does. Take care of the person that did the thing. How about, let’s get the death penalty back?

Delusional Democrats

This is in reply to the entry about President Biden bringing the gas prices down. What planet did you come from? He’d have to get them down to $2.19 like Trump had them when he left office. Biden caused this. Not the pandemic, inflation or Putin’s war in Ukraine, but your president Biden. You Democrats are really delusional.

Kick you out

If you believe that Democrats aren’t interested in taking all of your guns away in the future, just look to Waukegan Rep. Rita Mayfield. She says in a board meeting she thinks everybody has already bought an AR-15, or is a FOID card carrier, or a concealed carry person, so we all need to turn our AR-15s in too because that’s where the left is going. The left doesn’t want you to have any arms in your house, so that when they come and tell you they own your house, they can kick you out with little resistance.

Not going to get it done

The leaders of the green “raw” deal — Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, Buttigieg — say the pain we’re experiencing now because of high gas prices is good. It’s a good thing because then electric cars will come to fruition faster. Well, the funny thing is that they don’t realize that if you took all the electrical power in the entire world and harnessed it all together at the same time, it would run the world for 75 seconds. That’s it. So the wind and solar is not going to get it done.

What’s the difference?

Is America the only country that doesn’t have immigration laws? I’d like to know that. Who’s going to take care of these millions of people that have come into our country? I was one of those immigrants who came over, but correctly. And so was the rest of my family. So what’s the difference between them and me?
