.Your question is ridiculous
I’m responding to the submittal “Wanna bet” regarding Steve Bannon receiving more jail time than Hunter Biden. Well, that’s not a very good bet because Steve Bannon was charged with a crime, went to trial and was convicted. So, he’s going to do jail time if the legal system works the way that it’s supposed to. Hunter Biden has yet to be charged with a crime. So, until that point, he should not have to be concerned about serving jail time. Your question is ridiculous.
What are we coming to?
A Capitol rioter was sentenced to 63 months in prison — a little over five years — for just rioting. What is wrong with our system? A lady kills her kid because she couldn’t take care of him, and she doesn’t get but what, seven, eight years? And you have Rittenhouse. Where are our judges? What kind of justice is being put out there? None. We’ve got idiots running the system. Our courts stink. Give the punishment that these people deserve. That rioter didn’t deserve five years. He didn’t do much more than these rioters all over Chicago, and all these things that happened the last few years. What are we coming to?
I am confused
I am praying for the families in the July 4 shooting in Highland Park, but I am confused. They had 83 crisis counselors there to support the people. Well, North Chicago, Zion and Waukegan have been having shootings for the longest time. Yet, we have no crisis counselors out here, or anything like that. When are people going to wake up?
Limbs and brush
The mayor of Waukegan has dropped the ball. We have tree limbs and brush all over the place — all over. Why is the city not picking it up? Please, let’s get this mess picked up. If anything, let’s get that cleaned up off the city parkways.
Unconventional
I see the mayor in Chicago wants to hold the Democratic Convention in Chicago. That’d be a good way to get rid of a bunch of Democrats.
Liars and crooks
Thank you to the gentleman who called in to explain why those Republicans wanted pardons. Thank you for explaining everything like that, but you could have shortened it all by saying they were liars and crooks. That would have done it.
Punish them
We don’t need gun control. We need crime control. Start punishing these people for what they’re doing. Don’t slap them on the wrist and say come on back. You need to punish them.
