WNBA’s Brittney Griner was sentenced in Russia to nine years for having illegal drugs. If she didn’t know she had it on her then it must have been the drugs working on her. She can’t expect to go to Russia, even though it’s legal where she lives, to use this drug. It’s like Indiana doesn’t have legalized marijuana? So if a person from Illinois figures that they can smoked weed in Indiana, the same thing. She didn’t stand up for the flag. She expects to be traded for a convicted gun runner who had American blood on his hands by selling drugs to kill Americans.

Brittney Griner was sentenced to nine years in Russia for drug possession. Did she think because she is a pro athlete anything goes? Russia is not the USA.

So thank God the jury so far has ordered Alex Jones to pay millions to the Sandy Hook families who he accused of staging the entire massacre of their children. This man is the scum of the earth and reprehensible and I only hope they get him on perjury charges so he goes to jail as well, and that the punitive damages will be even more so he will become bankrupt. The man is pure evil and anyone who follows that nonsense money is evil as well.

Marv of Bridgeview, so big deal you read the Bible, but you’re too biased against any religion. l have read the Bible and the Quran, both teach you to understand people and their beliefs. The problem with the country is they’re trying to take God out of it.

I got a real kick out of the hypocrisy in Darren Bailey’s latest campaign ad lambasting Gov. J.B. Pritzker for being a billionaire born into generational wealth. Another person comes to mind who meets that same criteria, Donald J Trump. Yet Bailey didn’t call Trump out for that last month at the Downstate rally. Instead he bent his knee in fealty to secure his endorsement.
