Tax rates and tax cuts
I hear the Republicans whining about the tax rates might go up. Hey, folks. Hey you Republicans, I want my one and half trillion. That’s with a T. $1.5 trillion dollars you took from us five years ago. I want my money back.

Why support the homeless?
Why do Waukegan folks continue to support the homeless that are on the corners and not cleaning up after themselves? Why? Answer me the question why? They leave garbage, they leave their debris. They don’t care to clean up after themselves and they always seem to point the finger at another homeless person. And then it leaves the property owner responsible to clean it up and if it’s not the property owner, the storefront, then it belongs to the city and the county to clean up these corners. So please, people, stop feeding these folks. It’s the same people year after year.
Have trial for alleged Highland Park shooter as soon as possible
You know, why do the people have to wait till Nov. 1 to try this idiot from Highland Park? Everything’s fresh in everybody’s mind. Let’s get it over with now. I know this is ridiculous. The people want to move on from all this crap and put him down. Do whatever they’re going to do and he should get the death penalty.
Simple as that. I think this is ridiculous. I suggest that death penalty for what he did. He clearly took lives and was attempting to go take more. So the guy needs to be put down. And you know, his parents are idiots too. They should be dealt with, because they had to know he was a psycho. He’s had problems before, so I don’t know. Let’s just end it and give him the death penalty.
Griner gets more fair treatment
It’s just sad day in America when Brittney Griner’s trial in Russia will probably get a more fair hearing than the Jan. 6 people.
Police not getting respect they deserve
Why do we bother with police officers, why? All we’re doing to them is disrespecting them. If you’re going to be the fool to challenge them. You’re the fool. You deserve it. If I was a cop, let’s say this, I’d be looking for a new job. It’s not worth it. I’m sorry. It’s no longer worth it. When are we going to change that?
