‘Slaughter State’?
Illinois’ slogan on license plates should be “The Slaughter State.” With the approval of abortion, and allowing women from every state to get an abortion in Illinois, it needs to be recognized somehow. Also, Gov. J.B. Pritzker should get the Nobel Peace Prize for population control. Tough luck for the embryos that will end up in a garbage can.
Time for tickets

School is back in session in Waukegan, and with it brings all the traffic and people that cannot read a street sign. If you drive around any school when it is letting out, there are cars parked up and down the street. Glenwood is the worst. It is clearly posted along McAree no parking, yet people continue to park along the street and make it a dangerous situation. Kids running across the street to get to their rides. I’m telling you now, some kid is going to get seriously injured or killed when they get hit by a car speeding down the road. Waukegan police should go up and down the streets around schools and issue tickets in no parking zones. Probably could pay off the city’s budget shortfalls to boot.
Rebate?
I paid for my college education, and my children worked and I helped them pay for their college education. Do we get a rebate?
Free giveaway of college
The latest news is that the inflation reduction act is going to cost American taxpayers $280 billion, and now it comes out that Joe Biden is thinking about canceling student loan debt for rich people whose kids went to school. So not only are we going to have to pay for the inflation reduction act, we’re also going to have to pay for his free giveaway of college to the upper class in America who already stick it to everybody.
A very scary thought
To the reader saying almost every president has taken something from the White House: To be clear, historically no former president has taken boxes of classified and top secret documents except Trump. Thus, leading to the search warrant to enter his home. We’re not talking about a White House paperweight or letter opener here. The documents were so sensitive, a Trump employee suggested a stronger padlock be put on the basement door where the documents were being stored, which Trump agreed to. What was Trump planning to do with the documents? A very scary thought.
