Only wants your vote

Puerto Ricans, don’t be fooled by the man in the white hair. The man didn’t care about Puerto Rico before. Where was he? He has to wait for crisis to hit in order for him to step in. Don’t be fooled. He only wants Puerto Ricans to vote. After that, he’ll forget about you again.

Poor park

Whatever happened to Roosevelt Park? It looks just horrible. Water is stagnant there. There used to be fish in there, and people used to go fishing. Now it’s just a dump. Is there anything Waukegan or the Park District can do to bring that park back to life? Let’s spend some of our money on this park that used to be a jewel. It was a beautiful park, and it still can be.

What has changed?

The Long Grove bridge has been 42 times since 2020. So, what has changed to make this bridge so vulnerable now?

That’s why

I hear a lot of the Trumplicans complaining about new IRS agents. You know Republicans, if you people would not cheat on your taxes like you do every year, we wouldn’t need so many of these agents. Why don’t you guys pay your fair share and quit trying to cheat the government? Why don’t you do what is morally right for this government instead of trying to cheat them? Why do we have to add 87,000 IRS agents? You know why? Because you guys cheat on your taxes, that’s why.

Credit Joe

Somebody in Lake County needs to explain to me why, when gas prices go up it’s Putin’s fault, or Big Oil’s fault, or somebody with a hangnail. And when oil prices come down, it’s always Joe Biden’s fault, Joe gets the credit every time the gas goes down.

The real answer

Since Democratic President Joe Biden took office, high fossil fuels and gas prices have caused hardships on American families. He thinks OPEC is the answer to a problem. OPEC continues to raise oil prices, which affects Americans. The real answer is a Republican president.

Goodbye Democrats

I’m used to the mudslinging from the Democrats. Are we now better off? I don’t think so. Instead of running down Republicans, how about fixing problems? Goodbye House. Goodbye Senate. Then, eventually, goodbye Biden.

No response

The Democrats were asked if we had a problem at the southern border. The Democrats being interviewed just walked away and kept silent. I call it a complete disrespect for America. At least children give you a response to a question.

Reform the police

You know, you always hear about these do-gooders that want to help these killers in prison, which I think is stupid. How about helping the police? Everybody’s bashing the police. Putting them out of a job and out of their career will not help retrain them. That’s ridiculous. You want to spend money on garbage, when we have people out there who would do good. I’d rather put the money to reform the police.

Like Moses

A hurricane hit the west coast of Florida and devastated some communities, and the Democrats are saying Ron DeSantis didn’t do this, he did do this and he did do that. Well, the blame in all earnest lies on Barack Obama. Didn’t he say that now was the time that we could stop the swelling of the seas. Where was Barack Obama when the hurricane hit if he could stop the swelling seas, and why was he not out there standing on some dingy, you know putting his hand up like Moses?

Irony

Well, those who have stock in oil are jumping for joy, but they also will be the ones complaining that the gas prices are high.
