Do your jobs

I read about this Cooper Roberts trying to get to go back to school, but he’s in a wheelchair. I want to know what’s happening to the idiot that shot him, and all the other people in Highland Park. You don’t hear anything about that anymore. The man should get the death penalty. They should have walked him out and given it to him. He does not deserve to live. That little boy’s in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. They shouldn’t have a need for a GoFundMe page, because they should go after the shooter’s parents. They let it happen. So, I feel sorry for that little kid. I feel sorry for all those people. But our justice system stinks. Get these judges to do their jobs.

Gift from God

I’m a 78-year-old senior. Women’s health used to mean delivering the baby as a gift from God. Today’s liberal Democrats don’t care about God, or what a woman who disagrees with them believes. They only want to keep power.

No tax

Late voters: Just remember that the Lake County Board voted no to a tax this month.

Ridiculous

I read somebody complaining about the public having to pay for the stadium for the Bears. I agree. Why the heck should the public pay for any of it? They make tons of money off of that damn team. And the sports guys get paid millions of dollars to play a football game. Now the public shouldn’t have to pay for any of it. That’s up to the Bear’s club to do it. They’re going to make money off the mall and everything else. So why should the people pay for it? Ridiculous.

Now have a choice

Democratic Vice President Harris was supposed to fix our border crisis. She won’t even go to our Southern border. How’s that working for you? We now have a choice. The president thinks North Korea is our ally. I think they were elected by a bunch of first graders and now believe in more educated voters. What a mistake these two are.

Easier for dogs and cats

It’s hard to believe that elderly senior citizens in nursing homes — frail in their 80s and 90s — that they get forced to rehab with walkers, barely able to walk and in excruciating pain. It doesn’t seem anything other than cruel to not have medications available that would relieve them of that intense, incredible pain. Is there something wrong with the medical world and the legislators that they would allow that to happen, and to not even be cognizant of that kind of stress- and pain-related activity? Go and investigate in the nursing homes and find out what’s going on, and you will realize that they are not doing what they could be doing. It’s easier to get mind-altering drugs in cats and dogs than people.

Answer that

A question for the public: Is your life important or your children’s lives important? Then why wouldn’t a fetus who is also a baby be important? Answer your question. Please answer that.
