This dimwit
About this dimwit that you guys call the president of the United States, I’m done giving him that respect. I’m done. He is now asking military service people who have no experience at the border to go and help Border Patrol out with the thousands of people coming through. What type of garbage is that? Folks, can you really believe that this man is doing a good job? I hope not. I hope I never meet you anywhere and you tell me face-to-face.
Why we’re miserable
I would like to answer “So miserable.” Why Democrats are so miserable is because Republicans 100% voted against cheaper gas, 100% voted against cheaper insulin, 100% voted against a child tax credit, 100% voted against stimulus checks, 100% voted against the Voting Rights Act, 99% voted against fighting domestic terrorism, 96% voted against keeping birth control legal, 96% voted against background checks, 94% voted against more baby formula, 87% voted against stopping domestic violence, 84% voted against veteran cancer care, 77% voted against gay marriage and 68% voted against upholding the election. I could go on, but that’s what makes me miserable — the Republicans not trying to do anything for the American public. And taking women’s rights away. If you want to live in 1955 or ’60, be my guest. But that’s why I’m miserable. Plus, the fact I don’t see any answers from Republicans. All I see is name-calling, and that’s all I see in the paper when they call to complain about Democrats is name-calling. So, now you know why we’re miserable.
Two justice systems
Steve Bannon sentenced to four months and a $65,000 fine from the Trump derangement syndrome Democrats on the Jan. 6 committee. There are no Republicans on that committee. There’s only Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, who aren’t Republicans. Whatever happened to Eric Holder when he was held in contempt of Congress for not showing up? Did he did he serve any jail time at all? I can’t remember. Oh, here it comes. No, because he’s a Democrat. That’s why. Two separate justice systems for the Americans.
It’s a racket

Please stop feeding these people on every corner in Waukegan. It’s a racket. There is no way that these folks are all homeless. Impossible. It’s a racket, and you folks continue to pour your heart out and give them money. Stop. Give that to your charity in the name of one of your family members, but stop giving this drug money to these users. It’s a racket.
Surprised people don’t rebel
I don’t understand how gasoline can be under $3 a gallon in Texas, and I drive out to Mississippi and Arkansas and gas is under $4 a gallon. As soon as you hit Illinois, boom. It’s almost $5 a gallon, and even Wisconsin is getting pretty close to almost $5 dollars a gallon. Actually, Illinois is almost $6 a gallon. I don’t know. It’s crazy. All these different states, different prices. I don’t know what’s going on. A lot of price gouging going on, I know that. I’m surprised the people don’t rebel, like they do with other things.
Step down
If the mayor of Waukegan couldn’t handle the job, she shouldn’t have run for office. How come all the people before her could do the job? And why should we pay someone more money that we don’t have because she can’t do the job. She should step down from office and have someone take over if she’s that inept.
