The new Haiti
It appears that Chicago is going to be the new Haiti, with all the shootings and killings. Oh, but wait, J.B. Pritzker has it all under control by letting the prisoners out of jail at the beginning of the year. The law in Illinois is going down the sewer really fast.
Village of Eddy?
When the Weather Service issued those warnings for tornadoes in Kenosha and Racine County, they showed a map up here of northern Illinois. Just west of the corner of Green Bay on Wadsworth Road was Eddy, whatever settlement that was or whatever little village. Anyway, it said it was just west of Green Bay on Wadsworth Road. It said the village of Eddy. Does anybody know anything about that?
Thanks
Thank you, Mr. Uihlein for the paper full of news and lies. It makes excellent kindling for the fireplace now that the weather has turned cold. Thank you very much.
You are a part of it
We have 330 million people in this country. Roughly 155 million people voted in 2020. Your daughter has been using your address for 17 years, and hasn’t voted in 12 years. She received a vote by mail application. She would need to verify all the information is correct and sign the application to receive a ballot at your address. That is how it works. This is a very important election, and women especially need to wake up and get to the ballot box. There is a movement in this country to take away a woman’s right to vote, and you are a part of it.
My right
No right to contraception. No right to an abortion. It is my right to choose what to do with my body.
Not enough lipstick
There’s a saying in politics that when you’re a political party like the Democrats, you can only put so much lipstick on a pig. In relation to our present president, there’s not enough lipstick in the entire world to make a horse’s backside to look like a pig.
What Democrats are all about

I vote Republican because I’m a fiscal conservative. I’m not against abortion, per se. However, the single issue should not be your deciding vote. Are you personally affected by it? The Democrats have nothing else to offer like a deep debate about your taxes, your 401(k), Social Security, gas prices, food prices, hyperinflation, giving $30 billion to Ukraine, the wide-open borders and people coming in from all over the world, not just Central and South America. We don’t need any more low- or no-skill, foreign-born people who don’t speak English, who will probably have to rely on welfare for life. That’s 2.7 million people that have come across already in two years. Their welfare will cost you out of your paycheck. And at last, the SAFE-T bill our state legislature passed is effective Jan. 1, which means violent criminals will be able to get out of jail without bond. That’s what the Democrats are all about.
