It seems to me if the GOP gets control of Congress, they will be hellbent on political revenge and obstruction. In other words, there will be little to no meaningful legislation enacted by the GOP for the betterment of the country. Tearing things down instead of building things up does not seem to be a sustainable approach for the GOP. Of all the things they have complained about the Biden administration, I have not seen any specifics on the part of the GOP to right the perceived wrongs.

Regarding this Adam Toledo case. Why is this kid allowed to be out at 3 in the morning with a gun and then have the police officers held responsible? This is not right. That kid should not be out. The parents should be held responsible, not the police officer.

After seeing this little tidbit that Pfizer released, you decide if there’s an ulterior reason why Pfizer, Centers for Disease Control, the Biden administration and the Democratic Party want to mandate booster shots. What was Pfizer’s tidbit? It certainly wasn’t mentioned on any major mainstream media channel. It just was that each shot would cost between $110 to $130.

To George from the South Side as he was giving credit to the Democratic Party for Social Security, Medicare and other things. You must remember that the Democrats also gave Black slavery down South. They were all Southern Democrats and it took good Republicans like Abe Lincoln to free the slaves. So that’s something to think about too.

Rather than the guaranteed income program that will choose 3,250 people, they should have used that money to fund the food pantries and help people with paying their utilities. This would benefit many more people and would be a smarter choice.

Oct 31. All Hallows Eve, hence Halloween — not hollow like Sleepy Hollow. It’s certain traditional customs by relatives to visit their family graves with food and prayers at midnight and pray their loved ones rise up on All Saints Day, Nov. 1.
