Another storm
The rumors have started already. They’re blaming the Republicans for Pelosi’s husband’s assault with a hammer. Isn’t it kind of funny? Don’t these folks have security? Third in line to the presidency, Mrs. Pelosi. You would think she had the highest security available to her. So, who are they kidding, folks? Really? Who are they kidding? This is not a political attack. If anything, they’re creating another storm right before the midterms, this is what they do best. Especially Pelosi.
Count your blessings
With all the Democrats now hiding all the facts about their failed policies, thank God a red wave is coming. Let’s kick all these Democrats out of office. And by the way, women’s health is also defined by giving birth to children. How do you think you got here? Life is God-given. Count your blessings.
I have a right
There’s nothing safe about the SAFE-T Act. So folks, Nov. 8 is coming around the corner. Don’t vote for this. If you think our cities are dangerous now, can you imagine when they start letting all the dogs out of their cages? Yes, I’m going to say it the way it is. I have a right.
Enough said
Hey Bone Spur lovers: I think Bone Spurs’ first Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said it best when he said it was like “crazy town.” Enough said.

Two sides to every story
Let me make perfectly clear from the beginning, I do not believe teachers should be beating students in the face. However, I also believe there is, or should be, a standard of acceptable behavior in schools. Disruptive behavior by a 14-year-old who should know better cannot be tolerated. A verbal argument with another student is certainly disruptive behavior. This is not a good learning environment for other students. Did the incident happen in a Waukegan middle school? All Waukegan middle schools are classified as targeted or comprehensive by the state. Failing grades. It’s no wonder teachers are leaving the profession in droves. It’s no wonder why Waukegan can’t hire enough teachers. There are always at least two sides to every story. The Waukegan school board and Plascencia need to look at a destructive behavior in Waukegan schools instead of namby-pamby hugging them at school board meetings.
Out of hand
You see Biden’s in there, you know parading around about the student loan forgiveness. Nobody forgave any of my loans. So, I’ve always had to pay them. Why should the taxpayers have to pay for somebody’s school loans? I’m sorry, that’s wrong. There are senior citizens out there that can’t live with any more taxes. And that’s ridiculous. Especially if they have no kids in school, but yet they don’t get forgiveness on school taxing, which is better than 50% or 60% of their taxes. They need to forgive the seniors for having to pay taxes on schools. That’s ridiculous. Taxpayers shouldn’t pay for the schooling. They shouldn’t pay for all the sports and stuff at the schools. It’s out of hand.
