Wonderful woman

Women should be standing behind Kari Lake. She’s a refined, smart, great-speaking female. I can’t say enough. Forget the dividing lines of red and blue. She would be an asset to this country if she ran for president. Women, just take a look at what’s going on now. We have soldiers in just about every country to take care of these countries with an atomic bomb hanging over our heads, if not missiles from China. Men have a way of getting us into war. Let’s go and stand behind a female. I’m sorry. Hillary Clinton had too many skeletons in the closet for my taste to run as president. So, we should support this new person running in Arizona for governor, Kari Lake. What a wonderful woman.

Drawing the line

“The View” is a bunch of cackling old women. I wouldn’t watch that show if they paid me $2 billion. They entice and promote hatred. The last thing I heard was this Sunny woman comparing white women to roaches. Isn’t that nice? You’re drawing the line, ladies at “The View.”

Get your facts straight

Regarding “Fraud, fraud, fraud”: The difference is that Gore, Clinton and Abrams conceded to the winning candidate, and they did not send our young people to vandalize and disrupt in an attempt to overthrow the government. Please get your facts straight.

Better control

We have all these folks living on the corners living on our city streets, polluting our sidewalks and nothing can be done. I can’t believe nothing can be done. I can’t believe PADs doesn’t have better control over there.

They’re scared

I think the person that called in “Not good for democracy” hit it right on the head. If those poll watchers are supposed to be there watching, why are they armed and masked? I haven’t heard anybody answer that. If they are there with masks on, they are hiding their identity. What is wrong? Are they scared of being arrested or something? Are they afraid of people knowing who they are? Why are they wearing masks and everything while they watch the polls? You know, why? Because they know it’s wrong. So why don’t the Republicans do something about it? You know why? Because they’re scared.

Are you better?

The Democrats are the problem here, folks. We are losing that democracy due to the fact that these crazy Democrats want to change civilization. NPR had a live abortion aired on the radio. I hope this young woman who had the abortion turns around and sues NPR. I don’t care how many signatures she got. She’s not in her right mind while this procedure is being done. I was appalled by it, and I cried about it. Do you understand people that abortions can also leave the female infertile? There are those few that will have difficulty when they really want to have a child not be able to have that child so easily. So think twice before you decide to vote Democrat. Please, look at the country the way it’s heading now. Are you safer? Are you better?

Turn this disaster around

In Illinois, on our license plate it reads “Land of Lincoln,” a famous Republican. Now, our state is really hurting under Democratic rule. Let’s turn back the clock and let the Republicans turn this disaster around.

Disgusted, angry and furious

These huge companies Tyson, Caterpillar, Boeing, Citadel have left, or are leaving, Illinois. Pinnacle of Lake Forest just announced their move to Michigan. Can anyone comprehend the loss of income to the state of Illinois due to the loss of corporate and personal taxes? Tell me who is left to fill the gap. Yep. That’s you and me. A four-cent-a-gallon tax hike on gas in Lake County was imposed by the Lake County Board. I am ashamed of my home state. I am disgusted, angry, even furious at the Democratic Party who for decades have plundered our resources and destroyed our business climate.
