Not guilty

Golly gee, another front-page article by Charles Selle on that white, 17-year-old, high school dropout, Kyle Rittenhouse, who killed two white people in Wisconsin. Old, old news. Not Guilty. How about articles on the people murdered by killers in Lake County, Illinois? Like in Zion, Beach Park, Gurnee, Waukegan, etc.

Sad days

As a grandma in her 60s, I will never understand these young people. No respect for themselves, their elders or the occasion. Dressing in revealing clothing and wearing drag queen makeup at a Thanksgiving gathering with impressionable little ones, parents and grandparents in attendance. Then you have the preteens dressed in pajamas for the holiday, all sprawled out on the couch on their phones. Not responding to any of the adults acknowledging them. Looking at you like “How dare you say hi to me.” Entitled young people is an understatement. It’s downright blatant disrespect. There’s a time and a place for that nonsense, and it’s not at a Thanksgiving gathering. Good grief, what has happened to us? Sad days we are living in.

Another campaign lie

Hope that all of you union members who voted for the illegitimate socialist puppet noticed how he threw your railroad union brothers under the bus. Another campaign lie exposed.

Get off your high horse

It’s funny that Arthur Cyr says freedom of expression can be a great source of collective strength, and he only points out left-wing illustrations. It would be nice if you came over to the other side, because the only people being canceled at commencement speeches and talks these days are right-of-center, conservative people who can’t get on stage and espouse an opinion. Until you can get off your high horse and defend those people, you have nothing to say.
