Watch yourselves

As an American, I would like to personally thank Elon Musk for trying to save our First Amendment. Like he said, you take away people’s speech that’s how you get tyranny. How do you think Hitler took over? Look what goes on in China? And that’s exactly what’s going on here. And now that he owns Twitter, conservatives can voice our opinions without being deleted, or threatened, or exposed for some lie. They’re trying to find ways to ruin him, and shut him down. Watch the news. You have to go to Fox though. Twitter is exposing Hunter Biden and his daddy for all the shenanigans for the last 15 years and they’re trying to find every way not to talk about it. Those Democratic channels spent seven seconds combined talking about what Musk is exposing about corruption. This is beautiful, and that’s why they’re trying to take away our guns. So, in a few years, they can do tyranny on us, and we can’t even defend ourselves better. Be careful. Watch yourselves and how you vote.

Depleting our stockpile

This is in reply to “A bunch of chumps”: Yeah, we sure are. I feel just like a chump being an American taxpayer. First Biden gives Ukraine $40 billion dollars. Then he gives them $13 billion. Word has it from Congress that these are basically blank checks. And you talk about this being wide-open for theft and corruption on both ends. The worst part is now they’re depleting our stockpiles of weapons. What if we get hit by North Korea, or China, or Iran, or Iraq, whoever?

Could it be?

Why in the world would they release an outspoken woman who doesn’t know what she’s talking about versus Paul Whelan who’s been there for three years. I can tell you. Could it be he was a Trump supporter and that is why?

Congrats

Congratulations Lake County employees on your lawsuit. I applaud you. It’s about time that people do stand up for their rights. I don’t care if you’re Black, white or indifferent. I think some of these bosses think that they’re dictators, and we have a lot of dictators not just at the county building but also City Hall. Bosses feel that there is no other word but their word. Congratulations Lake County employees for your lawsuit.

Wrong lane

I have worked in the road building business for over 40 years and I’ve never seen anything so stupid as what the state has done on routes 45 and 173. I have never seen anything so stupid as putting a bike lane between a main lane and artery. I guarantee you there’s going to be somebody that gets hurt or killed. It’s the dumbest thing I have ever seen. I just never thought that our state was that stupid.
