The headline article of Sunday’s sports section indicated the Bears now have an electric, playmaking quarterback and described the explosive emergence of Justin Fields. It detailed Fields’ accomplishments over the past seven games. What the article neglected to say is the Bears lost six of those seven games, and are now three and 10 for the season, with several very difficult games left to play against winning teams. They have a reasonable chance to qualify for the first draft pick with the worst record in the NFL.

The American Automobile Association reported Dec. 8 the price of a gallon of gas is now less than it was one year ago. So, all of you right-wing Donald Trump supporters and Republicans and conservatives, can we hear from you about this? Are you going to give Joe Biden the Democrats credit for this reduction in the price of gas at the pump? You were ready to tar and feather them and hang them from the nearest light pole when prices were higher.

Jose from Burbank, you really probably should contact the police at this point. I have seven dogs and I asked all my neighbors if they’re left out too long or they barked, when I’m not home and my family lets them out. Nobody should have to put up with that. I’m so sorry. It’s people like that that ruin it for other people. It’s one of the reasons why the shelters are full, and that’s why I like animals more than I like people.

So now the Trump organization has been found guilty on all counts of tax fraud, scheme to defraud, grand larceny, criminal tax fraud, offering a false instrument for filing and falsifying business records. What a paragon of virtue this man is. Go MAGA crowd, keep voting for this guy.

The trade should have been a two for one trade. One U.S. Marine, one basketball player for one dangerous arms dealer.

It just amazes me who people warp the facts of the Brittany Griner case to fuel their hatred of President Biden. Listen to what the dishonorably discharged Marine had to say about it.
