Chump Democrat

All TV channels broadcast the president of Ukraine addressing our Congress. Once again, Biden pledged more money and military equipment. Once again, this chump Democrat is upset the money belongs to the U.S. citizens. It should be used on our senior citizens, our homeless people, including homeless veterans. It should be used for mental health. There is so much more it should be used for. We need to take care of our own. What other countries are helping Ukraine? I’m afraid Biden is leading us into a war with Russia.

America first

I am a citizen who puts America first. It doesn’t mean that I’m a Trump follower, but I do believe in putting America first. And right now America’s in the toilet. We support all these other programs, but forget about the American people. Billions and billions of dollars are going to Ukraine. Do you think that’s going to make a difference? And on top of it, there is no accountability for the billions of dollars that we’re spending. What are they using all this money for? Are they making themselves rich at the same time, which I got news for you folks that happens even here.

Sad state

I can’t believe the city of Waukegan did not put up Christmas lights. Did you decorate downtown? I know there’s no businesses there, but we still believe in Christmas. There are people that still do believe. Let’s decorate. We need to show the power of goodness. And right now, Waukegan is in a sad state, a very sad state.

Froze to death

Where’s our president at while Americans across the country just died because of the extreme cold including some in Buffalo, New York stranded in their cars. Many were probably senior citizens just like me who couldn’t turn up the thermostat high enough because of his life energy policy, so they literally froze to death in their homes.

Another trend?

I can’t believe again the city of Waukegan. It’s a free-for-all. I’m out driving at night and we have vehicles headlights the color of their cars or trucks. It gets a little dangerous, mayor. I can’t tell if it’s a car coming at me, or what’s coming at me. And, yet, there’s a police officer that didn’t bother to make a stop and check why his head lights are blue. The box truck is also blue. I hope this is not a start of another trend.
