Kamala Harris, our so-called borders czar and vice president, had three buses of immigrants dropped off at her house. And, of course, the Democratic left is up in arms saying it’s political and how terrible it is. What if she lived in Texas or Arizona? And of course, our media doesn’t even want to report it and our vice president and president don’t even want to visit the border. Where’s the media for that?

RHS, Bill, I guess you guys forgot the massive increases in the national debt created during the Trump administration, including the $2 trillion hand out to corporations and the top 1% in 2018.

The U.S. Census Bureau is reporting Illinois lost 104,000 residents from 2021 to 2022, after an almost identical loss the previous year. The only states with larger losses: New York and California. Much of the loss involved people moving to other states. Florida gained 211,000 residents and our neighbor Indiana grew by 20,341. Preelection polls in Illinois revealed voters’ main concerns as crime and high taxes. With a new year approaching, do your concerns about crime and high taxes mirror those of other residents? Will you be among those joining the Illinois exodus in 2023?

The world has changed, not for the good, but the bad. When driving your car, you see a person waiting for a bus in this cold weather. Years ago, you could pick them up if they were going your way. Not today. You just can’t take a chance of trouble.

Yes, this is for Gov. J.B. Pritzker. I am sick and tired of that man raising our taxes, raising them more and taking the money away from us. There he goes right now, after Jan. 1, the gas tax is going to be back and the 1% tax on food is going to end. What is wrong? Oh, I forgot, he’s a billionaire. He doesn’t need all of that stuff. What is wrong with these Democrats? All they do is tax, tax, tax and we have to pay for it and everyone is wondering why. Go ask your governor, he’s a billionaire. Why don’t we pass out some of the money to people that need it?
