For a man who presumably wants to be president, Ron DeSantis is sure taking an odd route to capturing his party’s nomination. De-Sanctimonious has decided that his path to the White House will be determined by social issues. The way he’s trying to whitewash reality may soon be rejected by the courts. This is precisely what far-right Christian conservatives truly desire and exactly why we have to keep as many of them out of elected office as possible.

The elite leaders of countries around the world met in Switzerland. Their goal seems to be to have one global autocratic government that would control every country on earth. The undemocrat party is all for it. Imagine the political corruption that would then be worldwide instead of just here, China, Russia and other individual countries. The elites think that they are so smart that they can govern over the entire planet.

I see where Brandon Johnson wants to tax Chicagoans and suburbanites 3.5% on city income, a city income tax for anybody who earns a $100,000 or more. What is he nuts? People from Cook County, the suburbs are going to pay the tax? If that’s the case, why don’t you let us vote for the mayor of Chicago. Anybody involved for this guy must live in the city.

We read where the Democrats want a nationwide boycott of Fox News. Ever wonder why? They just can’t stand that so many millions of viewers/listeners would have access the Fox’s facts rather than Biden’s so-called Democratic truths that they want us to believe.

I remember when I was younger, you could hop the L and go downtown, walk around, go to a show, go get something to eat. You never had to worry about anything. But now with Mayor Lightfoot, I don’t care what she says that shootings are down and killings are down, every day you read the paper about this woman that is not doing anything. More businesses are leaving downtown and going somewhere else. I can see why the Bears have left and everybody is leaving downtown.
