Be careful
My heart breaks for the family of Tyree Nichols. Such a sad event, and so heartbreaking. But I blame the cities for hiring officers that maybe just squirmed by on their psychological tests and exams. It happens in all cities: North Chicago, Waukegan, Zion. It’s who you know is how you get the job. So maybe check your records cities, and be careful who you hire. And also be careful which scores you fudge.

Spare us
This is to the contributor of “Keep writing,” saying Republicans single-handedly ran up the national debt $8 trillion with a T: Let me refresh your memory. First of all, when Trump became president, he had to rebuild the military because under the Democrats our military was totally depleted. Borders were wide-open again under Obama. Trump pushed for the wall. He had it under control until Biden got in. We had a pandemic. Where do you think this money came from for vaccines, and all the ventilators, and every thing they needed to fight this? And it was also voted on bipartisan. Don’t sit there and keep pointing your fingers at the Republicans. Please spare all of us.
Corruption
More Top Picks Cables
Removal of national security documents sure seems to be a habit with the Democrats. Let’s not forget in 2003 under Clinton, his national security adviser removed classified documents. We all forget about that, don’t we? Let me refresh your memory about the corruption of these Democrats.
Crying liberals
Instead of this new gun bill they’re trying to force down our throats, how about you go after the people that are using guns illegally and throw their butts in jail? No ifs, ands or buts about it, that would make more sense instead of penalizing people like myself and my son who go to the range and go shooting. I don’t even hunt animals. We just enjoy shooting, but it seems every weapon I own doesn’t have the capacity levels that these clowns want. Well, I’m sorry. I’m not throwing away thousands of dollars’ worth of handguns to make a bunch of crying liberals happy.
