What a jerk

This is in regards to the so-called State of the Union speech by Bonehead Biden. That was a pat-myself-on-the-back and how-great-I-am speech. It was just a pile of garbage, a waste of time, a waste of money, a waste of effort, and a joke. What a jerk.

Classic liberal state

I’d like to comment on your worthless entry, “Focus on Firearms.” Classic liberal newspaper in a classic liberal state that is bound by countless firearm restrictions and firearm laws, all basically penalizing lawful firearm users. Why don’t you say focus on crime? How about not having cash bail? How about allowing people in a recent article to legally change their names after they were being convicted felons? I mean this state does nothing to protect the citizens. You’re attacking regular, lawful firearm users who care about things like Highland Park, and those people would never do anything like that. You’re talking about psychopaths that do not care about laws.

Get it right

This is to the caller who said Republicans didn’t run up the deficit. The tax cuts happened in 2017. The coronavirus came in 2020. Let’s get it right.

Horse manure

You’ve got a laugh that Elon Musk took over Twitter, and Jack Dorsey is now criticizing him. It’s funny if somebody buys Twitter to clean out the horse manure from the stalls, and the guy who threw all the horse manure in the stalls is criticizing the guys trying to clean it up. Sounds like Democratic politics to me. You know, Democrats make the mess and then somebody else has to come in and clean it up. Then they criticize you about the way you’re cleaning it up.

Not a climate change denier

“Keep it up” was responding to my contribution on gas stoves, dryers and furnaces being banned by the Democratic Marxists. I’m not a climate change denier. I just don’t believe that it’s an existential threat. That would be an immediate threat to the world, for Democrats who don’t know what existential means. And I’m not a conspiracy theorist. It just shows the absolute ignorance of the useful idiot Democrats. Here are some facts: The Biden administration can’t get stoves banned through Congress. So like Obama, he goes around the law by regulating through the Energy Department, which last week proposed a de facto ban. Democrats use force and the unelected regulators to bend the world in their favor, even if they have to cheat and lie. Just like the electric cars. If they’re so damn great, stop the subsidies.
