Kiss conservative values goodbye
So, Gov. Pritzker gave a partisan, socialist speech touting a $49.6 billion state budget. He also announced a preschool expansion plan. The plan is called Smart Start Illinois — just another social experiment welfare plan aimed at providing preschool to all, not just day care. This is your tax dollars that you will have to add to your tax bill, whether you’re single, have no children, retired, etc. In Pritzker’s speech, he was extremely divisive, calling out Republicans, conservatives and calling us nationalists. He listed us as demagogues, ideologues and right-wing. Now that Democrats have control over much of Illinois such as Lake, McHenry and DuPage counties, you can kiss your conservative values goodbye. He will become just like those East Coast and West Coast liberals heading into debt status. This is what happens when you vote Democratic.
Hypocrite
People have complaints throughout the city of Waukegan, and the mayor doesn’t care. Mayor Ann Taylor is a hypocrite. If it’s not happening in her backyard or her chief of staff’s backyard, she ignores the issues.

You’ll be the one crying
It’s depressing that Biden and his administration have sold out America to more than one country: China, Ukraine, and I’m suspecting Russia. If you don’t believe it, that’s on you. Give it another two years, and you’ll be the one crying.
Sweep off your steps
This is in regard to the person who wrote “Love it”: What about all the lies that Biden tells? Please, will you Democrats sweep off your steps before you sweep off ours?
Teach these kids
This is in response to “Irresponsible and stupid” about the Waukegan schools. Yeah, that is stupid: buying a building, which they should have never done, and then give it out for mental health and food services. That’s not what the schools are about. Schools are about teaching the kids. giving them an education. These schools are getting out of hand. They need to learn first to teach the kids. That’s what they’re getting paid to do. These kids are becoming more stupid than ever, and that’s ridiculous. And Waukegan, they’re a joke. I mean, they give themselves pay hikes. Come on. They don’t deserve it. Look at what they’re putting out. It’s ridiculous. Schools have got to go back to what they were supposed to do: teach these kids and that’s it. Get some education into them.
Show me the proof
I’m a little tired of hearing that Trump did nothing about the balloons. All you Democrats are doing are deflecting because that moron got caught by a reporter letting a balloon go all the way across our secure military areas before he shot it down. He didn’t even know it was floating there. And you keep saying Trump did it, too, and the only person I’ve heard that out of their mouths is you Democratic senators. I haven’t heard one four-star general say that. I haven’t heard Gen. Austin or any of them in the Biden administration say that. It’s only coming from senators, and any other moron that CNN can get on their show. Show me the proof that Trump sat there and let balloons float across this country and I’ll eat my hat, and you can spoon-feed it to me. Pay attention to who’s feeding that lie. It’s not any generals.
