No disrespect
Is there anything that you cannot complain about? Kari Lake, oh wow, didn’t stand for the song that some singer sang. There is only one American anthem, people. So, stop separating the races. We are under one country, one God. Otherwise, you might as well bring China, Russia and everybody else into our country and celebrate each and every anthem, which we respectfully do during the Olympics. There is no disrespect under Kari Lake. She is someone that is respectful toward all races.
A lot of traffic
Those who feel that the Bears have a chance at Arlington Heights: If they’re going to build that stadium, they’re going to have to build 53. Route 53 has to extend to Lake County because there’s going to be a lot of traffic. A lot of infrastructure needs to be changed around in order to accommodate that big stadium in Arlington Heights.

Most incompetent administration
The U.S. says that Russia has committed atrocities and hate crimes in Ukraine. That was obvious on day one of the war that started last year when Russia crossed the border into Ukraine, but thank God that Vice President Harris, who is in charge of getting to the root cause of everything, came out and confirmed what we’ve already known for over a year. Congratulations to the most incompetent administration in the history of American administrations.
Who did what
Biden didn’t have anything to do with getting the wall done. He just stopped paying for it. He didn’t want to continue it. He let more immigrants, many more a day, come in than ever before and he’s always tooting his own horn about all the things he did. It’s like COVID. He didn’t get COVID out. It was Trump who pushed to get that out faster. I’m not saying Biden isn’t trying, but he lies about who did what.
Leftist Marxist socialist
Paul Krugman wrote on the opinion page in the Lake County News-Sun, “Which party is the one out of touch.” Of course, it’s conservatives because Paul Krugman is a leftist Marxist socialist.
In the pockets
I’m a senior citizen and I would just like to mention that Illinois state taxes are so high. In most states, once you turn 65, you don’t have to pay any school taxes. When I look at my tax bill, the majority of my bill is a school district, meaning grade school, high school and junior college. If I was 65 in parts of Georgia, I wouldn’t pay any of that, and if I didn’t have to pay that my taxes would be way lower and I could stay in Illinois. But the state of Illinois is in the pockets of the teachers union, which is a corrupt union.
