All these catastrophic events
For the person who praised our government officials for their “timely” response to East Palestine, Ohio: They did not respond immediately. In fact, if it weren’t for Fox News shaming the federal government and their constant reporting, no one would even know it happened. The incident occurred on Feb. 3, and the government didn’t even arrive until Feb. 12 as people were experiencing health issues. As of March 9, Norfolk Southern had not yet committed to any reimbursement for long-term medical costs, health care or economic recovery. You should be asking with all of these catastrophic events that have occurred since Joe took office, and the ineptness of those appointed to high-level government jobs, would you actually still have a job under those circumstances?
Redirect the money
I agree with “Student loans shouldn’t be forgiven.” You’re not the only angry Republican in this state. But, I’ve got an idea. Instead of the Biden administration paying off student loans, why don’t they help the small business people who went belly-up or are struggling as we’re coming out of a pandemic because Fauci and all the Democrats were lying and keeping this country shut down. Why don’t you give them $10,000 to $20,000 to help them so they can get on their feet, and possibly save their businesses? Or reimburse them for all these damages and theft done by these thugs because Democrats are soft on crime. Spread the money out to all the people that these Democrats hurt during this pandemic. Help the farmers who can’t even afford fertilizer anymore, and you can thank the Democrats for that, too. Unreal. And the sad thing is when they go to the polls, they’ll still vote Democrat.
He should be ashamed
Chucky Schumer should be ashamed of himself. The tapes are out there. We always went by the tapes and now that the tapes are out there, and you’re saying they’re a fake. He should be ashamed for manipulating the mainstream media. Now someone wants to bring out the truth, and you won’t let it be heard.
What a crock
This is in response to Lake Bluff doing a leaf blower ban. What a crock. They all make noise, in case you didn’t know it. Gas may be a little louder, but I wouldn’t buy an electric one if it was the last thing. I don’t know where Lake Bluff gets off telling people they can’t use them. That’s ridiculous. That’s communism. That’s actually what this country has turned into with idiots like the village of Lake Bluff.
