God have mercy on our country
If Trump gets arrested, I pray that people will not get riled up, for he’s doing the same thing that caused Jan. 6. He likes to incite people. He doesn’t care if you lose everything and go to prison. If it were us doing what he has done, we would have been arrested a long time ago. He thinks he can do whatever he wants. Like he said, he could shoot somebody in Times Square and people would still vote for him. I pray that people are wiser and have learned from the past. God have mercy on our country,
Not so friendly
More Top Picks Best Breville Toaster Ovens
I find it very interesting that the conversations continue to be about more open spaces, more environmentally friendly spaces and other nature areas, but we continue to build solar fields that take up farmland, housing space and other open spaces. Since when are solar fields environmentally friendly?
Reveal the names
It is amazing that a juvenile will commit a crime, and the law protects them from letting the public know who he or she is. I hope I am not living next to them for my own safety. I have already been threatened once already by a juvenile. All criminal names should be known to the public no matter what the age is.
Admitted in court
Here we go again. Tucker splices together 183 seconds of video out of 21,000 hours, and the zombie followers start to foam at the mouth barely able to control themselves, regurgitating the 0.1% of the event. Fox is synonymous with lies. Ruppy Murdoch, the owner, admitted it in court.
Stop apologizing
To the person that always starts or ends their statement with, “I’m sorry”: Either shut up or stop apologizing. You’re more annoying than the boneheaded Bone Spur people.
City of Stagnation
Waukegan has self-branded itself for at least 60 years as the City of Progress. That has been a stretch for the last 40 years, as industry and retail left, downtown became a ghost town and the lakefront was declared an EPA hot spot. Progress, if any, gradually slowed down to a trickle, and decay started to set in. Under Ann Taylor progress has stopped completely, and the decay has accelerated. Under Taylor’s leadership the city motto is at best the City of Stagnation, and that is kind because I have heard much worse. Waukegan deserves better.
Not so transparent
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy explained why he released the 40,000-plus hours of Jan. 6, 2021 security tapes to Faux News. He wanted “transparency” about Jan. 6. Faux News has about 4 million viewers, out of the over 300 million people in the United States. Thus, it will be transparent to only 1.33% of the United States population. If the speaker really wanted to be transparent, he would have released it to all of the major real-news media outlets.
