Chicago is about to hit rock bottom. I hope all the people who voted for Brandon Johnson are ready to hide in their houses for at least the next four years. Johnson and State’s Attorney Kim Foxx are both going to let all the criminals out. It’s not the parents fault that the kids weren’t taught the difference between right and wrong. It’s society’s fault. So none will be guilty because it’s not their fault. Thanks for nothing.

I just saw the violence in Chicago on TV over the weekend. Maybe if someone would bring in sharpshooters and shoot to kill, this violence would end. It’s not only happening in Chicago, it’s all over the major cities. Something needs to be done.

In regards to the recent urban youth wilding downtown, the mayor-elect says don’t demonize the youth because of their actions. It seems that the tourists visiting Chicago, now being a totally broke city with a woke state’s attorney and probably will have a woke police chief, should be in for quite an Illuminating time. Thankfully, I stay out of Chicago.

The new mayor, Brandon Johnson, is making excuses about riots downtown and unruly behavior of those people because of no opportunity. Here’s an opportunity for them, get a job like we did at 16 years old and make some money instead of breaking into stores and stealing from the owners. There’s signs all over the place hiring people in every store and fast food place.

It’s amazing how gullible most people are to be influenced by a celebrity spokesperson. This Bud Light boycott is ridiculous. The beer tastes the same whether it’s endorsed by Dylan Mulvaney or Spuds McKenzie. I will never, nor have I ever, purchased a product as the result of a celebrity endorsement or mascot.

A recent column by Bloomberg states the federal government should pay for public child care so mothers can work. I’m sorry, but taxpayers do not have to pay to care for your child. Neither should we have to pay for schools to provide breakfast or lunch for your child. These are parental obligations that parents must provide and nobody else. Quit the freeloading.
