Don’t worry about Tucker: While it appears Tucker Carlson has difficulty differentiating truth from fiction, he had no such problem seeing the handwriting on the wall at Fox News. But it’s unlikely he’ll have any problems finding future employment — not with the current demand for disinformation these days.
Takes two to tango: Why is it always the heavy on women and abortion? Don’t men have have a responsibility for women getting pregnant? Men can use protection! Also, if abortion will not happen and babies are born and then put up for adoption, who is going to adopt all these children?
Gonna be a long year: Let’s face facts: Joe Biden is too old, Trump is too corrupt, DeSantis is just plain dumb and everyone else is uninteresting. The 2024 election figures to be much too long and divisive and the best reason yet for reform in how we choose our next president.
Sox players disappoint: White Sox ballplayers should feel guilty accepting a paycheck. There are a lot of fans who work for a living and expect to be entertained. Turn in your uniforms and let the fans play. It would be more entertaining
What a mess: Joe Biden announces his candidacy while Donald Trump leads the Republican 2024 primary race? Should the Democratic voter support an aged president or seek a lesser-known candidate? Should the Republican voter support Trump or seek a lesser-known candidate? He is currently leading in popularity, but facing the accusations to overthrow the 2020 election and leading an insurrection. Both parties are in confusion!
Don’t make excuses: Could the soon-to-be mayor of Chicago and others please stop making excuses for the thugs who roamed downtown Chicago, doing damage and hurting and terrorizing people? They say they did it because they don’t have jobs or anything to do. Oh please, don’t insult our intelligence. They are teenage lawbreakers that are soon to be adult lawbreakers.
