President Obama backers and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton backers, I highly recommend that you do not go see that movie “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.” You will either be blaming your heroes or you will be calling everybody a liar regarding the 2012 attack in Libya.

Well, I’m glad I listened to Fox News. They come across with the true stuff, your solid baloney, more than other companies. I can’t figure this one out. Planned Parenthood wants to sue the Center for Medical Progress, the people that put their foot in the door to check them out. How come people don’t sue the people that were in there killing those babies the wrong way? Why don’t they take them to court and put them in jail? Something doesn’t sound right.

What are the odds on the Hoosier Lottery betting that going to vote for any kind of president or any office in this country anymore is nothing but a paid advertisement and it’s fixed? Does anybody want to be on that one? I’ll give 2-to-1 odds.

Is it true that the politically correct police are on the move again? Now they want people to quit chanting “Merry Christmas,” “Happy new year” and “USA.” Well, Merry Christmas, happy new year and USA, USA, USA.

Did everybody’s car insurance go up like mine did? My goodness. My car is a year older, but the price still went up. What’s with this? I thought it was just car insurance.

I got a big laugh over Jerry Davich’s column, the one where he interviewed Eric Dahl, the white guy who lives in Gary and seems to know all about the black experience. Well, he never will know the black experience although he’s married to a black woman. Unless you are a black person, you don’t understand the black experience. Who is he anyway to speak for all white people on how they feel toward black people?

Does anybody feel sorry for former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton since the movie “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” was released? They’re really showing everybody just how great she really is when it comes to the 2012 attack in Libya. Boy, I can’t wait until that Democratic candidate is voted in as president. What a great woman she is.

It’s sad if you don’t believe in a higher power. I’ll pray for you. I’ll also pray for those of us who are so loud in expressing their faith they forget to act like Christians. I’m talking to you supporters of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Do you remember when former Gov. Mitch Daniels told us the state had to have more money? So taxes were raised. Then Mitch and current Gov. Mike Pence touted how much money there is in their savings accounts aka the state surplus, but they don’t fix bridges or roads until a tragedy happens.

Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson said she wants to build a statue of the late Roosevelt Allen Jr. in the city of Gary. Now how can she afford to build a statue of this Lake County commissioner when the Gary Community School Corp. doesn’t have any money? Our roads and our streets are bad. Couldn’t you use that money in other ways than to build a statue of someone who hasn’t done anything for Gary?

As far as Roy Lee Ward, the prisoner on Indiana’s Death Row wanting to sue for the state’s disregard of its own rules and procedures and get his day in court, like I commented before, don’t waste your time with all the cocktail drugs for the execution. Put them to sleep. Do it the old-fashioned, good, quick way. Use carbon monoxide and be done with it. They’ll be out. They’ll never know what happened to them. I guarantee it works. Ask euthanasia activist Jack Kevorkian.

Does anybody think that when President Obama came up through the ranks from senator and was running for president that maybe at one point in time he might have been like civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr.? Obama had a dream and then he ran on that “hope and change.” I think I just found the hope and change. It’s Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. He’s the great white hope and he has a lot of change.
