What is a 14-year-old from Portage Township doing out at 1:30 a.m. driving a car through Portage and Gary? Where is his parent? The child shouldn’t be locked up alone. The police should have went to the child’s home, got the parent and took them right along with the child.
Weeks ago they interviewed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s wife, Melania. Now she was sitting in this room loaded with gold everywhere. She said all her homes are filled with gold. Now can you imagine Trump going to our plain Jane White House? Sorry, Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders. Trump will make everything gold: the Blue Room, the lounges, the bathrooms, everywhere. Maybe he might even make the front door gold. Now come on, folks. Our beautiful White House of the United States will be known as Donald Duck Trump Gold House. Could we take that? I don’t think so.
I just read an article which states that Major League Baseball has ownership stakes in either fantasy sports operator DraftKings or FanDuel. Now how can baseball be involved in illegal gambling? They’ve banned Pete Rose for gambling on ball games while playing for and managing the Cincinnati Reds. Yet, these hypocrites are doing exactly what they banned him from baseball for.
That was such a nice article in the Post-Tribune about many cultures and one goal. I think black and white people have been together for many, many, many, many years, and I think we’ve already tried to get along. It’s not perfect but hey, they accept us and I accept them. I’m glad to see that they came together and they worked as one unit. Civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. would really have been real happy with that one. They stopped that GEO Group Inc. immigration detention center coming to Gary, and it shows that there’s strength in unity. I’m glad to see people come together. God bless you all and god bless America.
I wonder if former President Bill Clinton will make a good first lady if Democratic presidential candidate and his wife, Hillary, wins the election.
I can only watch the Chicago White Sox play baseball if announcer Hawk Harrelson is televising it. He’s one of a kind.
I think Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is jealous of the Clintons because they’re still married and he’s on his third attempt. There’ll probably be a fourth. Also, what about his adulterous affair with Marla Maples, who became his second wife after Ivana Trump, and his bragging about sleeping with married women, and this guy is throwing stones? Give me a break.
To 6th District Councilwoman LaVetta Sparks-Wade: I invite you to ride down 49th Avenue and Jefferson Street. Make sure you have on your seat belt, safety glasses and protective gear so you don’t get hurt. There are over 50 different potholes just waiting for you. Good luck. I hope you make it.
