To simplify things for the the few remaining Trump supporters: The President’s campaign manager just was indicted for conspiracy against the United States.

Every time that I hear a Republican say that Special Counsel Robert Mueller needs to resign or be removed, I know how scared they must be. If there is nothing to hide, then let the investigation play out.

Why is my tax money being spent on Russian election influence on periods way back before the election process even started — five years ago? I bought a tire made in Russia from a well known tire website. Am I under scrutiny? Jail? The tire barely lasted two years anyway.

The entire GOP is only interested in investigating Russia when Hillary Clinton’s name is involved. Funny how that works.

It certainly says something about the City of Hobart that they would be so capricious. It’s not okay for them to come along one day and say it’s fine for a family to keep a pet pig, and then come along again and tell them it has to be gotten rid of. What it says it they don’t care that our pets are our family too, and by extension, they don’t care about our families’ welfare. Shame on you, Ron Russo and Mayor Snedecor; I thought my city had more heart than that.

Well, winter will soon be upon us and Park Avenue in Wheeler is still a washboard mess. I guess the county never intends to fix the road, but just put patches on top of patches and let those people jiggle all the way home.

Medical marijuana is a potential solution to the opioid problem that our leadership will not consider. The prison lobbyists must be in favor of keeping their jail cells full.

In the NFL, the prisoners are indeed running the prison. The owners better get together and stop this racist rebellion before it spreads to other professional sports or the entire nation. By the owners burying their heads in the sand and taking no action, nothing is getting accomplished. Keep in mind that there are thousands of other real American boys out there willing to play NFL football, especially for a million bucks.

The only way tax cuts stimulate growth is if they are given to people that need the money. If you give these cuts to the wealthy, they will go to offshore accounts and it will give them more money to donate to political causes. Which means their opinions matter in future laws and regulations.

This year we are having a Republican Halloween. We give the first 1% of the kids to our door all of the candy and trust that they will give adequate shares to all of the other kids … It should work out, right?

Former House Speaker John Boehner said “We’ve got some of the smartest people in America who serve in Congress and we’ve got some of the dumbest. We have some of the nicest people you’d ever want to meet, and some that are Nazis. Congress is nothing more than a slice of America.”

The internet is supposed to update all records and make everything incredibly fast. Yet every time somebody goofs, they use the excuse that there is a problem with paperwork.

Chicago is working on a marketing idea to make riding a bus sexy. Sorry, riding a bus is not sexy, neither is driving a car, or food, or every other thing that these marketing companies seem to be using to tag their items.

You think liberals like to get paid for not working? That could be the theme of the ultra rich, they not only don’t work, they get rich off the labor of others.

Why does Fox News think that Hillary Clinton lives in the White House and that this is her administration?

Let’s keep in mind that Watergate resulted in 69 indictments and that was a speeding ticket compared to this administration.
