There are a lot of men commenting that the judge in the Larry Nasser trial went overboard in her treatment of the doctor. This doctor victimized at least 160 young girls.

Do you know who typically creates conspiracy theories over why law enforcement is after them? Criminals … guilty criminals at the end of their ropes.
Yes, we need to stop the flow of American jobs to other countries. To get the ball rolling, you can simply go to your employer and tell him you are willing to work for the same pay and benefits as a worker in Malaysia, Vietnam, Mexico, Sri Lanka, etc. Of course, you will have to adjust your standard of living accordingly, but eventually you will adapt to poverty level earnings. Sound good to you? It doesn’t to me.
Lake County Councilman Jamal Washington has filed to run for Lake County Board of Commissioners. He is a convicted batterer and is facing new domestic violence charges and is literally thumbing his nose at any ethics laws. Come on Lake County, we deserve better than this.

I didn’t realize that to be a member of the FBI, or other intel, you had to vote for the current president.
The latest data from the National Travel and Tourism Office shows travel to the U.S. has steadily declined since President Trump took office in 2017. The “Trump Slump” caused $4.6 billion in lost spending and 40,000 jobs.
A Washington Post-ABC News poll found that 50 percent of all Americans think members of Trump’s campaign team colluded with Russia to try to influence the 2016 election. 49 percent think that Trump tried to interfere with the Russian investigation in a way that amounts to obstruction of justice.
The list of corporations giving large bonuses to employees because of the recent GOP tax cuts just keeps on getting bigger by the day — Home Depot and Chrysler today. Makes me mad that I retired and missed out. No bonuses on Social Security, and I am still paying my Obamacare surcharge on my Medicare.
Why is the GOP reacting so strongly to the gossip between two co-workers of the FBI? Employees at every place of employment are guilty of doing the same thing.
