The Trump Quicklies just write themselves.

Trump is complaining, very loudly, that “mere allegations” can destroy lives. Yet he didn’t care when he, very loudly, and consistently, made outrageous, false and dangerous allegations about many people to suit his fancy. Even after his allegations were proven to be false, he wouldn’t apologize or retract his lies. He is the last person to talk about victimization.

Vice President Mike Pence wouldn’t stand for Korea at the Olympics. Will President Trump give him a good talking to for being an embarrassment the America? Nope, that was a pre-arranged stunt just like the Colts football game.

I’m not sure why everyone is so wound up about Rob Porter repeatedly beating all of his wives and girlfriends. It’s not like he was kneeling during the National Anthem or anything.

It’s rather amazing that President Obama was able to staff his administration for 8 years without having any of these kind of problems. Why do you think that is?

Long after this president is out of office, history will remember the cowards who kept quiet and let this travesty go on.

The Lake County SWAT team were called out to a situation in Lowell. Another situation with a man with firearms and young children in the house. Will this madness ever end?

Is there anyone else out there trying to watch the 2018 Olympics? If you watch very carefully, every once in a while you’ll get to see some actual sporting event. Between the ungodly amount of commercials and the minutes of network host just talking, NBC sometimes shows sporting events. Hey NBC, I’ve decided not to watch your live coverage because, well simply its not enjoyable. I’ll just DVR it and it won’t take just over an hour to watch all of the day’s events that you show.

In 2017, nearly 50 percent of all burglary suspects gained access through an unlocked door or window. Twenty-five percent were committed by a friend, family member, ex or employee. Watch those people that you allow in your inner circle!

Doesn’t look like any charges coming in the Russia collusion Witch Hunt from Mueller and his team after wasting a ton of tax payers money. The only thing left is the melt down coming from the fools, who believe the Fake News net-works like MSNBC and CNN. LOL just writing this quickly.

People with pre-existing mental health conditions have access to firearms, but not health care. Thanks Mr. Trump.

Powerful people’s lives are being upset by the little people. that’s very frightening to the billionaire class. They had become so very comfortable getting away with whatever they liked.

Gary is trying to force all of it’s workers to live within it’s city. That is simply not fair. You will lose quality employees that live outside the boundaries. Maybe just give those that live in Gary an additional perk or bonus.

What is wrong with an adult that can’t enjoy a family celebration of any kind, without resenting the honoree? They actually get mad because they are not the center of attention and they are not the recipient of the gifts.

What happens to kids when they become young adults? All of a sudden they know everything. They want to challenge their parents on everything. They openly criticize them as if they have become the authority.
