Ward supporter: Hats off to Jeanette Ward, who is about the only brains we have in our U46 board. School and religion should not mix unless it is a religious school. Let’s get more people on the board like her. God bless her.
No Home Rule in East Dundee: This is about home rule in East Dundee. Please, don’t vote for home rule. It is the biggest mistake you can ever make as you can well see in the downtown area of East Dundee. We have spent more money on their crap and given them tax breaks, and we still don’t have a grocery store or good streets. Why do you people want to continue to vote for these people? They all need to be replaced. They are worthless. Especially the mayor, who has property where you can’t even park in front or you’ll be hauled away.
Trump ‘s best interest: As much as I don’t like Donald Trump, he is still my president. I still stand by him when it comes to protecting this country, which brings me to the fact he is putting our country’s best interest behind him. It’s OK if you like Donald Trump. But when he starts putting his own interests before the nation, it’s just ludicrous.
Enough of U-46 controversy: This U-46 religious controversy is just ridiculous. Jesus is our Christian God. If you don’t believe he is the son of God, you have a different God. Plain and simple. Let’s end the discussion. Enough already.
Proper punishment: In regards to the West Aurora brawl, I didn’t think they fought on the west side. Anyway, what I’m calling about: kicking the kids out of school. Really, in this day and age? There’s already enough running the streets and not studying. How about good old-fashioned detention for two or three weeks or helping pick up things around the school. Better yet, how about printing out our Constitution from beginning to end? They might learn something. Kick them out onto streets, let them be on the street doing drugs and let them join gangs? That’s not a solution. Make them do something that they don’t want to do for a change.
A new reality: It’s a new day for government in Illinois and the Fox Valley Park District is about to find that fact out. People are overtaxed and will not be supporting still another local tax referendum. Get rid of your big salaries, lay off some people, privatize some services and operate your facilities with the money you have. That’s the new reality.
Protest legally: It is true that vets sacrificed for the right to protest but not to destroy buildings, destroy people’s jobs. Stealing or breaking into places. Let’s get straight on that. It is OK to protest, but do it in the middle of the street and don’t block people. Don’t break windows. Don’t hurt people.
No Trump fan: I know some of you love Donald Trump so much. The others of you really hate his predecessor. It is just crazy. You can be in denial all you want to, but you know this is the most lying person you’d ever come across. He is a downright liar.
Military parade a waste of money: The president keeps talking about how he wants to do a package, he needs money for the military. For what? So he can bring the military here and appease himself and have the military march down the street in Washington. What is up with that? Does he want to show off the military? We don’t need to do this. While he is begging money to build up our military, he wants to spend money on a parade. Someone stop this idiot from watching TV.
Pensions in park district: The article about the generous salary being paid to the director of the Naperville Park District while he also collects a nice police pension was alarming. But did you know there are two retired directors from the Fox Valley Park District who are collecting annual pensions of over $190,000 a year plus regular increases? Let that sink in a bit. Consider this abuse of your money before you vote on that park district referendum.
Faith in America: Christianity is forced, at least in America, to accept the programs of the Democrats. Abortion. Any and all, same-sex love fest. Anything that goes against the Old Testament. The God who represents this nation has a horn and pointed tail.
Change in education: Competition is the only answer for change in education. Competition works for business, sports, entertainment and romance. Why not education? It will raise all standards. Talk alone won’t do it. More funding will not do it. High standards linked with truth in packaging will produce growth for our nation. History proves it.
A thought to ponder: Let’s talk about Elon Musk. He is a real stud. He is a really smart man. He is also a man that gets things done. And he is a person that wants to help this great country and he is making some great contributions. He is doing it all with his own money, not other people’s money. He loves this country and he wants to do whatever he can to help it. He has a lot of things going on and has done countless other things to help this country. Did I mention he is also an immigrant?
