Yet another lie from the president
Do you see how President Biden and his administration are lining things up so they can blame everybody else? Notice that the secretary of defense and the head of state are on TV saying that we really don’t know how many Americans are in Afghanistan because when they come in, they’re supposed to sign in and when they leave they’re supposed to sign out. That’s a rouse. What they’re doing is saying we got as many out as we could by Aug. 31, Joe Biden’s day to get all the Americans out of Afghanistan, and then he’s going to say, “Well, we got as many out as we knew about, but those people who are still there, they didn’t register,” which will be yet another lie from the president.
It goes back to Biden
I’m calling in regard to a recent Talk of the County. He had it so wrong where he said our so-called intelligence community had it so wrong. The intelligence community had all the information. They gave the information to the Biden administration, who ignored the information. He would not listen to his advisers, who did what he wanted. So it goes back to Biden.
Get these homeless folks off the streets
I was in Round Lake, and spend a lot of time in Grayslake and Round Lake. I rarely if ever see homeless people on the corners. Very rarely. You get into Waukegan and Gurnee, and they come out in droves. What is it? Is it because we’re a bigger city? I’m tired of seeing the panhandlers, when we have jobs all over needing people. Let’s get these homeless folks off the streets.
Brick by brick
I don’t understand why we help other nations to rebuild, and spend trillions of dollars to do so, when I feel that will not happen to our country, God forbid if anything happens here. I don’t recall Germany and the U.S., or any other nation, helping them rebuild. Their own countrymen, brick by brick, rebuilt that country.
Fear being fed into you is the virus
I will say this one more time. I and my family listen to our doctor about the benefits and risks of a vaccine — a medical professional. Not lawmakers, the media, the Hollywood elite, the neighbors, the checkout clerk, but our doctor. If you have a medical issue which could be a risk for you or a family member, I respect if you don’t get vaccinated for something that has a recovery rate of 99%. Oh, and by the way, COVID rapid tests don’t tell you if you have the delta variant. It is assumed right now. It takes three to four weeks to determine, providing there’s enough vital sample remaining to do so. It’s here, is not going away and the fear being fed into you is the virus.
Good Ship America
Joe Biden runs the Good Ship America into an iceberg and now his administration wants to take credit for having enough light bulbs.
Beware
I’m watching the news and they’re talking about attacks in Kabul, Afghanistan, while we’re still trying to get people out of there. Beware America, this is our future. This is what we have to look forward to — terrorists coming over here and pulling this kind of stuff. Beware.
