Just kidding

It looks like Joe Biden has got another winner in Ketanji Brown Jackson. I’m just kidding. He picks her as a Supreme Court justice and her favorite answer is I don’t know.

Are you really stupid?

This is in reply to “Talking points.” This is to the point I’m not going to even waste my breath anymore. But I do have to say this — if Biden is leading this country and we’re thriving with his solid leadership, how come he’s polling at 33%? What does that tell you? Are you really stupid?

Public service announcement

A simple solution to the morons who keep hitting the bridge in Long Grove: You take two posts. You put them on either side of the road, 50 feet before the bridge. You put an L bracket on top of the posts. You put a four-by-four or a six-by-six beam across the road at the same height as the bridge would be if they hit it. And then you move the signs 50 feet farther away from the bridge, because the 50 feet of warning doesn’t give them enough time. Then you put the 50 feet of warning before the L bracket with the six by six on top of it. If the moron hits the six-by-six, it falls off and crushes his hood, and he realizes he’s going to damage the bridge. Then, you have a way to get the six by six back up on the L bracket, and that solves the problem because people will have crushed hoods on their cars before they hit the bridge. This as has been a public service announcement.

That would be fun

About two years from right now, the presidential election season will be cranking up full blast. And I wonder who will be the front runners. I don’t see Joe Biden running. He’ll be too old. Kamala, she can’t run because she’ll never get the votes. Bone Spur won’t be running on the Republican side because he’ll probably still be finishing his sentence, and who knows who they might come up with. I don’t think they can run Pence or any of those other bozos. Maybe that clown Cruz might run. That would be fun.

Pray for our country

This is in reply to “Those days are gone.” Yes, we dodged a bullet, Democrats not getting that Sarah Bloom Raskin in. But worse than that, we better hope we dodge this bullet with Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court. Listen to these hearings about that woman. This is scary, and she very well may get elected because she’s got every Democratic vote. Just pray for our county.

Life should not be so hard

Life shouldn’t be so hard, people. I remember the simpler times. But in today’s world, with the woke. It can become so difficult, and then you wonder why people are committing suicide. Life is tough now. Very tough, but life should not be so hard.

I don’t understand it

What’s with this medical field these days? I noticed I rarely go to a physician, but I noticed that they clock you for the time you are there. Who required this? Medicare, or physicians, or the hospitals they belong to? I think it’s ridiculous. I went into one place. I looked what they put down — 95 minutes. This is ridiculous. Some people need more time due to their condition. I don’t understand it.
