No craziness for 15 months
Let’s see, it has been approximately 15 months now and we have not heard one crazy, wacky lie, or one drink-some-chloroquine wackiness. None of this crazy stuff. No wild, baldfaced lies right out of the president’s mouth. None of that craziness for the last 15 months. Isn’t it nice that we don’t have to put up with that unhinged lunatic’s ramblings?
Cold but true
I’m calling in response to the individual who sent in the entry entitled “Let them marry,” which was concerning the fall of many Catholic churches because of the lack of priests. If you look into history, you’ll find that it’s not a theological or religious reason that priests are not allowed to marry. It’s purely financial. The Catholic Church did not want to share the funds with the families that were left behind when priests passed. They did not want to have to provide financially for wives and children of priests. It may seem cold, but it’s true. The money, and what they could do with it, was more important.
He’s not telling you the truth
I hope all you people aren’t fooled by our illustrious Gov. Pritzker. He’s going to give us money back, and cut back on the gas tax, and all this other stuff. He’s trying to buy the election again, people. Once he’s reelected — if he is and I hope he’s not — it’ll go back to the same thing on the gas prices. And the taxes will be even higher than what they are now. It’s time to get rid of this billionaire bozo and put a real person in there that cares about the people of the state of Illinois, not his ego. Just don’t believe it. He’s not telling you the truth.
Buffaloes can be very mean
I’ve been reading about this Billy the Buffalo. What is wrong with this country that we can’t go get that thing? It’s a very simple process. You go out, you shoot him with a tranquilizer gun and you pen him in a trailer and take him home. If that thing ever decides to get mean, he can kill people: adults, little kids, destroy property. It’s a disgrace. I was around cattle and horses. When they got loose, you had to get them in immediately. And this person who owns them should be fined. Since September? This is a disgrace. Buffaloes can be very mean.
What’s next
A Washington outsider, Donald Trump, came to the White House and what did we have? We had a low inflation rate of 1.6%. We had low energy prices, and our own energy source. We got a tax cut and people had higher wages. Now, we have Washington insiders in there — Biden. So what do we have? Runaway inflation rate, high energy prices — possibly even a shortage — a war that we probably wouldn’t have had with Donald Trump. And, who knows what’s next? Food shortages too?
Ugliest towns
Why did North Chicago get rid of their forest preserve? North Chicago is one of the ugliest towns next to Waukegan. Why would you get rid of a nice preserve? North Chicago, you’re not thinking with a straight deck of cards.
Pony up
Ukraine is having a rough time. But, we here in the United States, everything is going good. We have a president that doesn’t get up there and lie to us every single day. Maybe Biden should take a page from Bone Spur’s book and start calling the Republicans vile, and scum of the Earth, and stuff like that. Is that what you people want? I’d rather have a president that has a brain, and a little bit of compassion. How about you, folks? And about the price of gas, it’s because of the war in Ukraine, obviously, and like all you conservatives and Republicans have been saying for years, freedom is not free. So, pony up, boys.
Who’s the fool?
This is in reply to “Bad polls.” I don’t know where you get this misinformation that Biden’s polls are bad only because they poll Republicans. And, let’s say it’s even true. We don’t need polls to tell the American people to look at their gas pumps, look at their grocery stores, look at their borders. We don’t need polls to tell us that this fool doesn’t know how to run a country. And now, who’s the fool? Honey, you are still the fool.
