God bless America
My heart is breaking for our country because of all the shootings and killings going on nationwide. My heart is breaking for Highland Park because of the shootings that happened during their Fourth of July parade. People are dead, more are injured and towns like Deerfield and Glenview canceled their Fourth of July parades. I always see in the News-Sun people saying shootings happen only in Waukegan in Zion. Well, they happen everywhere. Please, someone wake up. Start capturing these people and put them in prison. Bring back the death penalty. You kill someone, you deserve the death penalty. Let’s get some politicians with some stronger principles, and politicians that will do something to help make our country stronger. God bless America.
Tell me why
Hey Trumplican lovers: I need one of you to call in to Talk to the County and tell me why all these Republican congressman want pardons. What do they want a pardons for? What did they do that they need a pardon? Would one of you Trump lovers please call in and explain that to me?
Bring back the death penalty
I read in the paper about all the fairs and concerts coming up. I can’t believe that anybody would even go to that after what just happened in Highland Park, and Texas, and all this other stuff. I’d be scared to be a guy in a crowd. Just think about county fairs. My God, that’s an open house for some idiot. Why would you even decide to have fairs, especially now? This country’s going to hell unless we start punishing these people the way they need to be punished, with the death penalty. This guy should have been walked out the back of the station and put to death. We don’t want to reform them. I’m sorry, but a lot of innocent people get killed for no reason because of our government won’t bring back the death penalty.
Too stupid
President Biden can’t figure out why his approval ratings are down the toilet. That shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. As far as American citizens can tell, he can’t figure out how to get out of any crisis situations. His administration has personally manufactured those crises and it looks like he really doesn’t care, and really doesn’t want to fix them. And if he does want to fix them, he’s too stupid to figure it out because he hasn’t figured out anything yet.
It’s OK
Fireworks are illegal in the state of Illinois and many other states. But guns, you can have one. It’s OK.
Blood on your hands
Nobody needs an AR-15 or AK-47. There is no reason to have an assault rifle. There’s nothing that you can do with an assault rifle except kill people. Now, you’re going to hear the goofy NRA and all those people keep bumping their gums and say. “Well they’re for protection.” I want you to tell me how many crimes were prevented by someone having an AR-15, versus how many people are killed in mass shootings by people using an AR-15 or another type of assault rifle. We had that 10-year ban on the assault rifle. It worked. The goofy Republicans let it expire. The Republicans have blood on their hands. Every time one of these people out there takes an AR-15 or AK-47 and does what they did in Highland Park, or Uvalde, Texas, all the way down to preschools, think about it, you Republicans. You’ve got blood on your hands.
You are the problem
The Democrats are not obsessed with punishing Trump for defeating Hillary. We as a country were punished enough during those four arduous years. The Democrats are obsessed with holding Trump accountable for trying to overturn an election. If insurrection isn’t a concern of yours, then you are residing in the wrong country. If you don’t believe that someone’s vote should count, then you are the antithesis of what it means to be American. You are the problem.
