Complete misrepresentation: In this paper, a columnist said Trump “likely” killed many Americans when he was irresponsible during the start of the COVID pandemic. Wow. How the left can completely ignore the endless streams of drug dealers, gang members, murderers, rapists and possible terrorists coming in our country, thanks to Joe Biden, yet they say nothing! Drugs are coming across the border and killing our youth like never before and what is Joe doing about it? Anything? If he is, he’s keeping it a secret. His job is to protect the American people and he has failed miserably. He’s more worried if an American owns a 9mm gun or makes a mistake on their taxes.
Mar-a-Lago raid: The feds came a-knockin’ at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home Monday night but it wasn’t for a cookout or an open house. And while no one knows for sure why they were present, rumor has it the disgraced ex-president is using classified information as a fire starter for his new barbeque grill.
Criminal pension: Read Ted Slowik’s column about the Lincoln-Way school superintendent. All I can say is I guess crime does pay. No one on any taxpayer salary should ever receive salaries that would generate a pension of this size.
Kansans made right choice: Hooray to the citizens of Kansas of both political parties for overwhelmingly rejecting the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Finally the people get a chance to say what they want. I was especially proud of all the Republicans who voted for choice for women instead of having legislators decide what to do with their bodies. They’re allowing women to make their own choices. Bravo.
Abortion can’t be defended: I would like to comment on abortion. These are tiny little lives that God has created and you abortionists have decided to kill. However you want to look at it, your right or not, some day you will stand before God and have to explain to him why you killed his child.
Ross just as bad: I’ve been reading all these comments about the Sox manager Tony La Russa. They think he should be fired or he should quit. What about David Ross? What is he doing for the Cubs? They’re far worse than the Sox this year and they weren’t good ever since he’s been manager. Why isn’t there any cries to get rid of Ross? He’s not very good.
