Too much power
Nothing could go wrong here. The Biden administration is asking Congress to pass a law that the IRS can get into every American’s bank account in the entire United States who does more than $600 worth of transactions in a month. So that’s pretty much everybody who has a job. Let’s go back to the Obama years when Obama used the IRS against conservative groups to target them and put them under audits so that they couldn’t use their money to campaign against him. Nothing could go wrong here. Joe Biden, I’m going to get all Americans out of Afghanistan. Joe Biden, I’m not going to mandate masks, Joe Biden, I’m not going to mandate shots. Every word he says is a lie. So if you think the IRS is not going to target the opposition party and anybody in it who has more than $600 worth of transactions in their bank account in any one month, you are out of your mind. There is no way the IRS should have that much power.
Still waiting
The federal government has failed the American people. Our government obligation lies first with the Americans. However, this administration has made their decision to put immigrants first. This administration has to gain control of its borders. Are Americans to sit idle and wait for things to get better? It’s only gotten worse. And this administration refuses to acknowledge they have made a mistake. They refused to acknowledge they made a mistake because then it puts the last administration correct in what they were trying to do to control our borders. This is the worst our borders have ever been, and this government has been sitting idle and the Americans are still waiting.
Fake hearing aid commercials
I’m questioning the truthfulness of hearing aid advertisements on TV and what we get in the mail. The hearing aids are very expensive. The batteries run out in about a day, and how do you get them to work worth their $3,000? Please somebody help me understand the usefulness of fake hearing aid commercials.
What’s he doing?
I’m calling in as a resident of Zion. Can anybody tell me anything that the mayor of Zion is doing in the city for the city? I recently looked up the vaccination rate for citizens in the city of Zion. We are at an embarrassing 36% vaccinated. What in the world is the mayor of the city of Zion doing to increase the number of people vaccinated in the city? It’s the least he could attempt to do if he’s not doing anything else.
Build more buildings
Here’s an idea for the city of Waukegan: How about building office buildings at Fountain Square. Then the county offices can move there. That way they would be more centrally located in Lake County. Also, then maybe the existing county buildings could become a college or something else good.
Live with the ignorance
I’m calling in regards to the contributor whose information was titled “Learn to live with it.” They state my body, my choice when it comes to the choice of a woman to have an abortion, but not when you should be vaccinated. Well, I can tell you that pregnancy is not contagious, and we are learning to live with it. We’re learning to live with the ignorance of people like you who refuse to accept the science behind vaccinations, and how we can eliminate and control this terrible virus.
Civil war is coming
This is in response to “Be part of the solution.” People like this person, the classic progressive liberal, is dying to be controlled by the government. I am a conservative. I got the vaccine. That is my choice. My family members got the vaccine. That is their choice. Some people have reasons not to get the vaccine. Typically, people that get the vaccine are not spreading the virus to other people that have the vaccine. The problem is there are a lot of people who are unvaccinated, and they don’t use good practices. It doesn’t mean that everyone has to get the vaccine. I ignore progressives and the liberals. I hate you. You hate me. It’s never going to change. Civil war is coming. You will not be left standing. It’s that simple.
