We don’t need Biden

I’ve been seeing around my little village these suburban moms who wear these T-shirts with Biden and Harris on them. What a joke. You have no idea of the real world. You live in a $300,000 home. You don’t work. And if you work, you work a small, little job. You really actually need to get out into the real world, into a real low-middle-class neighborhood, and then you can say we need someone like Biden. No, we do not. We need somebody that’s going to fight for this country, and is not scared to show his strength.

See if it sticks

The Democratic Party is the party of crisis. Remember when Rahm Emanuel said you can get a lot more done in a crisis than you can when things are peaceful in the country? Because people will allow you to do things in a crisis they will not allow you to do when it’s not in crisis. The Democratic Party is the party of crisis. That’s why they’re throwing things against the wall every day to see if something sticks.

Voting system is compromised

I believe our voting system is compromised. I’ve seen it in our small city of Waukegan many times. I also sent a contribution to the Trump campaign and, as of yet, it has not been confirmed and it’s been 30 days. I can’t believe it takes more than 30 days for the campaign office to receive my contribution. So I believe our voting system is compromised. I believe that we should have voter IDs.

God’s choice

In response to “heaven sent,” which was a very cute entry, but was not very fact-based: The man or woman who wrote that all the maladies that are befalling the United States are to be set on Donald Trump’s shoulders, but he’s forgetting Psalm 9. He forgot in Psalm 9 where God sets up and removes leaders, I guess Donald Trump was God’s choice in 2016.

You all may be dead

You know, those poor Republicans, I feel so sorry for them. They have a disgraced president. Donald Trump is not respected by anybody. Now they’re trying to turn the hate to poor Biden. He loves everybody. The Democrats need to get a new agenda, but there’s no new agenda. Trump has ruined everything. Nobody wants that man to lead them. So, come on you Republicans. Wake up before you die of COVID, because you are all around him. No mask. No social distancing. You all will probably be dead by Nov. 3, but if you are living wake up and start wearing your mask. That man is destroying you all by the minute.

Where is the justice?

Where is the justice for the police officers who were shot sitting in their car? Where is the justice?

Wake up

To all the supporters of Donald Trump: I’m trying to wake you to a rude awakening. Have you noticed that you’re supporting this man. You can’t get 10 feet near him. He’s up on the stage, and you’re all out packed together. He’s terrified of the coronavirus. So that’s why he won’t let you get near him. Why don’t you people wake up. Republicans, wake up before this man kills all of you.

Bone to pick with you

To the mental loser who calls our great president Bone Spurs: God put him in office to take on losers like yourself.
