Biggest fry fish
To the old jerk who complains that people still have their Christmas lights on in January: you are probably a retired, grumpy, unpleasant and self-loathing person. Have you forgotten those days of working hard and raising a family at the same time? Or maybe you didn’t work or have a family, and that’s why you’re so mean. Either way, you forgot how to enjoy the Christmas spirit. Appreciate the hard work of these people for everyone’s enjoyment. Enjoy the sparkling winter snow under the Christmas lights in their yards. I say leave those damn Christmas lights on until the first day of spring. Damn it, stop whining about all the old stuff and live the rest of your life in peace and harmony. There are bigger fish to fry in this world.
Sneaky, Corrupt
You talk about a sneaky and corrupt administration. Biden went to the border. I watch Fox News, because you’re not going to hear that on any of these fake news channels, and they interview citizens. They brought in the National Guard who just finished clearing all the streets Biden was going to visit. Talk about sneaky. Let the American people really see what is happening in these border towns. You don’t rush it, clean it up and then make Americans think, “Oh, Fox News is just full of garbage.” Talk about corruption.
We pray for you
The event that unfolded during the NFL football game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Buffalo Bills is proof that America and Americans are great. The stadium’s 65,000 fans from both teams and millions watched and prayed. Real men cried. America is great. We are Americans first, united, red, white and blue. We pray for you Damar Hamlin.
A total mess
Instead of Biden hiring 87,000 IRS employees, he should have allocated funds to the police. There are no more police in Lake County. I don’t see anyone patrolling or monitoring traffic, much less arresting anyone for wrongdoing. It’s only on TV. Crime is rampant, traffic is chaotic and no one is held responsible. Wake up in Lake County and insist that the police do more than sit behind buildings or in police department cafeterias. Stop Trump’s rhetoric and get this country back on track. It’s a total mess.
The most corrupt people
The recent obituary mentioning a dying wish to see Trump in jail was downright hilarious. RJ Trumpy. I also laugh at Biden’s clever critiques. I can’t understand people being so defensive of politicians who are some of the most corrupt people in America. They write laws to protect themselves from breaking the laws that if we were to break them we would be in jail. These people are not able to think for themselves and rely on politicians to think for them.
Double standards
Biden wants to honor the January 6 victims, so why not honor Ashli Babbit killed by Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd, who was never held accountable. How about the more than 500 people held in the DC Gulag, some of whom have not yet had a trial and who are being tortured. Did you know them? Are the BLM and Antifa members who held Portland hostage in the summer of 2020 going to jail? If leftists didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all, as the saying goes.
