I was a Democrat but I’m a Republican now and I’m very upset with two so-called Republicans. First is U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger. He got in bed with U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and he sold us out. He’s a traitor. Second is U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Why is he not bringing impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden? It’s a sad state of events when former President Donald Trump can get impeached because somebody overheard a phone call but our current president can let unvaccinated immigrants come in through our Southern border to live here illegally and nobody cares.

Illinois Department of Transportation commercials constantly admonish us to watch out for motorcycles. I agree. Drivers should watch out for everything on wheels and feet. I’d be more inclined to watch out for motorcycles if motorcycle drivers and riders wore helmets. I was at a red light behind four motorcycles. Each had a driver and a passenger for eight people total. None wore helmets. Hospital emergency personnel call motorcycle riders and passengers who won’t wear helmets organ donors. Would it kill you to wear helmets? Clearly it’s killing motorcyclists not to wear them.

I’m tired of Gov. J.B. Pritzker. He knocked former President Donald Trump and blamed Trump for everything. Pritzker said the federal government had to step in to help him pay unemployment. This is a state that has a history of corrupt, overpaid politicians with an outrageous welfare system that has many deadbeats on it who are able-bodied workers but are too lazy and sponge off the state. It’s time to step up to the plate, Pritzker. I can’t believe that ex-Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson is making nearly $200,000 a year in pension. Is this right? This has to stop.

You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. Many have died defending our wonderful country and we are now in the midst of a takeover. The elite politicians under the control of investor George Soros want to create a new America. They want the old one destroyed and erased. We have the most wonderful country in the world. We are the envy of the world. That’s why people risk their lives to come here. Don’t get fooled and don’t get swayed to give up your rights.
