What the hell are we doing here? Speak up! Not only are we tasked with saving our country, but also our county. So many people are unaware that McHenry County has been named one of the best “communities” to live in nationwide. You knew that, I knew that! The only thing wrong with McHenry County is the damn property taxes! Guess who wants to raise them again? The Democrats. They have an agenda, to create “workforce” housing, to expand mental health care to anyone who has the slightest problem, including migrants who need to learn English, and “expand” broadband internet and county wide busing, even though those programs are “in the works” right now by the County Board. They want to borrow money to finance these programs to have them NOW! They can’t wait to plan for the development, they want to show everyone how great socialism is. Think I’m full of hot air? Visit the county Democrat website, right there they have a big banner of Barrack Obama speaking at a rally with the phrase “Think globally, act locally”. Kelli Wegener, candidate for McHenry County Board Chairman uses the phrase “Community, not conflict” on her Facebook Page. You know what that means? It means if she gains control of the County Board (along with picking up some County Board seats) if you dare to defy the “Community” of Leftists, she and her minions will make sure that you comply through a pilifera of regulations, (see “no conflict” who in the hell can afford it?). I have been at a Planning and Development Meeting where Kelli Wegener said ‘to have housing for those who can’t afford to live here’. WRONG! I worked my buttocks off to afford to live here, and I’m not going to finance someone who could care less about the beauty and value of this county! If you want this county to turn into Cook County, if you think being “woke” is the height of academia, if you want to see your property taxes increase, vote Democratic. If you agree with me that they’re the problem, vote straight Republican!
nine years .. unrelenting & maniacal
deliberate, visceral & despicable
sinister bottom feeders ..
unleashed upon dedicated Americans deeply troubled by our present state of depravity born of unbridled power …
jealously coveted by an elite ruling class devoid of principle
yet this one man’s still standing …
every iteration of literal & figurative attempted assassination notwithstanding .. law fare broadened to new heights
November 5th we begin anew ..
the determined soul of an amazing nation of freedom loving patriots rising steadfastly above the lies & deceit to chart a new course ..
resolute in our dutiful commitment to healthy transparency from the school board to the Oval Office …
I found this revealing Letter to the Editor from Fred Haller of Johnsburg in a recent edition of the Northwest Herald. Here’s the real John Collins!
“After reading a few letters to the editor in the Northwest Herald, I did some research on the candidates for McHenry County Board District 2. John Collins was never elected to the County Board, he was appointed.
He describes himself as a moderate (?) Democrat comparable to Dick Durbin.
He thinks that McHenry County (one of only a few debt-free counties in Illinois) should borrow money to finance projects because of its credit rating.
In his 21-month appointment to the County Board, he missed four County Board meetings, one Committee of the Whole meeting, two Administrative Services meeting, and three Transportation meetings.
In fact, it appears he took the entire month of Oct. ‘22 off with the exception of two meetings.
John Reinert has missed four meetings in a 22-month span.
John has been a professional Realtor for 30 years whose focus is working to bring down the cost of new homes so that families can afford to live in McHenry County.
That speaks more to the true character of our county.”
Maybe Ms Wegener will learn about Lying by listening to what her hero Bill Maher said about it on his show last night..in reference to the Media proclaiming “Trump calls for Firing squad for Liz Cheney”.
To sum it up Bill, unbelievably said “Just don’t Lie to me’.
Because they did lie, as Bill pointed out they left out portions of what Trump said to create a Lie.
Ms Wegener, it appears you have done the same.
See todays Breitbart New, its the headline.
I believe many on “her side” have been doing this for too long mainly because it was sanctioned by the Obama crowd back around 2007.
When you don’t have a plan or an answer, create a lie.
Congratulations to Catalina. Great Love Story. Sending well wishes. Have met her, her mother, sister at a couple Trump events in Woodstock–great family. Curious now that Trump has won if she’ll have a role somewhere in the new Administration. Or is she moving to England?
Cal, you could have told us why the site went down for updating. Hopefully most of the mental midgets that posted here won’t realize you’re back in business.
I thought with this new site Cal and crew were going to crack down on blog trolls. You sound like Dave Lowitzki. Readers now forewarned. Every comment so far from “Dave” has been anti Trump, expect more of the same, all the time. He’s a paid troll by the Illinois DNC –look him up. Hurry on over to BlueSky Dave, its where all your bobblehead Lefties are now meeting instead of X/Twitter.
Hi… Dave Lowitzki here. I’m not this other Dave, but glad to see you and others are still obsessed with me. But the Matt Gaetz story would be funnier if it didn’t involve underage women being raped.
But… I’ve never received a penny from the “Illinois DNC” (which doesn’t exist) or the Democratic Party of Illinois (which does exist).
Oh, also, someone who disagrees with you isn’t a troll, so you should probably learn what “troll” actually means before you use it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dave, too funny. LowIQitzky brings up Matt Gates but conveniently covers up Joe Biden showering with his 12 year old daughter and then marrying his nanny Jill who was cheating on her husband. Being a D is a mental disorder.
Lowitzki how’s your horse tooth second wife doing? Is she helping you push your baby murdering and high taxes on IL residents and the trans agenda? You know the stuff you lobby for.
Cal open up the comments already. Whoever gave you advice to shut them down is right up there with Marc Avelar who can’t handle dissenting opinions.
Yes, Cal open up the comments section to make it easier to get a broad view and reaction to the different topics and stories you are presenting. Sure, control the foul mouth stuff, but my gosh, make it easier for folks to offer different or supporting views, insights and information on the stories. Right now its too one way and commenting is disjointed. Or do what you want, its your blog. I find many of the follow up commentary to be insightful, informative and some even offer new details to the topic.
The only comments are links to your source articles. If we were able to comment there would be an area saying so. The only way I was able to post this comment was from a link that says recent comments. Otherwise you have locked out all comments on everything you post.
Enjoy Cape Coral. I heard you need a jacket and long pants to keep warm.
Please fix the problem. I enjoy the banter with the low IQ liberals on your site.

There are a lot of topics that deserve public opinion.
