Just a quick review for those who don't know because I've received several inquiries over the last couple of months. I AM A MODERATE REPUBLICAN WHO STRONGLY BELIEVES IN THE DEATH PENALTY BUT I ALSO BELIEVE JUST AS STRONGLY IN A WOMEN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE.
Now having said that, let's talk about several decisions made recently by the Supreme Court. They rejected the STUDENT LOAN PROGRAM which would have wiped out $400 billion in college loans. I wrote before that I didn't understand the thinking behind wiping out the student loans because you applied for them.....now pay them off. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS DECISION BY THE COURT.
The Court also made a decision that sided with a woman whose Christian religious beliefs prevented her from designing websites that would celebrated same sex marriages and although Lorie Smith doesn't currently design wedding sites, she is prohibited from saying 'no' should someone want to hire her so she applied to the Court for a ruling. NOW THIS RULING TILTS ME A LITTLE BECAUSE WHY ISN'T IT OK FOR HER TO SAY 'NO' IF HER RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ARE CHALLENGED?
BUT THEN DON'T WE OPEN THE DOOR FOR THE BIGOTS OF THE WORLD TO HIDE BEHIND FREE SPEECH AND SHUT OFF EVERYONE WHO HAS A DIFFERENT BELIEF?
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CHURCH & STATE BEING SEPARATE ISSUES?
I DISAGREE WITH THE COURT AND BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE REFUSED TO HEAR THIS CASE AND KICKED IT BACK TO THE STATE OF ORIGIN.

The air quality in Illinois has just sucked for a week. Mowed the lower 40 last week and my eyes burned until the next morning. Just make every Canadian man pick a tree and start peeing. Those freaking fires have been burning for 3 months.

For those of you who dodged raindrops at your firework displays, McHenry has their monster show on Sunday night July 16 at Peterson Park and it's free. Bring a cooler and a lawn chair and you don't even have to leave your car. EVERY PARKING SPOT HAS A CLEAR VIEW OF THE DISPLAY.

I promised you I'd keep you up to date of the carnage in the city. 6 weeks have passed since Memorial Day and here's your unofficial tally to date: 253 SHOT AND 56 KILLED.
Yeah, go to Chicago and enjoy one of the many festivals. 🙏💀👮👎

Former priest Kenneth Lewis was sentenced to 7 years in prison for molesting a boy in an hotel 20 years ago. In keeping with providing an UNDERGROUND RAILROAD FOR PEDOPHILES, the catholic church allowed him to serve in different capacities in the Tulsa area, including appointing him PASTOR of another church in Oklahoma. It just never stops with that organization.

Just to make you think..........If you had invested just $1000 in Tesla stock in July of 2010, thanks to 2 stock splits, you would now have $163,000 in your portfolio but if you really want to shake your head, a thousand invested in APPLE in 1980 would have you sitting on 1.4 million thanks to 5 stock splits. I invested in baseball cards.

A fond farewell to DICK BIONDI, the 'crazy Italian' who entertained Chicago teenagers in the 1960's on both WLS and WCFL and visited many area high schools to host 'sock hops' on a Friday or Saturday night. A Member of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, Biondi claimed he was fired 25 times from different stations but was never unemployed more than a couple of weeks.
Personal Note: While donating my time working the outside grill at the Lambs Farm rock n roll day, Biondi could not have been nicer on a 90 degree day and when I offered him a sausage, he asked if it came with air conditioning and I walked him over to our locked cooling station and as soon as he felt the coolness, he turned and kissed me on the cheek. I laughed and left him there and he came out 20 minutes later looking refreshed and did another 90 minutes. ITALIAN STALLION.....Godspeed and thanks from all the kids that grew up in Chicago during the 60's. You were the best!

Ok, that's it for now. A couple of days of cooler weather start on Thursday so enjoy.
