— — Are you ready for the next big bailout? Think the last union bailout of $26 billion was enough to satisfy the unions? Yeah, right! Get ready for this: A bailout of labor union pensions. It’s on the way, folks! It’s time to vote these criminals out.

Finally, on the national level even the Democrats are abandoning the three-headed beast of Obama, Pelosi and Reid. On a local level we need to abandon the three-headed beast: Criminal, judicial and political. These things in North Tonawanda are far out of control.

I’d like to urge all cell phone users to look closely at their bills. If you’re getting a thing called mobile alerts, you can be charged an extra $10 a month on your bill. So, carefully check your bill for anything that’s out of the ordinary.

I always watch Jon Stewart and yes, you do get the right news. He knows how absurd some of the stuff you hear on Fox News is. Everyone should listen to Jon Stewart because he’s truly the news.

On July 23 in broad daylight someone stole my sister’s wheelchair from in front of Treasure Market. It was the only way for her to see some of Canal Fest, which she didn’t get to. Who does that kind of thing? It can be returned to the Treasure market on Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday, no questions asked. For someone with a small amount of quality of life, a good part of that has been taken away from her. I hope somebody can help her.

I’m really curious to know how JT Wheatfields is open and operating under a different name and selling alcohol. I thought once they got caught doing the things they were doing, the SLA would not issue anyone in that building a liquor license. What happened?

Congratulations on the award for covering Litz’s crime. I’m glad you covered it because I think that people should know what’s going on in this police force. But how come you never cover any of the negative things the mayor does?

So Hillary has stepped into the rubber room with Obama. Global warming. So the cavemen having their camp fires caused global warming and cooling back then. Those who predict the past are doomed to repeat it. She ignores the science because her buddy Al Gore is funding her.

Congratulations to the people who ran that Thunder on the Niagara. It was absolutely fantastic. Hope it’s bigger and better next year. Thanks for the entertainment!

•••

Surely Democrats don’t understand that if you raise taxes on the rich, they cut jobs. Rich people create jobs.

We’re less than halfway through the first term for Obama and he’s done more damage to America than any president in history. Some of this damage can be repaired, but some can’t. Some of his policies will haunt generations to come. It’s time for Americans to rise up and demand Congress to impeach this man.

I think the North Tonawanda school district should look into requiring school uniforms. I think if the school board members walked around the high school and saw how some of these students dress they’d be appalled, to say the least. No school dress code is being enforced. They should consider the pros and cons of bringing back school uniforms.
