(COMMENT: Expect that ever-increasingly, Kinzinger-supporters, that is, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters, will do everything that they can to destroy individuals, to destroy organizations, to destroy companies, to destroy governments, and to destroy countries that do not hate Trump. This year, Kinzinger-supporters, that is, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters, succeeded in stopping Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks.)

JOHN KASS
— The Golden Moutza: What to give a political fool who has almost everything but brains?
(COMMENT: Needless-to-say, Kass should give Golden Moutzas to those who stopped Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks. Candidates include Republican leaders of Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, Milton Township Republican Organization, and DuPage County Republican Central Committee. I should write a book about the aforesaid who have done the most since 2005 a) to discourage me from raising funds from Republicans so that Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks, including haranguing me in the parade staging area, and b) to discourage Republicans from contributing funds for the aforesaid.)
