I’m really saddened at the politicians that, like Dick Durbin, are blaming the parents for kids that are getting shot at. I think politicians should close the loopholes that allow people like the one in Highland Park. I feel sorry Cooper Roberts. He’s paralyzed from the waist down. How can how can a parent tell their kid they’ll never walk again. I urge everybody to go to Washington and say enough is enough. The killings got to stop. All the Democratic and Republican senators, please, for Cooper’s sake, stop this madness.

The more I hear about this George Soros the more I am a believer that he is more threatening to this country than North Korea, China, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden combined. He is supporting every radical, far-left, garbage candidate like the attorneys general that let murderers and rapists and people commit gun crimes go free. He’s a dangerous person.

I want to thank the village of Hazel Crest for taking steps to do something about the about the fireworks on the Fourth of July. The village posted signs everywhere stating a fine of $750 will be charged to anyone who disobeyed their order. We still had a few jerks who went solo but not like in previous years. This was the most peaceful July 4 I have experienced since I’ve been living in the village. Our neighbors Homewood-Flossmoor an Olympia Field have rules and finally we are joining the club.

Support for the Joe Biden administration is now 33%. It’s amazing that it is so high. His handlers are now getting more desperate in their efforts to get rid of Donald Trump. There false accusations are getting more ludicrous every day.

I agree with Ken from Burbank regarding the plight of Brittney Griner, the women’s basketball player who’s being held and Russia due to her carrying marijuana product into the country. There’s someone that would oftentimes not even come out on the court for the national anthem. Now suddenly she needs the aid of American government against Russia. Maybe she’ll have a greater appreciation for the benefits and freedoms we have from the USA. No sympathy here. Thank you.
