Kanye West recently made antisemitic comments about the Jewish people. He also have stated the Jewish people need to get their act together. If anyone needs to get their act together, it’s Kanye West. One of his key sponsors have dropped him. He brought it upon his himself. West is known to have a health problem. He should make appointment with a Jewish doctor. Maybe he can get the help he needs.

Why should politicians dictate if we should have abortion or not? Why not put it on the ballot and let the people of Illinois decide if they want or not?

Milwaukee County State’s Attorney John Chisholm, who enacted a low bail and diversion program for career criminals, once told a Milwaukee newspaper that at some point a person in the program would kill somebody, but it didn’t invalidate the overall approach. He was deadly accurate. His office allowed Darrell Brooks out on $1,000 bail. In November 2021, Brooks drove an SUV over parade-goers in Waukesha. Last week a jury convicted Brooks of murder of five adults and a boy plus injuries to 62 people. Chisholm was right and he remains in office.

Reading Ted Slowik’s column I have come to one conclusion, Slowik would like to have one-party rule in this country. That sounds to me a lot like socialism or fascism. Is that what our fathers and grandfathers fought for and some died for? One party in control of the whole country telling every citizen what to do and when to do it. Just keep your mouth shut and do not ask questions.

To RHS Oak Forest. I have had the latest booster and did not even have a copay. And if you think insurance companies are paying $110 to $130 a shot you don’t know insurance companies.

Denny from Orland Park, the debate between J.B. Pritzker and Darren Bailey was a different version of the presidential debates of recent past. Some people lack ability or desire to debate. It is disgusting. Illinois is facing the same dilemma that our country endured during the last two presidential elections. The candidates are pathetic!
