Bears lose 49-29. Jim Miller and the postgame team happily praise the team’s growth. What? Really?

The voters need to ask the Republicans what is their plan to fight inflation and crime and the economy. They don’t have a plan. You seniors, the Republicans want to cut Medicare and Social Security. Shelly from Oak Lawn, you won’t have to worry about crime because your fellow Republicans will gut your Medicare and Social Security. But you Republicans and Trumpettes keep giving your money to Donald Trump to pay his legal fees. You are really gullible and Trump is the biggest liar and thief that there ever was.

All of a sudden, one of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s friends and a fundraiser is getting a 2-year parking contract with Chicago Public Schools. Is she worried about not getting reelected? That’s why she’s setting up all her friends. This is getting ridiculous. Chicago better get rid of all of these Democrats. They are doing nothing but cheating the people of Chicago out of money. I cannot believe that people in Chicago still put up with this stuff.

A block away from the Burbank police station, at 76th and Central, cars beat up and down Central Avenue from 79th Street all day, 24 hours, seven days a week, and where are the police? Are they playing cards? Because when there’s a call you see eight of them flying south on Central Avenue. So apparently they’re not looking out for speeders. And the stop sign on 78th and Central, that’s a joke. That’s a freaking joke. Where are the police at?

Several days ago, I went to the post office and mailed our 2022 midterm ballots. I could have taken them to a secure ballot drop box or gone to vote in person. I chose to mail them to make the point that I am not going to let far right-wing MAGA extremists take away my right to vote by mail. If there are any problems with voting by mail, they have been caused by the aforementioned individuals.
