Despite all the criticism of Cook County’s court system, nearly all current judges were voted to be retained including, for an eighth term, Chief Judge Tim Evans. What does that say about voters and the judges who approve of his leadership?

I’ve decided Trump’s name is already toxic. If/when DeSantis runs in `24, he’ll have my vote because he’s just as determined to make America great again but is just more diplomatic and articulate, without Trump’s huge ego.

A true Republican representation is Jim in Mokena. If they win everything is fine and dandy with no problems, but if they lose there are problems, things are wrong and need to be investigated. The characterizations of whiners and sore losers are prevalent.

If this game-playing vote counting is any indication, for example, of how we perform in the U.S. then we are setting a poor example for youth, senior citizens and for other countries. Maybe we need to rethink what we’re doing.

Well, I see our old friend Ted Slowik is at it again. The cheerleader of the Illinois Democratic Party is telling his readers about the wonderful to come charging stations. I can just imagine him running down Interstate 80 through Mokena shouting, The charging stations are coming! And who will be paying for them? Why us, the taxpayer. And who will make all the money derived from them? ComEd. And J.B. is saying thanks for another four years, suckers.

So insulting to veterans by President Biden taking overseas trip instead of paying respects to vets at Arlington Cemetery memorial service on Veterans Day!

To Ned from Tinley Park, I agree with your criteria for voting. A candidate should be sincere, personal integrity, humility, courtesy, wisdom and charity. I looked at both parties completely at all forms of government and couldn’t find one that even came close to that. America is a sick country right now.

To Dan from Palos Heights, it’s amazing you live in Northern Illinois and you’re not aware of that the majority of our electricity comes from nuclear power, not fossil fuels.
