Rus, Since the war in Ukraine began this year, the U.S. has committed $12.9 billion in military aid, and has asked Congress for an additional $13.7 billion. Thirty-four other countries, plus the European Union, have committed money to the war effort. Thanks to Biden’s efforts, NATO is vastly stronger, and Sweden and Finland have asked to join NATO as well. What a weak response, right?

This message is for Donna Vickroy. Read your column about grandparents, really great. Laughed a lot, too. But you miss something. You say grandparents are also the ATM of the college groups. It seems that they’re also the ATM of the high school groups and also the grade schools. So you see, grandparents are also in the banking business.

Tinley Park’s Veterans Day ceremony on the Tinley Park TV channel has no sound. How embarrassing and disrespectful to our veterans. The Village Hall has no explanation.

You got to hand it to the lawyers who represent the crooked alderman and alderwomen of the city of Chicago. Just keep continuing the cases until the accused are too old or too sickly to stand trial. Case in point, Sherrie Austin was indicted over a year ago for accepting kickbacks, albeit free appliances. from a developer overseeing a $50 million contracts in her award. Just wondering who received the 11% Menards discount.

Chicago solution. The only way Chicago will become safe is that if everybody should move out and leave the city vacant? And where will the gangbangers go?

Mr. G, Chicago

Jim from Homewood, you must live on FOX conspiracy channel and Trump’s PACs. The MAGA Republicans only believe in destroying democracy and America. They won’t get anything done instead of investigating Biden and the Democrats. Marjorie Taylor Greene is just carrying the water for Trump. She can’t think on her own. Kevin McCarthy is a coward and spineless and will do whatever for the MAGA Republican puppet masters pulling his strings. He will be remembered as the worst speaker and a liar.
