Sox, Cubs, Hawks, Bulls, Bears. Not a championship contender among them. Chicago deserves better. Yet the fans keep spending hundreds of dollars for tickets and beers to support mediocrity. Fools! Stay home. Show the owners and players that you want your favorite team to win and compete with the best of them. The way they’re playing they don’t deserve your hard-earned money!

JRW, Orland Park

To M of Orland Park. Hunter Biden has nothing to do with his father running the country. The only criminal we’ve seen the past six years is Donald Trump. He cheats on his taxes, he lies about everything, he gropes women and he starts riots. Stop watching Fox News. Or wait for your dictator wanna be goes to jail. It’s inevitable.

Bruce, Chicago

Now that Trump has had a nice dinner with Kanye West and far-right extremist Nick Fuentes, it’s just typical that the GOP leadership has made no comment and has had nothing to say about it as of yet. What cowards? Anyone who votes for these people has got their mind in the cloud somewhere.

JK, Tinley Park

To Tom from Homer Glen, who encourages us to take an economics class to be able to understand that corporate greed causes inflation. My MBA degree taught me that policies affect economics. The Biden administration pumping $3 trillion into our economy while simultaneously declaring war on our fossil fuel industry has caused inflation. Personalities aside, it’s easy to see that we were much better off economically 2, 3, 4 years ago.

Jim, Homewood

To the left-wing poster who suggested that right-wing posters should take a course in economics. When President Joe Biden declared war on the American energy industry eliminating our energy independence, it caused the price of energy to be set by global markets and dictated to by OPEC and other unfriendly players. Then, he passed trillion dollar spending bills, flooding the market with cash lessening the value of the dollar and causing inflation by its very nature.

Tom, New Lenox

To Don from Chicago Heights. I would suggest that you never mail a check by putting it in a postal mailbox. Always bring it inside the post office. Even better, pay your bills online. It’s much safer.
