I think it’s time the United States stop giving the weapons and money to Ukraine. Biden wants to give another $45 billion. What about the people in the United States? What about the senior citizens that are starving? What about Social Security that needs saving? These are items should be top priority. We’ve done more than enough for Ukraine, and we need to stop handing out free money to them.

Joe of Alsip stated the salaries athletes are being paid is insane. If the athletes are making hundreds of millions of dollars, what do you think the owners are making? Do you really think the owners are losing money to pay the athletes? You should address your concerns with the owners first. The players are only getting what the owners can afford.

Can anyone explain what could possibly be so important to drive over the double yellow lines on the street? When driving north on 105th Place and Cicero, don’t dare try to turn left at that corner because you may get killed in a head-on collision. Where are the Oak Lawn police? Burgers would be really good at McDonald’s.

Every time we get bad weather, no matter what it may be, snow, rain would have you, people waste no time criticizing the highway department. Maybe one of them should climb up into the cab of one of those trucks and see what they’re up against. Rather than criticize them, how about a pat on the back? That’s what these guys really need and deserve. They keep things moving. Great going guys. I’m behind you all the way.

People are saying stuff about Trump not filing the taxes. I guess you people are Democratic chumps. Check out what Pritzker did. He took out a toilet so he didn’t have to pay on an apartment that he owned. He tried to rip off the city of Chicago of thousands of dollars. How much other stuff did he do to avoid taxes when he was not the governor, but you people all elected him. And what is he done now, raised our taxes, raised our taxes, and he’s laughing like a fool.
