The Senate Republicans helping the Democrats pass another big spending legislation just reminded everyone why Donald Trump was elected president in the first place. Thirty trillion dollars in debt and rising is not a problem for them. Their grandchildren can worry about it.

Bill, Plainfield

Eighteen Republicans voted for the Democrat’s $1.7 trillion, pork-filled omnibus bill. They’re all RINOs and should kicked out of the GOP.

This is for Jack from Oak Forest. Sorry to hear about the guilt you feel about having to donate to the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Many of the hungry children’s parents do work but aren’t making enough money for essentials. I have a suggestion for you, go volunteer at the Greater Chicago Food Depository to see what they’re all about.

PT, Oak Lawn

To Jim, Homewood, you must have been out of the country for a few years, or on some deserted island, and are unaware of the Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un loving Donald Trump who wants to become the dictator of America, and do so by force, violence and insurrection, just as Putin and Communist Russia is doing to Ukraine. Sounds like communist takeover to me.

Carl, Orland Park

President Biden said in February his sanctions would stop Russia from invading Ukraine. Now thousands have died because his decision was a total failure.

Rus, Tinley Park

I am not a spring chicken. When I shop at Jewel in Homewood, where they stuff their items all the way to the floor, it’s a problem for me. I tried to get a bag of sugar that was located on the bottom shelf and had to hold on for dear life. A male shopper came to my rescue. My suggestion to Jewel and all other stores that have merchandise on the bottom shelves is to put in handle bars.

BJ, Hazel Crest

You can’t make this stuff up. The Democratic left is now complaining that there’s too many white actors doing the voice-overs for “Avatar.” I am looking at the previews right now, all the people are blue. What in God’s name are they talking about?
