I keep reading that Gov. J.B. Pritzker is absolutely horrible, a crook, a cheater, a clown. Then there’s President Joe Biden, another loser. You can say it over and over and over and it still doesn’t make Donald Trump look good in comparison.

Mary, Orland Park

Both parties use deceiving names when introducing bills. Remember the Patriot Act introduced during the George W. Bush administration? It allowed government to unknowingly surveil American citizens!

To Ben in Orland Park. I dislike Trump, yet if you call persistent still high inflation, high diesel fuel prices, an out of control southern border, declining industrial production, rising interest rates, rising food costs, a fallen stock market and a looming recession regaining America’s greatness, then how do describe losing greatness?

J.I. Oak Lawn

The Trump haters use the phrase twice-impeached former president as if he was convicted of something. These Trump haters will stop at nothing to try to bring him down and it still continues unabated. I have a lot of problems with Trump’s personality and style, but I agree with most of his policies. Notice how Trump haters never discuss policies, only personality issues. Do they really like Biden’s policies regarding our open border for human trafficking and opioids, unbridled spending and energy dependence?

Tom, New Lenox

Ted Slowik canceled his Twitter account as soon as he heard Elon Musk bought it. That’s because he rejects the truth. He doesn’t want to hear it. He believes in censorship except for when it comes to his one-sided opinions. He believes in omitting damaging information which will show what Biden and his Democrats are all about. History is full of examples of how regimes have suppressed the truth and spread propaganda.

Michael, Chicago Heights

The Chicago Bears are an embarrassment to the city as our most other teams who call Chicago home. Their QB is a running back, their offensive line is offensive and their defense should join the police department because they can’t catch anyone.

Dent, Tinley Park

Could we please, please, please get a 104th Avenue resurfaced between 167th and 179th. Please.
