Former ESPN reporter Allison Williams is suing the network and Disney for being fired because she refused to be vaccinated due to her Christian beliefs. She said she could not put a paycheck above principle. She now works for Fox Sports. However, she is seeking compensatory damages, back pay, punitive damages, reputational damages, damages from emotional trauma and stress, attorney’s fees and interest. It’s refreshing to know just how virtuous religious conservatives can be as long they get paid.

David, the great difference between the pathological liar, George Santos, if that is his name, and Reps. Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell, is that Santos has admitted to lying and there is vast amounts of proof for it. While you have presented no proof for their alleged lying. He is now a proud member of the revenge party in control of the House.

Our President Biden finally visited the boarder at El Paso Texas after it was sanitized. Our government policies of legalization of marijuana and open borders have resulted in easier introduction of the drug to our young people. The addition of fentanyl has resulted in over 200 deaths per day from overdoses. Most of them are young people. It’s coming across our borders looking like candy.

Rus of Tinley Park is simply flat wrong about long lines and in efficiencies at driver’s license facilities under the administration of Jesse White. My personal experience of the service and professionalism at driver’s license facilities has been uniformly very good, whether it was at the Bridgeview facility, the Midlothian facility or the CDL facility in South Holland. White worked long and hard to improve the performance of the facilities under his supervision. To say otherwise is simply false.

I know I am from a different generation when I watch my mail carrier walking around with a smartphone in one hand and the mail she is to deliver in the other. She was talking on this device the whole time walking to and away from our home.
