Here’s an inconvenient truth for the climate change hypocrite Al Gore as he flies to Davos, Switzerland on his carbon spewing private jet. Your globalist climate fanaticism that you have shown for decades is a bunch of hot air. Maybe you want to check on the wind turbines on the East Coast causing death to a number of humpback whales washed onto the shores. By the way, at the world economic forum, did Gore bother to confront the world’s biggest polluting country, China? Of course not, he’s compromised and gutless.

Our food is engineered to kill us before our time. There is a dark side to meat. Animals are fed corn when they ate grass for millenniums and their stomachs cannot tolerate that. They are ill when they go to slaughter and they kill us in time as well. Not to mention the cruelty they undergo before slaughter.

I thought that it is the duty of the county sheriffs to enforce the laws. Where does it give them the authority to interpret the Constitution in order to choose which laws to execute and which to ignore?

Larry, Orland Park

President Joe Biden reminds me of the governor in the movie “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” when the governor sings he’s a poor boy come to greatness, so it follows he cannot tell a lie.

I see the headlines that Lori Lightfoot’s campaign spending outpaced the cash she’s raising. Gee, that sounds like President Biden running this country. They’re almost alike.

Jimbo, Chicago Heights

Hakeem Jeffries wants 2023 to be the most progressive ever. What is progressive? Does it mean that our government has control over everything we think and do?

Bill, Plainfield

Christian conservative Republican Ron DeSantis is campaigning for president on a platform that disdains diversity, eliminates equality and ignores inclusion. He deplores public education, learning and knowledge, unless it fits nicely into his world perspective. Reality and truth are anathema to him. His strategy is to attack, exploit and divide. His goal is to build power and win elections. Let’s not allow this zealot to take us back to the Dark Ages. We’ve got to keep him as far from the Oval Office as possible!
