When Mayor Lori Lightfoot looks in the mirror and asks if she is doing a good job as mayor, the glass shatters.
Mr. G, Chicago
God forbid we get more decent, conservative, God-fearing politicians in office, especially the White House! I strongly agree with all those left-wing progressive ideas. Anarchy, lawlessness, no bail for serious crimes, looting, burning and general destruction; all justifiable. I like the public school systems indoctrinating our children that the school is more important than their parents. Also, early sexualization of children is healthy. And finally, Miss Universe and the NCAA women’s swimming champion are both biological men. It’s about time.

I would like to comment on the women on the newscasts. Why are they all now wearing their clothes so low cut, the one dress was cut down to her waist. The dresses are all the way up to their busts. I will not let my young children watch the news anymore because of these women. What are they going to do in the summer, parade out in bikinis? This is a time where families watch television.

Why is it that anyone with even a slight lean to the right gets the opportunity to be called an extreme right-wing, Bible-thumping radical Christian conservative, while anyone who might even be off the chart to the left is not described with such superlatives? Shouldn’t left-leaners also be described similarly? Extreme left-wing, radical atheist? Liberal certainly doesn’t apply as the left certainly doesn’t tolerate the right.

Thank you Greg from Lockport and George from the South Side for your intelligent comments on gun control. No matter how many people tragically lose their lives, there will always be those that tweak the Second Amendment to try to justify their selfish obsession to own a rifle. And if you are using it to hunt an innocent animal, shame on you too!

It took three years of no-requirement, unmonitored moratoriums, but Illinois is now top dog in gas and electric shut-offs. We’re also at record increases for our utility rates. As the saying goes, someone has to pay for those who don’t. In Illinois, it’s in the tens of thousands. So if you pay your bills, like the childhood game we once played, you’re it.
