The halftime show by Rihanna was supposed to be entertaining. It wasn’t. That had to be the absolute worst halftime show in the history of all the Super Bowls you’ve ever watch. She couldn’t even lip sync. The singing was going on and she wasn’t moving her lips. I pray next year we get better entertainment. Let’s go back to rock ‘n’ roll.

To Jimbo of Chicago Heights, I would rather see Kamala Harris smile and clap instead of watching that shell of a man, former Vice President Mike Pence, groveling and crawling on his knees toward Donald Trump. This even after Trump encouraged a crowd of thugs to hang him on Jan. 6. Talk about cowards. I will not even began mentioning Kevin McCarthy and Ted Cruz.

I was just wondering how the mayor of this wonderful city can declare herself as cutting down on everything and let’s release these people on no bonds. That’s the problem. They need to start taking care of this, start cracking down. I mean, you’re a juvenile and you carjack a car, you go home with your parents and go do it again. I don’t know what to say anymore. I used to love the city so much, now I’m embarrassed. Kim Foxx has got to go too.

Jim from Palos Heights, you’re 100% correct. The guns and the laws are not the problem, it’s the woke liberal state’s attorney that’s the problem. There are no repercussions. The police arrest the criminals and they are let free within the next day, if not sooner. I guarantee that if they made a mandatory five years in prison if caught with an illegal gun then the criminals would think twice. Slowly but surely, they will be all locked up rather than running the streets.

I can’t wait to hear from all of the people who wasted millions of dollars betting on the Super Bowl waking up on Monday morning complaining about not being able to afford eggs or gasoline.

JK from Tinley Park and Wes from Orland Park, you both better hope and pray for the best and better in 2024, because if it continues to go as it is you won’t have a civilized country to worry about. Families can’t afford to shop, people have to choose is it food on the table or medication? All insurances are way out of hand and 401ks are depleting rapidly. It’ll be goodbye freedom and hello all government.
