It appears that this government is not supporting and helping the people living in Palestine, Ohio. Our government in office now is more concerned with supporting illegal immigration and supporting the war in Ukraine than caring for our own people. We should help Ukraine, but the European countries should do most of the support. What bothers me the most, Biden won’t even go to or acknowledge what is happening in Palestine. I think this president has big problems.

Democrats get their news from CNN, MSNBC and the other legacy media, all of which are controlled by the Democrats. They print and broadcast propaganda, mostly opinion disguised as news. Trump called it fake news which is the polite term for lies. Lifelong Democrats should never be accused of being intelligent. They embrace being a Democrat more as a religion than a political party. Very few of them realize that the Dem party has been hijacked by the left-wing socialists and communists.

To Leo of Orland Park, yes, it is you. We have politicians trying to take away benefits, divide the country into two parts, change election results to name just a few things and you choose to criticize people’s demeanor. Take a look at Fox News, guilty of all kinds of misinformation and lies from their staff. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but c’mon man, be real.

To Mark from Orland Park who quoted the dictionary definition on the word woke. I think that most people have no problem with societal issues being addressed. The problem comes when activists and politicians support off-the-wall solutions to these problems. For instance, quarterback turned activist Colin Kaepernick has vocally supported his belief that prisons should be abolished. What happens to the hardcore criminals, then? They get community service?

Never underestimate a politician’s capacity for self-delusion.

The city of Chicago, Paul Vallas is not concerned about. It’s City Hall that they want back. There’s no more business as usual at City Hall the way it had been prior to Mayor Lori Lightfoot being elected. They want control of City Hall back by any means necessary.
