Brandon Johnson wants to defund police and he is beholden to the Chicago Teachers Union because he is a paid staffer. The Chicago Teachers Union wants to run the city of Chicago and Johnson will have his strings pulled by the CTU, which is not a good thing for anyone. The CTU spends their members’ money without getting their approval on politicians. Do you want someone who wants to defund the police and not give them the resources to do their jobs? Think hard, who is going to fight crime and has a track record.

To Bill of Plainfield who mentioned the Democrats got “Dilbert” canceled. The baiduhai is not owned by the Democrats. Also Bill stated that there was a hatred toward anything conservative. I say kudos to Bill, who was honest enough to remind us that racism is a conservative value.

The miniseries “Roots” was watched by 130 million people in 1977. I wonder if it played today if it would be banned in certain states.

I’m trying to correct a bill on a credit card. You have to be a computer expert. To speak to a representative, you have to go through press one, press two all the way up to nine. Then you have to wait for 20 minutes before they answer. Very frustrating.

Jim from Homewood, you threw all of the Democrats under the bus stating lifelong Democrats should never be accused of being intelligent. Former President Trump will call any news station that speaks out against him fake news. If CNN and MSNBC broadcast propaganda, then Fox News, who stated the election was stolen from Trump knowing they were lying, was only playing an April Fool’s joke and the mob who attacked the Capitol Jan. 6 was just them expressing themselves.

Democrats always give their plans nice sounding names that are not reflected in reality. The Student Loan Forgiveness plan is not about forgiveness. If it were, the banks and colleges would be absorbing the debt, not the U.S. taxpayer, many of whom paid off their loans or did not go to college but went to work and took loans to establish businesses. Why should those people pay for Democrats buying votes?
