First lady Jill Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken just pushed back the women’s movement 100 years. These liberal equity backers just awarded their Woman of the Year Courage Award to a transgender male. It was hysterical to see Blinken flinch when he/she kissed him.

Shelly, the money spent for Ukraine aid, really mostly equipment, etc. would never go to Medicare and Social Security. The way to save them is to drop the payroll tax limit, but as usual the Republicans are opposed, because they want to continue to protect the wealthy and corporations, while claiming to be for their suckers, their supporters.

I just read where former Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson wants to keep his law license while appealing his conviction for lying to the feds, but not tax fraud. He wants to rebuild his life and said his family has suffered, he has suffered and so has his name and reputation. Well, hello, that’s what happens when you break the law. I have more respect for a common thief who steals to support his family than a greedy politician making hundreds of thousands of dollars.

To Jim of Homewood, wokeism as you call it is not communism, it is treating all people the same as human beings. Evidently you don’t believe that.

To Jim in Homewood, until you understand the difference between the truth and lies you will be ill-equipped to understand where today’s Republicans hope to take this country. Authoritarianism and diverseness is where the Republican Party is heading at the expense of truth and your pocket book. To maintain ratings and corporate profit the Fox trio of Hannity, Ingraham and Carlson did not speak out against the attack on the Constitution. If you can’t figure out when you have been conned then as you say, those who ignore history are destined to repeat it.
