For those of us who believe in the sanctity of life in the womb, it is was disheartening to see the headline of abortion clinics swamped in southern Illinois. This part of our state is turning into the killing fields. Also, are these clinics asking the local authorities to track down the pedophiles impregnating these 10- and 11-year-olds?

It’s shocking to me that with all the really troubling things that go on in Illinois, our legislature is focusing on passing a bill regarding gender neutral washrooms.

The column in Sunday’s paper by Ted Slowik was good. The sad thing is nothing is being done about her being soft on criminals. State’s Attorney Kim Foxx is under the umbrella of the Preckwinkle Democratic machine. There are still stupid voters in Cook County, the voters that believe no matter if the candidate is not qualified for the job, as long as the candidate is on the Democratic ticket vote for them. So, God forbid any of you loyal Democratic voters become a victim of a crime. Remember who you voted into the state’s attorney’s office.

OMG, it’s amazing all the revelations we’re reading and seeing on TV. Now, we have to wonder if we’re still the USA or the United States of China. We now realize China’s buying more and more property, building sovereign corporations throughout America and now owns a large portion of Forbes Magazine? How much do we still own?

Yes, this is for Leo in Orland Park. I agree full heatedly that man in New York, that district attorney, I think he is just trying to make a name for himself. If he wants to do something, why doesn’t he go after our president and his son and investigate them? Nobody wants to investigate a Democrat, but they sure do want to go after Trump. What’s the matter with these Democrats? Are you scared of Trump? DA Alvin Bragg sounds just like our attorney over here in Chicago, Kim Foxx. She does the same thing he does about the violent criminals.
