Keep talking about Trump and ignore the whistleblower into the Biden crime family! The investigation has just expanded when the emails implicate another six Biden family members who received suspicious foreign payments. But you Dems will not hear about this because CNN and MSNBC and the rest of the legacy media are carrying water for the Democrat Communist Party. Don’t you get how far left your party has gone? Apparently not. You must think that becoming the United Socialist States of America is a good thing.

Jim, Homewood

Something is very wrong when law enforcement fears consequences for their actions more than the alleged wrongdoers. Like addicts who cannot be helped until they want to be, for too many uncivil and criminal behaviors will never be changed with more money, programs or social services. Billions of dollars over decades have repeatedly proved it, yet Brandon Johnson’s first trip to Springfield was filled with costly requests for more of the same.

Mary, Tinley Park

This weekend wild in the streets. All the punk kids, I don’t care where they’re from they’re punk kids. They’re stopping on cars. They’re kicking them, on top of buses, beating people up. No respect for the law. The future Mayor Johnson, instead of social workers I think you’re going to have to call up the National Guard. Solve this problem the right way. Social workers, they’re going to get their butt kicked. What’s going to happen then?

Being a White Sox ballplayer, don’t you feel guilty accepting a paycheck? There are a lot of fans who work for a living and expect to be entertained. Turn in your uniforms and let the fans play. it would be more entertaining

Mr. G., Chicago

Could the soon-to-be mayor of Chicago, and Black people in general, please stop making excuses for the thugs that roamed downtown Chicago, doing damage and hurting and terrorizing people? They say they did it because they don’t have jobs or anything to do. Oh please, don’t insult our intelligence. They are teenage lawbreakers that are soon to be adult lawbreakers.
