The Bible and Christians tell us an awful lot about what God’s been up to for the last few thousand years, but they’re completely silent when it comes to his activities for all infinity before he decided to create space, time energy and mass. I’m curious.

With everything going on in this world, the conservative Republicans are going bananas because of a transgender doing a commercial for Bud Light beer. Videos shown of them setting fire and shooting Bud light like cans The beer company have lost millions of dollars in sales after the commercial was aired. In the meantime, we have people dying every day because of assault weapons. We are dealing with the lousy economy, paying higher gas prices along with food, people are losing their jobs. Yet you see people protesting of beer commercial because our transgender person. Yet, they don’t have the same energy to do something about gun control. Please give me a break.

Jim, Homewood: Hunter Biden has been under investigation for four possible charges. Three for taxes; two misdemeanor charges for failure to file, one possible felony charge for taxes related to a business. Also, one gun related charge for a gun purchase. This investigation is and has been supervised by a Trump appointee, held over by the current administration. So much for the Biden crime family allegations. This information comes from real news sources not the fake FOX, et al. As usual, hyperbole is not facts, but that is what you and others are good at.

Paul, Tinley Park

When will the Chicago White Sox be .500 again? Sometime this season, or next season when they start 0-0?

Dave, Blue Island

Jim from Homewood is dead-on regarding the media’s protective bias toward anything these socialist Democrats do. They also are fixated on the Dominion/Fox results but completely refuse to air a much more important story. Where’s the page 1 story about Hunter Biden and his family? It’s obvious to everyone that they used their office with other countries illegally to gain huge wealth. So, by the media’s refusal, wouldn’t/shouldn’t that be considered aiding and abetting a criminal act?

To Carl of Orland Park, nice Christian message, shoot to kill the unarmed. That was the order of Mayor Daley. Sad you support violence.

Mark, Orland Park

With the enactment and implementation of Florida’s new anti-gay and anti-trans laws, will it be illegal for baseball teams playing there to execute drag bunts? Will players not be allowed to switch hit? Will Gaylord Perry’s name be stricken from the record books? Don’t bet against it!

Denny, Orland Park

To all the law-abiding citizens of Cook County, it is good news Kim Foxx is not running again for state’s attorney. The sad news is the Democrats will run another noncrime fighting state’s attorney for that office. Another pollical hack in the Democratic Party will run for the office.

Bob, Oak Forest

To the White Sox bullpen: They’re hiring at McDonald’s. Aaron Bummer, they will make you fresh fries cooker.

Mr. G., Chicago

Mike from Tinley Park bemoans that “meaningful action” must be taken to prevent more gun deaths. It would be both enlightening and wonderful if Mike would suggest a solution or two. Criticism without solutions is merely whining.

Jim, Homewood

I believe there are a couple of solutions regarding transgender athletes participating in sports according to their sex identity. They participate in sports based upon their sex at birth or create a whole new division of events just for transgender athletes.

Mike, Tinley Park

Bill from Plainfield needs to look no further than the most compromised and corrupt political candidate ever in treasonous and chronic lying Donald Trump. No candidate, especially Republican, has had more criminal investigations going on at the same time then Trump. If you can at least count to three in New York, in Georgia and federal from his treasonous Mar-a-Lago document escapade. And yet the Republicans so far are letting him run for the political office of president, so who are the dummies?

Carl, Orland Park

I kind of know what woke people are trying to do. These people want to make a imperfect world perfect. Sounds good enough. But, the problem is the people in it. Are you going to ticket people for not thinking the way you think? And, if these people do not follow your Utopian ideas, what is next, concentration camps or worse! There is no simple solution for getting people to like one another. Look around the world, there are plenty of nations at war with themselves or their neighbors.

M, Oak Forest

President Biden just announced he’s going to run for president and wants another four years. Mark my words, the Democratic Party is going to throw Joe Biden, Hunter Biden under the bus this summer. There is no way the Democratic National Committee is going to back Biden for president. He is a unwinnable candidate at this time. I don’t know who they’re going to put in his place, but the DNC will not back Biden.
