Are the Chicago Ridge police ever going to solve the Grippo murder? They said years ago they where close to an arrest and nothing ever happened.

To Bill of Plainfield, you are right Trump does have a country to save. I believe he calls it Russia.

Does anyone know why Michael Madigan won’t go to trial for yet another year? Are the prosecutors hoping he’ll die before then? This is not what could be called timely justice.

With over 8,000 migrants already here via the southern border, Chicago’s outgoing mayor has asked Texas Gov. Abbott to halt sending more. She said the city is out of resources and spaces. Past research on Gov. Pritzker offers us insight on possible housing options. In Chicago, a few rooms of the governor’s 26-room mansion might temporarily house Venezuelans. Other possibilities include the governor’s Lake Geneva estate, Florida equestrian estate and Bahamas mansion.

Hey Bill, Orland Park, welcome to not only the 20th but also the 21st century. Politicians have been using cue cards like professional speakers and entertainers have been for years. Many times they do identify not only the questioner but also questions regarding preplanned and prepared to address points and issues. Trump takes it farther however by having free press reporters and news casters thrown out if they ask or say something he doesn’t like as he just did again recently, by taking away a reporters phones from him and throwing them across an airplane. I presume you call that Free Press?
