God helping USA
To the Editor: I believe God is helping the USA. Before we condemn the current administration too much, maybe check some facts. A few examples would be: Failure to recognize Covid before it got out of control when thousands upon thousands of our most vulnerable population died. Trillions increase to National Debt during Trump administration.…
Read MoreGod help the USA
To the editor: God help the USA. Last week our president introduced our first black female supreme court justice. He started by saying America is a nation that can be defined by a single word. He then began rambling incoherent about when as vice president “I traveled with China’s president thru 17,000 miles in the…
Read MoreWar not justified
To the Editor: Friday, the Kremlin suggested a change in strategy in their war in Ukraine by announcing Russia was focusing on the “liberation” of the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine, where Russian backed rebels have partially controlled since 2014. Using words like liberation, is an attempt to justify a war of aggression against a…
Read MoreGod help the USA
To the Editor; I read that Bill Clinton and ex-president Bush went to Chicago and spoke to Ukrainians. In days past Bill might have flown there in his good friend, Jeffery Epstein’s plane.

Read MoreHunter Biden’s laptop
To the Editor: Hunter Biden abandoned his laptop at the repair shop prior to the 2020 presidential election. It contained incriminating information about Hunter and his father, Joe, known as the “Big Man.” Tony Isobolinski was a witness to much of his information. He and it were totally ignored by big media and law enforcement!…

To the Editor: Friday, the Kremlin suggested a change in strategy in their war in Ukraine by announcing Russia was focusing on the “liberation” of the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine, where Russian backed rebels have partially controlled since 2014.

Read MoreSupporting the Ukrainians
To the editor: Kudos to former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton for coming together to lend their support to Ukraine. The ex-presidents, one a Republican and one a Democrat, have never let their political parties stop them from working together. March 16, they made a joint appearance at a Ukrainian Church in Chicago.…
Read MoreA more comprehensive plan
To the editor: Darrell Dodge’s “One way ticket” (column on March 17) plan to deal with gun violence is a good one I think. However, it may be a bit of a knee jerk reaction to the violence plaguing our country. After all, you’re just as dead if you’re beaten to death, stabbed to death,…
