I’d like to respond to B.J. from Hazel Crest and say that the world already has no respect for us now. How can Trump do any worse? And as far as your comment on the protesters, I don’t think anyone’s putting money before human life, but when the protesters disrupt business and they can’t earn money to pay their employees, that’s not fair either. The employees had nothing to do with the shooting and neither did the businesses. Protesters should not disrupt businesses. Vote for Trump.

Re diversity: I haven’t seen a white man drive a CTA bus in over 25 years. I have not have my mail delivered by a white man in over 25 years. Let’s change the test for those jobs so more white people get hired. Why not? The fire department changed their test to allow more blacks into the department.

Tom from Oak Lawn I think knows why the Democrats don’t want you to have to show an ID to vote. How else can people vote more than once in Crook County and other places. You need ID to prove you are who you say you are in a lot of instances. Racist issue? I think not. Protecting your identity? I think so.

I read where the RNC is taking away NBC from its debate schedule. I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner because NBC, CNBC and MSNBC are the most biased stations against Republican, conservative values. Their moderators tried to make the candidates look ridiculous during their turn.

I am boycotting the Academy Awards. Not enough Chinese nominees.
The American people should be able to see President Obama’s transcripts for his high school and his college years. What is he hiding? For any job or college application for undergrad or graduate school, you have to submit your transcripts. He is the first president to hide this information for the highest job in the country. He clams that he is a constitutional professor, but his actions do not show it. Again, what is this man hiding, and we the American people should demand that this information be released.

I have been driving for 48 years and I have never received a red light or speeding ticket. My secret is simple: Come to an actual stop at all stop signs and red lights, and drive no more than the limit. In my opinion, very few people realize that the posted speed limit is an upper number, and obviously very few people know what stopping actually is. Follow those two tips and drive safely.

B.J. from Hazel Crest says that we need Donald Trump as president like we need a hole in the head. Let’s peek at Obama’s accomplishments. He’s increased the national debt by trillions of dollars, and the U.S. dollar is no longer the worldwide currency standard. He’s vetoed several of Congress’ recommendations and bypassed Congress many times to create laws that he wants, rather than what the people want. He sends guns, rockets and tanks to Middle Eastern rebels, then says we need gun control here. He gave the country “Obamacare,” which was passed, according to Nancy Pelosi, even before anyone knew what was in it. The list goes on and on. I believe that most people in this country would rather have a hole in their heads than to have another tyrant like Obama as president. His falling ratings show it.

I would think that it’s better that people spend their $1,000 on tattoos instead of something illegal, like dope.
