Looks like Hillary Clinton has more emails out there she’s lied about again! Now it seems she was using the secretary of state’s office for personal gain for the Clinton Foundation. At this point, one would think they would charge this liar with perjury and have her serve time. But wait, seems the Obama administration is going to stall Congress and hold up documents they need for an investigation. At what point do the Democrats just stop the nonsense and let the investigation move forward? I do believe they work for the American people, right? Hillary for prison.

Liberal reporting at it’s finest! In Tuesday’s Nation/World section, Sarah Burnett goes on to tell us how racially segregated Milwaukee is compared to other big cities in America. First of all, every American city has ethnic enclaves of various nationalities. The African-American enclaves are no different. The liberal media are the ones who constantly bring race to the forefront. Maybe if the media reported on solutions to all the jobs lost in these neighborhoods and about bringing jobs back, we wouldn’t be talking about a community on the fringe. Wake up America, our jobs are leaving, and the politicians know it.

Talk about irresponsible behavior. A woman left her young child in a hot car for an hour and a half. Thank God the baby survived. Any adult that leaves a child or even a pet in a hot car should get 90 days on a chain gang breaking big rocks into small rocks. Rock on.

Even more about Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels: U.S. 41 was the major route in Indiana until the Indiana Toll Road went in. It has had a bridge out for two years. You have to detour around the bridge. This is a main road. This is like saying in Illinois we’re going to close down Interstate 55 or 294. They ignore it. I had a friend driving to Indiana, working at BP in Whiting. He spent a year avoiding this bridge. This is the way Pence does things in Indiana. This is how he’d do things in the United States if he was vice president, and he’s got Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump with him.
The truth comes out. Russia is trying to frame Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to look bad because Russian President Vladimir Putin is buddies with Republican nominee Donald Trump. Trump has had business dealings with Russia since the 1980s. If Russia decides to attack a nation, the United States won’t go against Russia because that’s Trump’s buddy. I don’t think his is a safe proposition. Another thing is Trump is just as dirty as anything. If Hillary was a man, all this trash talk wouldn’t be going on. Also, did Trump’s wife, Melania, take notes when first lady Michelle Obama was speaking at the Democratic National Convention? In case Melania has to do another speech, she’ll have something to say.

RC from Oak Lawn’s constantly ranting about the Illinois Lottery and how it’s fixed. He never wins. The same numbers come up. He goes on diatribes about nobody knowing where the money is, and they’re all dummies. He’s full of malarkey. Everybody knows where the money is. If he researched by going on the lottery’s website, he’d get a pie chart breakdown from Comptroller Leslie Geissler Munger who, by law, has to publish these percentages. If he’s too ignorant to learn about statistics or the law or large numbers, he ought to stop playing. It behooves the lottery to remain legit. If it was rigged and anybody found out, they’d end up closing because they’d go bankrupt with a lawsuit.

If, and I said if, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton becomes president, does that mean that former President Bill Clinton is going to be the first lady, or are they going to have plans to bring in former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, whom Bill had an inappropriate relationship with, again? That would be a nice thing.
Benghazi-type incidents have occurred often in our history when we have chosen to place both civilians and military personnel in volatile, extremely dangerous situations in which protection could not be guaranteed. Such placements should cease, as in this day and age instant communication is possible from anywhere. Benghazi was another tragedy waiting to happen and it did. In the past, little or no blame was placed on officials involved in these tragedies and there would have been little or none this time if one of them were not a presidential candidate. So the demonizing of Hillary goes on, and on, and on.

“Hillary Clinton is a bigot,” says Donald Trump, as his supporters standing behind him gasp in shock. This guy is nuts. Even his supporters are in shock. I almost find humor in his comments about how supportive he is to the black community, as he continues to be further insulting. Is he stupid, or is he a runaway train with no brakes?

I went to pay a bill today. I will not name the location. I walked into the office and the three ladies behind the counter were in a very animated conversation. I gave one of the ladies my check and bill. The whole time these three ladies just kept right on talking among themselves. The lady taking my bill never even looked at me. She took my check, stamped my bill, handed it back to me without a thank you. Now, I ask you, is this customer service? In this day and age, it is normal.

Finally a win for the taxpayers against a public sector union. My hats off to Larry Deetjen and the taxpayers of Oak Lawn for taking on the firefighters union. They let them know the firefighters work for the community, and not the other way around. Now we need other communities to man up and take a stand against other public sector unions. We need to let them know that picking the pockets of the taxpayers is over, and not to try scaring the people, especially our senior citizens. Next thing you will hear from the fire union is how unsafe this ruling is against them. They will always play that safety card to get their way. Again, I salute Larry and the taxpayers of Oak Lawn for standing tall. The taxpayers have had enough and their not going to take it anymore.
Residents should have been more vocal years ago and demanded better of their Tinley Park officials, but they are not to blame for an ugly Oak Park Avenue and a costly lawsuit. The people we should have trusted were not living up to their responsibilities. We wish we could move out of Tinley Park, but while property values were rapidly appreciating in towns like Frankfort, ours were declining in blight, and now we can’t afford to sell and move elsewhere. We’re stuck.

As far as someone using a bathroom that doesn’t coincide with their biological gender, I predict some very serious butt-kicking in the not too distant future.

Someone wrote that the MVCC highly paid administrators should have a psych evaluation performed because they instituted “black only” classes. I think they should be held accountable for breaking the law. Perhaps they can complete a U.S. history course — paid for out of their own pockets — while serving time for misappropriation of taxpayer money.
From snoops.com: What’s true — In 1975, young lawyer Hillary Rodham was appointed to represent a defendant charged with raping a 12-year-old girl. Clinton reluctantly took on the case, which ended with a plea bargain for the defendant, and she later chuckled about some aspects of the case when discussing it years later. What’s false — Hillary Clinton did not volunteer to be the defendant’s lawyer. She did not laugh about the case’s outcome. She did not assert that the complainant “made up the rape story.” She did not claim she knew the defendant to be guilty. And, she did not “free” the defendant. She also worked to change the laws in rape cases.

About BBK’s suggestion that anyone considering voting for former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should read the book “Crisis of Character: A White House Secret Service Officer Discloses His Firsthand Experience with Hillary, Bill, and How They Operate,” by Gary J. Byrne: Well, BBK, before anyone including yourself considers voting for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, let me recommend you first read former Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler’s book, “Mein Kampf.”

I’m a concerned American citizen. We love our police department. We love all our cops. If you don’t break the law, you don’t have to worry whatever your race is.
People need to realize a Republican president in the White House with the Republican U.S. House and a Republican U.S. Senate will destroy the United States in just a matter of a year or two. The U.S. Supreme Court has already packed the lower courts with neoconservative judges, and they’ll do the same thing to the Supreme Court, which they had until Justice Antonin Scalia died. If you don’t realize the damage that would be done by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, I don’t know where you’ve got your head, but it’s not in a pleasant place.
I hope the Chicago Tribune wakes up and does something with columnist John Kass. I am so sick of his opinionated columns and his ideas and his male chauvinism. I read the newspaper and I see his column and he aggravates me, so I put the paper down. I don’t even finish reading because I’m so aggravated with him. I don’t like the man. He’s too opinionated and I’m seriously considering stopping my subscription just because of this man. Tribune, wake up. He’s too old, for one thing. I’m sure you’ve got some other columnists that are much better than him. Why don’t you get somebody like columnist Donna Vickroy from the Daily Southtown?

Democrats gave Illinois taxpayers the highest property taxes in the country. Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, former Gov. Pat Quinn and House Speaker Michael Madigan ran up the unfunded debt to more than $100 billion so they could get votes from public sector unions. They redrew voting districts so virtually nobody else can get elected but Democrats. It ought to be against the law, but apparently they own the judges, too. People are moving out of state. If I can get out of here, I’m going to sell my house and move. It’s so corrupt. It’s unbelievable. Gov. Bruce Rauner wants to freeze property taxes. They won’t let him do it. Thank God we’ve got Rauner, because Democrats created a one-party system.
