The United Nations; what a joke. People talking and talking while they’re watching innocent civilians getting killed. This war has been going on for over a month. The UN has done absolutely nothing. It’s good for nothing, except for the employees picking up nice salaries to do nothing.

The Republican false information mouthpieces, Trump, Carlson, Hannity, Ingram, will probably soon be claiming fake news about the atrocities and mass graves reported on all the legitimate news channels and found at Bucha and other areas in Ukraine, which would follow suit with their Jan 6 insurrection claims of denial.

Lightfoot is passing out money to people that are hurting, passes on the CTA. Now Pritzker is passing out money. Maybe they ought to start passing out bullet proof vests because everybody is getting shot up, parties on the buses, CTA is having problem, driving in the city the expressways.

To BJ regarding the new lynching law. I agree, lynching is a major problem. While driving to work each day, I must see on the side of the road 10 to 12 people being lynched.

I want to compliment the Native Americans for getting in the newspaper finally about their situation and how they’re getting more populated in the country. It seems very nice that they can do it without going with riots and protests and everything else like the BLMs. I’m proud of them. We took this country away from them and they should have it better than what they had.

Excellent column from Ted Slowik on slowing down in the construction zone. I continue to be amazed at how few accidents occur in and out of construction zones. On a daily basis, I see the 90 mph, hammer down, get out of my way, turn signal, what’s a turn signal, vehicles on Interstate 80/294. I wish there was a way that these disrespectful, reckless drivers had separate roads to drive on, ensuring the rest of us that their actions would be endangering only themselves. Of course part of the solution for this problem is lack of enforcement of laws. Accountability doesn’t appear to be a highly valued trait in our current society.
