Yes, just read in the paper this morning about how swift Mayor Lori Lightfoot took $68,000 from lobbyists for companies and now she’s giving much of it back. Why only much? Why doesn’t she give it all back? For God’s sake, can’t people see what a crook she is. She accepts money and she wouldn’t be giving anything back if it wasn’t brought to the attention of the people. That woman is something else and if the people of Chicago elect her mayor again, they deserve everything that criminal woman does.

Dolly, I agree with you that many students go to school sick, and that many lack in basic hygiene. The thing is that nowadays society has gotten to the point where it is hard to talk to anyone about such a matter. You tell a parent that their child is dirty and right away they scream they’re being singled out and discriminated against.

Boy, my phone’s been ringing off the hook. I’m getting texts like crazy and the emails are inundating my box so fast, I can hardly keep up with them. All my conservative Christian friends who bad-mouth President Joe Biden a year or two ago for how high the gas prices were are all now calling me to apologize, saying thank God he has lowered the prices of gas. Anybody believe that nonsense? Of course not. They were quick to condemn Biden, falsely of course, and nobody would ever give him an ounce of credit if they’re on the right side of the aisle. They’re clowns. They’re frauds.

I’m amazed every morning when I read Speak Out. People continue to support the Democratic agenda and continue to complain about paying $6 a gallon gas or $7 gallon of milk at the same time. They must be happy watching their savings shrink and living paycheck to paycheck. When will these people open their eyes and see that times were good under strong leadership like Trump? We need him back ASAP or we’re doomed!

To Bill in Plainfield. If you actually looked at what Elon Musk released about Hunter Biden, it was the biggest non-news news story of the year! Next time before you rant on Speak Out, read the story first!
