Nikki Haley needs to learn to respect elders. I’m 75 years old and find her offensively guilty of ageism. Sen. Mitch McConnell says no to everything as often as a 2-year-old having tantrums. Haley’s party doesn’t trust the moral integrity of women, and she should be aware of the venerable adage if you lie down with dogs you wake up with fleas.

Our Oak Lawn police are just trying to do their job. If a cop says stop it means stop. If you’re not guilty of something there is no reason to run. If you’re 17 and carry a semi-automatic pistol, what are you going to do with it? Where did he get the pistol? You know you’re guilty. Ask Mom and Dad. He’s 17, a minor and his parents should be responsible. The cops were just doing their job.

John in Bridgeport had a good idea. He’d like to send all the gang bangers’ ammunition to help Ukrainian soldiers. I’d like to make it a little better. Let’s send the ammunition and the bangers too, then they can see what a real war is, not just their silly little Trump wars.

Good luck to Hazel Crest residents who live around the Calumet Country Club. Homer Glen legally stole Woodbine Golf Course and has not done one thing to help the subdivisions that surround what is now Heritage Park. What was once a nice quiet golf course with little disruption to residents has become a community center for Homer Glen. There are over 25 events and going up. More traffic and pollution. Not one village trustee, or the mayor, is concerned with the residents that surround this park. Good luck Hazel Crest residents, your lives are going to change.

The Southtown should strongly think about getting rid of their amateur so-called columnist Paul Krugman. He’s obviously a liberal with nothing but woke views on everything. No one is concerned with his left-wing views. Maybe Krugman and Ted Slowik can take their fictional views and head to the New York fake times! People are tired of all the lies from the Democrats.
