Biden shared his ideas of how to save Medicare. Well, I have some simple solutions for him. Stop sending millions of dollars to Ukraine. Put America first and save Social Security and Medicare. Get these student loans paid back, put that money into the Social Security and Medicare, put the seniors first for a change. It’s as simple as that. No, new taxes are needed if we would just stop passing our money out like it’s Monopoly money and have people pay their money back.

Regardless of what Scott Adams’ personal views are, they were never reflected in his cartoon strip. It’s a sarcastic take on corporate operations and one of the funniest. Perhaps all cartoonists should be interviewed and vetted regarding their personal views. We may be surprised. What’s good for one is good for all.

To Bill of Plainfield. Bad news for you, First Amendment does not apply to private parties. The government is not stopping “Dilbert,” private companies are. Glad you are good with hate speech, just remember there are consequences as First Amendment would not apply to someone you meet on the street.

To BJ in Hazel Crest, until you understand the difference between news, opinion and propaganda you will be ill-equipped to understand where today’s Democrats hope to take this country. Wokeism is just a nice word for communism, where today’s Democrat uni-party is headed. They control the media to feed you propaganda. The Democrat/Communist Party is all about power for them, at your expense and freedom. By the time that you figure that out, it will be too late. Those who ignore history are destined to repeat it.

When will it end. According to her ambulance chasing lawyers, former Ald. Carrie Austin is too ill to stand trial for taking bribes in the form of kitchen cabinets, granite countertops and Lord knows what else. Claims that she can’t even walk on her own without assistance requiring oxygen doesn’t explain how she was observed shopping on her own all by herself. Like Michael Douglas said in the movie “Wall Street,” greed is good.
