I can't believe that it has come down to vote for Donald Trump or lose rights we have, to Hilary Clinton. If elected, she will load up the Supreme Court with liberals who think nothing like the Founding Fathers and with rules against the Constitution every time. We also have four dead American soldiers. Have you heard her explain why? I have not. Give us an explanation.I as an American in the United States of America deserve to know what happened there, We have four dead Americans and a burned and bombed-out embassy. Why will she not tell us what happened?

As a lifelong Sox fan, I want to congratulate the Cubs on a fantastic season. Even if they don't win it all in the World Series, it should not detract from what was a phenomenal season. I think I can speak for many Sox fans who will be rooting for the Cubs to win it all.

I am appalled but not surprised at what this government is doing to our vets. Oops, the idiot government did it again; they want the bonus money back that was given to the soldiers so they would stay in the armed forces. How shallow are these people who are in control of this bonus money.The men and women who have done the most for this country are being insulted. The government has also screwed up on the health care for vets. I have a idea: How about taking all of these idiots and sending them out into harm's way? Just maybe they might get the idea and give our vets the respect they justly deserve above their cushy government lives. I'm a vet and could relate to what the government is doing to our vets. I also had bad dealings with my benefits. Where is the president support?

If you want a taste of the liberal form of social engineering, partake of the boondoggle called Obamacare. As the perennially ditzy Nancy Pelosi said: “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” Well, it passed, and we found out it's really, really bad. So, folks, think long and hard whether you want more of this “knuckleheadedness” when you go into the booth and perhaps mistakenly consider voting Democratic.

Congratulations to Orland Park Mayor Dan McLaughlin on his well-deserved raise, which will actually save Orland Park money by eliminating two other administrative positions. Compared to CEOs of companies with 60,000 employees and over $133 million in revenue, the mayor's new salary is a bargain. Mayor McLaughlin, keep up the great work.

Denny, Orland Park
