Anybody that can get ahold of the Capitol in Washington, tell them to put the wolf back on the protected species list again. There’s no reason to kill such a beautiful animal and they should be protected.

I want to know where are all the police? I drive 394, I drive the back roads in Will County and I do not see police anywhere. All these police departments are whining and crying they don’t have any money, but there’s a lot of speeders out here. Speed limit is 55, I’m doing 60 and I’m getting passed like I’m standing still. I’m a safe driver. I drove a semi 26 years, no accidents. Somebody needs to get out here and start policing these people. I’ve been passed in no-passing zones, on curves that are no-passing zones, and not seen one cop.

I just readthe article about community groups blasting Will County for not making the vaccine available to minorities. Well, the vaccine isn’t just going to be pulled up in front of your house and somebody’s going to jump out and give you the vaccine. You have to work for it. Things don’t always just drop in your lap. It’s time some groups decided to work for themselves and do things for themselves rather than relying on other people.

Reading where MayorLightfoot has unveiled a series of changes for the city’s search warrants for police. The only thing she missed was two weeks notice ahead of time.

Tom from Burbankis like a typical Republican spewing fake information. Dr. Seuss Enterprises decided on its own to stop the publications of the six books, their choice, not the “liberals” as you claim. The “new America” as you claim is from all the lying. Don’t believe me, than fact check something for once.

Tom from Burbank is saying liberals reached a new low. Here are the true facts. Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the group in charge of protecting his legacy, has determined that six of his over 60 books will no longer be sold because they contain racist and hurtful illustrations and descriptions. The six books were published from the 1930s through the 1950s. They are racist from a time when this was common, and many people were not aware of or concerned with racism. Dr. Seuss’s stepdaughter agrees with the decision but insists he was not a racist. In the year 2021, many people are still unaware and unconcerned about racism.
