As much as I agree with the nationwide sheriffs election fraud conspiracy, it must be stopped now. Former Georgia state elections director said it best, the danger of anyone embracing a conspiracy is the loss of confidence in election results. Both sides must be there for the count with voting changes made that would stop any possibility of fraud.

What Bill from Plainfield is insinuating is that only Republicans are deplorable. That couldn’t be further from reality. It is not gratifying to see another deplorable opinion like that expressed. There is deplorability coming from all sides. Most of the problems are created by narrow, unyielding thinking. If people would stop pointing fingers and actually open their minds, I would bet the divisiveness in our country would start to lessen immediately.

Some time ago, I dismissed Ted Slowik as a serious journalist; however, when he defends Adam Kinzinger as speaking the truth about President Trump’s role in inciting a violent mob to attack the U.S. Capitol, he accepts the truth of a committee that 100% hates Trump, accepts hearsay testimony, permits no defense witnesses and no cross-examination. Yes, it is not a trial, but a witch hunt to rival the McCarthy hearings.

To Mary from Orland Park and others who share her belief. When I was in high school, we had hall monitors and if there was a shortage a teacher with used. I was running late for my class along with several white students and we all started running at the same time to beat the bell. The hall monitor was a white teacher and he let the white students go but stopped me and wrote up a ticket. It’s not always the Black breaking the rules. It’s what you call human nature. If both races are involved, the Black is subject to take the spotlight.

To David from Tinley Park. The reason I critique Christianity is because I’ve read the entire Bible. Whereas I haven’t read the Quran or the Vetus. Besides, Christianity is the largest religion not only in this country but in the world, so it’s a lot like David versus Goliath. And if calling belief in nonbelief just another belief makes you feel better than have at it. But if atheism is truly just another religion then not collecting stamps is a real hobby.
