Yeah everyday I hear about the millions and millions and millions of dollars and artillery for Ukraine. What did they have when they were invaded, nothing? Maybe that’s the U.S. should do, stop your defense spending and just when something goes wrong wait on help like they are.

Yeah, I get a kick out of these football players and every time they get a first down they jump up and signal first down. I think every time they drop an easy pass or fumble the ball they should get up

and signal incomplete pass or signal the other team is getting the ball now.

A 7-year-old boy was killed by a school bus in Park Forest. This was a preventabl­e accident. Cameras in the front and back of every school bus should be the standard, and GPS trackers so we know how the bus driver is driving.

America has news

for M, Orland Park,

Dr. Anthony Fauci has worked for seven different presidents both Republican and Democrat as a federal employee and as director for the government National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases for 38 years, so maybe before you should do some fact-finding research yourself. You should know even Proud

Boys are allowed to tell the truth now and then.

I just opened

the newspaper and was reading the Diocese of Rockford and Joliet will discontinu­e the relationsh­ip with the Boy Scouts, as they usually meet in their basements. I think that’s the pot calling the kettle black. Shame on them.

As I listen

to all the comments on the news about gun control, I would like someone to explain to me why anybody other than farmers and people in rural areas need weapons of war in their homes. What exactly are you afraid of ? Unless you have them loaded and next to your bed, what good are they. I am a gun owner, just for the record, and no one is coming to take our guns away. This is all about gun manufactur­ers profiting from fears.
