Last week my son walked away from his teaching career to manage valet parking services at a hospital, so the headline: “Illinois still suffers shortage of teachers,” on the front page of the March 28 issue of The Voice, caught my eye. With many friends and family members who are
It looks as if we’ll no longer have to worry about the 2024 presidential election, or any elections for that matter. Oumuamua will make them all moot points. Yes, dear readers, the big cosmic hunk of doo-doo that entered our solar system first in 2017 has made a triumphant return

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Alliterations aside, “Wayne’s World” Johnson’s article in the March 7 edition of The Voice was, using his word, “tripe.” Wayne sold his soul to an “armchair” psychiatrist, Dr. Gartner, along with 27 other waddling quacks, saying Donald Trump is almost as demented as Biden. Trump wasn’t

By Marjorie Logman I feel the need to first address Bela “Bill” Suhayda, human to human. My suggestion is for you to let your computer or pen cool and have a nice cup of chamomile tea while reading a good book on Abraham Lincoln. When he wrote he always put
Musings: The Republican Party continues to fall to pieces. A number of moderates in both the House of Representatives and the Senate have announced that they will not seek re-election come November. (Even that old mossback, Mitch McConnell is calling it quits. That should give you an idea of the
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda President Joe Biden needs to take a cognitive test, and if special prosecutor Hur is proven correct, Biden needs to be removed from office under the 25th amendment. If test results prove Biden is not impaired, he should stand trial for illegally- possessing documents he had
February 17, 2024Dear Editor; In a Reader’s Voice February 13 online and February 15 print edition, David E. Smith wrote that Oregon’s deaths from drug overdose increased substantially after 2020 when drugs were decriminalized in the State, implying that this was the cause. Cherry-picked data often lead to inaccurate conclusions.
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Wayne Johnson conducted his own “coronation” of himself to becoming a fact-checker of me in this publication. He has dragged poor “Chas” Codington to the same undignified/ proletarian stature. Wayne needs reinforcements!! Fact-checking is a new thing in the free world. It’s been brought to us

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Wayne’s World Johnson, the author of the piece, was wrote I was wrong suggesting he wanted Donald Trump executed similar to Mussolini during the last days of World War Two. I eagerly read Wayne’s World for my many mistakes.. I wanted to find where I had
January 21, 2024Dear editor; The City of Aurora government and mayor Richard Irvin have decided 15 degrees is warm enough to close the shelters. How cruel. Margie Logman, Aurora
I’ve learned something new, dear reader! I’ve learned that The Voice has an “insane section” in its pages, according to Professor Bela Suhayda, the Wizard of Ooze. He failed as an historian. Now, he is trying his hand at psychiatry. His first patient was Wayne’s World Johnson. His second patient
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Democrats think men can become pregnant!! Speaking of insanity, Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden’s press secretary, told the Nation that police officers were killed in the January 6, 2021 riot. There won’t be a correction, or apology for this lie coming from the White House. A complicit mass
By Mavis Bates The earth is heating up. Last year was the hottest year on record, and this probably will be even hotter. We all know that this Winter is abnormally warm. The old song tells us, “Over the river and through the woods, to grandmother’s house we go. The
