Reader’s Voice: Governor Pritzker priorities misplaced

January 16, 2024Dear editor; Illinois governor JB Pritzker is back grandstanding for the news media, complaining about the immigration crisis trickling up to Illinois. In October 2023, Pritzker sent an open letter to president Joe Biden begging for federal tax resources to deal with the so-called “asylum seekers” being bussed

As an independent, he criticizes two major parties

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

Reader’s Commentary: Law still requires due process to be found guilty

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

We must be wary of psychopaths, politicians

By John & Nisha Whitehead “When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal.” —Richard Nixon Many years ago, a newspaper headline asked the question: “What’s the difference between a politician and a psychopath?” The answer, then and now, remains the same: None. There is no difference

Reader’s Commentary: Review of U.S. ballot process and those eligible

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Not only hasn’t Donald Trump been convicted of insurrection, he hasn’t been charged with the crime. Special prosecutor Jack Smith, the henchman of the DOJ (Department of Justice) and Democrats, could have charged Trump with the crime, but realized he didn’t have a case. Perhaps Trump’s

We the people: Government, play by the rules

By John & Nisha Whitehead Once a dictator, always a dictator. Power-hungry, lawless, and steadfast in its pursuit of authoritarian powers, the government does not voluntarily relinquish those powers once it acquires, uses and inevitably abuses them. Likewise, any presidential candidate who promises to be a dictator on day one,

Reader’s Voice: Dedication helps cards for veterans

Despite the cold and rain for Christmas Walk December 1, senior volunteers including Michele Bergeron, Jennifer Weiskircher, Rozanne Klejna, Ronie

Anti-Zionism not the same as anti-Semitism

On correcting the “corrector”: Bela Suhayda, in his infinite wisdom, has presented us with an historical perspective which he believes is politically correct. There is, however, another historical perspective which he dares not to enunciate because he believes it is politically incorrect and hence would cause him great harm if

Reader’s Commentary: Defense real against Charles Coddington’s anti-Semitism

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Charles Coddington, in an incredibly-obtuse article to The Voice November 16 edition, dredged up hundreds of years of history to explain the meaning of anti-Semitism and how wrong we are using the term. The Chas argues semantics when Israeli babies are burned alive. Hate is hate

Reader’s Voice: Joe Biden policy in focus

December 3, 2023Dear editor; This is to present contrasting views to statements appearing in the November 23, 2023, edition of The Voice. Imbedded in a paragraph between a sentence on children returning home from universities as “brainwashed soldiers of the Left”, and ending with Biden “destroying our energy independence …

Reader’s Voice: Imprisoned fathers must see families

November 21, 2023Dear editor; Mothers in prison rarely see their families. I find Jill McCorkel’s November 14 article, “Mothers in prison rarely see their families” puzzling. For some reason, she decided to single out mothers and exclude fathers. Was this inadvertent? Seems unlikely because there are nine times as many

Reader’s Voice: Animal Welfare, cultivated meat

November 20, 2023Dear editor; Politicians love to pay lip service to animal welfare, and yet so few of them hold the position that would do most to relieve the suffering of our fellow creatures. That would be supporting increased public funding for cultivated-meat research. For readers who aren’t familiar with
