By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Charles Coddington, in an 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 as babies are burned alive in Israel. Hate is
By John & Nisha Whitehead Americans have become easy prey for hackers, scammers, snitches, spies, and con artists. But don’t be fooled into thinking the government is protecting you. To the contrary, the U.S. government is selling us (or rather, our data) to the highest bidders. By the way, those
November 15, 2023Dear editor; Ukraine is winning. After returning from my second trip to Ukraine this year I have a deep appreciation for the will of their people and beliefs in freedom. On my first trip during the month of May I volunteered with five organizations, chopping vegetables for meals,

November 13, 2023Dear editor; In times of crisis, four presidents ordered the closure of our borders. The 9-11 terrorists entered our country illegally by using forged passports. One can only wonder how many terrorists or criminals could be embedded among the illegal immigrants. Resources of our border towns have been
Anti-Semitism? Bah! Humbug! Do you know, dear reader, that there are two kinds of Jews? They are the Sephardim, the western European Jews, and the Ashkenazim, the eastern European, Yiddish-speaking Jews. None of them, however, is ethnically Semitic; none of them sprang from the seed of Father Abraham, their belief
By John & Nisha Whitehead We have arrived at the dystopian future depicted in the 2005 film V for Vendetta, which is no future at all. Set in the year 2020, V for Vendetta (written and produced by the Wachowskis) provides an eerie glimpse into a parallel universe in which
October 26, 2023Dear editor; Overflowing reserves ($53MM); obstinant refusal to properly recognize and appropriately utilize interest income windfall ($14MM); constantly increasing share of state sales, income, gambling, and marijuana taxes increase (multi-millions); reprehensibly wasteful spending (at least $3MM); and even inaccurate redefinition of elementary generally accepted accounting procedures . .
By John & Nisha Whitehead We are approaching a reckoning. This is the point, which the poet W. B. Yeats warned, when things fall apart and anarchy is loosed upon the world. We have seen this convergence before in Hitler’s Germany, in Stalin’s Russia, in Mussolini’s Italy, and in Mao’s
October 22, 2023Dear editor; This opinion concerns media disinformation. With the escalation of disinformation, both political and social commentary, morphs into propaganda, while credibility plummets like a free-falling safe. Kaitlyn Tiffany, writing for the Atlantic, October 21 in an article subtitled, “Unconfirmed Atrocities are turning into memes”, she reports that
By Bela “Bill” SuhaydaSugar Grove, Ill. The dementia-riddled man in the White House works for Ukraine, China, Romania, and now Iran. He doesn’t work for you. Always verify the worth of a man by what he does, not by what he says. The proof is always in the pudding. Donald
By John & Nisha Whitehead For those who remember the days and months that followed 9/11, there is an unnerving feeling of déjà vu about the Hamas attacks on Israel. Once again the drums of war are sounding on the world stage, not that they ever really stopped. Israel is
October 15, 2023Dear editor; Hooray for our young people! The Yorkville High School students who spoke up at the meeting of their school board September 25 protesting the four members of the boards’ decision to summarily remove a text from their English class had a great civics lesson. They learned

October 5, 2023Dear editor; In his letter to president Joe Biden, governor JB Pritzker complained about the refugees being bussed to Chicago from Texas and how federal aid hasn’t kept up. Pritzker rightly points out that the situation is “untenable.” Immigrants are sleeping in police stations, airports, and temporary shelters,
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda I read with interest Marjorie Logman’s amiable letter addressing me in the September 28 edition of “The Voice.” These are my responses to Marjorie and Dave Hoehne. I have not been “taken in” by anyone, including Donald Trump, as you suggest. I am my own person
By John & Nisha Whitehead Pay no heed to the circus politics coming out of Washington D.C. because it’s just more of the same grandstanding by tone-deaf politicians oblivious to the plight of the citizenry.

September 28, 2023Dear editor; Open letter to Aurora alderman, Carl Franco: I am displeased that you voted through the resolution regarding peddling and soliciting over the wishes of your constituents Tuesday, Sept. 26.
