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. Don’t allow yourselves to be distracted by the competing news headlines cataloging the antics of
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.

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda,Sugar Grove, Ill. It is an irony that while other countries are moving away from Marxist ideology, we here in the U.S. move into its jaws. The land of the free is in peril. The climate change fanatics and globalists who are already dictating what kinds of
By John & Nisha Whitehead Authoritarian control freaks out to micromanage our lives have become the new normal or, to be more accurate, the new abnormal when it comes to how the government relates to the citizenry. This overbearing despotism, which pre-dates the COVID-19 hysteria, is the very definition of
September 22, 2023Dear editor; I had quite a few topics that I wanted to share my voice on, but after receiving the latest edition I decided to put them aside and address Bill’s most recent submission. Bill, I see you as an example of many well-meaning, educated, compassionate Americans who
September 24, 2023Dear editor; This Reader’s Voice is to commend the commitment of Charles Coddington and Wayne E. Johnson to exposing the prolific, often unnoticed transgressions of “T. rump” and “Donny Dum Dum” as described in The Voice. Being adept at seeing beyond the carefully-scripted, false persona concealing a self-aggrandizing,
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Wayne’s World Johnson and “The Chas” continue to wet their diapers trying hard to outdo each other in their perpetual “sliming” of Donald Trump and yours truly. They continue to bash the former president, I’m assuming, to be entertaining to those who have hate in their
The Chas must confess that he has not been very observant where chimneys are concerned. Contrary to what he wrote in his previous essay, there are chimneys facing the street; moreover, there are chimneys in the front of some houses. Sorry for the confusion. Speaking of confusion, our resident UFO
By Bela “Bill” SuhaydaSugar Grove, Ill. The sun, with its warming and cooling cycles, is by far the largest variable to the warming or cooling of our planet. It is actually the only source of light and heat energy excluding lava flows. Nothing else even comes close to having the
By John & Nisha Whitehead Those who gave us the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights believed that the government exists at the behest of its citizens. It is there to protect, defend, and even enhance our freedoms, not violate them. Unfortunately, although the Bill of Rights was adopted
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda As a contributing writer to this paper, I am limited to a precious few hundred words here in the Reader’s Commentary when I am fortunate enough to have my articles included. Owner/editor, Carter Crane, has been more than generous to me in this regard. He has

September 5, 2023Dear editor; Many question whether election totals reported by Illinois election authorities are always accurate. Errors can occur, and sometimes election contests are decided by only a handful of votes. However, in Illinois, independent audits of computerized election reports prepared by county clerks and election boards are not
By John & Nisha Whitehead Ever since Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his ground-breaking “I Have a Dream” speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom August 28, 1963, the Deep State has been hard at work turning King’s dream into a living nightmare. The end result of
Oh, Donny Boy, the courts, the courts, are calling. Prosecutor Fani Willis took the step that those before her in New York and D.C. had avoided: Taking a mug shot of Trump. Did you happen to notice that the protestors Trump asked to show up and raise hell and make
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda How could Donald Trump have overturned the presidential election of 2020 in Georgia? By what method or process could this have been possible? Trump and his coconspirators (attorneys) would have had to use the courts, judges, and state legislature just to get a recount. Trump would
