August 27, 2024Dear editor; It has become fashionable for some politicians to call their opponents “weird”. How clever! Our Country, State, and County are in so much turmoil that voters should reject junior high school behavior and focus on existing records of performance (or lack of) and policies that will
September 1, 2024Dear editor; This concerns thoughts to consider before I vote for Donald Trump. Before I vote for Trump, I must consider whether he supports the 1873 Comstock Act mentioned by Justice Alito in the Supreme Court’s decision to repeal Roe v Wade. With the repeal of “Roe” already
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Comrade Kamala Harris with her San Francisco values took her “emotional support” vice presidential pick “Tampon Tim” Walz to her first interview since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee. She’s dodged every interview and speaking engagement where teleprompters would not be available. Her own team doesn’t trust
By Peter HancockCapitol News Illinoisphancock@capitolnewsillinois.com Chicago – Former Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger did something Thursday night that might have seemed unimaginable just a few years ago.

August 23, 2024Dear editor; Two friends and I attended a Fox & Friends event at Benny’s Restaurant, Friday, Aug. 23. After breakfast, one of my friends and I were standing outside talking to each other, when a man came by inquiring if he was too late. He then referred to
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Honorable people are truthful people, which is why Wayne’s World Johnson is not an honorable man. Wayne’s articles have taken on an even more dishonest and hateful tone than Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight. Charles Coddington’s pieces are a close second. I believe Wayne’s anger has
Former President and Chicago resident Barack Obama gave the Tuesday evening keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Obama criticized former President Trump, saying, “We do not need four more years a bluster and bumbling and chaos. We have seen that movie before, and we all know that

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Kamala Harris started the week pilfering a good idea from a free market guy, Donald Trump. The idea involves letting people keep more of their money by removing taxes on tips for people in our service sector. Then, Harris had a Marxist idea. It came from
Getting right to the point, which I admit is a bit unusual for me, in a few of my past columns I’ve noted the disrespect that draft dodger and fat, orange, phony-bone-spurred marshmallow, Donald Trump has for veterans, especially those who gave their lives for America in wars and hostile
August 9, 2024Dear editor; This letter is a response to Mighty Joe Way to Go in the July 25 issue of The Voice. In early July, Judy Siedlecki opined in The Voice that certain Democratic Party leaders were wrong in suggesting that Joe Biden withdraw from his 2024 re-election campaign
Two years ago (or so), ye olde publisher, Carter Crane, sent me an E-mail which informed me that someone (I won’t mention any names) wanted to debate me on the pages of The Voice. My first thought was, “I refuse to engage in battle of wits with an unarmed person.”

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda We all stumble and fall. But then there are some who are a bit more clumsy. Enter Wayne Johnson who recently has become a caricature of himself. Every sentence he writes to The Voice, now more than ever, bleeds with anger and hate. Donald Trump escaped
By Robert MangersYorkville, Ill. After reading the column by Charles Coddington (Chas) in the August 1 edition of The Voice, I feel compelled to respond to his many points. Please bare with me because I’m not a writer and kind of out of my element. First, I’m not a fan
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda I’ve had an unfortunate experience reading an arrogant, hate-filled conspiracy piece in the August 1 edition of The Voice, page 6. It was in the “musings about hate and assassinations” section written by “The Chas” Coddington. One ridiculous assertion of the piece dealt with the attempted
Isn’t life grand? Just when Flotsam and Jetsam emerged claw-in-claw on top of the world from the GOP convention, having been confirmed as presidential and vice-presidential nominees, along comes Kamala Harris to drop some acid rain on their parade. I think Kamala should be able to abandon her campaign plans,
Musings: •The consequences of the attempted assassination of T. Rump is clear to this writer. He (Rump) is destined to become the next president of the Untied (sic) States of America, which he has sought for the past four years. Forget about the lies he has told, the crimes he
