October 10, 2025Dear editor; The residents of the Village of North Aurora, and Kane County have recently lost a real gentleman and a genuine leader: Dale Berman. Berman passed away October 2 at the age of 91. Every time I would speak with Dale, our conversations and his sage advice
October 6, 2025Dear editor; It is truly sad that Congress and our presidents are more concerned about passing a budget without reducing our national debt. Each American’s share of our $37 trillion debt is over $110,000. We owe $2.6 billion each day in interest alone and much of the debt
It appears that after 14,000 years or so, plus or minus, we’re having a new Ice Age. This current one has its abominable snow creatures masked, snatching deadly Latino murderers, drug lords, and other nefarious types (with some American citizens tossed in) right out of their landscape businesses or roofing
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda I’m writing this as a post script to “Wayne’s World” Johnson’s fraudulent claims in the October 2, 2025 issue of The Voice. It was titled: “The world we live in feels like make-believe.” I wonder if Johnson authored this title for his delusional article, or was
By Dr. Glenn Mollette Your life may not make a national impact but who knows how far your life might reach? The people, friends, and family you influence today may have a tremendous impact on many others. You never know what an acquaintance or child might grow up to do
By John & Nisha Whitehead When the government can label anyone or anything an enemy in order to wage war, we are all in danger. That danger is no longer theoretical. In the same breath that the administration touts lethal military strikes against Venezuelan boats in Caribbean waters, federal agents
October 5, 2025Dear editor; Pete Hegseth was confirmed Secretary of Defense on strict partisan grounds and immediately proclaimed the least qualified Defense Secretary in American history. Jonathan Chait, writer for The Atlantic, wrote after Donald Trump’s nomination of Hegseth, that it was “the most disturbing act of Trump’s presidential transition”.
From the vault: July 18, 2022 (revised): He has quartered large bodies of troops among us. He has protected them…from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States. The above are two of the reasons inscribed in the Declaration of Independence that the United

September 28, 2025Dear editor; Artificial Intelligence (AI) has accelerated at a lightning pace from a niche technology to a force driving modern life. No longer science fiction; it now shapes classrooms, hospitals, companies, and homes. The question remains: Does its implementation yield more opportunities or more peril? The data suggests
I hadn’t intended to devote my valuable space in The Voice to Trumpty Dumpty, because I’m very susceptible to nausea followed by projectile vomiting. But with the week of Jimmy Kimmel drama, we learned that if we band together we can get the Orange Bully to lose. Too bad that
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda The “Chas,” as Charles Coddington refers to himself (in the third person is a quirkiness that defines him better than any combination of words could ever describe. I’ve only known one other person with this affliction, and he, just as Charles, was full of “it.” But
By John & Nisha Whitehead The Donald Trump administration is taking its war on free speech into the realm of thought crimes. This is more than politics. In declaring “Antifa”—a loose ideology based on opposition to fascism—as a domestic terrorist organization, the government has given itself a green light to
Musings: •The sins of Donald J. Trump (chapter 11).

By John & Nisha Whitehead What we are witnessing is not a government of the people, by the people, and for the people; it is a government over the people. Call it what it is: Political gaslighting—the regime says one thing while doing the opposite, and insists on the citizenry’s
September 14, 2025Dear editor; Thank you to everyone who joined us this past weekend for my Annual Kids Expo & Touch-A-Truck. We had such a wonderful turnout, and it was heartwarming to see so many families and children come together to enjoy the day. Kids climbed aboard police cars, fire
September 13, 2025Dear editor; I just want to thank the activist democrats, not all democrats, and the democratic so called leadership, whoever they are, for making the next election cycle a little easier for us Republicans to win. You would like to think by now they may have learned something
By Ricky Rieckert Dear readers, I’m thankful to former Aurora mayor David Pierce for his input last week about the Hollywood Casino in Aurora, which opened in 1993. The former mayor wrote that the City gave the casino the land, where the casino was built and a small parking lot,
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda I began writing to The Voice because of the horrific things I came across in the editorial/opinion sections of this publication. I wanted to push back against the hatred, the shameful name calling, the lies and fabrications contained on some of these pages. So I asked
