Reader’s Voice: Scams: Telemarketing, AI, social media

February 11, 2025Dear editor; It has been on my mind to write about my concern online technology is taking our resources of personal time, taking resources of electricity, and is re-allocating capital and private investments into computers instead of humans. I have never felt accepting of telemarketing calls. Advertising can

Reader’s Voice: ‘April Fools Day’ Tax Referendum

February 7, 2025Dear editor; Taxpayers are the government’s “bankers of last resort”.

Reader’s Voice: Donald Trump and the rule of law

January 27, 2025Dear editor; Concerning Donald Trump and the rule of law. Thoughts of an honest, compassionate, non-corrupt Executive Branch of the United States government proved delusional when we as the American electorate voted Trump, once again, as our president and supposed leader of the free world. For some Trump

Reader’s Voice: Presidential pardons, detrimental to law

January 23, 2025Dear editor; Our most recent presidents, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama, have collectively granted more than 11,700 pardons, with president Biden holding the record at more than 8,000 pardons.

Reader’s Voice: Legalized prostitution; flawed thinking

January 15, 2025Dear editor; Some Illinois state lawmakers plan to introduce a bill to legalize prostitution in the Land of Lincoln.

Reader’s Voice: Say no to assisted suicide in Illinois

November 19, 2024Dear editor; Should Illinois legalize assisted-suicide? Some state senators think so. If allowed, vulnerable individuals who are sick, elderly, disabled, and those with mental illness and dementia will become targets. As the father of a Downs Syndrome toddler, I am extremely alarmed by this proposal. No one should

The American Dream is alive again for our nation

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Leftist media is imploding as leftists writing to The Voice are exploding in rage. Elections have consequences, they say, especially when the elections don’t go their way. And it seems MainStream Media has not learned that lesson, at least not yet. They continue to double and

Reader’s Voice: Trump won; needs to be kept in line

November 19, 2024Dear editor; First, as one who supported DeSantis in the primaries, let me congratulate president-elect Donald Trump and his supporters on their victory.

Reader’s Voice: Don’t like what he says, but like his policies

November 11, 2024Dear editor; You say you don’t like what Donald Trump says, but you like his policies. I’ve never liked lying charlatans who are after your money for their gain, and then to give it to billionaires with another huge tax break, while increasing our costs with tariffs and
