The red light speeding cameras that are on the city streets and suburban roads are not needed as much as security ones. The tax money should be available for police cameras to prevent and make sure we are safe. Because there is so much crime around here, those cameras will help. Good behavior on the road is important. Cameras should be used in investigations that are even more important than speeding. Footage can help make sure that whoever did the crime can be caught so there are no false arrests. It is better to help taxpayers save money by putting police cameras on the highways, the interstate, the tri-state, and all other interstate ramps. Police cameras should also be put in grocery store and mall parking lots and underground parking lots. They should also be put in universities to help prevent any predators or any other deviants. There should be state police cameras at gas stations and other places on the sides of the highways. Redlight cameras are not as effective as police came...

President Biden did a great job in compromising with Russia in order to bring Brittney Griner home. It was great to see her back with her family. Hopefully we can have more positive news stories like this in the future.

There are better ways to solve disputes than using a weapon. It is a sad shame that the police and our court system are not able to solve things. The easiest way to stop violence is to ask everyone to make an appointment with a mental health professional. The mayor or governor should meet with President Biden to get a solution on how to handle the gun problem and get money for mental health providers. This is starting to not make any sense. There is not enough leadership. After so many cases of gun violence, including in the suburbs, the police, mayor, and others are still not taking things seriously. Sometimes gun violence cases are just because the owners are very careless and do not lock up a loaded gun to keep it out of a child’s reach. The gun might even belong to parents who are in law enforcement. We need to keep firearms out of the reach of the mentally ill who should not be able to use them. Gunowners should wake up and get heavy duty lockboxes and never keep their guns in the...

I am sick of this uncalled for and childish behavior. I do not understand why Russia invaded Ukraine. War is making the price of oil and food go up. It is sad that the cost of college tuition is outrageous. There are so many families who have been displaced because of the war. The best thing we can do is to get help for these people. UNICEF helps Ukraine. NBC has also been kind enough to set up fundraisers for Ukrainian citizens. The next generation is being punished all because of a pathetic coward who has no remorse. Anyone with this mentality, who wants to act like a bully, is disgusting. It doesn't make any sense for President Vladimir Putin to be such a bad influence on citizens in Russia. They must be worried about their families. Russian is the language spoken by 151,174 people at home in the US according to the US census, though many young adults speak English. This is the best time to give help to refugees. All adults and young adults from Ukraine and Russia living here sh...

S ocial media should not be abused by people who show dangerous and abnormal behavior. Some people have obscene minds and are not sensible. What I want my readers to take away from this next blog is that social media has both good and hideous sides. Some people do not act civilized online and there are perpetrators who are not in their right mind. The best way to know what is going on in the world today and hopefully in the next millennium is through the Internet. The Internet can be used for good things, like finding places and getting educational information about getting vaccinated. There is, however, a dark side. The dark web is the most common way for people to interfere with consumer information like citizen’s bank accounts. Additionally, I do not want to see any more obscene pop-ups!   Crimes can happen because of social media and it is becoming its own pandemic. It is making taxpayers wonder what the use of social service programs are if they cannot make a difference a...

People should not be judged by their sexuality. There are teachers, coaches, police, firefighters, babysitters, students, caseworkers, caregivers, bus drivers, and many others who are all part of the LGBT community. Some people are not sure about themselves because of their sexuality. As long as people are not abusing others, like some priests, rabbis, police, or health care and nursing home workers have, their sexuality is their own personal decision and business. I hope this post will educate my readers and professionals about issues impacting the LGBT community.  Pride Month was a time to think and hope for all the best and not the worst. Pride Day was in Grant Park. I celebrate Pride all year round because it has the meaning of love and respect. Look all around! If males have feelings for each other, or females have feelings for each other, and they love and trust each other, they should be at peace with themselves. They should be able to create a life together. There has been ...

Violence and hate are a huge problem. The authorities are not able to handle the crime in Chicago. All of these shootings are like a pandemic! When is this going to stop? Look at the ways this world is so messed up! Even the police are part of the problem. If you need the police, you should not get abused. People should be treated equally no matter what their race is. We need to think positive and be kind to one another. Violence is not the answer. All these misunderstandings are a waste of time and are no reason to take a life. It is all so tragic. A violent criminal is not using their best judgment. The police must take into account the best ways to help those who need mental health treatment and always have backup. Some people need mental health support for violence prevention. All families grieve when they have their children hurt because of violence and homicide. Here in Chicago, even a four-year-old child was murdered by accident! In every community all of this hate has to stop. ...
