Thank you for Mary’s unpublished column about Hillary Clinton winning the election! It reminded me of how elated I was to vote for her that year, made especially memorable with my granddaughter going to the polls with me to vote in her first election. From elation to devastation in one day — the election results were beyond heartbreaking as are the conditions and stupidity that continue to reign in our country. Talk about an election that altered the course of history! ALSO, would love to know your view on when did the teacher’s union leadership become so combative? Gates, along with Brandon, could benefit from compassionate conversation training! Love your writing and your Mincing Rascals podcast. Keeps us up to date on the ever-fascinating political happenings and personalities in Chicago.

That photo of Putler with those words are perfect!

What's truly baffling are all the members of the former virulently anti-Communist Republican Party who now love Russia & Putler & want him to destroy the nascent democracy in Ukraine & then overrun all the former satellites of the now wonderfully extinct Soviet Union & turn them into satraps of his, along with invading NATO countries, which the fat orange bastard, seditionist & outright traitor would never help defend, despite the existence of Article Five of the NATO treaty, in which we pledge to help out any other member of NATO that's invaded & which the other countries of NATO did just that with this country after September 11, 2001!

He & they make me sick!
