EDITORIAL: Illinois Family Institute is truly ignorant on the benefits of legal pot

There are times when we know some editorials and letters to the editor are so outrageously ridiculous, they don't even warrant being seen in the public eye, whether online or in your daily newspaper. I've ran into this twice today regarding the same letter to the editor that was submitted this afternoon. A letter to the editor submitted to not only this publication, but also the Free Press-Progress in Nokomis, this afternoon came from Kathy Valente from the Illinois Family […]

Mac’s Korner: Week of November 29, 2017

Mac's Korner: Week of November 29, 2017 A man staggers into an emergency room with two black eyes and a golf club wrapped tightly around his throat. Naturally, the doctor asks him what happened. "Well, it was like this," said the man. "I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife when she sliced her ball into a pasture of cows." "We went to look for it and while I was rooting around, I noticed one of the […]

Mac’s Korner: Week of November 22, 2017

Mac's Korner: Week of November 22, 2017 Late one night in Washington, DC a mugger wearing a ski mask jumped into the path of Harry Reid and stuck a gun in his ribs; "Give me your money," he demanded. Indignant, Harry replied, "Don't you know who I am?" You can't do this...I am Senate Minority Leader, Harry Reid! I have been a United States Congressman since 1987. "In that case," the mugger said, "give me my money." .... Ronald Reagan […]

McCaleb: Legislators break into song and dance when real fix is needed

(Illinois News Network) -- I've been called many things, but handy isn't one of them. When something around the house breaks, I usually take a look at the problem, dig through my toolbox, look some more, and then call someone to fix it. Don't get me wrong. I can change a lightbulb and even have replaced the battery in our smoke detector. But if something more complicated stops working – say, the washing machine – I don't have a chance on […]

Commentary: Time for a sane alternative to the Moore circus, write in Ron Bishop for U.S. Senate

Recent revelations regarding sexual misconduct from Republican U.S. Senate Roy Moore has turned the special election for Jeff Sessions' vacated seat into a carnival sideshow. Accusations from five women so far have involved statements that Moore made improper sexual advances on teenage girls while serving as a district attorney decades ago in Gadsen, Alabama. Dozens of Republican lawmakers, including Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, Arizona Sen. John McCain and senior Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby, have called for Moore to withdraw […]

Commentary: Austin Petersen devolved from an anti-Trump libertarian to a MAGA sellout Republican for Missouri U.S. Senate race

Austin Petersen, a longtime "small-l" libertarian, is in the running for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate in Missouri in 2018. What voters don't realize is his devolution from an anti-Trump libertarian to a libertarian Republican selling out to the "Make America Great Again" slogan when there's nothing wrong with America, except the government screwing things up. While Petersen has worn many different hats in the past decade. He was a producer of Freedom Watch, a former Fox News Channel […]

Illinois Policy: Illinois lawmakers stampede for the exit

SPRINGFIELD (Illinois Policy Institute) -- The most likely driver is pretty obvious to most Illinoisans: the rage of constituents. Thirty state lawmakers in the 100th General Assembly will not be holding their seats in the 101st General Assembly. And that’s not even counting those who might be ousted at the ballot box next year. The exodus is unlike anything Springfield insiders have ever seen. National polling data has long shown Illinoisans at the bottom of the barrel when it comes […]

Emery: Packers, Bears prepare for 193rd meeting Thursday, lifetime series tied

The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears renew the NFL’s oldest and longest rivalry when they meet for the 193rd time on Thursday night (7:25, CBS). Incredibly, it’s the rubber match. The series, which began in 1921, is a dead-level tie at 93-93-6 in regular-season play. A mere 16 points separates the teams over the life of the rivalry, as Green Bay holds a slight 3,300-3,284 edge in scoring. Recent history favors the Packers, as Aaron Rodgers is 13-3 against […]

Commentary: Claims by Feds and tech experts regarding Kaspersky Labs software is hogwash

Moments ago, we re-published an article published by the Associated Press ("Best Buy says it will no longer sell Kaspersky Labs software, worries ripple in consumer market" -- which has since been renamed on the AP website) regarding the Federal government banning their agencies from purchasing Kaspersky Labs software and Best Buy Co.'s removing their products from their shelves as an unrelated consequence of the Federal ban regarding their agencies. I have to raise some red flags regarding the article […]
