-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
During a press conference on Monday, Gov. Pritzker called out the judge saying, in part, that she showed poor legal reasoning. "Judge Grischow's ruling is out of step with the vast majority of legal analysis in Illinois and across the nation...As if kids need a minute more of remote learning when there are common-sense tools that we have to reduce and prevent it."

A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

If Pritzker was any more full of excrement, he would be a walking colostomy bag!
Fixed the headline for you:
“Failed Governor Pritzker Has A Meltdown Over Court Striking Down His Scientifically Unsound School Mask Mandate”
You’re Welcome
Now is the time to Rise up for the Children!
Unmask!
Keep the dissent momentum going, join a school un-masking rally!
The left’s undies are in a bunch, keep it that way!
Cultivating, spelunking, barking…the B in JB stands for blaming.
He does seem to blame everyone except himself. Today he tried to discredit the legal system, saying it makes wrong decisions, and they should listen to him instead of the judge.
It’s like an insurrection.
Totally inappropriate for the Gov to call out a judge from a co-equal branch of government. Shame on Jabba. The only one creating “chaos” is Jabba whom is governing through fiat of “emergency orders” going on for well over two years. It a joke that the state legislature allows this to occur they have totally abdicated their role. The reason the judge can stop it through a TRO is bc it is not a law, it is a flimsy statute. Jabba if you don’t like it then call on the legislature to pass a law. This is called a bicameral… Read more »
Any day now Pritzker will refer to the Judge as a ‘carnival barker’.
Like a spoiled brat, Pritzker doesn’t like to be told ‘No!’
A billionaire is never told No.
You can have scientists say anything they want when you are paying them to lie.
Who is cultivating the chaos here? Maybe the Governor who has denied real science the past two years. Remember packages sitting outside to kill the virus? Our grandkids are going to think we were complete idiots. Enough already of his “science.”
And our grandkids would be correct in that assessment.
You mean toilet removing, Florida and Wisconsin visiting JB?
If he is so sure about things why did he let his family go out of state where they did not have to follow his edicts? Was he negligent to his family or is he negligent to the people of Illinois? Which one is it?
So Mr. Know It All is now a legal expert? Sorry Jabba, but you don’t own all the judges in this state. He really is a spoiled child.
Can he say anything else at this point? Multiple times now we’ve heard him say the science and data “prove” him to be right. How can he back off of it without admitting he was wrong or lying? I saw NJ and DE are dropping their mandates next month. Will he hold out to the bitter end? He’s had opportunities to soften his stance, but I suspect he can’t “lose” at this point…so now our kids will 🙁
They fervently believe that masks work – read the comments section of Capital Fax for an insight into the stupidity. If you are against force masking (like 43 other states) = complicit with genocide. There’s no inbetween, no debate, no discussion of the wrong science. And because JB has political cover for masks in his political bubble, he believes he can take away masks when it is politically expedient for him to do so. That’s why he’s given zero metrics to remove the masks and he deflects the question. He doesn’t want to anger his voters and take a defeat… Read more »
JB is not a leader. We’re going to be one of the last states to lift mandates.
