With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Audio and summary 
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.
More grandstanding.
I want to know, who in Biden’s Administration, gave the Stand Down order to Police attending the Uvalde shooting?
I also want to know how the kid got the money to buy those guns?
If people do not see what is really happening here we are in serious deep trouble.
Critically think folks, connect the dots.
You see it. I see it. I have since 911 and of course the Vegas shooting. Plenty of other examples too. Sandy Hook etc. Mentally…many folks are not ready to accept that our own gov (the fourth branch) is behind these events and are actively working to destroy our constitution and our once great nation.
There are crazy people out there, we understand. But this Uvalde situation very suspicious. Elite federal border control teams just happen to be around, the shooter had access to a really expensive gun and equipment that he supposedly purchased with his savings from his part-time job? and he didn’t have a car and didn’t drive, so who drove him to buy the gun? It’s all really weird, I’m hoping there are innocent answers to these very simple questions but the fact that no one answers them is disturbing.
Disturbing indeed. I would encourage all Wire-points readers & contributors to do their research more now than ever. On Uvalde, I saw a video interview with a parent who went in AROUND the cops to save her two children, which she did. She, was totally convinced they were told to stand down.Then the Whitehouse roll out Matthew McConaughey. All part of a script. Do we really all believe good cops would just standby in that situation? Not buying it. The solution to this “gun” problem is simple. Staff all schools with full time security guards. Why is it there are… Read more »
I would want nothing more than suspicious events to be squashed by truth, explanations and additional facts. This horrifying violence seems to always end the same though. Amped up politics leading to the memory hole by media and the public. With many questions left unanswered. My gut is calling bs.
What would the Guard be needed for? To prevent Chiraq residents from moving to Florida?
Just curious, if Toni’s pick for mayor gets elected will Toni see that there’s some changes made by Kim, Tim and Tom? Everyone except the media knows Toni is letting the city go to shit because she wants Lori out of there. Seems to me that Toni is showing Lori who really has the BD.
This is a serious plan to address gun violence! Lori’s waiting for something that won’t happen and Arbuckle is just waiting. They’re both waiting for somebody else to pick up the bag! Leaders!!
All of this consternation for no reason. It’s as if common sense doesn’t exist anymore. Hey JB, Lori and Kim, when people demonstrate that they cannot live within the laws of society, they don’t get to live within that society. For crying out loud, lock up the bad guys!
Interesting the Winter Weather Platoons may be called upon, how did that work out? So the Lack of Leadership governor JB is waiting to do something, again. And the police are on there own. What a shame!
The National Guard is NOT trained to police; what would be gained by a National Guard presence? Chicago’s problem is not guns either, so any new laws that are passed won’t make a difference – bad guys don’t give a fig about laws. There’s no accountability for criminals. Since Mayor Lightfoot stood by when rioters and looters roamed the streets, criminals learned there will be no consequences for lawbreakers. That policy is being upheld by Preckwinkle, Foxx, and Evans – all social justice warriors who also don’t seem to give a fig about upholding the law. There’s a culture of… Read more »
There are easy answers. Arrest, Prosecute, and Incarcerate if found guilty. It is as simple as can be.
Excellent response!
But with these clowns running the show, it won’t happen.
As you say, the National Guard is not a police force. Pritzker offers this ‘help’ to Lori when things get ugly (maybe uglier than usual) in order to embarrass her. There is no love lost between those two.
There were already National Guard on the highways today around Chicago. They are already coming. Seriously, IL is Iraq. What a waste of resources to have to call in the military to clean up their mess.
Chicago. Leave god’s country out of it
Just a wafer… One more wafer…
