Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board cited Wirepoints’ analysis of Chicago student proficiency data in their latest piece condemning the Chicago Teachers Union’s outrageous contract demands…all while a vast majority of Chicago’s children graduate unable to read at grade level.

Pritzker’s proposed $52 billion budget, why the state is struggling now that federal covid dollars have run out, the controversy surrounding Tier 2 government pensions, why Illinois’ expensive education system fails to teach children to read, the outrageous demands of the Chicago Teachers Union, and more.

Could it be any more obvious that Democrats can’t do anything right. Time to send them back to the kiddie table and let the adults fix things.
People should be embarrassed they ever voted Democrat, and repent.
My late uncle once declared he was a ‘yellow dog Democrat.’ I asked what he meant by that and he replied that he’d sooner vote for a yellow dog than a Republican/Libertarian/Independent candidate.
Though he won’t be voting again (he didn’t die in Chicago), I’m confident there are more like him out there.
Hopefully filling up with gas and a trip to the grocery store will wise up voters … even yellow dog Democrats understand the mess the Democrats have wrought on our state/country.
Vote the bums out!
I met a fellow IL resident the other day in a professional setting in the North Shore. She let me know she got the shot four times in the first 30 seconds of meeting her.

I would suspect you met my sister-in-law but she lives on the far southwest side of Chicago and isn’t smart enough to get invited to a business event. All these yellow dogs have a common thread, somewhere along the line they are depending on an Illinois government pension plan!
Had a casual conversation with a gentleman in the parking lot of Woodman’s yesterday unloading our groceries and I said did you notice all the elderly in the store. I said that we were led to believe that most would be dead from Covid from the beginning. He was maybe 50’s and said he had covid and complications since the end of 2020. I tried to explain in the few minutes there that if the hospital ever checked his nutrient levels like Vit D and he said I guess,maybe? He thinks he has long haul and I gave him a… Read more »
Did you notice that tax day April 15 is as far as you can get from election day? What if tax day is within a few weeks of an election or property tax payments? Would people vote differently or at least be more careful who they vote for?
