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.

As the saying goes “Duckworth is as useless as tits on a bull”. Let’s hope the voters realize this.
Kirk’s stroke really had an affect on his ability to campaign. Also, Hillary (being from IL) was on the ballot in 2016 and all the short haired suburban harpies with “I’m With Her” bumper stickers showed up to vote straight ticket D.
Kathleen Salvi needs to present herself better than she did in the debates a few weeks ago. Would have preferred Matt Dubiel. Presented himself much better and speaks the truth. Ms. Salvi is what we are stuck with, so I hope that she gets a spine and can command some presence going up against the Saul Alinsky dirty Democrats.
Voted for Matt, myself. I’d rather Hubbard had won over this gal. She seems Kinzingerish.
No thanks.
Do you prefer Duckworth to Salvi?
We too preferred Dubiel, but we definitely won’t be voting for Duckworth. She and Dickie Durban must go.
