Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
***”First, we must remember Chicago is experiencing historic reductions in violent crime on the South and West sides,***
After *historic* increases, any reductions will be *historic* as well…
Not to mention the *historic* increases in other parts of the city…
Add in far fewer police to take the reports of crimes & “viola!” *historic reductions*…
Hogwash!
Hobbling law enforcement is NOT helping … check the crime stats if you don’t believe me.
The making so much progress nobody wants the job!
Back door process to defund the police. Make the job so miserable that nobody will apply. Brilliant!
Too bad they can’t make real progress on crime though.
