Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension. Audio here.
Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

Parent still has right to withdraw child from school-system, and enroll elsewhere.
The far left Marxists have successfully normalized everything that was previously considered abnormal. Next up is pedophilia, oops I mean “minor attracted person”.
This may have been posted on WP if not it’s a good read on how evil these trans promoters are.

the breadth of this astonishing wave:
the Williams Institute at UCLA reports that the number of young people identifying as transgender has doubled in the last few years and that one out of five people who identify
as transgender are 13 to 17 years of age.
and this is just the warm-up.
This is a well-funded, well orchestrated movement from the top down to not only destroy concepts of sex and gender and family but to move us into the transhumanist- humans merging with AI- era.
Big big money is behind this.
This Judge’s Law School, Cleveland State University (Cleveland-Marshall) Law School, is ranked 127 out of 199 law schools. Imagine being the poor dad in this case, getting this judge, and knowing that this recent Biden appointee would never ever in a million years rule in your favor.
These judges don’t understand the basics of the law. Competence and merit are an afterthought. This is a shocking example of incompetence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Umw5PyorlQ
Biden has said that he intends to remake the judiciary with politically woke judges. But let’s be honest, both Obama and Trump did the same by appointing their own judicial candidates. It used to not be this way so much. Qualified was qualified even if the party preferred someone who at least nominally voted Democrat or Republican. But these days and appointment is a political litmus test. The outcome of the case will not be determined by the merits of the law or even common sense, but rather, which president appointed the judge. That’s not justice when you can predict… Read more »
As usual, you’re erroneously projecting, dividing, making false assumptions, and nominating yourself to speak on behalf of others. I’ve provided evidence before that your stereotypes and assumptions are patently false, and here you are, posting more hallucinations as some sort of factual statement. Why? It’s really damaging to any sort of productive resolution.
Can you cite one of Trumps appointments that’s pulled a ruling out of his ass? Do you understand the judicial nomination process?
Dave, we’re on the same side here, no need to attack. The Federalist Society exists to vet conservative justices before they are appointed to the bench. Of note, blue states senators get to name a minority of judges if there are multiple seats open. For example, in 2019 or 2020, the northern district appointed 4 new judges under trump, and three were understood to be conservatives, the fourth was a liberal. That’s how the process works.

“Of note, blue states senators get to name a minority of judges if there are multiple seats open.” This is wrong. It’s not how the process works. I’m amazed that you continually state your opinions as fact. With the power given in Article II Section 2 of the Constitution, the president shall “nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law.”… Read more »
Pure insanity. U.S. District Judge Lindsay C. Jenkins, a horrible decision.
Nefarious, He is among us.
Insanity on Steroids!
“A state law, known as the Youth Mental Health Protection Act, “clearly demonstrates that when parents are unsupportive of their children’s mental health and gender identity, they are not the best person to make decisions regarding the same by limiting the mental health treatment parents can impose on their gay and transgender children,” the district wrote.”
Oh, my God….
This isn’t education at all. I’m getting really sick of this assumption that schools always know what’s best for kids. This is indoctrination. Education is concerned with how people think, arithmetic, learning desirable skills for the job market, etc. Indoctrination is concerned with what people think and in molding people to achieve some sort of political goal. “The school district asserts Illinois state law goes “beyond federal constitutional guarantees by expressly recognizing a zone of personal privacy.” This is complete BS. They’re more than happy to violate personal privacy if it suits them. Matter-of-factly, students in public schools have absolutely… Read more »
