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.

I think Pritzker is as likely as any other Dem to be the Dem nominee, assuming Biden is out before November election. Dems will do all they can to keep Biden propped up until the convention, to avoid the chaos and uncertainty of an open convention, and filing deadlines for primaries are already passing. But then they push Biden out after the convention, leaving the Dem National Committee free to pick his replacement on their own. They will see Pritzker as being at least as good as any of their alternatives. His chances in the November general election are a… Read more »
While JB likes to paint himself as a woke progressive, his offshore untaxed billions and silver spoon life are going to disenfranchise some Dems. They won’t vote Republican but they may not vote for JB either. Nothing would surprise me though.
The machine behind JB’s record setting 2.5 million votes and Biden’s record 81M votes is still strong, a little weakened in some places, but strong enough to pull through a Democrat president to the finish line, no matter the candidate. The candidate doesn’t matter, it really doesn’t. Democrats elect anyone with a D next to their name because that’s what the machine does. The machine elects whomever the candidate is. It would take an actual coup within the Democrat Party for Biden to be pushed out of office, and the usurper would have to put himself in as the nominee… Read more »
You can’t ascribe all Dem power to the machine, or the regency as you also called it. A huge part of Dem vote is driven by two issues — abortion and Trump. That mass of suburban Dem voters simply won’t have anything to do with anybody pro-life or pro-Trump.
As nancy pelosi famously said someone else told her, “votes are the keys to the kingdom”. We all understood her to mean ballots but she’s not wrong. Democrats get the votes – through their base of reliable voters, and their ballot harvesting the mail in ballots of unreliable voters. Ballot harvesting is a fairly new phenomena to replace the old school stuffing the ballot box fraud that used to occur. And it’s 100% legal in many blue states for third parties to physically harvest the ballots of unreliable voters. That’s the machine I speak of. The ballots put them over… Read more »
I’ll preface my comment that it’s anyone’s guess at this point, and any opinion is as valid as another. But after what we saw in 2020, but I don’t think the regency behind Biden – because that’s what his cabinet and staff is at this point, a regency – is going to ever voluntarily give up power. If Biden goes out, then the new Democrat president surrounds himself with new people, and the people who enjoy power now, all of them will be out in the cold if a new Democrat president is elected. Biden’s regency took unprecedented steps to… Read more »
That’s certainly a well-stated case against what I said. One issue is who is the “regency” to which you refer, and I agree there is one. In name, the DNC has the power to push Biden out easily whenever they want. And if they did it between the convention and election they can choose the replacement. But the deep state has no small role, and they may well have dominance over the DNC. And just to be clear about my view on the 2020 election, it’s not ballot box fraud that Trump always talks about that flipped the election in… Read more »
Can the DNC really push Biden out without their consent if Biden’s regency refuses to step aside? Who or whom in DNC has the power to execute the bloodless coup, really, to nominate someone else? How exactly does a challenger come along and convince the DNC to toss out a sitting president and give the presidency to this new guy? We are talking about the internal political machinations / court intrigue of the most powerful nation that has ever existed in the history of civilization. That would be a conspiracy (not theory, just a conspiracy!) of powerful people within the… Read more »
Seriously?
They legalized cannabis in Illinois so after a few joints it’s possible the writers would want JB to run for Pope. LOL
