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.

ICIRR should be supporting the deportation of criminals here illegally and should supporting legal immigrant right only. The “asylum” scam foisted on us by Biden is a BS construct to justify immigration outside the letter and spirit of the law and should be treated accordingly.
Sickening! No respect for our CITIZENS! Hope Trump has a solid plan to deport ALL illegals and go after any government officials who try to block him.
The strategy is to give up and help your clients find the means to go back home. All around the world remigration is happening.
I really don’t get your media consumption rules. If you don’t read what your opponents are saying then you can’t understand the political dynamics. Besides, they other guys are not always wrong.
#1 rule: avoid Rich Miller.
#2 rule: avoid Drudge Report, wake up in the A.M. and immediately check Citizen Free Press
#3 rule: everything else I read from legacy media is suspect.
#4. make all reasonable attempts, if possible, to get all news from X or conservative news sources interpreting legacy media news.
#5. Interpret legacy news as follows: NBC, CNN, CBS, NYT, WaPo – almost certainly fake. ABC, NY Post, Daily Mail, WSJ: often fake.
#6: Wirepoints – the gold standard!!!!
