Audio and summary 
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
We need Ted for Governor!!!
Ok, Pritzker… Illinois tallied 45% for Trump through all the fraud and hurdles, but we have only 17% representation in Congress. That’s Gerrymandered BS!
Also, we haven’t forgotten the slating law scheme you cooked up to protect Democrats.
Only US citizens should be counted when drawing these maps. years ago the census listed the citizen status of each person.lets do this again.
Only AMERICAN-BORN citizens. No immigrants should be counted. Not now. Not ever.
It worse than you think. Chicago is the tail that wags the Illinois dog!
Pritzker has a lot of nerve criticizing Texas, with the IL map stripping Independent and Republican voters of their voice. Totally un democratic and demonstrative of authoritarianism. Pritzker and the Democrats are total hypocrites! Congressional maps should be drawn independent of political parties, and based on population numbers of US citizens. Exclude non citizens. Maybe by AI? But that would depend on who’s putting population data into the computer.
Look at that map, ridiculous. Jumbo JB thinks it’s legit, but cries about a state a 1000 miles away that is successful, lower taxes, lower debt and haven for businesses fleeing democratic hellholes like Illinois and California. If you vote for democrats you need a mental health evaluation
Democrats think it’s still 1980 — and voters don’t have infinite access to information. As if we don’t know that Democrats have been the masters of gerrymandering (much of it race based) for decades. This universal access to information (unfiltered by the Democrat-rigged fake news fraud media) explains why Democrats are seeing their lowest polling numbers ever.
Excellent insights as always, Ted (and Ray!). The Dems’ gambit would be laughable if it didn’t also have such terrifying ramifications down the line—not just politically, but also financially and morally.
Ted, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how the GOP in general has handled the slow roll of the Epstein files, and what you see as being the end game for us conservatives.
Thanks,
J.M.
The ‘end game’ better be ‘president’ Joe Biden in a prison cell!
