President Donald Trump federalized 500 members of the Texas and Illinois National Guard to help with "Operation Midway Blitz." But a federal judge blocked their actual deployment, and they never played any role in the immigration crackdown that targeted Chicago and surrounding cities for two months.
There were 300 National Guard deployed per the Chicago Tribune. Unless they do math like CPS, it is hard to imagine that they paid $66K per guard for the month. On top of that, the federal government pays 75-80% of the costs of the Illinois Guard. I think that justifies a president using the Guard over the objections of a do-nothing governor.
It is just like Illinois grifters to take credit for something done by someone else.
That’s an inconvenient fact that the Dicks of the Democratic Party don’t want mentioned. Dick also needs to explain why he blocked the release of the Epstein files several years ago. That’s another inconvenient fact that Dick can’t get away from fast enough as he finally slithers out the door to leave another DSA like Raj, Kelly or Smokey Stratton to pick up where he left off.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

And why didn’t Dick retire yet?
