-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
“F--- Trump, vote Juliana,” one person after another says in the new TV ad. The ad also features Gov. JB Pritzker and U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth.
Summary and audio linked here.
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.

Classy! Typical Democrat!
I am appalled and offended by this advertisement from someone who wants to represent me.
Another embarrassing Illinois elected official for all the world to see. We are the laughing stock of the U.S
What a truly village idiot.
Because she and the Democrats have nothing to offer. She seems to have forgotten that in the 2024 election, of the 103 counties in Illinois, Trump carried 89. She’s nothing more than the typical Democrat mantra of tax and spend. Departing taxpayers have been replaced by illegals that pay no taxes. Once Illinois had 27 representatives in the US Congress. Today there are 17. Nice work Democrats!
Classy and representative of her voting base. We haven’t heard a peep out of this one while she was being well paid to fetch coffee and pick up JD’s dry cleaning for the last eight years, but now she has all the answers for everything.
They can yap all day, but, they can’t hide the economic benefits that Trump has made happen.
It’s the only message any of them have. My mailbox is full of these brilliant claims. Not a one mention of what they actually plan to do to help Illinois.
“Cursing is a sign of a weak mind and an even weaker character!” That says a lot about Illinois politicians.
I wasn’t sure if Tom “Where are those kids, Jeff?” Pritzker’s brother’s running mate was a complete idiot.
She removed all doubt.
“They said it, not me,” Stratton says as she appears on the screen.
I didn’t say it…but I approve of this message…because I have to differentiate myself from my other like minded simpleton fellow lowlife democratic scum competitors because all we have as a platform is to bash Trump and we know how stupid and gullible our echo chamber base is.
Yes, F—k Trump for the financial disaster that is single party led Illinois.
Remember, she was 1st in line when Illinois legalized pot.
She’s a reflection of the constituents she seeks.
You have to forgive the D’s – it seems like most of them just learned about this word in the last two years and don’t quite know what to do with it.
Sad thing for me is I plan on voting for Ted for Governor so I can’t vote against Stratton too
Radical racist
Beyond a doubt
Seems like the ONLY campaign strategy of the Leftist Dmocrats is to bash PDJT and law enforcement and mock the rule of law. Crickets on near everything else other than wanting to spend more for handouts. Most comical and nutty ads are for Raja, who seems to be a total loser. Some have suggested his parents did not follow the laws to immigration so Raja could possibly be denaturalized and deported. IL Democrats are a mess of unserious nut jobs.
The primaries are dominated by highly motivated progressives who vote early and often because they treat politics almost like a religion. To win the primary, you need their support. Winning the general election is less dependent on them, since Democrats consistently carry all statewide races in this state. As a result, the primary is the real contest. Turnout is typically low – often only 15-20% of eligible voters – even on a rainy, blustery cold day in March. In a crowded field, the key is to capture the attention of angry, dissatisfied progressives. Shouting “F*** TRUMP” works like Pavlov’s bell:… Read more »
‘…progressives who vote early and often..’ Last liar standing wins with Democrats. No thanks, not interested with that rabble.
Stratton, as you may recall, made a point to be photographed being first in line to buy dope when it was legalized in Illinois. Quite the role model for our kids.
