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.
Darth Vader, noted architectural critic and slayer of younglings, declared the Obama Church of Fielty and Hopium an architectural triumph.

This reminds me of the fiasco when the White Sox built their new stadium a quarter century ago. It could have been built on old railroad property downtown near shops, bars, hotels, and public transportation, with the awesome Chicago skyline as a backdrop.

The Obama Presidential Center is finally opening—a high-priced monument to a “digital” library that, much like his presidency, contains surprisingly little substance.

If you’re looking for a shrine to mediocrity and Trump-derangement-as-policy, you’ve found it; for everyone else, it’s just a very expensive reminder to finally wake up and put America first.
