Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.

AGAIN 300 MILLION subsidies for garbage collection for 3 union members per truck.

This is what you people voted for as mayor,
the dazzaling urbanite Brandon. Please,
please enjoy the added and new taxes that
this outstanding mayor will ask for, it is not over
by a long shot. Year after year this will continue
ever increasing taxes.
The socialist / communist have there hooks
in you and will tax, bleed and take all they want from Chicago taxpayers.
The end is coming a little faster now buckle
up it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
