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.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
So the country wants wide open borders, high taxes, wokism on steroids and a transgender in every home? Don’t think so. Grab some bench Big Boy, you’re not going anywhere!
In reality he is ‘running’ for VP. His chances of getting that are between slim and none.
Governor Happy Meal Warrior has a better chance of being slim than being President or VP.

I really hope he runs because he and the entire Pritzker family will not be able to withstand the scrutiny from the online citizen new media.
Just comical.

Lyric Opera has a box for overweight donors?
Great story!
When a governor has 33 counties wanting to secede from his state it should advise voters across the country how bad a leader he is

Even if he was somehow successful on getting the Senate seat from Blago being a senator does not give him the power to do anything he wants to changing policy. As governor he has more power without answering to other members of Congress.
Document Jenny Thornley Pritzker scandal before it gets disappeared from the internet.
I’m sure that his potential opponents in the Democratic party already have a full campaign talking about toiletgate ready to use against him. The country does not deserve Jumbo Belly.
