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.
Chicago elected Toni Preckwinkle with 77% of the vote and Kim Fox with 64% of the vote. The citizens obviously like the direction the city is heading. What’s the problem?
Don’t leave home without it!
It’s not just Chicago. You can’t go a day without reading about a high end robbery in Oak Brook. It’s either newly arrived Venezuelans or a group of Chicago’s finest. On Monday it was three lovely ladies named Damonica, Omesha and Onegua that hit up Ulta for $300 in merchandise. I’m not saying they didn’t desperately need the beauty supplies, but you need to pay ladies! They were arrested after a vehicle pursuit by Oak Brook’s finest, but not before they crashed into two other vehicles. Happens all the time now.
