Column: Gov. Pritzker owns the botched care veterans got at state home – Lake County News-Sun*

"While Illinoisans mark Memorial Day, the administration of Gov. J.B. Pritzker has failed to fully explain how 36 state veterans died from COVID-19 in 2020. If the Democratic governor has a weakness for reelection, it is in the coronavirus massacre at the LaSalle Veterans Home. That is unless one counts the failure of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services to ensure adequate care for those the agency is supposed to protect."

Crime of the century.

In a lawful society, Freddie Pritzker would face the music. Period.

He can run amok; lawless, corrupt, unchecked, criminal.

Good v Evil. It truly is.

Pritzker was extremely vocal and critical of Rauner when veterans died of Legionnaires at the state run veterans home in Quincy, and the media ran with it all day long. More veterans died at the LaSalle veterans home under Pritzker and we don’t hear about that now. Whoever wins the Republican primary needs to make this a focal point, along with all Pritzker’s progressive policy BS that has doomed this state.

Are brave veterans, DCFS, IDES, and so on we’re is States attorney Raoul to investigate Pritzker how can this be allowed to happen. Pritzker must be punished for his actions and extreme malfeasance, if anything vote this BUM out of office come November 2022 maybe we can stop this some how some way.

Chicago Teachers Union contract demands are totally divorced from reality – Wirepoints

Details emerging about Chicago Teachers Union’s upcoming contract show just how divorced its demands, both extreme and expensive, are from the reality at Chicago schools. It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.

Chicago needs more champions of literacy like Willie Wilson – Wirepoints

It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
