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.
It was over 5 years from the Declaration of Independence to Yorktown. It required quite a few colonists, Brits, Germans and Frenchmen to get shot. And the Mayor ain’t no George Washington. But let’s hear her plans.
No, like old man Daley would say, shoot to kill.
Lightfoot has lost this city forever! And you can throw Foxx and all the other dems on the bus! Citizens of Chicago you allowed this to happen!
Good one Axelrod lets “declare” something, yeah that’ll work.
What specifically does a health emergency entail? Besides windbaggery? Maybe some tsk tsk or we can do better? Axelrod and Arne? Is Martha’s Vineyard turning on Lori? Have Lori debate the two simultaneously……Oh Boy!

Just asking.
I see how this works. When it affects the elite then we need to do something about it. Maybe instead of complaining to Lightfoot why don’t you blow a call in to Toni Preckwinkle.

I’ll bet Durbin had to change his shorts when he got home. The irony of the lifetime senator from the defund the police party encountering random gun violence is too much. I’ll smile the rest of the day after reading that. As for Axelrod, as a member of the liberal elite, his opinions are worthless. He reaps what he sows and doesn’t like the taste.
Durbin finally got a taste of Democrat uptopia he’s spent his entire career cultivating. And he found he didn’t like it.
