"So, in summation: Save A Lot sold its stores to a shady businessman. The City of Chicago handed $13 million in taxpayer money to a shady businessman. Everyone’s business plan was to count on welfare and welfare fraud to stay in business. But by all means, let’s blame the Orange Bad Man."

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.

Stupid is as stupid does! Several years ago, Walmart closed two stores on the SE side of Chicago. Those stores never made a profit in 17 years. About the same time, Walgreens also did the same by leaving the doors open at several SE Chicago locationsuntil all merchandise was gone! The reason? Theft! These occurred were pre-Trump! Theft is also responsible for the Sav-A-Lot stores closing.
Hmm.. isn’t there a promo for JB making the rounds of him visiting one of the stores for the People’s Republic of IL That Depends On Your Tax Dollars To Succeed all smiles and telling us how great it is and we need more of them? Perhaps the community can find their way to that food wonderland. When they do en masse, look for it to close shortly thereafter.
