If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades
April 3, 2026

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
Many misunderstand why non-citizens appear on voter rolls. I would hazard a guess that relatively few of them vote – though even a handful of them voting is too many.
Rather having them on the voter rolls provides a pool of voters that can be used when the establishment needs to cheat. All of a sudden, absentee votes start turning up after the election, and voile, the establishment candidate, trailing on election night, pulls out a victory.
While interviewed on Saturday’s All-In podcast episode about his work with DOGE, Elon Musk’s friend and co-investor Antonio Gracias said: “Every benefit program we looked at was being accessed by these people [illegal immigrants]. 1.3 million of them are on Medicaid right now, today. And by the way, it’s just ramping. It’s just starting, just to give you a point. And then out of curiosity, I woke up one night at like two in the morning because I couldn’t sleep, I said ‘Hey guys let’s look at the public voter rolls, see who we can find, in some friendly states.… Read more »

I’m glad you enjoyed it. All-In is a terrific podcast.
This doesn’t surprise me. When is DOGE going to present the evidence to the MSM? Besides taking a wrecking ball to these government entities so publicly and callously, normal American’s are increasingly angry about DOGE because they aren’t hearing about the conclusions of these investigations from the media. Let’s see some irrefutable proof the media cannot spin. To be clear, I am thankful to see this happen and want to see the glutton reduced. But the media must be forced to report on the waste and corruption at USAID and other agencies that many who follow along have suspected for… Read more »
When there is irrefutable proof MSM ignores it and covers something else, absolutely ANYTHING else.
When people hear only MSM and live in their silos there’s not much that can be done to bring them the truth … because they believe information from MSM and Tik Tok without reservation. Any contrary information, no matter how well documented, is summarily dismissed.
The legacy of inferior education and uncurious citizens.
Well, you just gotta keep beating that drum. Otherwise, you’re just accepting defeat.
Don’t follow the rules, don’t follow the law and the federal election results are null and void. No US Senators, no US reps. FAFO.
Every Illinois election can thereby be challenged in court.
Hopefully the Illinois GOP has the guts to do this in close elections. Not holding by breath.
It would be nice if the IL GOP supported/ran candidates that weren’t Democrats.
Does it really matter? IL GOP can’t win with Democrats or MAGA Republicans on the ballot. There simply aren’t enough of us let in the state to win elections. And beyond that, every structural advantage is stacked against us. Republicans used to be the winners in low turn out elections – and now we are the losers. Our maps are the worst gerrymandered in the entire country. The unions are powerful and organized and pump millions into Democrat races, money that the Republicans do not have. We have rampant voter fraud – mainly through ballot harvesting, mail-in voting, etc –… Read more »
We “enjoy” the representation that Chicago and the collar counties vote for. The red/blue map of Illinois says it all.
Where do you think JB’s extra 800,000 votes came from? Nowhere?
Of course they won’t. That would negate Alexi “ The Bankrupter’s” scheme of dispensing drivers licenses from vending machines like Narcan. The blue machine has us by the short hairs in IL folks, admit it already.
I would hope we could generate a lawsuit that says Illinois is allowing illegals to disenfrancise actual citizens voters.
This should encourage people to turn in illegals so they can’t vote.
Of course JB and Democrats don’t want voter ID or cleaning up voter rolls. Doesn’t fit their agenda of voting fraud. They paid for all the illegals and they want the votes.
BTW – WE paid for the illegals- “They” just signed the checks for us.
This is a bunch of bull. Now illegals will be voting that have no right to. To elect these assholes like trickster so yhe American people have to pay their way and live a life better than the American citizens. JUST WRONG BY ALL COUNTS…
What that the Illinois dems are doing isn’t wrong by all counts?
