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 would be instructive to find out where Izzy Stroobandt and Randy Gyllenhaal obtained their journalism degrees. They both should demand their money back, as it a chimpanzee can regurgitate talking points in service to the DNC.
Did either of these pretend “journalists” mention Mayor Cliff Notes’ single digit approval rating or Mayor Notes’ spending the city into fiscal oblivion? Naah. These “journalists’ gushed over his attendance at a similar charitable event to the one at Navy Pier.
No matter how much you hate the Useless Chicago Media, it is never enough.
Being attacked by an unruly mob you have a right to protect yourself.
Need more pepper spray and tear gas, all agents should also be provided with hand tasers to immediately take down anyone touching a federal agent.
Of course the local media has to mention Elgin, which has nothing to do with the topic at hand, but neglects to mention the particulars of the incident. You don’t hate CHI “ media “ enough.
Would be a sheer coincidence if the disrespect and chaos in Elgin just happened to tie into the date of Noems appearance.
