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.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

Kirk’s main audience was apparently college age kids? What’re the odds that many of these older adults were much aware of him much less listened to him enough to know whether he was racist or not?
A post like that is not one of a God fearing – loving mainstream American. It is one of a far-left radical cheering for her side. Normal people will not entrust their most valuable thing in this world, their children, to an organization led by someone like that. My sense is that Algonquin will realize she needs to go. At least she revealed who she really is.
The post that Zettler linked to approvingly (which I have reviewed) also includes these big lies: “We saw the cruelty of the MAGA right when MN Democratic State Senator Melissa Hortman was assassinated in a targeted attack. To this day Donald Trump never bothered to condemn that political violence or extend his sympathies.”
In truth, the motives for Hortman’s killer have not been established, and Trump firmly expressed sympathy and condemnation of the shooting, which can be found easily.
The killer of Melissa Hortman is a favorite but weak example the left trots out to support their “whataboutism” screed.
the problem with Hortman’s killer, Lance Luther Boulter, is that he was a political appointee of Govs Walz, a Democrat.
Moreover his motives are unclear; among his list of assassination targets were abortion providers, suggesting he had conservative views, and yet handwritten flyers with the anti-Trump slogan
“No Kings” were found in his car, suggesting progressive views.
Its a shaky example to use in their weak argument
On par with the transformation of the Islamic terrorist mass shooter of the Pulse nightclub suddenly being labeled “ anti-gay “. Libs bend anything anyway they can to suit their narrative.
