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.
The media has been terrified of the mayor for the last 70 years. J hated the press, Richie hated the press too, but nobody cared. The media cheered on the Daley Machine enroute to being pantsed by the Olympics. That was hilarious.
The media are at the core of the problem. They all think they’re reality stars. Ch7 takes the cake; they’re sooo soo woke! Rahm got a pass except when his caravan was blowing through lights! BFD! They love Lori because she’s so courageous. What a joke. I watch the news for about 30 minutes a month. It’s awful.
Most Chicagoans are proud of that fact, liking to think of themselves as badasses from a badass town, and they are correct, esp. if you replace “badass” with dumbass. Al Capone was the good old days, when crime and politics were organized. The Tribune and other media have long been parts of the problem.
Agreed. Chicagoans should accept as gospel that they live in one of the most corrupt cities in the WORLD.
Don’t forget the state of Illinois as a whole also
The Tribune? For years the Trib has cheered on Chicago politicians! Why? Now Chicago is corrupt?
