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.
No government program can “steer child carjackers” from doing more car-jackings once they’re released from police custody. (Presently they get a 2-hour “video + snacks” session in lieu of juvenile detention.) Maybe their mothers should be compelled to take away their offender-children’s I-phones, so they can’t continue to post “gun + gang-sign” selfies and “speeding car” videos. Maybe Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram (?) should ban arrested carjackers from their media sites.
