Governor JB Pritzker’s 70-page federal wish list would cost trillions of dollars, but not a word is provided on that or how it would be paid. Summary and audio linked here.
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 myth of the good natured illegal immigrant is just that: a myth. The illegal immigrant regularly breaks the law because they think nothing will happen to them and they have near zero understanding of the second order effects of their actions.

Most large companies do federal work – They will use E-verify as required.
Amazing how incredibly lawless Leftist Democrats are – they HATE democracy!!!
