-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Summary and audio linked here.
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.

Salvi would do well to take note of Joes “ Trump in the crosshairs “ type comments, and the frequent equation of Trump to Hitler by the likes of the View and others in the crackpot left media . I have yet to hear the right side of the aisle accuse Kamala of anything other than pointing out the plain facts of her dismal record and performance.
When is the national news story coming on a contrived Harris attempt that no one but Ronald Rowe witnessed?
Those of us who support Trump should control our own rhetoric. By doing so we could avoid alienating voters who are on the fence or unhappy with Democrats, Harris, and Walz. Let’s stop the personal attacks and blowing off steam! The facts alone show that Trump’s record is much better than the Democrat-Biden-Harris record.
Yeah, exactly. How many mass shooters so far have been motivated by the “Great Replacement Theory”?
Pritzker vilifies Trump every day, usually with the word extremism. He acts surprised when someone who hears this rhetoric on a daily basis from mainstream media violently takes matters into his own hands. Kinzinger does the same thing, and he doesn’t even say the violence against a presidential candidate needs to stop. The criticism against Kamala Harris is directed at her undisputed failure as the VP and border czar and her lack of ability to string a coherent sentence together. It does not extoll violence. Dems can’t attack Trump’s record in the White House. An excellent economy, a secure border… Read more »
Pritzker has been among the most divisive: “We need to start recognizing that we have an epidemic of young men enamored with white nationalism shooting up their communities with assault weapons,” he said in the speech, and “our most pressing security threat is the rise of white domestic extremism.” All Republicans are simply evil, Pritzker effectively said, because they care nothing about human life in all circumstances. “Give me one example of the Republican party showing up for life in this country,” he said. More of his gems here:

Its quite simple to understand. They say these things so they can hurt you. What do we do with white nationalists? we hurt them, we throw them in jail, we punch nazis. So when they call you a nazi, they’re telling the world that you’re a bad person, and it’s OK if they hurt you. It all starts with the rhetoric first, and then moves to street violence. They want you to be the target.
They want Trump dead. I said this the other day to my liberal friend in a text thread and he got into a hissy fit over the word ‘they’ and called it a conspiracy theory. But I tried to explain that the purpose of this rhetoric was precisely designed so that some whackjob, or foreign government, or whomever, would take Trump out before the election, all but assuring Kamala of a victory. ‘They’ is everyone who engages in this rhetoric. The entire history of the world is one political faction killing the other political faction. Why would anyone, for a… Read more »
