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 Predicted Path to Centralized Governance in IllinoisThe convergence of current policy shifts suggests a calculated transition toward a permanent, single-party state structure. By facilitating a rapid influx of residents who have bypassed standardized health and background screenings, while simultaneously implementing legal protections that block federal immigration enforcement, the state intentionally accelerates a “stress test” on its own core infrastructure. This influx, combined with a 30% increase in chronic health burdens and a growing demographic that may lack long-term investment in the state’s traditional civic foundations, creates an unprecedented strain on educational systems, healthcare facilities, and the tax base.

JB will applaud and sign this bill, then Blame the Federal Government for not doing their job when we hear about the next Young Female that falls prey to an Illegal the way Sheridan Gorman did.
Shielding future Democratic voters to be precise. The dems are filling future needs
Pritzger and his democrat conspirators should hoist the Sickle & Hammer flag over the capital in Springfield. America hating, vile people. Their conduct is disgusting.
in all seriousness, can someone please explain how republicans who claim to be christian reconcile their political & supposed religious beliefs? for example, the god whom they claim to worship commands in the bible that his followers need to love their fellow humans, finacially support the poor and that it’s impossible for a wealthy man to get into heaven. meanwhile, GOP policies are the polar opposite of these values, especially when it comes to issues like immigration. upon examination one can only conclude that for most people, their religious practice is shaped by their political leanings as opposed to the… Read more »
First off, Christian is capitalized, second, while atheists like to flagellum Christians into believing so, Christianity is not a suicide-pact.
Please reference the part of Christianity that compels one to become a doormat for people that are perpetually needy at risk to one’s own life and livelihood . At least Christianity, to my knowledge, doesn’t exhort the annihilation of non- Christians.
“… especially when it comes to issues like immigration.”? So, we should be Good Christians and allow Criminal Illegal Aliens to come into our country the way Joe Biden did, so that they can prey upon American Citizens and increase the ever expanding number of “Angel Families” the way Sheridan Gorman’s family (and at least a Thousand other Families) has?
How Christian is That to allow Your Fellow Citizens to fall prey to Illegals? Hope it Never happens to you, blasphemer…
Why don’t you love your fellow citizens and listen to some common sense. Your thoughts here are nonsense. Look at all the chaos the irresponsibly open borders have caused!!
Illinois political animals continually try and out-stupid themselves. Is it a lowest demonstrable IQ competition like the one on the US House between the odious AOC, Smarmy Swalwell, Raja, and Ratskin?
With the recent killings of law-abiding citizens by illegal immigrants, you’d think that maybe, just maybe the Illinois dunderheads would put this card back into their deck of grievances. True to their collective room temperature IQ: nope.
