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.
Just corndogs money here in Illinois.
Yes, but the farm animals at the fair have a higher reading or math proficiency than the kids in CPS. So it is money well spent.
$190 million-mere chump change. it costs US taxpayers $3 million a day to deploy national guard troops to states and in 2026 the cost for Washington troops alone will be $600 million with no end in sight.
The whataboutism from you is endless, isn’t it, Ratio King? If your friends in the DNC would embrace actual law enforcement consistently, the NG deployments would not be necessary. The NG is there to clean up messes made by your comrades.
Illinois is BROKE it need to start cutting costs, this one could easily go without loss,,,
At one time they may have been a big thing, and to some people they are. But 190 million seems like alot of money to spend .
