Max Cleland came back from the service and was horribly wounded. He worked in government and actually accomplished improvements.

Duckworth comes back and is the first pig in line at the trough. She has done nothing. I honor her service and sacrifice, but as a Senator she is just another pig at the trough like the rest of the Senate.

Who does not even pay property taxes even though she earns $174k a year. My AGI is $36k, but I pay full property taxes, BUT I am subsidizing the likes of Duckie. If I ran against her, this would be my only message. BTW I served in the British Army in the Falklands War in 1982 but do not qualify for an exemption.

As if Taiwan doesn’t have enough trouble, Duckworth goes over there to waste their time. She’s a brain drain wherever she goes.

Details emerging about Chicago Teachers Union’s upcoming contract show just how divorced its demands, both extreme and expensive, are from the reality at Chicago schools. It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.

Gov. Pritzker’s ‘ethics reform’ eliminates competitive elections and choice for voters – Wirepoints on AM 560 Chicago’s Morning Answer

Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about a new law passed by the Democratic supermajority and signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker that results in brazen election interference, keeping Republicans off ballots; about a referendum that tests the waters for a renewed progressive income tax hike; about how the Parental Notification referendum question was knocked off the ballot; and why laws like that pass so easily.

Chicago needs more champions of literacy like Willie Wilson – Wirepoints

It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
