Escalating tensions over the war between Israel and Hamas are disrupting the city and dividing Democrats as they prepare to show unity in nominating the president to a second term next summer. Illinois’ congressional delegation is divided, too. All but two members Wirepoints’ Mark Glennon on AM560: Why We Need to “Relentlessly” Make the Blue State-Red State Case

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.
Attention all anarchists. Please visit Chicago during the democrstic national convention on August 2024. BLM, Antifa etc come here and show the democrats your best stuff. Don’t worry about cops because they can do nothing to disrupt First Amendment protests per a CPD general order. Damage, destroy as much as you like, the democrats will love you. Come one come all, bring your rocks, spray paint and anything else that can break a window. Remember, First Amendment protests are fully protected. CPD General Order 2-02
They are unified, they hate Jews?
“Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who is teaching at Harvard University this semester”… while she has no place in higher education, I still can’t believe how many people would prefer her back (or Rahm even) at this point. Too bad they’re all too jaded and will keep voting the exact same way every time, straight up brainwashed.
This is pretty much a Democrat problem and quite ironic. The majority of Jews are Democrats, but they are finding that the progressive Democrats are loudly pro Palestine. Will these Jewish voters look toward the Republicans which are almost all pro Israel? Kind of fun watching the progressive movement alienating moderate Democrats which moderate Democrats should have seen coming, but tolerated anyway.
No, they most certainly won’t vote Republican. They hate you and your values, you deplorable hick, and they certainly won’t be voting for your politicians either.
Not so sure about that. Orthodox jews are very republican. Voted +45 Trump in last two elections. The far left jews will remain brainwashed but the middle may shift to the right.
Hopefully they’ll just sit out the next election.
