"Everything wrong with the American left was on display at the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) dinner held on March 22, 2025, in Los Angeles.... Time permits a brief look at just three of HRC’s special guests: Illinois’ incompetent governor, JB Pritzker; AOC-wannabe U.S. Representative from Texas, Jasmine Crockett; and bisexual actress Hannah Einbinder."

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.

A Leftist Democrat freak show that can’t win elections w/o gerrymandering, ballot harvesting, and outright fraud. Beware though – they now plan to corrupt elections using activists posing as judges.
Wow! So now the MAGA crowd is upset because 3 individuals, a governor, a Texas state rep. and a comedian received a humanitarian award!

Says more about Republican voters than anything else. Perhaps those voters should take the time to become more informed than just believing whatever a candidate states in a commercial. We get the elected leaders that we deserve.
There is a 0% Jeanne Ives would have beaten JB. I promise you it’s 0%. Jeanne couldn’t even beat Rauner in a low turnout primary. People seem to forget that Rauner lost less than 100,000 votes from 2014 to 2018 which is typical, normal and not usual for an incumbent candidate. Rauner was nowhere near as unpopular as the leftist media would make you believe. JB won because in 2018 he received a record number of straight-ticket Democrat ballots, more than any other mid-term candidate in Illinois history. Not because voters from flipped from Republican to Democrat, but SOLELY because… Read more »
I can do without the loaded language. Just the facts, Ma’am.
“hellbent on normalizing sexual deviance”
Does anyone wonder something about Pritzker
