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.
Maybe reopening in patient mental health facilities would help, but Dems don’t want to pay for it. They closed down these facilities and now the mentally ill are out on the streets.
The CARE program was started in 2021, so in 4 yrs they’ve “helped” a ONLY a 1,000 people? What does “helped” include? talking to call-ins? handing out literature at the homeless camps?, etc
Yes, they do the meaningless things you cited and call it making a difference. They also work 9-5, M-F and as a result, police are called out to intervene as we all know most trouble occurs at night and especially on weekends. Another example of a social services, taxpayer money black hole.
