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.
Illinois is becoming unlivable everything is so high as we all know, within the next 8 to 10 years Illinois will be just one massive welfare state, it will be the Midwest state of illegals.
DuPage County is losing population?!? How could that be? I thought Naperville, Wheaton, Hinsdale, Downers Grove, etc. were the PERFECT places to live.
Oh, I guess it’s the sky high property taxes, long commutes, frustrating traffic, rising sales taxes, etc. Some of the same things that chased us out of Ill-annoy.
And they are the some of the only states requiring kids to be masked to go to school.
Look who sits in gov seat in both states–only explination needed.
