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.
Racism and fear?
In my wildest imagination I don’t see racism in the Rittenhouse trial. A white person defended himself and shot three white people. Where’s the racism?
Fear? Fortunately 12 brave jurors stood up to fear and acquitted. They showed that the system does work.
I’ve read speculation that if Rittenhouse were BIPOC he wouldn’t have been acquitted. Bull! The evidence was overwhelming in favor of self defense. There’s a reason justice is blindfolded.
My heartfelt thanks to the 12 brave men and women on that jury.
They aren’t the only ones who won’t give in to racism and fear. Recent elections showed that. Keep beating that drum Jesse, or have the two guys holding you up beat it for you. If the Feds want to pursue Rittenhouse it will only make things worse for Brandon.
