Weekly crime statistics from the Chicago Police Department: Report through 5/4/2024.
Gov. JB Pritzker calls it “ethics” reform.
It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
While this new advisory referendum could be nothing more than a political distraction, it could also be that lawmakers are gauging Illinoisans’ appetite for another bite at a progressive income tax hike – this time with lower property taxes as a sweetener.
At $1.5 million per job, the new incentive package from the state is at least 15 times the norm. For this much money, the state could have just handed out a million bucks to 827 people, instead of creating 550 jobs.

Round boy is trying to figure out how to keep his Dictatorship intact.
Orange Man BAD……Fat Man STUPID!!!!
As long as there is talk of more stimulus from the feds Illinois will never reopen. More bailout money…
Freedom isn’t given, its taken. Take back your freedom, start with the simple act of not wearing your mask at all at any point while going out for a breakfast. Enough people start doing that is whats needed. I’m beginning to see a little of that. Fortunately our local breakfast place doesn’t harass anyone for a loose or missing mask, hell the waitresses all have them below their noses!
I have posted before. 1st May my mask comes off for good. I will survive.
Pritzker is like a little kid riding a bike with training wheels. He’s afraid to take the damn things off. Unfortunately, he won’t let us take off our training wheels either.
He knows exactly what he’s doing, unfortunately. Not enough people putting up a fight.
The absolute worse news for us here in IL, was when they revealed that the *virus* inordinately affected the overweight & obese…
That sealed our fate to a never ending mask mandate…
Got 2nd shot and have been sick for 3 days. This stuff better work!
The pre-rollout “effectiveness” studies were a complete CON. Like the covid thing as a whole. Much in-depth analysis is available on this, but focus on recovery.
Recommend avoiding any “tests” going forward also.
Oh yea,im also sure our legislators are VERY busy with mulling over very important things such as what statues are offensive and should be taken down or how to finagle another pay raise for themselves,WAAAY more important than stopping our buffoon of a governor!
Porkie Pricktakur is making boatloads of money on this Con-19 thingie. Warehouse ownership for PPE for both state employees and us poor folks. He also owns a medical records company to process the Con-19 paperwork. So he making money on keeping us diapered up. Certain rules for you and I, but he can go up to is estate in WI or FL anytime, under the cover or darkness. We’re watching you Porkie and want you OUT!
Well said Lea!
Good job Mr Ted.
I will just report this.
2021 First Quarter Fund Raising. Matters of Fact.
President Trump’s Save America Pact: $85m.
RNC: $44m
DNC: $18m
President Donald Trump raised $23m more than the DNC and RNC combined.
Mr Governor and Beijing Biden. You have 18 months left before the bridge is raised.
The best is yet to come.
In general I have supported Trump however I hope the GOP finds a younger, improved version soon.
Now your talking agree 100 % with you
DeSantis may be the one…
I agree with MW – a younger more polished version.
I would have liked General Flynn but a Governor is better.
i doubt many of our legislators know how to read but i really hope the few that can,read some of these comments,if they read this,GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND PUT A STOP TO THIS CLOWN WE CALL A GOVERNOR!!
this over weight clown keeps changing the rules as we go,mainly because the people allow this and the feckless weak kneed republican legislature does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for the citizens of this crappy hell hole known as illinois,wisconsins legislature fought against their governor ,and the supreme court in wisconsin stopped some of the ridiculous mandates.Why our legislators cant do the same thing is beyond rediculous and totally unacceptable!-Heres the middle finger for you FAT BOY!!!
I will predict this now, we will not fully open in this State in 2021. This Governor is scared and so is his health lead. When she gets on TV last year and cried, I would of fired her immediately, that is not how you lead, awful. I have a son in Huntsville Alabama and a friend in Nashville and they are fully open, no masks and they are thriving with no increases in cases or hospitalizations. My Dad lives in Fla and is 80 years old and he is out at the bars and restaurants with no restrictions, and… Read more »
In the past year I’ve been to Alabama twice, Tennessee, Table Rock Lake in Missouri 3 times and the Dominican Republic. Few mask requirements but everything is open and life is pretty near normal. Illinois is a joke and I cannot wait to relocate.
Blue states a joke. Red states based. It is comical watching the drones in IL.
This brings a whole new meaning to the phrase silent but deadly.
Stop waiting for the Government to tell you what you can and cannot do. We are a free people. Not serf or slaves to be dictated to. Get a grip and act like real Americans!
