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.
Given this 10 AM Saturday shooting spree, likely outcome will be sharp decline in retail sales along Mag Mile corridor. Nordstrom and Saks and Bloomingdales and American Girl are reassessing their commitment to maintaining Michigan Ave stores. Oak Brook looks far more attractive as flagship store locations. The high-flyer shopper doesn’t come to Mag Mile anymore; our tourists have vanished altogether. Why maintain these stores just to host gangbangers and shoplifters?
They have to leave those stores open for the broken glass discount demanded NOL, National Organization of Looters.
The permanent victim class continues to commit crimes unchecked because Lori, Kim Foxx and Sophia King pander to criminals in exchange for votes from the south and west sides. This is why business or shopping will never return to the Mag mile or the loop.
Too bad, so sad and nobody cares
It is unbelievable and disgusting that all involved leadership is allowing and encouraging the complete destruction of Chicago to satisfy the craven politics of race hustlers. There’s a big elephant in the room that needs some open discussion concerning crime, perps and recidivists. Thank you officers for doing your job.
We are not allowed to tell the truth about who is committing crimes. If you do you are called racist by the leftists. This city has been destroyed by Lori Lightfoot and the black caucus.
Next time due it during business hours on LaSalle st. Watch how fast businesses leave downtown.
