Pritzker is asking for federal help as Chicago struggles with the migrant crisis, and more.

Summary and audio
Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
Illinois paid the price for embracing Fauci’s “science.” Here’s the retrospective.
Sounds like somebody told Manteno Mayor he has a really big penis. (Source: South Park “Chinpokomon (‘Americans have big penis’)” episode.)
Well if Pritzker isn’t quite the dictator. “I’m putting the Chinese plant in Manteno, IL and you’ll like it because there is nothing you can do about it.” No choice. Who in the hell in their right mind would vote for a Democrat who can screw you like this? You know Illinois will not do its due diligence and make sure the Chinese aren’t spying on us. Remember the balloon, Swallwell’s Chinese girlfriend, and the Chinese chauffeur? Once this operation is built the Chinese will own Manteno and move on to the next one.
And the procedure for replacing an incompetent governor is…
…do nothing, that’ll show him.
Great conversation Ted! I’m glad you had fun. I wish I could have made it out there.
