Ted joined Jeff Daly to discuss the 50-state metrics Illinois is failing so badly at, the contrast between Illinois and states like Florida and Texas, the gall of state lawmakers giving themselves multiple raises as Illinoisans struggle, and more.

If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.

CARNIVAL BARKERS!!!!! BTW All caps makes it more important. I learned that from JB.
Oh lookee, another Wirepoints subliminal move out story! Don’t worry, they’d never purposely spam readers with hopeless assessments to sway the political landscape and public sentiment. 20? move out stories in the past two months are merely a coincidence.
Peachy – is there something inaccurate about the story? If, as I suspect, there is not, do you object to reporting facts? If there people moving out of Illinois, and in particular with a net loss of higher income people, the problem lies in the reasons people are moving and not Wirepoints. Your objections appear distorted.
Perhaps Ms. Peachy is disoriented from smoking too much legal Illinois weed, or more likely from having too many legal Illinois abortions.
at least that means she kept a few more half pam anderson/half lebron james babies from being born and growing up to mooch off the taxpayers (welfare and food stamps).
It’s an open secret that Glennon owns a stake in several of these “moving for conservatives” companies that market themselves to right-wingers living in non-red states.
I do, Zack? Golly. I don’t suppose you can provide some basis for that, can you? Let me know which ones so I can claim what I own. Sounds like I’m better off than I knew.
Honestly. I’m curious as to exactly how that business model works and…..generates profit. You know. Profit. A concept that is a puzzling enigma to leftist progressives. Please explain. So a business identifies that I’m a conservative and fed up with Illinois and they….line up a real estate agent and moving company and I glide to Texas on a red Republican carpet (and they keep a tidy percentage). Is that it?
Where did that knowledge nugget come from, Zack? Inquiring minds want to know.
You’re right that it’s no coincidence, Peachy. We report the facts, and they are relentless.
Mark Glennon – why the assumption that it is a move out story? For those in Illinois, your reporting just reflects how increasingly difficult it is for Illinois to pay its bills. So Ii question whether Peachy’s assumption regarding moving is even the most relevant.
Yes, it’s not a move-out story. As Peachy reasons things, any reporting on bad facts would be a move-out story.
With liberals, every accusation is a projection.
Perhaps Peachy would find some much-needed peace and help in Texas or Florida.
The numbers don’t matter. Democrats, lead by Fat Fredo, have no problem with bald-face lying to people when what they’re saying is easily demonstrated to be false. That’s because the people who vote Democrat are either ideologues or idiots, or both. It works for Democrat politicians, and that’s all they care about.
Yup, whether JB, Newt or Kamala, either one would be nicely fill in for Biden as a progressive, Obama boot licker.
Many Dems would vote for Hitler over Trump. That is not an exaggeration.
The problem is not that many would vote for Hitler over Trump: it’s that every single of them would choose Hitler over any capable politician.
Liberalism is a disease of the mind.
Absolutely spot on. Progressives hate themselves and hate America. I am happy to purchase one way tickets to North Korea or Iran (their pick) for each and every one of these vermin. Dear Progressives: Please take me up on this offer. Contact Ted D. Myself and my AMEX card will make out the arrangements to Utopia. ONE WAY tickets.
The numbers tell the whole story. Once a great state that was eaten alive by the Public Sector Unions and the bottom still has not been reached. How low can it go? CPS is broken and still will not cut jobs. The results are poor to miserable. Illinois is now a sad state of affairs. When you move do not tell anyone where you were from, just say the Midwest.
Some Obama / Biden blowhard Democrat in-laws recently made the drive from North Dallas to San Antonio and where gob-smacked by all economic development. Blue States like IL helped build TX into a economic superpower.
