Illinois Democrat Dick Durbin has reached the age and tenure at which he might fancy himself a Lion of the Senate, but what a joke after his grubby power play Thursday in the Judiciary Committee. In a rush of rule-breaking at the end of a meeting, Mr. Durbin moved to bluster through subpoenas for two friends of Supreme Court Justices on a partisan vote. Chicago Teachers Union contract demands are totally divorced from reality – Wirepoints

Details emerging about Chicago Teachers Union’s upcoming contract show just how divorced its demands, both extreme and expensive, are from the reality at Chicago schools. It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.

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.”
And there it is – Durbin is finally revealing their grand plan Flood the country with illegal aliens, enlist them in the military, and make them citizens The part he isn’t disclosing is who the Marxists will use the alien soldiers against..
I’ve seen this movie before, just with different actors….Barbarians in the army, feckless roman emperors, the sack of Rome…Imagine if 70 years from now if several rogue army divisions sack DC and burn the declaration of independence…
Lion of the Senate, no. Hyena, or Jackal, arguably.
In the Senate Durbin’s nickname is Turd
Dickie continues to be a major disappointment and embarrassment to all fair-minded and ethical citizens.
“Wenn ich Kultur höre … entsichere ich meinen Browning!” My hatred of the social democrats was so great that I finally left the Land of Lincoln 2 years ago. Heil Hitler Herr Durban to the New World Odor!
