Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

Today, newly sworn-in Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered a freeze on federal funding to sanctuary cities that obstruct ICE and Immigration officials so…….pretty soon BJ and JB will get their wish. Have fun with that boys.
National sovereignty is at risk with this anarchy, lawlessness and attempted nullification. In 1864, similar attitudes led General Sherman to burn Atlanta. Here the rebels “talk” as if they’re intent on burning Chicago themselves. As with Lincoln, Trump won the election. If the definition of “democracy” includes consideration of the will of the people as expressed in the recent election, the Chicago perps are as much threat to democracy as the Atlanta reb’s. Trump does not seem the “type” to surrender. And Pritzker can’t pardon the participants in the current incipient insurrection. Fine to yell and stamp your feet but… Read more »
A few dozen to Gitmo and a few dozen to El Salvador would change their opinions rather quickly. Continuing deportations to these locations would shut them up real quick and the tidal wave of liberal tears would be wonderful.
Ramiraz says ” we need more illegals, they the base of our future voters so we can take over.”
All the more reason to conduct a complete deportation. This statement confirms that this was an invasion.
“They will not break us” is what Trump supporters are saying — we will no longer allow illegals to financially break us.
Our own Midwest version of AOC. Wonder whats coming next. Maybe a bull horn and her trying to convince the left that every conservative really wants to sleep with her.
You seldom see or never see the following: Harboring or preventing law enforcement officers from detaining an illegal immigrant may violate federal immigration laws, specifically: 8 U.S.C. § 1324 – Bringing in and Harboring Certain Aliens This law makes it illegal to: Knowingly conceal, harbor, or shield an undocumented immigrant from detection.

Obstruction of Justice (18 U.S.C. § 1505 or § 1510) If someone knowingly interferes with an… Read more »
Facial recognition will ID many in need of deportation.
Well it appears Mexico broke down and is placing 10,000 troops at the border to stop the fentanyl importations before the tariffs even took effect. Seems that Trump’s trade war paid off even before it started – a definite spoil to the start of Pritzker’s new day
The cock crows at dawn. What’ll it say at sunset?
Deport them all. A few months at Gitmo will be a nice kick in the way out the door.
What Ramirez means is “we don’t care about immigration laws”.
I love how these foreigners and anchor babies have been here one generation, and suddenly “we own this town”.
One of the aspects of illegals sneaking into the country that makes people wish they’d return home. Just ask people in Minneapolis re Obama’s Somalians.
Till the money runs out.
