Rising steel demand, expected outages at other mills owned by the company will enable expanded use of the Granite City Works. Wirepoints’ Mark Glennon on AM560: Why We Need to “Relentlessly” Make the Blue State-Red State Case

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.
And here comes the green crowd, backed by Pritzker, crying about the environment and some Al Sharpton type big mouth making sure the workforce is 51% diverse, along with other SJW types that sit around all day waiting for Trump to do something that that they can leverage to their advantage or shit on if they can’t. I honestly don’t know why DT tries to do anything positive for IL.
Thank you President Trump
This is great news for downstate as the restart happens without a bundle of State money included in the deal. Good union well paying jobs will return to the area stimulating the whole local economy just as they did years ago after Trump visited the plant after imposing steel tariffs during his first term. Congratulations to all of us and now if we could just restart a coal fired power plant or two we might return to lower electric bills while providing jobs and needed tax revenues to our communities but, I know, Pritzker’s battery plants instead.
