Everybody needs a side hustle these days, and mine is Ukraine, where I am now.
-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Audio and summary 
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.
Send “ Carpetbagger Kat “ back to Washington where she voted in the last election. Tell her to take the other five seeking photo ops with her.
Regarding Oak Park council member Brian Straw, he established a crowd funding account to build a defense fund. Why is there a campaign donation disclaimer when donating? Is donating legally considered a campaign donation? If the sum raised exceeds his legal bill, what becomes of the money? I don’t know the answers but the questions are valid.
Don’t the Dems say “no one is above the law”? Convict them and send them to jail.
These people have a different take on the law. They think its ok to riot against Law Enforcement Officers and inhibit their ability to do their job. These officers are doing their job and actually enforcing the existing laws of the United States to protect the country and it’s people. Again, these people make their own decisions about how to behave, but then want to bitch about the out come and what happens next. Freedom of speech is what makes The United State what it is, but violent rioting…isn’t freedom of speech.
They will win. Freedom of speech is one of the things that makes America Great.
Not arresting poor immigrants and not giving them due process of law as the Constitution allows.
Expedited Removal is the rule being applied to the “poor immigrants”. After Biden let 15M unvetted illegals into the country, used our tax dollars to fly them and place them throughout the Country and placed them on every social program known to man…the impact has been too much change – too fast. This moronic, treasonous action by Biden has damaged the Country financially, culturally, socially and placed our Citizens at risk to internal threats. Expedited Removal is Ok.
Free speech doesn’t cover violent protests and hate speech.
The First Amendment does protect hate speech.
It’s amazing to me the number of Americans that say that statement and actually believe it. The propaganda campaign about “hate speech” has done some serious damage.
Yes, I hate that. Oops, I’m in trouble.
Does free speech include standing in front of a slowly moving SUV in effort to impede law enforcement? No, it does not. These people consciously tried to get arrested. Free publicity! Burnish their far left credentials. You can bet you’ll see their campaign literature featuring their pictures at Broadview. But I agree, they were likely overcharged and charges will probably be dropped or reduced to a minor nuisance charge.
Did the “ poor immigrants “ follow due process as they snuck in? Nope. Many have been found to be here for years with ample opportunities to become naturalized US citizens. But, as with learning English, it became an option not a requirement. And let’s not forget the felons that have committed thousands of crimes since their “ search for a better life “ began. Illegals with unlawful guns firing on ICE, the Mexican busted with 11.5 LBS (!) of fetty in Aurora, the nice “ tamale lady “( arrested for colluding with a drug cartel since being deported, btw… Read more »
You are a knuckle head if you think what they did is speech. Its their actions that got the arrested not their words.
