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.
But his pay to play money couldn’t buy him a Senate seat.
In my opinion all Politicians(Dem, GOP) lie. JB Pritzker is just so blatant about it. He pretends to be for the average guy. J.B. Pritzker has implemented over 70 tax and fees since he was elected. The majority of these taxes are DIRECTLY on the average person. In Illinois politicians do two terms. One in Springfield and one in Statesville.
“Mother Jones”? Yeah, that’s who I turn to for unbiased reporting. :-/
JB is nothing more than an opportunist who thinks he can win friends/influence people with those Billions. Don’t forget, JB is the Wealthiest Politician in the US (yes, more than Trump). JB spent $323 Million in his 2 previous campaigns for Governor.
If you Really think he would be as influential if he Didn’t have those Billions, then you’re as gullible as those who vote for him thinking things will get better in IL.
Mother Jones can publish a good article if the topic is apolitical. A couple screens of this article’s leftist bull dung was all I could handle.
“Were it not for double standards, liberals would have no standards at all.” – Chris Plante.
Mother Jones hates billionaires, save for lefty loon billionaires like JB the Hutt. The offshore trust funds and multiple mansions with underpaid staff should have put off the marijuana haze crowd.
Nope. JB the Hutt gets a pass.
