2022/11/05

What is wrong with Illinoisans? Why do they continue to elect leaders who spit in the faces of all decent Illinoisans? Chicago is a hellscape of crime, fiscal mismanagement, failing schools, and sexual depravity, and the people who control both Chicago and Springfield continue to pursue the same ruinous policies that have made Illinois the laughingstock of the nation and led to a mass exodus of good people. And how do Democrats respond? They mock decent Illinoisans and throw a “DRAG ‘EM TO THE POLLS

Written by Laurie Higgins Don Lemon, the daffy anchor on CNN, perfectly captured the arrogance and hypocrisy of many leftists—like many of my former colleagues at Deerfield High School—who while mouthing words about valuing diversity and tolerance and their commitment to “honoring” all voices—cancel friendships with those whose views they hate.

The boorish, embittered, hard-hearted members of the Democratic Caucus in Congress whom I think identify as women really test my ability to love my enemies. If you don’t know who I’m talking about, they’re the cult members dressed in white at the State of the Union (SOTU) address and a couple of others who chose to sit home. Their nominal cult leader is Nancy Pelosi—the boorish, embittered Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives who in a fit of adolescent pique, shredded her copy of President

Do Illinoisans need another reason to vote Democrats out of office? No, of course they don’t, but here’s one anyway. Last June, Governor J.B. Pritzker signed into law a wildly partisan bill that requires Illinois taxpayers to subsidize the college educations of illegal aliens and students who pretend to be the sex they are not (also known euphemistically as “transgender”). The reason Pritzker and his collaborators in Springfield are now forcing Illinois taxpayers to pay for these students’ college

Parroting academicians in now-sullied Ivory Towers, Democratic scolds running for president have been lecturing Americans on the pervasiveness of the white scourge of “systemic racism.” Elizabeth Warren said, “Two sets of rules: one for white families. And one for everybody else. That’s how a rigged system works.” Joe Biden calls racism “overwhelmingly a white man’s problem visited on people of color” and “systematic racism…. [has] been built
