The Islamic Community Center of Illinois is raising funds to purchase the former Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church in Jefferson Park, Chicago, and convert it into an Islamic school. Catholics in Chicago should make it clear: our churches should remain places of Catholic worship and are not for sale.

I’ve spent the last few days digging through Virginia’s budget conference report.
What I’ve learned is simple: This isn’t just a budget.
It’s a vehicle for policy changes that would never survive public scrutiny on their own.
Legislator pay raises. New government programs. A state-backed green energy bank. Recreational marijuana implementation. Election law changes. New registries. Childcare regulation changes. Race-based tourism spending. Richmond Coliseum demolition funding.
These are just a few of the items I’ve highlighted in prior posts. Go back and read them. Check the page numbers. Read the language yourself.
Sunshine is the best disinfectant.
If I were in office - my single up/down vote on the budget would be No. You only get one vote - you can’t debate all this stuff and there are too many non-budget policy changes in the budget. Democrats are using the budget to reshape the commonwealth and it’s wrong.
So many examples of Black male excellence, all alive today, and they choose to prop up a dead career criminal fentanyl junkie and a guy who’s in jail for stabbing someone to death.
JD Vance should step in & replace John Thune as Presiding Officer.
It's his Constitutional right, as Vice President.
We could ram through the entire MAGA agenda before midterms, if we just got Thune out of the way.
Let's make it happen.
Cute theory, let's play it out.
A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last.
But... oh wait, there is no pile.
It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded.
The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it.
Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0.
The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession.
But it gets worse.
Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all.
Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees.
So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked.
So the monkeys sit there.
No bananas.
No rockets.
No coordinates to get more banananas.
Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer.
OH
And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.
