Voters in seven Illinois counties have a chance to approve nonbinding referendums to consider splitting Illinois into two states, separating Cook County from the rest of the state.

What's the #1 reason we must fire @GovPritzker in November? Pick from the list below, or cite your own.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

If you bought your house for $200k, your taxes should never be more than $2,000.

No matter how much they inflate your assessment, my hard 1% cap plan locks your tax to your original purchase price.

It’s that simple.

Governor DeSantis and Governor Pritzker each just signed their 8th state budgets. The contrast couldn't be starker. And the lesson is that who you elect matters. Change out the politicians and you get different policies.
For reference, Florida is 1.8x more populous than IL, 23.37m people compared to 12.71m people. Now consider these points:
1. FL general revenue budget is $52B, IL is $56B. Because state's have different ways of budgeting, lookimg at the total FY27 budgets, FL =$117B, IL=$130B. This doesn't make sense.
2. Pritzker advocated for and signed the largest budget in state history this year and in previous years. DeSantis has lowered the amount spent every year for the last four years and vetoed over $10B in spending during his time in office. Pritzker's budget is up $16B since he took office.
3. Pritzker brags about his credit upgrades, but IL has the worst state credit rating, FL has the best credit rating.
4. FL has a rainy day fund of $18B. IL rainy day fund is $2B.
5. FL is pushing $78B in road programs and moving planned projects ahead 5-15 years. IL can't even get projects planned, permitted and built in a timely manner, so many projects are left undone and money sits in an account collecting interest. And now that surplus interest is being sent to the CTA to bail them out.
6. DeSantis has given back over $9B in taxes. Pritzker has raised taxes every year for a total of over $77B according to IPI.
9. FL is giving $5,000 signing bonuses for police officers. IL politicians want to defund the police.
10. FL is on the cusp of eliminating property taxes for 60% of home owners and they have no state income tax. IL has the highest property taxes, plus individial income and estate taxes, high corporate taxes, and there's been no attempt to meaningfully lower property taxes.
Yes, elections have consequences. But, it can all ve reversed. DeSantis barely got elected 8 years ago. Your vote matters.

Illinois property taxes are a second mortgage.

I want to cap your tax at 1% of your home's purchase price.

That’s THOUSANDS back in your wallet every year.

You bought the house, you should own it.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

"Other states charge more."

That's JB Pritzker's defense for the biggest toll hike in Illinois history.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

I want to cap property taxes at 1% of what you paid for your home.

For many Illinois homeowners, that's $3,000, $4,000, $5,000, even $6,000 back in their pockets every year.

The American Dream is owning your own home.

Not renting it from the government forever.

[Rod Blagojevich @realBlagojevich]

22 more people shot in Chicago, another 4 dead. If I were still governor, I would immediately take up President Trump‘s offer of help and SAVE BLACK LIVES. Why won’t Pritzker do this?

@JustinWeiner A scout recently told me. I like guys who have gone through some adversity and fought hard to get back. It shows true character. Some of the guys that have had it easy. We don’t know what will happen when they finally face some adversity.
Congrats Braden Montgomery - NEVER QUIT

[Slats Grobnik @MissinRoyko]

When a friend went to fill her tank in Illinois on 5/31/26 gas was MORE than $ 5.00 per gallon in fact it was $ 5.799 per gallon

And when she finished filling up in Valparaiso, Indiana with the same grade of gas on the same day the price was $ 3.899 per gallon

Trump is the President of the United States and as far as I knew that also includes Indiana

It’s amazing how his policies only negatively affect Illinois but not Indiana

So by the reasonable use of logic it becomes obvious that the high gas prices in Illinois are not because of Trump, they’re because of YOU and your posse of Democrats in Springfield

Don’t you ever get tired of blaming Trump for the problems that YOU not him have caused?

Pritzker you are literally an IDIOT

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

Imagine being the governor who lost the Chicago Bears.

JB Pritzker’s BUILD Plan is a full-scale assault on Illinois suburbs.

He has no business forcing dense housing and apartments into quiet suburban neighborhoods.

Kill the BUILD Plan.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

I’m the only candidate offering permanent relief at the pump.

➡️ Suspend the gas tax for 6 months
➡️ Repeal JB Pritzker’s gas tax hikes
➡️ End automatic tax increases
➡️ Cut registration fees in half

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

Indiana gas: $3.79
Illinois gas: $5.29

JB Pritzker has Illinois drivers bent over a barrel paying for the second-highest gas taxes in America.

Let’s call it what it is: THEFT.

HOW TO USE SCRIPTURES TO PRAY FOR RESTORATION

Many people read the Bible, but very few know how to turn the scriptures into prayers. One of the most powerful ways to pray is to pray the Word of God back to Him.

When you pray scriptures, you are not praying empty words. You are standing on God’s promises. Heaven responds to God’s Word.

There are people today who need restoration.
Restoration of peace.
Restoration of health.
Restoration of finances.
Restoration of marriage.
Restoration of prayer life.
Restoration after betrayal, pain, delay, failure, or disappointment.

The good news is this: God is still in the business of restoration.

The Bible says in Book of Joel 2:25:

«“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…”»

This means God can restore wasted years, missed opportunities, lost joy, damaged relationships, and broken dreams.

How then do you use scriptures to pray for restoration?

First, find a scripture that speaks about restoration.
Second, meditate on it until faith rises in your heart.
Third, turn that scripture into a personal prayer.

For example:

Instead of only reading Joel 2:25, pray like this:

“Father, according to Your Word, restore every good thing I have lost. Restore my joy, restore my peace, restore my spiritual life, restore my opportunities, restore my strength in Jesus’ name.”

Another powerful scripture is Book of Jeremiah 30:17:

«“For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds…”»

You can pray:

“Lord, You promised to restore health and heal wounds. Let every wound in my heart, body, and mind receive healing today.”

The Bible also says in Book of Psalms 51:12:

«“Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation…”»

Some people are alive physically but empty spiritually. They no longer have joy, hunger for God, or peace within.

Pray:

“Father, restore my spiritual fire again. Restore my hunger for prayer. Restore my joy and closeness with You.”

Another powerful restoration scripture is Book of Isaiah 61:7:

«“For your shame ye shall have double…”»

This means your story can still change. God can replace shame with honor and tears with testimony.

Never pray scriptures casually. Pray them with faith, boldness, and consistency.

Do not allow your present condition to make you doubt God. If God restored Job, He can restore you. If God restored David after failure, He can restore you. If God restored Peter after denying Jesus, He can restore you too.

Sometimes restoration is not instant, but every sincere prayer moves heaven.

Today I pray for you:

May God restore every good thing the enemy stole from your life.
May He restore your health, your peace, your family, your prayer life, your purpose, and your joy.
May your lost years become years of testimony.
May God give you beauty for ashes and joy for mourning.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.
