Alright @Cubs fans. Its time to face reality. The fact is there are no star hitters on the team. Their team avg is .238 and .335 OBP. Its already been a decade since their last title and hopefully it doesn't take 100yrs again.

It is sad what this man is doing to businesses in our state.
He taxes the middle class and local businesses until they have no choice but to leave. Unfortunately even the @ChicagoBears have had enough. We need relief in Illinois before it gets any worse.

Ready???
Starting Aug. 1, Illinois and local sales tax could reach:
Cook (Chicago/Chgo suburbs): 12.25%
Kane: 11.25%
DuPage: 11.00%
Will: 10.50%
Lake: 10.25%
McHenry: 8.75%
EVERYONE, including young people, should be screaming about tax hikes.

The corruption is sickening.
The American people have been lied to as the corrupt politicians enrich themselves with our tax dollars. We have to remind them they work for us and not the other way around. We have to hold them accountable.

🚨 BREAKING: For YEARS, corrupt politicians have been saying Social Security would dry up.

Turns out it's because they've been stealing all the money! 😡

Why is it that citizens can work for 40 years and can't afford to retire but politicians can work for 4 years and retire for life?

FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.

The business community in the state of Illinois will suffer even more. No wonder why so many are relocating to other more business friendly states.

Another Pritzker budget, another plethora of tax increases.

Pritzker’s eight new tax increases will take another $800 million from Illinois workers. This brings JB’s total tax and fee increases to 65, amounting to $8.5 billion annually, leaving Illinois residents paying the highest taxes and fees in the country.

Effective state and local tax rates totaled nearly 17% for a median Illinois household last year, compared to the national average of just 11.02%. Unbelievably, that is even higher than No. 2-ranked New York at 14.95%. Meanwhile, Illinois property taxes have increased by $11 billion, or 33%.

Illinois’ economy has performed so poorly that nearly all revenue growth used to fund the state’s ever-expanding government has come from tax increases rather than economic growth. In fact, since Pritzker took office, almost all employment growth has been in government jobs.

Illinois residents—particularly middle- and upper-income earners—are voting with their feet. Since Pritzker took office, Illinois has continued to lose residents, while the state’s population decline has been offset by a surge in migrant arrivals, which some estimates place at more than 500,000 people. Surveys also show that roughly half of remaining residents say they would leave Illinois if they had the means to do so.

[Joe Capesius aka RAZOR @JoeCapesius]

No more taxes in Illinois.
These politicians are destroying businesses in the state which is why many are fleeing. Help the job creators.

[Slats Grobnik @MissinRoyko]

How do you pass a balanced budget 8 years in a row?

It’s an easy two step process for Pritzker

1. You increase your budget every year with no thought as to whether you have the revenue to pay for it.

2. You then determine what the budget revenue shortfall is and you next increase taxes to cover it

Then you stand in front of the camera and brag about how fiscally responsible you are when you’re not

[Joe Capesius aka RAZOR @JoeCapesius]

It will be interesting to see if our billionaire governor gives tax breaks to his billionaire buddies. Only way they can stay and the exact opposite of what he claims he believes in.
#Bears

[Illinois Review @IllinoisReview]

🚨 Around 4 am, the Illinois Senate passed a revised Bears stadium bill creating local stadium authorities by a 37-17 vote. But the House adjourned the Spring session without taking it up.

Bottom line: The Bears bill is on hold unless Gov. Pritzker calls a special session. Lawmakers aren’t expected back until the Fall veto session in late October.

Florida is run properly.
This is not hard. Without fraud, waste and abuse all this is possible. Will everyone be living there soon?
#Florida

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 NOW: Gov. Ron DeSantis reveals Florida has so much money they will ABOLISH property taxes for primary homeowners, then form a state-level grant fund for local governments who need it for police, fire, and more

BRILLIANT!

Every state should do this! 🇺🇸

"Because we have surplus at the state level, we are creating a fund that will be able to issue grants to local governments. So if you really say, you know, you need help with a fire or a sheriff's department or education, we'll have grants that we're going to be able to do that for this period."

"But what's going to happen is this is going to increase the economic base of all these local areas, because people are going to have more money in their pocket."

"They're going to start getting more revenue from existing taxes without having to add new taxes, and they're going to end up in a very stable situation very shortly."

You can attack police officers.

🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!

SIX Chicago police officers have been injured at "TEEN TAKEOVERS" in 48 HOURS.

Police had to deploy a HELICOPTER after 500+ teens took over a beach and started PUNCHING each other and VANDALIZING CARS.

...ON MEMORIAL DAY!!!!

WHERE ARE THE PARENTS?!!!!!

[Joe Capesius aka RAZOR @JoeCapesius]

I cannot understand why this mayor wants to allow this to happen. This will be a crazy summer. Get ready Chicago.
Our mayor says we need to allow this to happen and not arrest the vandals.

🚨 JUST IN: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is being RIPPED for telling America, "we can't arrest our way to safety" during teen takeovers

WTF?!

"We ask police officers to do TOO MUCH."

Is he serious? He thinks the current Chicago crime wave is police being "TOO TOUGH" on thugs

What a disgrace for a mayor.

Wake up, Chicago!

[Jen @IlliniJen]

Brandon Johnson is scrambling to rewrite Chicago’s social media tax after Big Tech sued to strike it down as unconstitutional.

The plan was to hit platforms with 50¢ a month per Chicago user to raise $31M for the youth mental health crisis those apps supposedly created.

Last week, he launched the 2026 Summer Safety Strategy to stop the next wave of teen takeovers and downtown chaos.

The kicker? He’s now teaming up with those exact same social media companies to stop kids from organizing the takeovers publicly on their platforms, forcing everything into private groups where the city admits it has no knowledge.

Blame Big Tech. Tax Big Tech. Get sued by Big Tech. Rewrite the rules mid-fight. Then beg Big Tech for help anyway.

Smartest move the @ChicagoBears could make. Can u imagine being so incompetent at your job leading the city that u lose one of the original NFL teams? These current policies are making all business' leave.
Lets see if they actually stay in Illinois. I hope they do.

The Bears said in a statement that they are only considering two sites for their new stadium—and Chicago is not one of them.

"The only sites under consideration are in Arlington Heights and Hammond.”

Its going to get worse. Contrary to what they believe and the nonsense they preach of helping the less fortunate their policies only hurt those people and enrich the wealthy people buying the property taxes. They are getting properties for the cost of the tax.

Speaking of housing… why won’t you talk about the land and homes that have been taken from South Side residents?

A federal court judge already ruled that Cook County — a county you govern over politically — is liable for unconstitutional property tax sale violations.

Yet many families are still waiting for accountability, compensation, and answers.

We are waiting, Mr. Eminent Domain.
