Pritzker: “Democrats want to cut taxes for everyday people.”
Also Pritzker: 7% statewide tax on Netflix, concerts, and sports, on top of Chicago’s 10.25% tax on streaming at home.
House Democrats pushed that last fall. In Chicago, it would have meant about 17% on streaming and nearly 19% on tickets. Lollapalooza said the tax threatened the festival.
Under Pritzker, Illinois now has the highest combined state and local tax rate in America. At least 63 tax and fee hikes. $77 billion in cumulative costs to taxpayers over 8 years. About $1,400 more a year for the median household.
“Cut taxes?” More like stack taxes.

Caledon, Ontario:
These two stole all the bags of firewood available for sale roadside for the second time in less than a month.
They have enough money for a +$100k Denali pickup but would rather steal than pay people for their hard work.
Make them famous, these people are turning Canada into a low trust society.
🚨DEAR GOD!!!!!!!!
Albany NY police have just RELEASED Devin Brewington from jail!!!!!
Yes, they RELEASED the man who was FILMING HIMSELF BRUTALLY BEATING PEOPLE AT RANDOM on the streets of Albany.
He's out.
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?!!!!!!!!
🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after White female nurses were BEATEN IN THE HEAD and THROWN TO THE FLOOR...
...after a Black man who had ALREADY been found INCOMPETENT TO STAND TRIAL for previous assaults... TWICE rampaged through a hospital!!!!!
Prosecutors quietly DROPPED the charges until a local TV station caught them and the re-filed them.
Her name is Yanira Eguileor.
On May 30th, she heard a woman scream in her emergency room.
She turned and saw a man chasing a female staffer toward the nurse's station, winding up to hit her.
Yanira didn't run away. She ran AT him.
Her words: "He was about to strike her, and I said, 'No! Don't hit her.'"
So he turned on her instead and beat her.
"He started punching me in the back of my head. He punched me a total of three times."
...then he threw her to the floor
Court records show Wenyou Rubin already had an open felony case from October 2024.
For AGGRAVATED ASSAULT ON A POLICE OFFICER.
And he had already been found INCOMPETENT.
A man too mentally ill to stand trial, with a pending felony for attacking a cop, was allowed to wander an emergency room, in her attorney's words, "virtually free, almost unescorted."
AND IT GETS WORSE
Weeks after the attack, the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office DROPPED the charges against him.
Their reason? They couldn't get in contact with the victims.
Yes, they said they "couldn't find" the nurses who are hospital employees.. at the hospital, where the attack happened... ON CAMERA!!!!
The charges only came back because a local TV station ran the story and embarrassed them into it.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!
Man appears to go after New Yorker for walking his dog in the park
"Take the dog away from the f*cking people" https://t.co/xLA5xqNUcO
In Islam, dogs are considered to be haram, specifically their saliva is considered "ritually impure" so many muslims stay away from dogs
There are even teachings that say angels do not enter a house containing a dog
The question still remains, why are they coming to the west if they don't like it and don't want to assimilate?
🚨BREAKING: 21 people shot, including children across Chicago so far this weekend, mass shooting last night & 5 police officers hospitalized after being mowed down by an 18-year-old at a teen takeover on the West Side.
Chicago is a total war zone ruled by Democrats.
🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after White inmate in a South Carolina jail run by a Black man just DIED OF THIRST on the floor of his cell... covered INCHES-DEEP IN FECES, with the water to his sink SHUT OFF.
He drank out of his OWN TOILET to stay alive.
He wrote letters to his father pleading for help because he was being tortured because he was White.
His name was Gary "Bubba" Blair, he was 43.
He was the caregiver for his own elderly father. He had two nephews he adored and a dog named Scrubby.
So why was he in jail?
In February, Bubba showed up at his sister's house wearing a sheriff's office golf shirt, a security badge, handcuffs, and pepper spray. Deputies arrested him for impersonating a police officer.
A judge found he wasn't mentally competent to stand trial and ORDERED the state to place him into treatment on June 3.
The South Carolina Office of Mental Health never followed through.
Bubba sat in that jail for 181 days waiting for a spot.
He passed away 51 days after a judge ordered them to get him help.
In April, he write a letter to his father:
"I've lost about 90 pounds so far. I'm starving to death in here; only two meals a day, that's it... you starve, and I also have to drink from my toilet and no mattress to sleep on, only a hard ground."
"I’ve been abused by staff and assaulted by everyone on the unit; I had to go 28 days without a shower... no help for a white man"
"The staff is very nasty to white inmates thanks to Troy Ellerbe and James Dixon."
Then in May, Bubba did something that will haunt me.
He wrote a letter to a CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE begging for help.
The letter had a bad address. It was returned. It never arrived.
Meanwhile, sources say the water to his sink was SHUT OFF. His cell floor and walls were covered in feces INCHES DEEP. He was alone. Never let out.
Other inmates, who got a few hours out of their cells, told the news they watched Bubba drink toilet water.
So they took an empty potato chip bag and filled it with water and pushed it through the food slot in his door!!!!!
Most of it spilled before it ever reached him.
On July 24th, jailers found him dead on the floor.
49 days later, the autopsy came back.
Cause of death: profound dehydration due to DEPRIVATION OF WATER.
Manner of death: HOMICIDE.
The report also found bed sores on his HEELS, consistent with a man lying on a concrete floor for days at a time.
Acute bronchial pneumonia.
Profound weight loss.
Physical evidence that he had been INGESTING TOILET WATER.
He had lost so much weigh and was in such poor condition, his sister and aunt went to the funeral home to see him... they did not recognize his body.
The sheriff fired the Black jail administrator 5 days after Bubba died, and refuses to say why.
Bubba Blair sang to old folks in nursing homes. He took care of his daddy.
He deserved so much better than dying of thirst on a concrete floor.
Say his name. Gary "Bubba" Blair.

🚨 UC BERKELEY IS SEEKING AN H-1B WORKER FOR AN ADMISSIONS AND RECRUITMENT JOB PAYING $110,250 A YEAR.
Read that again.
Not AI.
Not quantum computing.
Not some highly specialized engineering position.
ADMISSIONS AND RECRUITMENT.
According to a newly uncovered filing, UC Berkeley sought H-1B employment for an:
“Admissions/Recruitment Specialist 3”
Salary: $110,250
And this isn’t an isolated filing.
The report says USCIS data shows 1,069 H-1B beneficiaries approved for UC Berkeley since FY2020.
DOL data also reportedly shows Berkeley filed 216 LCAs in 2025 alone.
Those positions included:
Assistant field hockey coach.
Assistant tennis coach.
Academic coordinator.
Public engagement executive.
Academic program manager.
And now admissions and recruitment.
H-1B is supposed to help employers access specialized talent they cannot otherwise find.
So here’s a very simple question for UC Berkeley:
You couldn’t find an American qualified to recruit students for $110,250 a year?

Sorry, not sure why you are whining to us? Aren't you part of the pathetic losers who won't pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT? Not much a voter can do when our votes don't count. The election gets stolen and we get more and more spending and corruption. That's on you and your weak corrupt cohorts.
If a black college girl was dragged from her porch and beaten by a white mob, EVERY SINGLE MSM OUTLET would cover it.
When the reverse happens?
Total silence.
Sitting down?
All ruled against the duly elected POTUS on immigration…

The Judiciary is a disaster.
🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after an elderly man who stopped at Walmart after church, told a Black female employee she'd nearly hit his wife with a cart and never apologized...
...the teen called her PARENTS who then BEAT THE ELDERLY MAN TO DE*TH in front of his wife of 42 YEARS!!!!
Yes, you read that right.
He asked a teenager to say "excuse me" and the teens parents k*lled him for it.
His name was Bert Atienza. He was 77 years old.
He and his wife Josephine had been married for FORTY-TWO YEARS and on Sunday, June 7th, they went to church.
Then they stopped at the Walmart to do their grocery shopping.
Josephine says a 17-year-old Black female employee came through with a heavy cart and nearly slammed into her.
No "excuse me." No apology. Nothing.
So Bert did what husbands do, he spoke up for his wife.
In his wife's words, he told that girl: "You almost hit my wife with your heavy cart, and you did not even say excuse me or apologize to her."
Josephine says the teenager then THREW A CAN at them as they walked away. It missed.
The elderly couple, not wanting any trouble, just kept shopping.
Minutes later, that girl's PARENTS showed up at the store, found the 77-year-old man and beat him to de*th.
In his wife's words:
"They crowded my husband, one of the adults hit him in the face. He fell down on the floor. I was terrified. I don't know what's going on."
The Medical Examiner's ruling: blunt head trauma.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!
I am 69. My first election was in 1980 (Ronald Reagan) and I have always voted Republican.
I always thought the Repubicans were the good guys. After watching John Thune and his gang of Globalist Establishment RINOs for the past 2 yrs - I can tell you that the Republican Senators are NOT the good guys.
But I do recommend that we all vote Republican again in 2026. Because the Democrats have become even worse.
We will have 2yrs to make sure that real America First patriots are on the ballot in 2028 - but for now, the lesser of 2 evils is probably the right choice.
EXCLUSIVE: Judge Boasberg was a 9-time host for a CCP-founded program run by a Chinese spy front flagged for its efforts to compromise Americans.
SIX were during his FISA term—with access to top secret intelligence. 🧵
In a stunning political move, the chief judge of the Minneapolis federal bench disclosed the behind the scenes collaboration between all judges to thwart legal proceedings related to immigration cases this year.
Patrick Schiltz, who admitted his longtime involvement in a pro-migrant nonprofit, reveals how judges remained on their cell phones nonstop to halt deportation proceedings. And rather than evaluate each case individually—as is required—the judges developed pro forma orders (as I predicted) to immediately stop cases in their tracks.
This is something:
Schiltz: “Some judges built templates of legal orders so they could respond quickly to some of the detention issues that were arising again and again.”

The Senate will find 70 votes to send your money to Ukraine to be looted.
They can’t find 51 to pass election integrity laws here.
That’s not dysfunction.
That’s corruption.
