At this point, I am sorry but I have to say it ; Illinoians who keep voting for this insanity are pretty dumb❗️✅

Want to stop “teen” takeovers?

Declare a curfew. Announce that anyone who shows up for a planned takeover will be arrested. Then enforce it.

A city that refuses to impose consequences is a city that invites chaos.

Choose order.

The judge who ordered Trump's name stripped from the Kennedy Center married his wife in a ceremony officiated by Merrick Garland.

That wife, Amy Jeffress, represented Lisa Page during the FBI texting scandal, helped the Jan. 6 committee, and now serves as Joe Biden's personal attorney. Her former law firm represented E. Jean Carroll against Trump.

Trump says Judge Christopher Cooper has 'a total Conflict of Interest' and asserts he can't be treated fairly in Cooper's court.

Everyday, the left finds new ways to demean women and our biological uniqueness.

Dems in NY just replaced “mother” with “gestating parent” in state law.

The only thing worse was when Gov. Evers called us “inseminated persons.” That still takes the cake.

This is what elite narcissism looks like: rules for you, excuses for them, outrage when consequences arrive. Follow the account for more insight.

Illinois ranks dead last in jobs growth among big states under Pritzker.

Even as he touts economic momentum and new investments, only 9,400 private sector jobs have been added since 2019 for 0.75% total growth. Neighbors grew 2.5%.
Government added 36,600 jobs with your tax dollars, while professional services lost over 50,000 positions.

This is what @JBPritzker calls “success.”

What a fearmongering little wimp. Be strong dude. Be brave if you can find it in your arrogant self-important self.

The RTA just raised sales taxes across Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties.

Starting Aug. 1, maximum combined state and local sales tax rates could reach:

Cook: 12.25%
Kane: 11.25%
DuPage: 11.00%
Will: 10.50%
Lake: 10.25%
McHenry: 8.75%

This hits everyday purchases: groceries, restaurant meals, prepared food, household goods, clothing, appliances, school supplies, and more.

They claimed transit had a roughly $200M hole. So Springfield handed them a $1.5B bailout and let the RTA raise taxes anyway.

That’s not fiscal responsibility.

That’s tax hikes for the heck of it.

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.

Comrade, this is a brilliant move.

AI is one of the few technologies that could create enormous new wealth and raise living standards dramatically.

By putting the state in control now, we can make sure that potential is never fully realized.

A population that becomes too prosperous becomes difficult to manage.

Better to keep the future contained and dependent.

The 5 year plan is perfect. ☭

@BernieSanders Take. Take. Take. All you’ve done for your whole life. No wonder you don’t understand creativity and profit. Or capitalism. 🫩

[timothy stegeman @TraderTimBiz]

@GovPritzker And the unfunded pension liability? Hmmm? Kind of quiet on that. 🫩

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

The audacity of Alexi Giannoulias talking about safety is infuriating!

My daughter Katie was killed by someone who never should have been on Illinois roads in the first place but was given a valid Illinois drivers license.

Is that your idea of safety Secretary Giannoulias?

Katie was sacrificed to reckless policies and political ideology defended by J. B. Pritzker and Alexi Giannoulias.

[Jeff Orr @JeffO773]

Base pay for IL legislators in 2019: $67,836
Base pay in the brand new budget: $101,450

That’s a 49.5% raise they just handed themselves. We foot the bill while they cash in. Unbelievable.

We don't need 177 lawmakers at this price point. Consolidate the districts, slash the headcount, and move to a smaller body.

[timothy stegeman @TraderTimBiz]

@BlockClubCHI That’s fine. Trump still towers over him. 🤣

[timothy stegeman @TraderTimBiz]

@nickroberts317 Yup. I miss Reagan too.

[timothy stegeman @TraderTimBiz]

@GovPritzker My gosh you lie so easily. 🙄

[Thomas Johnson @JohnsonTho18495]

@LtGovStratton $144 BILLION in unfunded pension liabilities!!! What the hell are you celebrating?!?!?!
