The day after the WOKE WNBA gave that angry, white, liberal, lesbian, Cheryl Reeve, the Coach of the Year award, her number one seed team got swept out of the playoffs by a number eight seed tonight! 🤣

God I love Karma!

If the Chicago Tribune had any credibility left, it is completely gone after this editorial.

They ask if there are any good Republican candidates when they should be asking instead are there any honest and competent Democrats.

At every level Democrats have pursued higher taxes and policies that take away individual rights, including parenting rights and property rights.

The school boards controlled by Leftists have burdened homeowners and indoctrinated kids while failing to educate the majority of them.

Cities like Harvey and Rockford are bankrupt. Ford Heights and Dolton are scandal-ridden entities.

Pritzker has added billions in new taxes and private sector job creation is diminimis as people and businesses flee the state.

Christian Maxwell, running for CD1 is a far better choice than the Jackson who is trading on a family name.

Don Tracy is a serious businessman and eminently more qualified than dance-off competitor Stratton.

And there are so many more better qualified Republicans for state and local office than Democrats running.

The entire editorial board is a disgrace.

JB Pritzker hasn't made Illinois affordable—he’s made basic daily life a luxury.

You don't award a record like this with another term.

Fire him.

[Chez Chardé @ChezCharde]

Lindsay Clancy actually killed her 3 kids

A Black juror didn't kill anyone

Guess which one White Liberals have demonized more?

This is what blatant racism looks like when it wears a liberal mask

[Adam Carolla @adamcarolla]

Come on man

[Spitfire @RealSpitfire]

This is one of the most beautiful community notes I’ve ever seen.

@RepAOC nailed for one of her blatant lies.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

JB Pritzker flew to Texas to rail against the ultra-wealthy.

This guy is worth $4.2 billion and had the toilets ripped out of his mansion to score $330,000 in property tax breaks.

JB isn’t fighting billionaires who game the system.

He is one.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

Since Pritzker took office:

⛽ GAS TAX +154%
🚗 REGISTRATION +50%
🛣️ TOLLS +60%

And this guy has the NERVE to campaign on affordability?

JB PRITZKER IS THE REASON ILLINOIS IS UNAFFORDABLE.

[Rep. Jim Jordan @Jim_Jordan]

3 killed.

41 shot.

Deadly weekend in Democrat-run
Chicago.

I think that Trump renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America is pointless and stupid.

Wanna know what else I think is dumb?

The fact left-wingers are triggered about this after they spent the last decade plus renaming sports teams, public schools and universities, streets and highways, food and condiment brands, and redefining half the dictionary altogether.

Here’s a list of some in case you forgot:

• Washington Redskins ➡️ Commanders

• Cleveland Indians ➡️ Guardians

• Stanford Indians ➡️ Cardinals

• Loudoun County Raiders ➡️ Captains

• Edmonton Eskimos ➡️ Elks

• Columbus Day ➡️ Indigenous Peoples’ Day

• Lee–Jackson Day ➡️ eliminated

• Robert E. Lee High School ➡️ John Lewis High

• Jefferson Davis Highway ➡️ Richmond Highway

• Mount McKinley ➡️ Denali

• Fort Bragg ➡️ Fort Liberty

• Fort Hood ➡️ Fort Cavazos

• Boy Scouts of America ➡️ Scouting America

• Aunt Jemima ➡️ Pearl Milling Company

• Uncle Ben’s Rice ➡️ Ben’s Original

• Eskimo Pie ice cream bars ➡️ Edy’s Pie

• Land O’Lakes ➡️ removed the Indian, but kept the land

• Illegal alien ➡️ undocumented worker

• Hispanic ➡️ Latinx (a term Hispanics did not want and do not use)

• Mother ➡️ birthing person

• Anchor baby ➡️ child of noncitizens

• black ➡️ Black

• Breastfeeding ➡️ chest feeding

• Inmate / prisoner / convict / felon ➡️ justice-involved person

• Ex-con / ex-felon ➡️ returning citizen

• “Gender” as a biological fact interchangeable with “sex” to being a social construct

• Fat ➡️ plus-sized

• Master bedroom ➡️ primary bedroom

• Manhole ➡️ utility hole

And so on and so on. . .

[Libs Of Chicago @Libs_OfChicago]

If you weren’t upset about Biden renaming things, calm down about Trump.

Renamed Under Biden: Total Cost $70M+

•Fort Bragg to Fort Liberty
•Fort Benning to Fort Moore
•Fort Hood to Fort Cavazos
•Fort Lee to Fort Gree-Adams
•Fort Gordon to Fort Eisenhower
•Fort Picket to Fort Barfoot
•Fort A.P. Hill to Fort Walker
•Fort Polk to Fort Johnson
•Fort Rucker to Fort Novosel
•643 valleys, peaks, streams & reservoirs

Obama also renamed a mountain!!!

Liberals were perfectly fine with all of this.
Actually everyone was, we all had more important things going on in our lives.

[Defiant L’s @DefiantLs]

Bill Maher: “Trump is so mad at Canada, he renamed Lake Ontario Lake America… Liberals are very pissed at this. They say you can’t just go around renaming to suit your political agenda. Just ask any Latinx birthing person.” 🤣

Not only that, which is by far the most ridiculous thing, they have also renamed brands, sport teams, buildings to suit their agenda but they are mad at Lake America

[Jeanne Ives @JeanneIves]

How does he say any of this with a straight face?
Recalls of food product happen all the time. Are we to blame Obama for Ebola, swine flu, H1N1, SARS, and Zika outbreaks? Measles outbreak likely originated as a result of illegals coming in unvaccinated. ICE job made much more difficult from the number of illegals Democrats let flood in and the fact that IL is a sanctuary state. And if you want to call out unqualified law enforcement, then how did the system you, Gov. Pritzker had control over, allow Sonya Massey's cop killer Sean Grayson to get moved around when he obviously had issues?

[Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow]

Obama and Biden changed names on forts, ships, mountains. They changed nouns and pronouns. But Trump changes names to promote America and these same people lose what’s left of their minds.

[Greg Price @greg_price11]

Two days ago, Josh Shapiro rushed to a camera to announce two "measles-associated" deaths in Pennsylvania for the first time in 30 years.

He provided no other information other than two people died, they were unvaccinated, and that it was RFK Jr's fault for spreading misinformation.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health has now admitted in a statement to Politico that one of the two people was a newborn infant who didn't actually die of the disease itself.

Babies also don't get vaccinated for measles until they are at least 1 year old.

Shapiro and the Pennsylvania Department of Health lied and this is why the credibility of public health authorities is likely never going to recover.

[Catturd ™ @catturd2]

Great news.

[DuPage GOP @DuPageCountyGOP]

Trump, Trump, Trump

Trump has absolutely nothing to do with Illinois’ endless - Democrat created - messes. Yet Trump is all Pritzker ever talks about. Anything to distract from Pritzker’s miserable record and lack of accomplishments. Eight years in and where is Illinois - last in everything!

[Adam Carolla @adamcarolla]

True

[Brian Costin @BrianCostin]

BREAKING: Illinois has had the worst credit rating in the nation for 13 consecutive years. This is the longest streak in American History.

This is despite 63 Pritzker tax hikes totaling $70B+ in revenue, and more than $30B in COVID bailouts.

Our Pension Debt is about $10B more than when Pritzker took office.
