82 years ago today, Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy in one of the most consequential military operations in history.
We remember those who fought, those who fell, and the freedom they secured. 🇺🇸
Dick Durbin has been running for office since 1976 & has held one office or another in this state since 1982, longer than I’ve been alive. NO KINGS!! (Did I do it right?)
We can all agree that life hasn’t gotten better in this state, we all saw it get worse yet he was elected again & again & again & again. Now at 81 he figures he’s ruined the state enough, so he’ll retire, move to some place warm, collect his taxpayer funded pension & let Democrats prance him around a stage when/if necessary.
Christian McGhee was suspended from Central Davidson High School in Lexington, NC for using the term Illegal Alien in English class.
Just FYI... Illegal Alien is a longstanding U.S. legal terminology used in federal statutes
So his family sued the school board and WON!!
- $20,000
- Public apology
- Nothing on his record
OUR COUNTRY IS HEALING!!!!
🚨 NOW: Rep. Tim Burchett sounds the alarm that Senate GOP leadership might be PURPOSEFULLY SLOW-WALKING the SAVE America Act — waiting to pass it, or vote on it, when it can't be implemented in time
"Something like 80% approval. And yet you can't even get it to a vote in the Senate. I just don't buy it, folks."
"I've got a sneaking suspicion that they'll probably attempt to pass it or pass it so late in the dadgum game that it can't get implemented."
"And then they can go home and say, oh look, we passed it and everybody will be celebrating patting them on the back."
"Then it just cannot get implemented at the state and local level in time for it to have any effect in these elections."
"And ultimately, I think that's what you've got. And I'm afraid in the Senate leadership, they have such a hatred of Trump and the conservative movement."
"They want things to go back to the status quo, which is them being called from the golf course by the Democrats when it's time to make a vote!"
LET'S KEEP FIGHTING.
🚨 JUST IN: Outrage is erupting after nearly TWO DOZEN PEOPLE SHOT this Memorial Day weekend in Brandon Johnson's Chicago, including CHILDREN
5 POLICE officers were also STRUCK by a driver during a "teen takeover," and were hospitalized.
Yet ANOTHER reason why Pritzker and Johnson should be calling in President Trump!
Blue cities are a disaster.
Typical night in Chicago: Teens spraying a CPD vehicle with a fire extinguisher.
Another teen rides atop the CPD car.
Chicago does not have to live like this.
I think there’s a deep nostalgia and desperate craving for America is awesome movies, commercials and shows. It’s why I’ve been begging for a badass Lewis & Clark show for a decade now. Would immediately become the number one show in the country.
There were massive international protests over George Floyd and those police involved were severely punished with long prison sentences, yet the police responsible here did not even lose their jobs!
An incredibly unjust double-standard!
🚨 WOW! A European reporter just COMPLAINED about President Trump delaying troop deployments to Poland, and JD Vance hit back HARD
"The U.S. CANNOT be the policeman of the world... Europe HAS to stand on its own two feet." 🔥
"I think that if the European media wants to attack the president of the United States, they need to start looking in the mirror."
"I'm 41 years old. For my entire life, I have heard chirping from the European media about everything that's wrong with the United States of America.
'We don't have this. We don't have that. We don't spend enough on healthcare' — even though part of the reason why we spend so much on defense was because we have TENS OF THOUSANDS of troops in Europe!"
It's absolutely ABSURD that this man has represented Kentucky in the U.S. Senate since January 3rd, 1985.
41 years.
...it will be the first time in over 41 YEARS that Kentucky will not be represented by this man in the Senate.
We need term limits so badly.
JB HATES this video because it’s TRUE.
(And funny)
**Fact check on the video's claims:**
- **Gas taxes:** Yes. Pritzker signed the 2019 Rebuild Illinois bill doubling the state gas tax (19¢ to 38¢/gallon) with automatic inflation hikes. It's now ~49.6¢ and rising July 1.
- **Property taxes:** Yes. They've risen ~27% under his watch (2018–2024), though he blames local school boards.
- **Hyatt Regency McCormick Place:** Yes. The publicly owned hotel (Hyatt-operated, Pritzker family ties) has received over $180M in taxpayer-funded upgrades via MPEA, where Pritzker appoints nearly half the board.
- **Bahamas investments:** True historically. Reporting showed Pritzker interests in multiple Bahamas trusts for tax planning (legal structures criticized as avoidance).
- **Is he a runner?** The ad's caricature runs with a "tax dollars" bag for satire. Pritzker isn't known as an athlete/runner.
The ad uses strong visuals to criticize tax policy and family business links. Both sides spin the context.
