Because the MSM is complicit in the coverup, that is why.
They told you to trust the "experts" who were actually lying because there was too much money at stake.
From Big Pharma, to the hospitals, to doctors pushing the "vaccine" to the labs running PCR tests to the news anchors who drank the government's Kool-Aid and served it up with plate of propaganda without question.
It was hard to stand firm in what I believed. It cost me friends and family. My morals and dignity were never for sale.
Chicago lost the Bears this week. A team that's been in the city since 1921.
They didn't lose them to a bigger market or a better deal. The Bears decided they'd rather be a tenant in Indiana than deal with Illinois for one more year.
Think about how badly you have to run a place for that to be the smart move.
They lost them for two reasons.
The people running Illinois would rather villainize a builder than keep one. And they're bad at their jobs.
In 2021 the Bears spent $197M on the old Arlington Park racetrack.
Before they could break ground, Cook County valued the empty lot at $192M (Bears said $60M). They were salivating at the chance to extort a building that didn't even exist yet.
That fight dragged on for years.
The Bears were ready to put $2B into the stadium. All they wanted was a promise the county wouldn't reassess them into oblivion, plus $855M for infrastructure everyone uses. Roads, transit, utilities. A $3B project, two thirds of it private money pouring into Illinois.
Springfield had since 2021 to get this done. They dragged it to the final night of session, passed it through the Senate at 3:39AM, and the House went home without voting.
So now it's all gone.
The funniest part? This started because Cook County tried to grab the tax early. They knew a built stadium would pay $53M a year. Now they get under $4M on a vacant lot. No jobs, no buildout, no new anything.
Congrats on fighting for scraps and losing the whole prize.
Pritzker: they're "an $8.5B valued business" that doesn't need propping up.
But be smart for a second. Almost every NFL city throws in public money for a stadium. Not charity. The return is real. Tourism, hotels, restaurants, jobs, game days, property tax on a huge development. The math works.
Indiana did the math. While Illinois sat on it for years, Indiana passed a bill in months, put up $1B, and took the team.
And the Bears took a worse deal to get there. In Illinois they were going to own their stadium. In Indiana they rent it from the state. A team that wanted to build its own home gave up ownership just to escape Chicago.
Nobody won but Indiana. The Bears lost their stadium. Illinois lost the team, the $2B, and $53M a year in taxes.
Pritzker after they left: "I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team."
There it is. "Billionaire-owned."
That's how Democrats talk about any business right before they run it out of town. Call them a billionaire, act like you're saving working families, take a victory lap while the tax base drives across the state line.
Meanwhile they're running the whole state into the ground. And you already know how this ends. You're living in it.
Pensions are $143B in the hole, worst in the country and not close. You pay $6,285 a year in property taxes, double the $2,969 national average, for a city that's $1.15B in the red. The mayor called its finances "the point of no return."
When you run things this badly, you sell what's left.
They leased the parking meters for 75 years to Morgan Stanley and a sovereign wealth fund in Abu Dhabi. Took $1.15B and burned through it in two years. The investors already made it all back, with 58 years left to collect.
Sold the Skyway. Sold the downtown garages. Every asset that made money, gone for one check.
But a fixed property tax rate for a team that's been here 106 years? That's "propping up billionaires."
Companies are leaving. Boeing for Virginia. Caterpillar for Texas. Citadel for Miami. In 2023 alone Illinois lost 56,000 people and $6B in income to other states. The ones who left earned a third more than the ones who moved in.
Indiana didn't outbid anyone. AAA credit, 16 years straight. A $676M surplus. Fourth-lowest debt per person in the country. They just weren't a disaster.
Illinois could have collected $53M a year. It chose zero. Ignore all the bad management but make sure to stick it to those evil, pesky billionaires.
🔥 HOLY SMOKES: RFK Jr. just DROPPED THE MIC on smug career Democrat Senator Ron Wyden.
Wyden kept attacking Kennedy during his Senate hearing….until Bobby UNLOADED with both barrels.
“Senator, you’ve sat in that chair for how long? 20, 25 years? While the chronic disease in our children went up to 76%!”
“And you said NOTHING!”
“You NEVER asked the question why it’s happening! Why is this happening?”
“Today, for the first time in 20 years, we learned that infant mortality has increased in our country. It’s not because I came in here.”
“It’s because of what happened during the Biden administration that we’re going to END!”

Dr. Peter McCullough Calls On Trump to REPEAL the 1986 Vaccine Injury Act
This would strip Big Pharma of its liability shield, making them accountable for injuries caused by their products.
“Americans deserve safe vaccines. And when they are applied, the company should stand behind their products, and they should have this liability shield removed,” @P_McCulloughMD said.
Dr. McCullough also urged president-elect Trump to pull the COVID jabs off the market.
“They have not had the safety track record America wanted to see. And sadly, so many have suffered injuries, disabilities, and even death.”
