$4.59 at this Illinois Mobil.
Indiana is $3.59. Texas is $3.60. Most of the South is under $3.80.
Pritzker doubled the gas tax years ago and locked Illinois into permanent high prices. The only “relief” was pausing a tiny automatic hike until after the election.
National average is $4.09. The extra 50¢ is pure Springfield.
Blame Trump all you want. The surcharge is still Pritzker’s.
@ABC7Chicago Boy this is news? How about all the people shot in Chicago this weekend? What about JB raising our sales tax? What about our state has the highest property taxes around? And for what? What about the tolls roads? Raising tolls again? Now those are stories. Do you job!
Today, I’ve made one of the biggest decisions of my life. I'm stepping down as CEO of MyPillow so I can devote 100% of my time and energy to my campaign for Governor of Minnesota.
Minnesota deserves my full attention, and that's exactly what I'm giving it. I'm all in, and I can't wait to earn your vote.

Rudy Giuliani Believes Democrats CHEATED In The Election of Mamdani as NY Mayor After BOMBSHELL Audit Finds 228K FRAUDULENT Votes
Of the 1 million votes cast in the election:
-7% were from nonexistent records
-6% had fake Social Security Numbers
-10% do not live in New York
-1% had no Social Security Number at all
That totals 228,000 votes.
Mamdani's margin of victory was 207,570.
How convenient.
"Do I think the Democratic Party cheated in this election? The answer to that is a resounding yes.”
“They are the most crooked enterprise in the history of the United States"
An immigration attorney in Illinois caught in a fraud operation making tens of thousands of foreigners eligible for citizenship who were ineligible
With the money she bought
- A pink private jet
- $3 million dollar condo in Chicago
- $3.2 million luxury condo in Seattle
- Properties in Mexico
- Multiple other home purchases
“Calling herself the miracle lawyer, when in fact she was charging some vulnerable clients tens of thousands of dollars to file falsified immigration papers under the Violence Against Women Act, or alleging her clients were victims of human trafficking regardless of whether they qualified for that relief according to the complaint”
She was telling foreigners to claim they were victims of human trafficking and violence so they could get asylum and citizenship in America
The numbers are actually higher than what’s being reported
She had as many as 35,000 clients and around 54,000 pending petitions with her signature
Clients were allegedly charged high fees of $10,000–$25,000 per case, sometimes more
She had an estimated up to $400 million in promised payments from clients
Illinois refuses to cooperate with the Trump Administration while fraud runs rampant across taxpayer-funded programs.
- Medicaid fraud.
- SNAP fraud.
- Voter fraud.
- Education fraud.
Follow the law, protect Illinois taxpayers, or lose federal funding.
TEXT @SenRandPaul FAUCI CONTEMPT RESOLUTION
- Fauci Waved Fifth Amendment Right With Opening Statement
- Terms of Biden Preemptive, Unconditional Pardon Required Fauci's Testimony
- Fauci Warned He Faced Contempt For Refusing Congressional Testimony
Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee vote Thursday August 6th
The decision to make a narrowly tailored opening statement may be a critical error that partially waives Fauci’s Fifth Amendment privilege.
There is precedent under the Lois Lerner IRS controversy.
@C__Herridge subscribers had the full analysis in Sunday's @X Article.
Consider subscribing and supporting independent journalism!
NOTE: Earlier post had correct day, but wrong date. I have corrected it here. Apologies.
Why did a private citizen with no official public health role get security clearance to sit in on government pandemic discussions? Bill Gates helped shape COVID policy, and Americans never got to vote on it.
@SenatorCollins Let’s be honest, you did not even write this. You’re a Dem and that’s all I have to say. How long have you been in office? 100 years! Term limits are needed to keep hacks like you out of office.
@ABC7Chicago A waste of our taxes to defend this. If you have nothing to hide just give them to the Feds. You look guilty by fighting it and costing us money. Dumb!! A waste of a story!!
Read this Fauci diary entry closely. Officials refused to admit the vaccine wasn’t stopping the spread because it might weaken the legal case for mandates. That is not science. It is a cover-up to justify coercion.
🚨 CHICAGO, YOU JUST GOT ANOTHER TAX INCREASE.
Who raised your taxes?
It wasn’t Washington.
The Illinois General Assembly passed the legislation, and Governor J.B. Pritzker signed it into law.
Beginning August 1, 2026, Chicago’s combined sales tax increased to 10.50%. The additional 0.25% is intended to help fund regional public transit, including the CTA, Metra, and Pace.
For years, taxpayers have contributed billions of dollars to public transit through fares, sales taxes, state funding, and federal funding. Yet many residents continue to ask where the measurable improvements are.
Earlier this year, a Cook County judge also ruled that approximately $243 million in transportation-related funds had been improperly diverted from their constitutionally dedicated purpose.
Taxpayers deserve transparency, accountability, and results..not just another tax increase.
Know who raised your taxes. Know where your money is going.

I understand how Elon Musk built his fortune.
What I still don’t understand is how Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Nancy Pelosi became millionaires on a salary of ~ $175,000 a year.
