@EndWokeness Use this case to justify voter ID, limits on mail in ballots and election day votes or received ballots. Currently blank ballots are collected and after election they identify who did not vote and late ballots are backdated and cast. Most Americans want fair, secure elections.

@Suntimes The Chicago High School admissions test should be longer than the current 1 hour test (30 min math & reading). A more rigorous understanding of a student's capabilities will provide a better placement in appropriate classes for each student.

@NEWSMAX I might start watching it again.

@ScottJenningsKY Did you know that if Chicago alone was not included in the total Illinois 2024 election tabulation Trump would have won Illinois? And hundreds of mail in ballots were cast by "someone" even though the Chicago voter had moved out of state? And people say no fraud exists?

@smerconish Stepped Up Basis needs to change. Inflation adjusted gains should be taxed upon death, reducing the tax-free wealth transfer.

[Richard Winter @RichardRWinter]

@WSJ Surprising how many are more concerned about the death of the drug traffickers than the thousands of Americans their drugs have been killing. Those drug runners knew the risks they were taking, and should have made better decisions for themselves.

🚨BREAKING: An ENTIRE job sight in Charlotte is VACANT after ICE raided the city.

This is why the economy is COLLAPSING.

@FoxNews How did we get to where people expect the government to feed them? I can understand temporary support in certain situations, but shouldn't we all be responsible for supporting ourselves? Don't encourage people to be dependent on others. Free them to be self-sufficient.

[Richard Winter @RichardRWinter]

@NEWSMAX @SenJoniErnst @CSalcedoShow I'm pretty sure we would have spent that money anyway and still have nothing to show for it.

[Richard Winter @RichardRWinter]

@MarcoFoster_ @GovPritzker Thousands of votes were cast on behalf of voters that moved, but still had Vote By Mail mail sent to their previous home. The Governor does not care about election integrity, only getting elected. If you remove Chicago votes from the 2024 election, Trump would have won Illinois.

[Richard Winter @RichardRWinter]

I've supported most of Trump's policies, but not a fan of his bluster and name calling. But it is time to focus the ICE mission to deport criminal immigrants or those that interfere with efforts. Self-sufficient, law-abiding immigrants here 5+ years deserve a path to citizenship.

[Richard Winter @RichardRWinter]

@libsoftiktok I was impressed with the press conference where Pritzker and others placed blame on the crime in Chicago on the Trump administration. Nevermind the restrictions they place in the police or the SAFE-T act that keeps releasing criminals. It was not a good impression.

[Richard Winter @RichardRWinter]

@WallStreetMav As an Illinois resident, this is really a bad idea. Tell children they may have mental issues and they will start to believe it. Who will perform the exams? At what cost? What is the next step? While we have had some great teachers, many others need to be examined themselves.

To those fleeing Texas Democrats that say that they are saving democracy in Texas and the United States relative to congressional redistricting, here are the facts:

MA: 36% Republican, 0 seats
CT: 42% Republican, 0 seats
ME: 46% Republican, 0 seats
NM: 46% Republican, 0 seats
NH: 48% Republican, 0 seats
RI: 42% Republican, 0 seats
VT: 32% Republican, 0 seats
HI: 38% Republican, 0 seats
DE: 42% Republican, 0 seats

Also, as to some of the blue states that were benevolent enough to give us a smidgen:

CA: 38% Republican, only 9 of 52 seats (20.9%)
IL: 44% Republican, only 3 of 17 seats (17.6%)
NY: 43% Republican, only 7 of 26 seats (26.9%)
MD: 34% Republican, only 1 of 8 seats (12.5%)
NJ: 46% Republican, only 3 of 12 seats (25%)
OR: 41% Republican, only 1 of 6 seats (16.7%)

Why is it that if Republicans do redistricting, it’s a threat to democracy. Yet, if Democrats do redistricting, it’s democracy itself.

[Richard Winter @RichardRWinter]

@TheLeoTerrell I agree that any immigrant here 5+ years with no criminal record and self sufficient should have a path to citizenship after 5 more years of lawabiding and productive contributions to our country. Hard-line deporting strategies are cold, if not hateful. Give them a chance.

[Richard Winter @RichardRWinter]

@FoxNews @realDonaldTrump @AGPamBondi @BarackObama @HillaryClinton @JoeBiden Even though Epstein may have been a criminal himself, if there is no clear evidence of wrongdoing by any visitors to his island then releasing those names would be unfairly implicating them as criminals. It is time to move on from this and focus the DOJ on bigger issues.

[Richard Winter @RichardRWinter]

@WallStreetMav The MSM will have a feeding frenzy over speculation like this. We don't need division within the administration. Leaders need to come to an agreement on the best path forward and clearly explain the reasoning.

[Richard Winter @RichardRWinter]

@WallStreetMav The majority of Americans support reporting criminals, but hard-working immigrants that have been here 5+ years with no criminal record and self-sufficient should have a path to citizenship if they aspire for it. Republicans should initiate a solution to the benefit of all.

[Richard Winter @RichardRWinter]

@WallStreetMav The three of them should work out their differences in private, then explain publicly the reasoning for the direction they are taking. Sharing individual frustrations publicly or through "sources" does not help anyone except main stream media seeking to create division.
