Having the 3rd highest corporate income tax rate in the nation, does not mean revenues will go up.

In fact, they are going down because businesses are fleeing Illinois.

[Paul Mauro @PaulDMauro]

Allow me to answer CBS: Yes. Ask any cop in NYC what the going rate is for fraudulent charges on an EBT charge.

Kayleigh McEnany calls out the mainstream media,

"Where was this outrage when 7 were killed in Chicago and another 38 injured?... Ten hours of coverage on the reflecting pool across five networks and virtually no coverage of gun violence in Chicago."

This problem is being swept under the rug by Pritzker.

We are losing about 4 companies per week to other states.

.@Giannoulias Show some responsibility for your DMV. Your reckless licensing policies have real consequences. Katie clearly wasn't among the victims you considered worth fighting for.

[Brian Costin @BrianCostin]

Can someone explain to me the tactics of these Chicago police officers? Why aren’t they doing anything?

Are we just allowing fight club in the streets now, with cops as passive referees for the fights?

Totally embarrassing for the city of Chicago.

The WNBA has been swallowing their whistles lately when it comes to calling fouls for Caitlin Clark

[GRANDPA’s FREE ADVICE @GOP_is_Gutless]

The whole world is watching — Caitlin Clark isn’t the only white woman in the RACIST WNBA dealing with this TACIST THUG behavior the league enables.

Another player is catching serious abuse simply for standing up for her teammates… and for Caitlin.

The WNBA’s tolerance for this garbage is disgusting. Clean it up or watch your league die.

Enough. 🇺🇸🏀

"The science is pretty clear that men don't have athletic advantage over women"

They just say meaningless words they think sound good.

Look at her face when she says it. She doesn't believe it. But for a reason I don't understand, this is the hill they've chosen to die on.

[Brian Costin @BrianCostin]

If Pritzker is doing such a good job and deserves reelection, why is Illinois doing so poorly compared to other states?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The hard truth is that USAID, with its constant support of often violent leftist regime change, caused a lot of death!

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Exactly! What purpose does a prison serve!? @NYCMayor, an avowed socialist and Muslim supremacist, thinks that we should do away with prisons. You elect him to be the mayor of NYC, 25 years after 9/11. You will regret your suicidal empathy.

[The Kash Inn @TJKashin]

Another longtime business fleeing Illinois:

After more than six decades anchoring the small town of Momence IL. , the Johnsonville Foods plant is shutting down immediately — throwing 274 hardworking families out of their jobs with zero warning.

The CEO delivered the devastating news in a surprise meeting while the mayor got just 15 minutes notice. Operations are moving to Wisconsin and Kansas, where the business climate actually makes sense.

Illinois’ crushing 9.5% corporate taxes, sky-high property taxes, and massive pension debt just claimed another victim.

[Reporter William J. Kelly #thatreporter @Williamjkelly]

Why is Steve Fanady really in jail? 1. Because he's a straight white male. 2. Because the poor starving Illinois divorce lawyer lobby demand to be paid and his[connected ex-wife of four years from seventeen years-ago has a multi-million dollar family trust that was set up not to pay legal fees. #thatreporter @Suntimes @CivilRights

I’ve been to Skid Row in Downtown LA many times. This was the most infuriating trip yet.

Newsom, Becerra, Bass: How can you sleep at night knowing this is happening on your watch?

[Brian Costin @BrianCostin]

The only reason why we are getting a toll increase is corruption and the CTA bailout.

@SpeakerWelchIL publicly admitted the reason for the toll increase was to placate the road building unions, from when Pritzker & Welch raided the downstate road fund to bailout Chicago’s CTA.

[Jen @IlliniJen]

Eleven pending juvenile cases and an ankle monitor didn’t stop this guy from robbing Subway.

Chicago’s ankle monitors are working great if the goal is letting career criminals commit new crimes while wearing one.

Nearly 1 in 12 defendants on electronic monitoring are missing, including hundreds charged with violent crimes. The same predators keep getting released to strike again.

Pritzker’s SAFE-T Act is once again working exactly as intended.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Cultures are not interchangeable entities nor are they equal on key foundational features. Some cultural values are universal (e.g., incest taboo) or near-universal (male preference for the hourglass figure) but many cultural values are perfectly incongruent with each other. If a heterosexual man were to court a lesbian, they might share many common values but they clash on one key issue: their respective sexual orientations. This clash makes their union impossible. The same principle applies to immigration policies in the West. Many immigrants possess cultural and religious values that are PERFECTLY antithetical to those of the West. Please, I implore you to wake up for the sake of our children and their children. Suicidal Empathy will destroy us.
