In the last 45 years, only TWO presidents put America First.

The GOATS… Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 NOW: President Trump says Ilhan Omar MUST be thrown out of America ASAP for fraud

"She honestly, she should be thrown out of the country. She's corrupt. And most of the people that came in are corrupt!"

"Somalia. All these people came in for Somalia. They ripped off our system! You have the woman who married her brother. She came in and married her brother. Isn't that wonderful? And then she talks about the Constitution of the United States."

"She comes from Somalia. They don't have constitutions in Somalia. They don't have police."

"They don't have all of his people that run around shooting each other. And then she comes and tells us how to run our country. I don't like it!"

"These people don't like it. I can tell you. I think I can speak. She comes in. Ilhan Omar. She comes in."

"She tells us how to run the United States of America. And she comes from a place without anything, without anything. Probably among the worst countries in the world!"

"And she says, the Constitution of the United States protects me."

"And the whole voting system is corrupt in Minnesota. I won Minnesota three times easily. I won almost every county. But they didn't give it to me. It's a corrupt system. Very corrupt state. The governor is terrible."

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

Americans were told for four years that these policies were "compassion" and that there were no meaningful downsides or tradeoffs.

President Biden, Vice President Harris, Secretary Mayorkas, and Governor Pritzker all sold that narrative.

Meanwhile, my daughter Katie is in a grave, and our family is serving a life sentence of grief.

.@TheJusticeDept The American people deserve a full accounting and investagation of what these policies cost and the characters that lied to us, including Illinois sanctuary policies and politicians.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 NOW: In an incredible moment, Sec. Marco Rubio just sat down to SIGN a UFC agreement with Dana White that uses professional fighting to advance diplomacy

Marco and Trump love UFC! 🔥

DANA WHITE: "What’s been fascinating in our run over the last 25 years is how when we go to one of these different countries, presidents of the countries or royal families from these different countries. everybody loves the fights."

"the entire country rallies around them, and it’s a pretty powerful thing."

STATE DEPT: "The MOU signing will mark a new public-private partnership to enhance sports diplomacy initiatives and collaborate on the global growth of mixed martial arts."

.@SenatorDurbin My daughter Katie is in the grave due to policies you supported and defended.

When you had an opportunity to show compassion to our family, there was none.

Your moral compass seems to point in only one direction, toward causes that fit your politics.
This is not principled. No wisdom in what you do.

Is that your definition of compassion

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

The Daily Script (Longer post but please read):

“Katie was killed by an illegal immigrant...but Texas buses...”

That has become the standard political deflection in Illinois.

My daughter Katie was killed by an illegal immigrant, yet instead of discussing enforcement failures, sanctuary policies, deterrence, and the incentives that fueled illegal immigration, Governor Pritzker points to buses from Texas and Florida.

The problem with that argument is simple:
Illinois already had hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants before the first bus ever arrived.

The buses did not create Illinois' sanctuary policies.
The buses did not weaken enforcement.
The buses did not normalize illegal immigration.
The buses did not create the political culture that treated warnings about public safety as unacceptable.

The buses did not create the environment that allowed preventable tragedies like Katie's death.

Governor Pritzker spent years portraying Illinois as one of the most welcoming states in the nation. But "welcoming" became a political slogan used to justify policies that enticed, incentivized, and protected unlawful behavior while avoiding serious discussions about enforcement, accountability, deterrence, vetting, and public safety.

There was no meaningful audit of the risks.
No serious examination of the long-term consequences.
No willingness to ask whether the policies being promoted were creating incentives that would attract more illegal immigration.
No effort to honestly weigh the costs against the benefits.
Instead, Illinois was asked to simply trust that these policies were compassionate, while anyone raising concerns was portrayed as lacking compassion themselves.

But compassion without wisdom is not compassion. It is recklessness.

The result was a system that increasingly prioritized political messaging over practical governance.

Concerns about public safety were dismissed. Questions about enforcement were treated as inconvenient.
Warnings about consequences were ignored.

Meanwhile, the state continued down a path that encouraged lawlessness while providing few meaningful mechanisms to assess who was entering, whether laws were being followed, or what risks were being created for Illinois families.

Now, after years of promoting Illinois as a destination and defending policies that reduced deterrence, Governor Pritzker wants to portray Illinois as a helpless victim of decisions made elsewhere. He wants residents to believe that buses from Texas and Florida created a problem that Illinois leadership had little role in shaping.
That is not a serious argument.

Leaders do not get to spend years encouraging, defending, normalizing, and protecting policies and then suddenly claim they are innocent bystanders when predictable consequences emerge.

Governor Pritzker owns the praise he receives from supporters of these policies. He also owns the criticism that comes with them.

That is how leadership works.

If he truly believes these policies are wise, compassionate, and beneficial, then he should have the courage to explain their value honestly and persuade the people of Illinois why the risks, costs, and consequences are worth accepting.
He should explain why the incentives created were justified. He should explain why enforcement concerns were dismissed. He should explain why public safety risks were acceptable. He should explain why Illinois was right to move in this direction.

But that conversation rarely happens.

Instead, when consequences become visible, the response is almost always the same.

Texas is blamed.
Florida is blamed.
The federal government is blamed.
Political opponents are blamed.

Anyone and everyone is blamed except the people who spent years promoting, defending, and expanding the policies themselves.

At some point, the buck must stop at the governor's desk.

Increasingly, it feels as though there are only two governing instincts in Springfield: raise taxes and blame someone else.
When programs fail, someone else is responsible.
When costs rise, someone else is responsible.
When policy consequences emerge, someone else is responsible.

Responsibility is always assigned outward, never inward.

That is what makes these press conferences so staggering to watch.
Governor Pritzker speaks as though Illinois is merely a passive observer of forces beyond its control rather than an active participant in creating the incentives, policies, and political environment that helped shape today's reality.

Leadership requires more than claiming credit when policies are celebrated and finding scapegoats when they are criticized.
Leadership requires wisdom.
It requires humility.
It requires the willingness to reassess assumptions when evidence suggests harm is being created.
It requires honest evaluation of outcomes, not endless repetition of talking points.

Instead, Illinois increasingly feels rudderless, governed by leaders who seem incapable of questioning their own assumptions and unwilling to acknowledge the costs of their own decisions.

The answer to every challenge appears to be more spending, higher taxes, and more blame directed elsewhere.
The policies are never questioned.
The assumptions are never challenged.
The consequences are never owned.

Katie and Illinois deserve better than excuses.
My family deserved better than excuses.

The people of Illinois deserve better than leaders who spend years inviting, incentivizing, and defending policies that increase risk, only to claim they are powerless observers when those risks become reality.

Governor Pritzker wants credit for being welcoming.
He wants credit for compassion.
He wants credit for standing on the right side of history.
But leadership is not measured by intentions, slogans, press conferences, or political branding.

Leadership is measured by consequences.

And leaders who helped create an environment that attracted, incentivized, and protected unlawful behavior cannot simply wash their hands of responsibility when Illinois families bear the cost.

Katie deserved better.
Illinois deserves better.

And "Texas buses" is not an answer.

Murderous migrants beheading innocent people in their home town is what’s making people angry, not “social media”!

[Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84]

@elonmusk Yea. It's definitely being beheaded that is making people mad. Self-preservation.

What makes us mad on social media is that our governments keep continuing to let in third-world invaders who commit crimes and refuse to deport them. Or hold them accountable.

💥NEW: Jillian Michaels: “I gotta be honest: it seems to me that Trump is the ONLY one standing between US and the COMPLETE loss of free and fair elections.”

“You know, I used to think that Trump was INSANE for suggesting that the 2020 election was stolen. And now, I’m just — I’m actually not so sure.”

“Because these ANIMALS in California are not just changing election law — they’re changing what elections actually ARE!”

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

.@senduckworth where was this outrage from 2021–2025?

Principle doesn't change with the political winds.
Where was this concern for families like mine?

My daughter Katie was killed during the very years you defended these policies.
Even after we met in the Senate building, we're still waiting for meaningful acknowledgment of her story.

Or is there simply no room for Katie in your selective compassion?

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

I’m confused. Am I or are we supposed to feel sympathy for employers who knowingly take advantage of illegal labor, turn their backs on American workers, and help create the chaotic environment encouraged by self-serving politicians and employers alike?

Meanwhile, my daughter Katie is in the grave because an intoxicated illegal immigrant, someone enticed to enter this country illegally despite a troubling background and serious health issues, was allowed to remain here until two young women lost their lives.

Ordinary Americans are the ones paying the price for this recklessness.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

California made it illegal for any election in the state to require ID. This is nuts.

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

This is what I’ve been saying: we have a governor who acts helpless in the face of the consequences of his own policies, while portraying Illinois as powerless against every outside pressure or shifting influence.

The circumstances around Katie death should have forced reflection and accountability. Instead, there’s been a stunning lack of acknowledgment, empathy, or seriousness about how these policies impact real Illinois families.

This is a complete failure of leadership and governance. He is a complete fraud and is clearly not up to this job in any way.

It’s shocking to me that any ordinary citizen would continue supporting this recklessness and such an ineffectual “leader.”

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

Illinois has lost the wisdom to govern.

When ideology replaces judgment, ordinary citizens bear the consequences. My latest piece examines how political loyalty, institutional failure, and reckless policymaking helped create the conditions that led to my daughter Katie’s death — and why accountability still matters.

BREAKING: Marco Rubio just said the quiet part out loud.

Americans work 40+ years…

Pay taxes.
Follow the rules.
Build the country.

Then retire on $800, $900, maybe $1,000 a month.

Meanwhile, new arrivals can allegedly receive more support from the same system they never paid into.

Read that again.

The people who built America are being pushed to the back of the line.

This is not compassion.
This is a government priority problem.
America First was never just a slogan.
It was a warning.

Who comes first?

The taxpayer… or the system?

UPDATE on State Senator Chapin Rose’s SB4196 after the Illinois spring session:

In the supermajority’s “wisdom,” they didn’t even bother bringing it up for a vote.

Not debate it.
Not amend it.
Not allow the public to hear it.
Just bury it.

That’s reckless.

And let’s be clear: there is still time for the supermajority to advance this bill at any moment if they choose to.
They simply are choosing not to.

SB4196 is basic common sense.
It would allow Illinois law enforcement to cooperate with federal authorities when dangerous individuals are using aliases, false identities, or have known criminal histories.

I believe my daughter, Katie, might still be alive today if Illinois leaders had valued public safety over political ideology.

We know federal authorities reportedly had information about aliases being used by her killer, yet Illinois’ “no cooperation” policies helped create dangerous blind spots instead of preventing tragedy.

The question is no longer whether Springfield politicians agree with every detail of the bill.

The question is why they are afraid to even vote on it.

When lawmakers refuse to consider even the most reasonable public safety protections, innocent Illinois families pay the price.
