Illinois has the highest property taxes in the country: more than double the national average and nearly triple rates in Indiana.
This is what voters should be focused on when they cast their ballots in Illinois. Donโt let JB Pritzker change the conversation to, say, dinosaurs...as much as I love dinosaurs.
You can help drive the conversation! Share how much your bill has gone up. Show how many taxing bodies are on your bill. Compare how much more weโre paying in Illinois compared to other states.

๐จ#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a 22-year-old who runs into BURNING BUILDINGS as a volunteer firefighter was told he isn't qualified to be a paid firefighter...
...because he was HOMESCHOOLED.
Then the city changed the job posting to cover it up.
His name is Andrew Coates. He's 22 years old, in Nebraska.
Right now, today, he runs into burning buildings as a volunteer firefighter for Cedar Bluffs Fire. He is a state-licensed EMT.
He is doing the job. For free.
All he wanted was to get PAID to do it. In his words: "Make a career out of it would be the goal. To get paid to do what you love."
So he applied to the Fremont Fire Department.
And in April, the city rejected him. Why?
Because his high school diploma says he was homeschooled.
That's it. That's the whole disqualification.
Not his EMT license.
Not his fitness.
Not his record.
Not his experience pulling people out of fires ALREADY!!
...how he was educated.
The job posting he applied to said "graduation from high school."
That's all it said.
He graduated high school.
He has a diploma.
And AFTER they rejected him, the city went back and added the word "accredited" to the job description.
His own fire chief, the man who has watched Andrew work, showed up to defend him:
"I feel the city of Fremont is really missing out here, and in my mind, because of his homeschooling, you guys are discriminating against him."
Over THIRTY homeschool families showed up to stand behind this kid.
And the Civil Service Commission? They said it isn't their job to touch city policy.
Homeschoolers are literally a generation of kids who read ABOVE grade level, who work with their HANDS, who volunteer in their communities, who show up for their neighbors.
And this young man is the proof.
At 22, he's a certified EMT and a volunteer firefighter, while plenty of his peers are on a couch.
When your house is on fire at 3 a.m., I promise you will not ask the man dragging your children out where he went to high school.
You will not ask if his diploma was accredited.
You will thank GOD he came.
Andrew isn't even fighting for himself anymore. His words:
"I think now it's turned into we want to make sure that every homeschooler has an equal opportunity."
That's a better man than the policy that rejected him.
Fremont, you have a licensed EMT and an active firefighter begging to serve your city. And you turned him down over paperwork, then rewrote the paperwork to cover it.
Fix this.
Hire him!!!!!!!
Animal cruelty isn't a footnoteโitโs a crime linked to domestic violence, drug trafficking, and gun violence.
Honored to join @SecRollins and @SecKennedy for todayโs Animal Welfare Strike Force roundtable, bringing together the DOJ and USDA to identify, refer, and prosecute these cases at the federal level. Special thanks to @LaraLeaTrump and Lauree Simmons of @BDRRescue for their steadfast advocacy.
Animals cannot speak for themselves. We will speak for them. ๐พ๐บ๐ธ
The running was one thing but the 48 guys and girls out there in the Thai heat building Tina's hospital are working just as hard.
And none of this would be possible without the money donated from around the world.
She's coming along nicely now โค๏ธ
Florida deputies race into a burning home and rescue seven dogs, including five puppies in in Parkland, Florida.
Deputies dismantled a pen holding the puppies before placing them in a laundry basket and carrying them to safety as firefighters battled the blaze.
The Broward Sheriff's Office says the pups and their parents were all rescued, and the deputies involved were later recognized for their actions.

They brought her back to the shelter after only thirteen minutes of happiness. For entire days, she sat in silence at the back of her cage, her gaze lost in space, wondering what she had done wrong. The narrator, having worked in this animal shelter for eight years, had seen it all, but nothing remained more heartbreaking than the return of an animal everyone thought was finally saved. That day, it was Maya's turn.
Maya had been abandoned by her former owners. She was a beautiful, medium sized, golden Labrador cross, easily recognizable by her soft, slightly asymmetrical ears. In the beginning, she would sit right against the gate, desperately waiting for them to come back for her. Then, as the months passed, the hope in her honey colored eyes slowly extinguished. She laid down at the back of her kennel, completely resigned to her fate.
One morning, after three hundred and sixty five days of waiting, a young couple arrived. They were looking for a calm companion for their apartment. The worker explained Maya's past, specifying that she would need patience, and they assured they understood. When Maya got into their car at 10:15 AM, a fragile glimmer reappeared in her eyes. The worker's heart filled with immense relief.
At 10:27 AM, the phone rang. The young woman's voice was tense: "She is too lively. She is running everywhere, sniffing everything, and she jumped on our sofa. We are not ready." By 10:40 AM, their car was parking in front of the shelter once again. Maya's new life had lasted precisely thirteen minutes.
When the car door opened, the dog stepped out without any resistance. The adopters left quickly, avoiding her eyes. Maya turned toward the shelter worker, her tail wagging hesitantly, carrying that silent, devastating question in her eyes: "What did I do wrong?"
Rather than putting her back in a kennel, the worker settled her in the office on a soft armchair. "You did nothing wrong," they whispered to her. "You ran because you were happy. You jumped on the couch because you wanted to feel at home. That is just being a dog."
Weeks passed. The worker labored every single day with her to slowly restore her shattered confidence. And then, one afternoon, a silver-haired woman named Claire arrived. She said softly: "I am looking for a dog that nobody wants. An animal that needs time, because I, too, am learning to live alone in a large, empty house."
The worker told her Maya's story, her asymmetrical ears, the endless waiting, and those thirteen minutes of broken hope. Claire asked to meet her. When they arrived in front of the kennel, Maya stood up cautiously. She approached the bars, sniffed Claire's extended fingers, and then gently licked them. The emotional connection was immediate, sincere, and absolute.
Three days after their departure, Claire called, her voice trembling with emotion: "Maya is sleeping at the foot of my bed. The first night, she ran everywhere and jumped on the couch. It actually amused me, because I understood she was celebrating her freedom."
Today, two months later, the shelter receives regular pictures of Maya peacefully asleep in a warm sunbeam. Her eyes no longer ask what she did wrong. They simply declare that she is finally, truly home.
๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: True love does not demand immediate perfection; it embraces the joy of freedom. Mayaโs story beautifully demonstrates that an animal's vibrant spirit is never a fault, but a celebration of life that only requires the right, patient heart to understand it.
So you donโt like the price of $4.50 gas? Answer me thisโฆ
1. Who killed the Keystone XL pipeline on Day 1?
2. Who paused new offshore drilling and locked up Alaska?
3. Who drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserve?
4. Who put American energy last and then acted shocked when prices went up?
5. Who shut forced the shut down of the two biggest oil Refineries in California?
6. Who spent years trying to shut down Line 5 in Michigan?
7. Why do blue states have the highest gas tax in the country?
That would be the Democrat party that told you it was for climate change.
We were domestically energy dominant and Democrats implemented restrictions and regulations. So spare me your outrage that itโs a 5 month war causing this.
This case is bigger than all of us, it's a severe violation of privacy and the right of physical integrity!
It cannot go unpunished, and that's why we are here!
We won't back down until the unlawful death of HeeHaw will be avenged.

Oil was up to around $120 a barrel when gas was was $5.00 during the Biden Regime.
Now it's around $100 a barrel and gas in many areas is already way above $5.00. I paid $4.64 this morning and it keeps going up.
Would I be wrong to assume the oil companies are colluding with the Democrat Party to keep the gas prices artificially high for the midterm election?
She is shaking uncontrollably. She is so scared. Please let her go to a loving ๐ฅฐ home. The family that dumped her should never be allowed to own another animal ever. Owning a pet is a life long commitment! Would they move into a place that didnโt allow kids?
๐Urgent in South -Central, Arizona (Phoenix, Mesa Area)

2018: โWeโve got to lower the local property tax.โ
That was JB Pritzker when he wanted to be governor.
NOW: โI have nothing to do with your property taxes.โ
He had plenty to do with them when he wanted the job.
WE ARE BEING ROBBED.
Mitch McConnell has 40 aides and taxpayers are forking over nearly $4 million a year for that circus. What do we get back? A senator who disappears for months, shows up late to votes, and treats Kentucky like a lifetime membership card.
That is not representation. That is a payroll for the swamp. Term limits yesterday. Cut the gravy. Send these people home before they bleed this country dry.
Itโs pretty funny going back and watching JB Pritzker debate in 2018.
Lower property taxes? Cut taxes? Rein in spending?
Then he became governor and did the exact opposite.
At this point, 2018 JB could run against 2026 JB.
