The best evidence that @NYCMayor Mamdani has not held a job is the fact that he is sitting on the wrong side of the desk.

And listen to his words. On a day when we, and in particular, our leaders should be celebrating the 250 years of our nation’s history, he attacks us and what makes our country great.

Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists are grave threats to our present and our future.

If you bought your house for $200k, your taxes should never be more than $2,000.

No matter how much they inflate your assessment, my hard 1% cap plan locks your tax to your original purchase price.

It’s that simple.

Governor DeSantis and Governor Pritzker each just signed their 8th state budgets. The contrast couldn't be starker. And the lesson is that who you elect matters. Change out the politicians and you get different policies.
For reference, Florida is 1.8x more populous than IL, 23.37m people compared to 12.71m people. Now consider these points:
1. FL general revenue budget is $52B, IL is $56B. Because state's have different ways of budgeting, lookimg at the total FY27 budgets, FL =$117B, IL=$130B. This doesn't make sense.
2. Pritzker advocated for and signed the largest budget in state history this year and in previous years. DeSantis has lowered the amount spent every year for the last four years and vetoed over $10B in spending during his time in office. Pritzker's budget is up $16B since he took office.
3. Pritzker brags about his credit upgrades, but IL has the worst state credit rating, FL has the best credit rating.
4. FL has a rainy day fund of $18B. IL rainy day fund is $2B.
5. FL is pushing $78B in road programs and moving planned projects ahead 5-15 years. IL can't even get projects planned, permitted and built in a timely manner, so many projects are left undone and money sits in an account collecting interest. And now that surplus interest is being sent to the CTA to bail them out.
6. DeSantis has given back over $9B in taxes. Pritzker has raised taxes every year for a total of over $77B according to IPI.
9. FL is giving $5,000 signing bonuses for police officers. IL politicians want to defund the police.
10. FL is on the cusp of eliminating property taxes for 60% of home owners and they have no state income tax. IL has the highest property taxes, plus individial income and estate taxes, high corporate taxes, and there's been no attempt to meaningfully lower property taxes.
Yes, elections have consequences. But, it can all ve reversed. DeSantis barely got elected 8 years ago. Your vote matters.

The Supreme Court will rule on birthright citizenship tomorrow morning…

It’s not an exaggeration to say this could be the most important decision in our lifetimes.

Under the current interpretation of the 14th Amendment, a foreign citizen of another nation can cross our border illegally at 9 months pregnant, give birth to an American citizen, and then return home. Their child is now eligible for US benefits and can vote in our elections.

The Chinese can also pay to have surrogate children on US territorial islands in the Pacific, then immediately ship the babies to China to be raised under the CCP. Those children are now eligible for US benefits and can vote in our elections.

Both of these scenarios are happening. It’s simply wrong and not at all what the Amendment was intended for, which was former slaves and their children during Reconstruction.

If it stands, US citizenship means nothing.

It's not a Sunday unless you wake up at 6/7am, have 2-3 baseball games. Drive to a tennis / soccer something practice and never see your spouse because you both have to be in 24 places at the same time for your kids. Arrive back home sunburned, tired and ready for Monday.

“It’s already illegal for noncitizens to vote”

Yea, and it’s also illegal to cut your wife’s head off, but that didn’t stop OJ.

Laws are meaningless to criminals.

Illinois property taxes are a second mortgage.

I want to cap your tax at 1% of your home's purchase price.

That’s THOUSANDS back in your wallet every year.

You bought the house, you should own it.

I was raised learning the Bible. In adulthood, I began to go back and read the literary classics, only to find every great work was a shadow of the scriptures.

The Bible is the DNA, the source code of the West. People who don't know the Bible don't understand America.

That SCOTUS had to rule that (i) "temporary" means "temporary" and (ii) "arrives in the United States" means "arrives in the United States" is kind of remarkable

John Thune’s team has worked harder to argue that they weren’t responsible for @ScottPresler being kicked out of the SD GOP event than they have to pass the SAVE America Act.

My Illinois friends, you remember when Governor Pritzker was screaming about high gas prices? He’s raising the gas tax…

James Talarico says "I think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity."

So, this guy hates Christianity, meat, guns, oil, thinks white people are inherently racist, that the Bible justifies abortion, and that God is 'non-binary.'

[Chicago Contrarian @ChicagoContrar1]

It’s hard to imagine a more mind-boggling confession of someone's startling ignorance.

Sunny Hostin claims the Obama Center is in "Jackson Park" and states the neighborhood "needed to be developed" and is "underserved."

Jackson Park is — shocker — a literal park, not a neighborhood. Furthermore, the Obama Center is located in Hyde Park, one of the most affluent neighborhoods in Chicago.

Hostin is uniquely clueless.
