JB Pritzker: “Let Them Have Pennies”

Written by David E. Smith

This past Thursday, Governor J.B. Pritzker and other Democrat members of the Illinois General Assembly held a press conference to trumpet their weak election-year economic “relief” plan. They must be tone-deaf. This temporary plan does very little for working families long-term. High taxes plus the inflated costs of gasoline, electricity, and food have all but destroyed discretionary spending.

Unlike billionaire Pritzker, the majority of families in Illinois have very little savings in reserve.… Continue Reading

Democrats Are Fooling Themselves on the Popularity of Abortion

Written by David Harsanyi

One of the central justifications for the Left’s proposed court-packing scheme is to claim that the reversal of Roe v. Wade is so radically out of step with the American public that it is an undemocratic, minoritarian power grab. Not only is the argument based on the unconstitutional notion that justices should weigh the vagaries of public opinion before ruling but it also relies on the irreconcilable claim that empowering the public to vote on an issue unmentioned in the U.S.… Continue Reading

Army Recruitment Down 23% Amid Mandates, As Army Tosses Requirement For High School Diploma

Written by Daniel Horowitz

No high school diploma? Be all you can be in the military. No COVID shot after years of meritorious service? Goodbye, as we ask illegal aliens to take your place. That is the state of play in the U.S. military.

The time has come for Republican “defense hawks” to finally show some concern for the quality, morale, and mission of the military, not just throw endless money at it while the military self-immolates, expels those who don’t get Pfizer’s shot, and then complains that it can’t meet its recruiting goals.… Continue Reading

Eyes on the White House? JB Stumps in NH

Written by David E. Smith

Lost in all of the news last week, you may have missed the reports about JB Pritzker’s appearance at a convention of New Hampshire Democrats on Saturday, June 18, 2022. Making the most of the opportunity to float his POTUS balloon, he endorsed New Hampshire U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan and governor candidate Tom Sherman, both of whom are facing tough fights this fall.

DHS Released Nearly 100K Illegal Aliens in Just One Month: Tip of The Invasion Iceberg

Written by Daniel Horowitz

In one respect, when DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told U.S. Rep. Chip Roy at a recent U.S. House Judiciary Committee hearing that the DHS has operational control over the border, he wasn’t lying. His department is now releasing close to 100,000 illegal aliens per month into the interior of the country. Thus, this is actually a controlled and purposeful mass migration, although there are many more gotaways that funnel through our border during the chaos.… Continue Reading
