Unless you have the misfortune to live in Illinois, you have no idea how odious it is to live under the worlds dumbest billionaire. Go here to read about Pritzker’s latest attempt to ban speech he does not approve of. If I live to see a Second American Revolution, wannabe dictators like Pritzker will bring it on.
Illinois voted for this fat*ss …again.
“Illinois voted for this fatass… again”
More precisely, 13 out of 102 counties in Illinois “voted for this fatass again”.

Meanwhile, JB the Hutt is now proposing to hand out $5 million in “Build Illinois” grants to abortion facilities. These grants would be distributed by the same agency that gives economic development grants to businesses for things like pandemic relief, tourism promotion, and green energy projects, and they will be funded from money set aside for infrastructure related projects. IOW, our governor considers abortion to be an essential State industry and as much a part of our “infrastructure” as roads, bridges, and public buildings. Thank God for this judge, at least, not allowing him to stamp out the competition for his “essential industry”.
Pritziker manifests a general tendency within the Democratic Party at large. The odious bill in question received majorities in both chambers and the Democratic voters in your social circle will make excuses for it. Jonathan Turley has been reviewing such matters assiduously.
Here’s a suggestion: the problem is widespread narcissism and the Democratic Party is a collecting pool of narcissists. It seems to get worse every year due to cohort effects. Well balanced people die and their deeply damaged grandchildren or great-grandchildren enter the workforce. The expression of this tends to be more florid among professional-managerial types, among blacks, and among women.
Has anyone heard from Cdl. Cupich regarding this moral travesty of the political process?
It’s gotten to the point where I frequently wonder if I’m sinfully cooperating with evil by continuing to work for, or even live in, this state. My job is with a legislative branch agency that is governed by both parties equally, is not under the governor’s jurisdiction, and does not promote or take sides on particular policies of either party. Any cooperation we have with abortion, transgenderism, etc. would be remote material cooperation, which I know is generally not sinful, but it bothers me nonetheless. I’m only 5-7 years away from retirement in any event so I might as well just wait it out.
None of this is our fault Elaine. At 66 I am too old to start again in another state, and my son and I are currently the only attorneys in our village. Our county is quite conservative. Residing in downstate Illinois is like living in a building where small sections, but densely populated, have been converted into insane asylums, and the madmen are seeking to chase the sane people out.

Hard for him to talk when he is constantly kissing Pig Pritzker’s backside.

It does seem that way. There are literal madmen walking the streets of Springfield on a daily basis, I mean certain homeless/street people who wander around shouting and cursing at random and/or begging for money. You can drive just 10 or 15 miles outside of town to places such as Sherman, Williamsville, Elkhart, Lincoln, et al. and feel as if you landed on a different planet.

There, I fixed it, Art 🙂

Wow. It wasn’t too long ago that Springfield was one of the quieter, less obtrusively political state capitals I’d ever visited. I chalked it up to the absence of a major state university from the same town. (With apologies to the former Sangamon State U). But I suppose the age of instantaneous, ubiquitous communications has now overcome that advantage.
