Illinois ranked 48th out of 50 and received an F in Truth in Accounting’s 2026 fiscal health report. Only Connecticut and New Jersey ranked lower. The state has $166.3 billion in unpaid bills, or $36,900 per taxpayer. Chicago residents face a combined state and city burden of $79,500. Pensions have only 47¢ for every dollar promised, the worst in the country. Meanwhile, neighboring Midwest states fared better. Iowa earned an A. Indiana, Missouri, and Wisconsin earned Bs. Why would anyone want four more years of this? H/T @truthinacct

Slotkin has the politician’s disease of being vastly more impressed with herself than her actual intelligence and likability merit.
Elissa Slotkin claims that the only reason that she's being attacked for threatening lawfare against young conservatives for serving in the Trump administration is because she's a woman. 🙄

Former CIA operator, plays the "how dare you, I'm a woman" card, after threatening 20 year old students. No wonder our feckless CIA has been such an ineffective disaster for a generation...

I love how Elissa Slotkin is epically crashing out because a group of right wing college kids completely exposed her illegal, Bolshevik plans to politically target conservatives. She thought leftist UChicago was a “safe space” to divulge her authoritarian dreams and got totally owned by @ThinkerChicago

Sounds like a threat to me…
Susan Rice offers a taste of what’s coming should the left retake power — promises Democrats will punish corporations and other institutions who have “taken a knee to Trump.” “It’s not going to end well for them." “If these corporations think that the Democrats, when they come back in power, are going to play by the old rules…they’ve got another thing coming." “There will be an accountability agenda." “This is not going to be an instance of forgive and forget."

Dear @ElissaSlotkin: Fact Check: Bullshit. You specifically stated you want Trump officials prosecuted to deter Trump's young supporters from public service. You are not the victim, sweetheart.
This isn't my first rodeo with President Trump. After calling for me to be arrested, tried, and hanged for a 90 second video he didn't like, he is now attacking me for saying that there will be accountability for people who commit crimes on his behalf. It's simple. If you break the law, then you should be held accountable. If you are stealing taxpayer money and enriching President Trump or his family, then you should be held accountable.

You can't fight something with nothing. De-Christianized Europe has nothing. To paraphrase T.S. Eliot on the eve of World War II, for Europe's current moment: "If you will not have God, and he is a jealous God, then you should prepare to pay your respects to Allah and Lenin."

CBS sent Lesley Stahl to downplay noncitizen voting and she walked right into Harmeet Dhillon. "Literally thousands" of cases under investigation. Every illegal vote cancels out a LEGAL American's vote. 60 Minutes shrugs. We don't. Keep going, @HarmeetKDhillon!
“There are people who feel that the point is to sow distrust about the whole election system. There are very few people who are noncitizens who end up voting very few. Very few. And so therefore what's the purpose?” 60 Minutes asks Harmeet Dhillon, who heads the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “The point is actually the opposite of what you were saying. It's not to sow distrust. The distrust is there,” says Dhillon. “And so all of these kinds of crimes are being prosecuted now for the first time really in volume.” State audits have shown that noncitizen voting is extremely rare, though it does happen. cbsn.ws/4z7X60k

Apparently, @the12thward isn't the only alderman who winks at unlicensed, non-taxpaying businesses in her ward. 14th Ward alderman Jeylu Gutierrez seems just fine with an illegal business operating curbside at 53rd and California. Because of Gutierrez and Ramirez, great neighborhoods are being turned into crime ridden, third-world Marxist hellholes.

With the Slotkin comments fresh in everyone's mind, it's worth revisiting what Susan Rice warned about should Democrats take power. They've been very open about what they want to do. Rice promised in February that Democrats will punish people, companies and institutions who have “taken a knee to Trump.” “It’s not going to end well for them." “If these corporations think that the Democrats, when they come back in power, are going to play by the old rules…they’ve got another thing coming." “There will be an accountability agenda." “This is not going to be an instance of forgive and forget." So anyone that dared to be affiliated with the Trump admin will be targeted for political and legal reprisals, per Rice. They haven't hidden their plans. x.com/WesternLensman/status/…

Yes! The burning of churches in France is due to Trump.
🇫🇷 BREAKING: Emmanuel Macron has blamed the riots in France on President Trump In latest address on French TV, Macron claimed the rioters are protesting because of the high oil prices caused by Trump's war in Iran. He refused to take responsibility for pushing mass migration.

In the entire history of the American presidency, it would be almost impossible to identify a more destructive and divisive individual than @barackobama. I recall seeing him on Charlie Rose's show in 2004 and predicting that he'd become president because of the idiocy of so many members of the electorate. "I voted for the black guy. I'm so enlightened and progressive. I don't care that he is an enemy of our foundational principles."
It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically. Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country. Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case. Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve. In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota. The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

Bingo. If this pig @IlhanMN is not denaturalized and deported then the concept of legal immigration means nothing.
The judge who signed the warrant to raid Rep. Ilhan Omar's DC home is a Hillary Clinton donor who clerked for an Obama appointee. That fact alone demolishes the left's claim that this is some Trump-orchestrated political hit job. Mike Davis argues the opposite is true: the evidence against Omar must be so overwhelming that even a judge with deep leftist ties couldn't refuse to sign off. The Fourth Amendment requires probable cause of at least one federal crime inside that home, and U.S. Magistrate Judge Matthew Sharbaugh — appointed by a bench dominated by Obama and Biden picks — found it was there. Omar's allies in Congress, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jamie Raskin, and Rashida Tlaib, cried political revenge. But Davis says the simplest explanation is the most damning one for Democrats: a federal indictment may be coming before Christmas, and the evidence trail appears to reach well beyond Omar alone.

Definitely not a fan of Tusk, but he is absolutely right here. The day will come when most Europeans will concede that Viktor Orban was right about all of it.
Polska nie powtórzy błędów innych europejskich państw, nie będzie też za nie płacić. Twardo bronimy granicy przed nielegalną migracją, mamy własną politykę azylową (nie przyjmujemy wniosków), deportujemy tych, którzy łamią polskie prawo. W kwestii bezpieczeństwa będziemy bezwzględni. To usłyszeli ode mnie liderzy Europy w Brukseli.
