At the Red Gala last night, Nick Shirley called on Illinois residents to investigate corruption in our state. He closed by urging people to speak up if they see something. There is corruption in Illinois and Democrats tolerate it. Who else wants him to investigate Illinois?

California is fighting a federal review of their voting rolls. The CA system is designed to make it easy to cheat and hard to prove. When Democrats talk about “democracy”, it’s their Orwellian doublespeak for “one-party rule by Democrats” @elonmusk @CortesSteve x.com/nickshirleyy/status/20…

The powers-that-be just called @spencerpratt out of the run-off because late arriving mail is magically much better for Ramen than on time mail - an improbable surge that conflicts with pre-election polls too. Could this outrage spark reform of CA’s easy-to-cheat election laws?

The @ChicagoBears are doing the Shakedown Shuffle, shuffling off to Indiana to avoid politicians who shakedown property owners with constant tax hikes - and who deliver lousy services, potholes, dysfunctional schools and let crooks run wild @ILGOP @elonmusk @CortesSteve @realDonaldTrump @stoolpresidente

The more government “tries” to do, the less it does well.

Democrats care more about their power than your prosperity! They think we work for them, pursuing policies that accrue power to government, even tho it scares away engines of prosperity like Cat, Citadel and the Bears. Government should work for us, not against prosperity

On June 6, 1944, a 56-year-old general with a secret walked onto Utah Beach under fire, armed with a cane and a pistol. The secret: his heart was failing. He had hidden it from the army doctors so they wouldn't pull him from the mission. His name was Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Son of the President. He had begged three separate times to lead the first wave ashore at Normandy before his commanders finally said yes. When his landing craft drifted 2,000 yards off course, every instinct said redirect the following waves to the correct zone. Instead, Roosevelt walked the beach himself, alone, under artillery fire, cane in hand, reading the terrain. His verdict: "We'll start the war from right here." He then stood on that beach and personally greeted every regiment that landed after him, pointing them inland, cracking jokes under shellfire, steadying 18-year-olds who had never seen combat. He did this for hours. Years later, Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic act he had ever witnessed in combat. His answer, without hesitation: "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach." Roosevelt's son, Captain Quentin Roosevelt II, also landed at Normandy that same morning. He was named after his uncle, Quentin Roosevelt, who had been shot down as a fighter pilot over France in World War I. Three generations. Three wars. One family. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep 36 days later. Heart attack. The thing he had been hiding finally won. He never learned he had been awarded the Medal of Honor. He was buried at the Normandy American Cemetery. In 1955, his family had his brother Quentin, killed in WWI, exhumed from where he fell in France and reinterred right beside him. Quentin is the only World War I soldier buried there. Two brothers. Two world wars. The same French soil. Their father had once said: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." Both of his sons did exactly that.

One of many days filled with pain and triumph in the amazing story of our nation. America is great because Americans have been so good. This 250th anniversary of our founding, let your heart swell with pride for being Americans @ILGOP

I have an idea: why don’t we freeze property taxes for EVERYONE, keep the @ChicagoBears in Illinois, and chase @JBPritzker and Mayor Johnson out of Illinois instead!

Bottom Line: @GovPritzker BJ and the rest of the @IlDemocratic BLEW the Bears deal because they could not bring themselves to make a simple promise: we won’t screw you! They think freezing property taxes is a handout. Property taxes are already too high, but they just could not promise not to raise them even more @ILGOP @CortesSteve @ChrisLaCivita @CookCountyGOP @elonmusk

The @IlDemocratic are bought and paid for by @GovPritzker — and he still could not get a deal done to keep the @ChicagoBears in Illinois. Weak! Bears are leaving for the same reason Bears fans and other great IL biz leave: taxes are too high, just going higher and services suck. @ILGOP @CookCountyGOP @ChrisLaCivita @elonmusk @AndrewChesneyIL

Truth: @JBPritzker finances literally everything for Dems in Illinois, he bought a Senate nomination for Julia Stratton, and HE CAN’T EVEN GET A DEAL DONE WITH PEOPLE HE FINANCES! The truth is he’s a weak blowhard with no deal-making skills @ILGOP @Awake_IL @CookCountyGOP @ChicagoContrar1 @ChrisLaCivita @elonmusk

The Bears are moving to Indiana for the same reason Bears fans move and why Caterpillar, Citadel, Boeing and so many more moved too: the government here is out to milk taxpayers, not serve them. The ruling Dems have a thuggish woke mindset: take, take, take, and look down on us in the process. Yet, our schools don’t teach, it’s dangerous in Chicago and event the suburbs now and the roads suck pretty much everywhere. They raised their own pay, they pass garbage in the middle of the night and they obviously care more about illegal immigrants than Americans — and you know property taxes (already among the highest) are going up, up, up #pritzkersucks. @ChicagoContrar1 @Awake_IL @IlliniJen @chiIIum @ILGOP @ThomasDeVore76 @elonmusk

Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while you could miss it! #Save_Ferris @ILGOP
