Top 10 from Thomas Sowell: 1. No solutions, only trade-offs. 2. Scarcity rules economics. 3. Knowledge reveals your ignorance. 4. Truth helps people; flattery doesn't. 5. Who decides > what is best. 6. Procedure > outcomes for bureaucrats. 7. 'Progress' often ditches what works. 8. Unaccountable power is reckless. 9. Preferences turn equality into 'discrimination'. 10. Intellectuals excuse socialism's flops. Key books: Basic Economics, Knowledge and Decisions.

You and JB haven't just made life more expensive, you've made life in Illinois miserable. You cheered when JB raised taxes $8.2B, applauded when JB signed the SAFE-T Act, and were silent when JB allowed "Invest in Kids" to sunset. It makes sense why you routinely trash Trump. It diverts from your atrocious record in office.

To the surprise of, well, no one, Chicago media was sure to mention former Alds. Ed Burke and Danny Solis prominently in coverage of @susanamendoza10 announcing her bid to unseat Chicago's comically incompetent mayor. WTTW, The Sun Times, the Tribune, and Block Club all joined in on a gang tackle of the State Comptroller. Though Burke and Solis are irrelevant, mentioning the two is Chicago media's signal it intends to use the disgraced ex-aldermen as a cudgel to bludgeon Mendoza for the next eight months in an attempt to derail her campaign.

If this is the threshold, President Trump should pull the majority of our forces out of the region, especially our known bases in the Gulf. Leaving our troops within reach of the Iranians gives them the ability to pull us back into the war on their terms.

How are Democrats cheating in L.A.? Let me show you… There are 26 registered voters at this toilet in Los Angeles. I’m not kidding. I have the voter records. See for yourself. The only thing here is a stinky port-a john inside an empty parking lot. No homes. No mailboxes. No businesses. Yet TWENTY SIX ‘people’ are casting ballots here. Straight-up voter fraud out in the open. This just a glimpse of what’s happening under Gavin Newsom. This is why California desperately needs Voter ID — and we must pass the Save Act NOW. x.com/bennyjohnson/status/20…

South Carolina! On Tuesday June 9th dump Lindsey Graham & vote for Mark Lynch @MarkLynchSC ! Mark Lynch is the America First fighter South Carolina needs in the U.S. Senate. He has built a successful business, created jobs, signed the front of a paycheck, and lived the values that Washington politicians only talk about. Mark understands that our country needs secure borders, a strong economy, a serious foreign policy, and leaders who put American citizens first. Lindsey Graham has had decades in Washington, and the results speak for themselves. South Carolina deserves a senator who will stand with President Trump, fight for working families, defend our freedoms, and take on the political establishment. I am proud to endorse Mark Lynch for U.S. Senate.

**Chicago's unfunded pension liabilities (city's 4 funds teachers') are ~$53 billion as of late 2024 data.** The four city funds alone were ~$36B. **Illinois state's 5 pension systems: ~$144 billion unfunded (FY2024/2025 per COGFA/Illinois Policy).** **Aggregate IL state local public pensions: estimates top $200 billion unfunded** (Reason Foundation and similar analyses of all state/local plans). Dividing the broader ~$200B figure by Illinois taxpayers (roughly 6-7 million income tax filers) lands around $28k–$33k per taxpayer. Chicago's overall financial burden is cited at ~$42k per taxpayer in recent Truth in Accounting reports. Numbers fluctuate with actuarial updates and markets—Illinois Policy Institute has the detailed breakdowns.
