Thanks to the @oasishealthapp I’ve switched from poisonous FairLife Protein Milk to Bourbon and I can’t even begin to explain how much healthier I feel.

BREAKING: Illinois House Speaker Welch confirms tonight that the Brandon Johnson-backed “millionaires tax” does not have enough votes to advance. That means this constitutional amendment will not appear on the ballot this November. Thanks to all those who contacted their state rep!
NEW: The Illinois House Revenue & Finance Committee passes the Brandon Johnson-backed 3% “millionaires tax” a 13-7 vote. Would hike taxes on more than 22,000 small businesses statewide. thelastward.org/p/brandon-jo…

Illinois taxes you when you buy, when you sell, when you drive. They’ll even tax you for the privilege of owning your own home. Our state is getting more unlivable by the day. We need to freeze spending and put every single tax on the chopping block.

Illinois Democrats just passed a bill to make it cheaper for illegal aliens to attend college than it is for out-of-state American citizens. They truly never miss a chance to put Americans last. Here are the names of those who voted for the bill:

Illinois gas taxes are up 157% since 2019. U.S. DOT data shows road conditions haven’t improved even 1%. Where did the money go, @GovPritzker?
There are craters on the moon smoother than Illinois highways. $3.3 billion sitting in the road fund. Gas tax doubled. And somehow your commute still feels like off-roading. Where's the money going, JB?

Here is something with which all Chicago residents should be racked by anxiety. Yesterday, as CFD battled a fire at 74th and Yates in South Shore, the Battalion Chief declared an extra alarm and requested a tower ladder. Woefully, the closest tower ladder available across the entire city was located at Grace and Damen. This ladder traveled 156 blocks — some TWENTY MILES — to respond to the extra alarm. This is an utter outrage. Of the ten tower ladders in Chicago, 5, 10, 16, 24, 39, and 54, all are out of service. At the moment, only four tower ladders are in service, TLs 14, 21, 23, and 63, all of which are stationed on the North and West Sides of the city. This leaves the whole of the South Side of Chicago —which unfortunately experiences a higher number of fires — without sufficient equipment to fight large-scale fires. This shortage of equipment is inexcusable and undeniably imperils residents whose taxes pay for fire protection. This equipment shortage also creates dangerous conditions for CFD called on to fight fires. So, now that you know, @ChicagosMayor, are you going to do something about this?

Illegal aliens should get exactly $0.00 in taxpayer-funded benefits.

Thanks to President Trump, more than 50,000 barrels of American oil per day will flow again in California. Previously, California imported more than 60 percent of their oil from the Middle East due to their Anti-American energy policies. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

All Commercial Driver’s Licenses for undocumented immigrants in the state of Indiana will expire at midnight on Wednesday for those unable to provide proper visas. Moving forward, all future non-citizen CDL applications will need one of three approved work visas while also requiring the driver to demonstrate proficiency in English. In addition, any employers who knowingly hire illegal drivers without a valid CDL will face a $50,000 fine. This is a great first step in making our streets safer for Hoosiers. Now it’s our duty to enforce these new laws and prevent any more senseless deaths.

SHAME on the Chicago Tribune for this BLATANT OMISSION. The illegal alien suspected of murdering Sheridan Gorman is a TWICE RELEASED criminal illegal alien. This murder NEVER should have happened because this illegal alien should NEVER have been in our country.
Chicago police have arrested a 25-year-old Rogers Park man in connection with Thursday’s fatal shooting of Loyola University freshman Sheridan Gorman, according to records obtained by the Tribune. trib.al/rdaP961

Before JB Pritzker took office, he set up a shell company (East Jackson Street LLC) to double-pay his inner circle in direct violation of Article V, Section 21 of the Illinois Constitution. This is Illinois corruption at its finest.

One third of Chicago Public Schools are half-empty or worse. Take Douglass HS. Space for 912 kids. Actual Enrollment: 28 Staff: 27 Cost: $94,000 per student Results: Zero children proficient in reading This is what Chicagoans are paying sky-high property taxes for. Both Chicago and the state need a new leader with financial and policy expertise to fix messes like Douglass. Because Brandon Johnson and J.B. Pritzker sure won't. Vote @TedForIllinois on March 17 to bring fiscal sanity to Illinois. #twill @ILGOP @ChiPubSchool

Here’s what the Democrats in Congress refused to stand for during the State of the Union: Putting American citizens over illegal aliens Voter ID laws The murder rate at the lowest since 1900 Keeping violent criminals locked up Protecting parental rights Stopping fraud Angel families Price transparency Taking on drug cartels No tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security The most secure border in history The contrast could not be clearer: Democrats are crazy! President Trump and Republicans are for common sense!
Trump on Democrats not standing up during what he believes should be applause lines during his speech: "These people are crazy, I'm telling you. They're crazy."
