Watch J.B. Pritzker lie on live TV about Chicago's top murder rate

Illinois' big mouth governor, J.B. Pritzker, was caught lying about Chicago's murder rate by Fox News' Bret Baier.

When Baier brought it up, Pritzker replied, referring to other cites, "We're not even in the top 30."

Baier than presented a map showing America's ten-most populous cities. 

Chicago is tops.

Sadly, Chicago's weak-kneed media never challenges Pritzker on his lies.

Gutfeld calls bluff on 'big fat gamble'

Illinois' lying governor--what happened to that 'no gerrymandering' promise--won over $1 million playing poker. Which means Pritzker, a billionaire, took money from people who are not as rich as he is.

That is, if Pritzker is telling the truth about his gambling escapades.

The Kinks: Sleepless Night

There's a Halloween feel on much of the Kinks' Sleepwalker album.

And it carries over into this song from that collection, "Sleepless Night," a rare song written by Ray Davies but with his brother, Dave, singing on lead.

And there is a "wicked lady" here.

Ex-federal prosecutor warns Letitia James may be in trouble: Seems like a ‘clean case’

Johnathan Fahey, a former federal prosecutor, discusses yesterday's indictment on fraud charges of Letitia James, the rabid anti-Trump New York attorney general.

As the Democrats told us multiple times a few years ago, "No one is above the law."

Pritzker the taxer

While nationally Gov. J.B. Pritzker of Illinois is known for his knee-jerk opposition to President Trump, the Chicago billionaire is known here as a taxer.

From Diana Rickert in the Daily Caller.

Illinoisans pay the single highest state and local taxes in the nation, according to WalletHub. With each year of Pritzker’s tenure, it gets worse. 

 According to the Illinois Policy Institute, Pritzker has enacted more than 50 tax increases since taking office in 2019, many of them affecting low and middle-income residents. This summer, the state’s second highest-in-the-nation gas tax is set to increase, again. The most recent state budget paves the way for higher property taxes, higher municipal grocery taxes, taxes on short-term rental properties like Airbnb and Vrbo, as well as new taxes on sports betting and businesses. Pritzker personally orchestrated the tax hammer dropped this year on nicotine pouches like Zyn and Rogue, per a Republican consultant and longtime tobacco harm reduction advocate who worked in opposition to it. 

Not only are taxes on nicotine-delivering products very regressive (and Pritzker purports to speak for the poor). In other blue states that have pursued those kinds of taxes, scientists who study tobacco harm reduction have plainly stated that driving prices up—especially while leaving taxes on traditional, combustible cigarettes alone—drives people to smoke. Let’s be real: these aren’t the type of taxes that are going to hurt the Pritzker family budget. And if a Pritzker develops a chronic disease from choices that stem directly from pricing dictated by Pritzker taxes, they’ll have no problem paying all the best doctors and nurses to fix it. He can tax his way from here to oblivion and have the money to cover it. Not so for your average Illinoisan.

Elvis Costello - "45"

Last week I attended my 45th anniversary high school reunion. 

It was a great time with great friends.

This song, "45," by Elvis Costello, was going through my mind. Written for his 45th birthday, it's juxtaposed with the year 1945, and how the world changed--and his world.

Same for me.

Chicago's 'peacekeepers' adding to city's crime problems | Wake Up America

Of all the bad ideas that have emerged from the left in the last decade--and there have been many terrible ones--the use of so-called "peacekeepers" to fight crime is one of the worst.

It seems these "peacekeepers" are also part of the criminal scence.

Here's a scene from Chicago.
