There is Zero Competency in the Pritzker and Johnson Administrations

As Governor Pritzker continues to roll out his campaign for president early, the nation now sees the misdirection and massaging of facts (otherwise known as lies) about the state of Illinois. Fortunately, the truth is catching up to him.

There is no doubt that after conducting hundreds of interviews and press conferences with a mostly friendly press in Illinois and on leftist national programs,

By refusing to give the Nobel Peace Prize to President Donald Trump, the Nobel Peace Prize Committee has transmogrified a prestigious honor into a politicized sham–a golden medal into a tarnished trifle.

October 13th, is the deadline for Mr. Speaker – the name he coveted – to report to federal prison. He’s looking at 7.5 years behind bars. At age 83, it’s possible Mike Madigan dies in jail.

For a guy accustomed to calling the shots and having adoring kleptocratic union-thugs and grifters do whatever he asked, this experience will be uncomfortable. But it won’t be nearly as uncomfortable as what Illinoisans have endured during his 50 years in the Illinois House and 37 years as the Speaker.

The fall brings so many great distractions. If you’re a die-hard Cub fan, a parent of a high schooler in the midst of football and homecoming activities, or someone who likes to travel to the look at the fall colors, it’s quite possible that you have no idea what’s been happening in Broadview, Illinois (or Portland, Oregon.)

You’ve also likely already forgotten, if you even knew, that the federal government “shut down” on Wednesday at 12:01 am.

Saint Michael the Archangel,

defend us in battle.

Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;

and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,

by the Divine Power of God,

cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits

who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

The elitists in the education bureaucracy are monkeying with the state standards that measure proficiency. Since 2019, the number of students who score as “meets or exceeds proficiency” has not increased in 3 out of 4 tests and only slightly increased in one.

The state measures proficiency in math and reading at the elementary level using the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) and at the high school level using the SAT.

This chart from the Illinois State Board of Education Report Card shows the overall state-level proficiency over the years in the IAR test for English Language Arts.

A story getting a lot of traction this week is the one I first saw from FOX Illinois about Lincoln College, which has been closed for two years, receiving a $500,000 allocation in the FY 2026 state budget. Social media posts on this are getting lots of shares and comments about how stupid Illinois legislators can be to grant money to a defunct entity. In response, at least one state senator assured the media that the money wasn’t actually transferred to the college,

The 2024 loss has hurt Democrats badly. They knew a Trump second term after they effectively stalled much of his first term agenda with impeachment trials and investigations, then lied about Hunter Biden’s laptop, conducted an illegal vote counting scheme in blue states in 2020, and then convicted him on bogus crimes on a personal real estate loan where no one was harmed, – they knew that he knew that the deep state apparatus must be dismantled and it would destroy much of their built-in political advantage the Dems have enjoyed over the years.
