Illinois’ presidential-wannabe Governor J.B. Pritzker, tied for first place with Pretty Boy Newsom for worst governor in the country, has just announced he will definitely not be the unity president. In a fundraising event in New Hampshire on April 28, 2025, Pritzker called for “mass protests” and “disruptions” to clear Republicans from his path to the White House. Apparently, the summer of love riots, from which phony Pritzker and his family were safe, weren’t enough for the power-lusting Pritzker. He shouted this in his speech:
Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have. We must castigate them on the soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box.
Pritzker hopes to turn the entire country into Illinois–the state from which Illinoisans have been fleeing in droves for years. According to the Illinois Policy Institute,
Illinois’ population is in decline, and all this decline has been the result of domestic outmigration – Illinoisans fleeing the state. Illinois’ population has declined by 338,957 residents since mid-2018. … Only New York has shrunk at a faster rate.
Before he urged leftists to prevent their fellow Americans from knowing even a moment of peace, Pritzker boasted about his wildly “productive” first year as Illinois governor during which he “enshrined” human slaughter in law and legalized the use of recreational pot.
No mention from Pritzker on the link between cannabis use and schizophrenia among young men. Who cares about them when Pritzker can roll around in billions of dollars like a pig rolls in mud? Imagine how much deeper the fiscal hole Pritzker and his Democrat collaborators dug would be if he didn’t have all this drug money.
Now in Illinois, mothers can hire killers to off their offspring throughout the entire nine months of pregnancy for any or no reason. Pritzker and his confederates have made Illinois the bloodiest killing field in the country and the feticidal tourist destination in the country.
A hefty majority of Americans of all political, ethnic, and racial groups have staunchly supported President Trump’s successful closure of the border and ongoing efforts to return illegal aliens starting with violent criminals to the places from which they came. Pritzker, in contrast, turned Illinois into a sanctuary state which according to Illinois State House Republicans continues to empty the pockets of Illinoisans:
Currently, the cost of providing services to undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers is costing taxpayers an estimated $2.84 billion from fiscal year 2023 through fiscal year 2025, which doesn’t even include education costs or other various state and local services.
In addition to caring not at all about the unborn or the rule of immigration law, Pritzker cares not at all about the rights of girls and women. One of his top priorities after being elected was to create an ideologically non-diverse task force to socially construct all the ways to trans government schools. He wanted gender-confused biological boys in girls’ locker rooms, restrooms, and sports. And what Potentate Pritzker wants, Potentate Pritzker gets—usually.
Pritzker also boasted that “after 25 years of getting 21 credit downgrades for the state of Illinois we’ve now had nine credit upgrades in my first six years.” What that means is it will be easier for Illinois to borrow more money. It doesn’t mean that Illinois is in the pink—or black—economically.
One reason for his very narrowly tailored mention of one fiscal statistic may be that Illinois remains a mess. Prevaricating Pritzker routinely misrepresents budgetary issues, confident that many Illinoisans have neither the time nor expertise to sort through the complex, weedy details. Thankfully, there are organizations that do have the time, expertise, and integrity to sort through them and tell the truth about Pritzker’s mismanagement that Pritzker identifies as a flaming success.
For example, Bryce Hill, director of fiscal and economic research for the Illinois Policy Institute, clarifies what Pritzker obscured in his February 2025 State of the State address:
Pritzker’s proposed budget increases state spending to an all-time high of $55.2 billion – an increase of $2 billion from last years’ $53.2 billion spending plan. If enacted, the state’s annual budget will have ballooned by $16.7 billion compared to 2019 levels [when Pritzker took office].
In his State of the State address, Pritzker touted the 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Illinois reading test scores as a sign of his bang-up leadership:
In 2024, reading scores for Illinois’ eighth graders were the second highest in the nation, and their math scores were fifth highest in the nation.
No mention that the eighth-grade reading scores remain the lowest they’ve been in twenty-one years. No mention of the fourth-grade reading and math scores, both of which were below the national scores. And no mention of the shockingly poor reading and math scores for fourth and eighth graders in Chicago Public Schools.
In his disingenuous State of the State address, he shamelessly and shamefully compared Republicans to Nazis, asserting he does “not invoke the specter of Nazis lightly.” To be clear, he didn’t “lightly” raise the specter of Nazis, because Republicans really are Nazis:
What comes next? After we’ve discriminated against, deported or disparaged all the immigrants and the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women and the minorities – once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends – After that, when the problems we started with are still there staring us in the face – what comes next?
All the atrocities of human history lurk in the answer to that question. And if we don’t want to repeat history – then for God’s sake in this moment we better be strong enough to learn from it. …
If you think I’m overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this: It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. All I’m saying is when the five-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.
In his informal campaign launch for the presidency in New Hampshire, Pritzker astonishingly claimed that Republicans took “away voting rights from people of color.” If expecting voters to prove they are entitled to vote by providing identification constitutes snatching away their voting rights, then when airlines demand ID’s to board planes, are they snatching away travel rights?
Pritzker also declared that Republicans have “systematically chip[ped] away at the constitutional order.” Here is an excerpt from U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley’s (R-IA) March 5, 2025 critique of Democrats’ purported respect for “constitutional order” as it relates to the separation of powers:
Now that we have a Republican president, my Democratic colleagues appear to have a newfound respect for the courts. …
Over the last few years, Democrats have repeatedly threatened the Court for ruling in ways they did not like.
Famously, in 2020, the Senate Democratic Leader threatened the Court to influence its rulings on abortion.
He said, “I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” …
I’m happy that Democrats have finally discovered the importance of respecting the judiciary. They certainly didn’t hold this view when President Biden was in office.
President Biden ignored the Court’s position that the CDC’s eviction moratorium was unconstitutional and his own lawyers’ advice that he couldn’t do it. He went ahead and extended it anyway, and the Court had to strike it down.
President Biden boasted that the Court’s decision on student loan forgiveness “didn’t stop him.”
The Biden administration undermined the Court’s 2023 decision that racial discrimination in college admissions is unconstitutional and even issued a Dear Colleague letter on how to circumvent that ruling.
More broadly, President Biden flouted law after law throughout his entire administration. He ignored the plain text of our immigration laws, the parole statute, and our civil rights laws in the name of advancing his agenda.
… I heard no complaint from my Democratic colleagues. …
There have been numerous extreme orders from various district courts improperly encroaching on core Article II powers. President Trump and his administration have worked diligently to abide by those orders, no matter how outrageous, by appealing them and challenging their scope and reach. He is completely within his right to do so, and his conduct is appropriate and legitimate.
Our constitutional system has a robust system of checks and balances. The Executive Branch must abide by the courts and the courts must also ensure that their rulings are respectful of jurisdictional limits and the separation of powers.
Some of the recent orders from individual district judges, issued on an expedited basis with very broad nationwide impact, have concerned me. I think Congress needs to examine this issue closely.
The sanctimonious Pritzker isn’t worried about the sacrosanctity of the constitutional order. His concern is acquiring yet more power by hook and crookedness so that he can fashion the country into Illinois’ image.
