ILLINOIS FAMILY INSTITUTE
— The Three Trap Doors of Springfield. Most Illinois voters assume that when a legislator files a bill, the bill gets a hearing, lawmakers debate it, votes are cast, and the public can see where everyone stands. That is not how Springfield works under Democrat House Speaker Chris Welch. In fact, one of the least-discussed realities of the Illinois House of Representatives is that there are three trap doors designed to prevent any bill the Speaker doesn’t want from ever reaching the point of public debate. Most voters never hear about these rules because the media doesn’t write about them.

WASHINGTON TIMES
— Sanctuary cities revive America’s oldest constitutional heresy: nullification
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/jun/23/sanctuary-cities-revive-americas-oldest-constitutional-heresy/

WASHINGTON EXAMINER
— Reparations: Who would the payors and the payees be? DD: My critics/opponents want those who share my demographics to pay reparations. According to them, those who share my demographics benefitted tremendously from slavery. They stress that all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s. In my ancestors’ defense, they always lived in northeast Illinois. They never were in a position to discriminate against anyone and they never did discriminate against anyone.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/op-eds/4619731/question-new-jersey-slavery-reparations-push-cant-answer/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In June 2025, the New Jersey Reparations Council released its 244-page report, “For Such a Time as This,” calling on the state to provide “repair” for a claimed $643,000 per-family racial wealth gap and endorsing sweeping reparations-related policies. Since then, several New Jersey reparations advocacy groups have again invoked Juneteenth to renew calls for lawmakers in Trenton to take up the Council’s recommendations. I will leave ethicists to debate the fairness of coercing one generation that committed no sin to compensate people against whom no sin was committed. Instead, I pose a simpler question: Who are the payors and payees? Reparations require neat racial bookkeeping at a time when America has become anything but neat. Since Loving v. Virginia in 1967, interracial and interethnic relationships have become commonplace. Roughly one-quarter of coupled Americans now have a partner of a different race or ethnicity, while millions of children have mixed-race parentage. As racial lines blur with each decade, advocates rarely explain who qualifies, who pays, and who collects. Does a half-white Patrick Mahomes pay… himself? The Council’s report declares that “all Black people in New Jersey are eligible for reparations,” while expressly declining to limit eligibility to descendants of enslaved people. Yet it never offers a workable definition of “Black” in a state where race and ethnicity overlap. Is eligibility based on ancestry percentage, self-identification, mixed-race status, ethnicity, appearance, family history, or length of residence? The report does not say. And who pays? The report simply demands that “New Jersey” pay hundreds of billions of dollars in reparations — $178,000 to each black person or $642,800 to each black family — without clearly explaining how such payments would be funded or where Hispanics, Indians, Asians, Middle Easterners, recent African immigrants, and other nonwhite residents fit into this racial accounting. That lack of clarity exposes the deeper problem: Morality aside, the sheer complexity, subjectivity, and administrative arbitrariness of reparations make them untenable on their face. Targeting New Jerseyans is especially strange. During the Civil War, New Jersey sent more than 88,000 citizens to fight for the Union, not the Confederacy. More than 6,000 died, many of them boys and young men. Adjusted for today’s population, that would be the equivalent of nearly 90,000 New Jerseyans dying — more than the state’s entire number of male high-school seniors. One would think a state that sacrificed the flower of its youth in the war that ended slavery had made a rather substantial atonement. Nor are today’s New Jerseyans even remotely the same population. Millions descend from families who arrived decades after Appomattox, often penniless and facing discrimination themselves. Indeed, one in four New Jersey residents today was not even born in the United States. It is hard to see how they bear moral or financial liability for a long-abolished institution. Reparations advocates such as Social Justice Matters, Inc, often emphasize that New Jersey once held “more than two-thirds of all enslaved black people in the North.” But two-thirds of what? Notice the move: percentages instead of raw numbers. “Two-thirds of all Northern slaves” sounds far more damning than 2,254 — the actual number still held in bondage in New Jersey in 1830, according to the census. I say “still” because that figure had fallen from roughly 12,422 in 1800, an 82% decline. Slavery remained technically legal, yes, but it was rapidly withering. By 1840, the number was down to 674. By Juneteenth 1865, the Garden State could count exactly 18 remaining elderly slaves. That puts New Jersey’s wartime sacrifice in perspective. For each of New Jersey’s remaining enslaved black people freed at war’s end, some 350 white New Jerseyans had died in the struggle that ended bondage. Was New Jersey guilty of participating in slavery? Absolutely. Did slavery create disadvantages that lingered for generations? No doubt. No one should deny either truth. But guilt is not a blank check, and history is not an accounting ledger that can be balanced two centuries later by sorting today’s residents into crude racial categories. If the Reparations Council wants to impose vast costs on New Jerseyans, it should at least answer the simplest questions first: Who qualifies? Who pays? How is liability assigned? What happens to mixed-race families? What about immigrants, recent arrivals, and descendants of Union soldiers? Until those questions are answered, New Jersey reparations remain less a serious policy proposal than a moral slogan in search of a workable system.)

— Growing U.S. inequality is worsening Social Security’s financial crunch. DD: According to my critics/opponents, I was always grossly overpaid. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents were the wealthiest.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/social-security-insolvency-income-inequality-tax-cap/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Social Security’s looming funding crisis is usually blamed on demographics, with an aging U.S. population and declining birth rates leaving fewer workers to support retirees. But another force is also draining the program’s finances: widening income inequality. In the last few decades, incomes of higher-paid Americans have soared, far outpacing those of low- and middle-class workers. That’s become a problem for Social Security because the program only taxes annual earnings up to $184,500, meaning it loses out on much of the faster income growth among top earners. As a result, Social Security’s revenue base is eroding, according to the program’s latest trustees’ report. The share of total wages subject to Social Security taxes has fallen from almost 87% in 1984 to roughly 83% today, largely because high earners’ pay has grown much faster than everyone else’s, lifting more of their income above the tax cap, the report found.)
