— DUPAGE COUNTY TAXPAYERS TO SAVE $100M BY CUTTING GOVERNMENT LAYERS – Dylan Sharkey
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/dupage-county-taxpayers-to-save-100m-by-cutting-government-layers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The bill would have granted any township the right to dissolve if approved by voters. The bill only failed because of lobbying by the Illinois Township Association. Biss then successfully pushed for a similar bill allowing only Evanston to consolidate. Former state Sen. Susan Garret was in opposition to the former bill, saying what works in Evanston might not work elsewhere. That seems to argue for local voters having a chance to make those decisions. Springfield City Council approved an advisory questions asking voters if they’d like the city to absorb Capital Township. The city and township share exact boundaries.)

— Not Proud of America? Wrong. – Robert B. Charles
https://amac.us/not-proud-of-america-wrong/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Biden – as Hurricane Ian slammed the Nation – was raising money for Democrats by saying “Americans are not proud of the Nation.” Wrong, Mr. President. Most love this nation. What they are not proud of – is you, your arrogant White House, unaccountable Justice Department, and out-of-touch Democrats in Congress, who daily make American lives miserable, overspending, cutting energy, pushing jarringly high prices and interest rates, devaluing citizenship, ignoring violent crime, and lying.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Migrants: A Billion More Are Waiting in the Wings – Hallie Smith (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats illegally encourage citizens of foreign countries to illegally come to America illegally and to illegally stay in America illegally. Democrats should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/10/migrants_a_billion_more_are_waiting_in_the_wings.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: These are the things I worry about as I watch televised migrants navigate the Rio Grande. I don’t blame them for wanting a better life, but what, I wonder, do they worry about? Do they know, for example, that they’re being used as fodder for political cannoneers, or as dupes for coyotes, cartels, and paid agents of the Democrat party? Do migrants really want to live in a land awash in killer drugs, a pathetic country that won’t even defend its borders? No, I’m sure they don’t, any more than they want to live in houses where the door can’t be closed, or in cities where felons are freed by prosecutors who have become de facto criminals themselves. Do migrants have second thoughts about being shuffled around in an America that allows unvaccinated lawbreakers to cross its borders while, simultaneously, screaming bloody murder about the overwhelming importance of vaccines? Until a few days ago I couldn’t even get into Trinity Church in New York City without a mask and proof of vaccination. The woke clergy of this historic institution still won’t allow you on a religious retreat unless you meet their health standards. And yet, they welcome unmasked migrants into America unjabbed. Do border crossers ponder the hidden motives of the elite puppeteers who pull the strings of America’s senescent president? Do migrants worry that they are being admitted into the U.S. simply to get them within needle range of the frenzied El Norte inoculators, who forcefully peddle a potentially fatal concoction with unknown long-term effects? Are these hope-filled illegals aware of widespread speculation that they’re just imported voters who are expected to swing elections for the left in battleground states? And if they should fail to carry out this Woke political mission, will they cheerfully consent to having their citizenship powers overridden by the further importation of the billion or so emigrant replacements who, Gunnar Heinsohn warned NATO, are waiting in the wings? Sooner or later the Rio Grande migrants will figure out that they were encouraged to break U.S. immigration law by a law-breaking administration, a cynical regime that deliberately allowed American cities to sink into crime and despair, and a crooked government that was always on the lookout for excuses to shut down schools, lock down communities, fabricate elections, and turn Antifa loose. It’s what the new Americans do next that will determine our country’s fate.)

https://www.christianpost.com/news/cities-using-tax-dollars-to-fund-abortions-after-roes-reversal.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Chicago: During a May MSNBC interview after Politico published a leaked draft of the Dobbs decision indicating that the Supreme Court was poised to overturn Roe, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot pledged that the city would be an “oasis” for women seeking abortions in the Midwest. In August, Lightfoot and the Chicago Department of Public Health announced that $500,000 would be split between Planned Parenthood of Illinois and the Chicago Abortion Fund to support transportation, lodging, “safe and necessary reproductive, obstetric, and gynecological care” and follow-up services.)
