Hopefully, at least some voters are figuring out 95% of "legitimate" media exists to denigrate the truth. Billions are not being paid to house, staff and print newspapers to educate voters to the many minuses associated with Nancy Pelosi's economic agenda. All that money and energy is being spent to do the exact opposite. Unfortunately lots of folks have grown so accustomed to hearing and reading that "up is down" they aren't surprised when dems, in effect, end a legitimate news source ...by simply saying it's not "one of OUR newspapers." You know, "just go on reading OURS ---we've been so right about everything up till now."
Some of my dear, departed family lived in Italy during the 'stewardship" of a fellow named Mussolini ---when the official newspaper was a thing called Fascista Urbana. They told me the only way you could guess at what was really going on was to read between the lines. It looks like the ruling class in Illinois doesn't want truth tellers to actually point out IN PRINT what's between the lines of the garbage newspapers they own and control.
It seems these radical leftists can't help from acting like petulant children. Do they really still belive that after two years of blatant lies, cover-ups and "in your face" dirty dealings, the people of this country aren't onto them? Do they still think we are fools and sheep?
They've overplayed their hands again and again. But no one is fooled anymore.
Any self respecting casino would have these openly cheating gamblers dragged out and thrown on the street...and that's if they're lucky. Especially in Illinois.
Skulking in their penthouses will avail them nothing but scorn from the people they claim to represent.
Aren’t these little “rulers” embarrassed behaving this way in the United States of American, Land of the Free last I checked. These types of strong arm tactics during an elections I thought would be against the law. Whatever happened to equal time for all candidates. Was that disbanded?
The answer, Jan, isn't in one of your textbooks. It's outside your window. There was a time when we understood the greatness of a country depended on the virtue of its citizenry. As a result our education system devoted itself to instilling the values of diligence, honesty, self sacrifice and respect for life and property. Today's classrooms [and movie theaters, cable television, videogames ---I could go on but you get the picture] are actively undermining those values 24/7. In fact, if you WANTED to create a violent, lawless society you couldn't do a better job than we've been doing for the last 50 years.
Welcome to the result, Jan.

that "homogenous little hamlet" would be the fifth most populated state if it were in the usa, with more more nationalities living in it than in the entire usa.
i am not telling you the right way to do things.
i am pointing out that there are places that do it differently and with succes.
but as an american you wouldn't know the difference...
I'm not saying that. I'm saying that what may work in a small space isn't always workable in a large space.
I've worked in Latin and South America countries as well. What is happening in the US is compounded by a tremendously strong upheaval in political ignorance at the top level of this administration. Your country is smaller than some of the counties in a few of our states. While a county can control what happens in its boundaries, the state itself may be run in a way that undermines their own county.
You don't have that problem as you are a small, but sovereign country.
What happens in one state in the US may directly undermine the safety and right to live without severe danger in another.
We cannot release dangerous felons in one state without putting all neighboring states in danger.
Steve, with leaders such as yourself, freedom will ring on, no doubt about it! Appreciate your work!

for all the points he is completely wrong about, pritzker is right in trying to break the absolutely moronic system of incarceration.
maybe it is about time some americans would look beyond their borders to see how things seem to work out just fine in other countries?
You're kidding. right? What good does Incarceration do? For one thing, it keeps sociopaths outta your bedroom at night.
#Yes,Jan,ThereIsSuchThingAsASociopath
#YouCanReadAboutThemInYourCollegeTextbooks
the usa has the highest rate of incarceration in the world yet also one of the highest murder rates in the world.
so there must be more sociopaths in the usa than in all other countries in the world?
i wonder why that is...
does your college textbook provide an answer?
The answer, Jan, isn't in one of your textbooks. It's outside your window. There was a time when we understood the greatness of a country depended on the virtue of its citizenry.

outside MY window?
maybe outside yours but not mine.
i worked as an attorney for near 25 years, be it in the netherlands, a country with exactly the same videogames, movie theaters etc. as the usa.....
so maybe you should have come over and got some ideas and not kept on going down the same road that leads to destruction?
Ah. You're telling us the "right way" to do things from your homogeneous little hamlet. Delightful.
that "homogenous little hamlet" would be the fifth most populated state if it were in the usa, with more more nationalities living in it than in the entire usa.
i am not telling you the right way to do things.
i am pointing out that there are places that do it differently and with succes.

Comparing the problems of the Netherlands to the US is ridiculous. It's only 33.97% the size of NY.
let me guess: you are an american....
Just Fine? Just Fine? Spoken like a true PollyAnna who's only visited other countries in swanky hotels and safe zones!
you reading comprehension seems to be severely lacking.
or do you really think that there are no countries with a better system than the usa?
I'm not saying that. I'm saying that what may work in a small space isn't always workable in a large space.

That's simply common sense.
