Out and About in Illinois
2025 Farm Progress Show- the nation’s largest outdoor farm show.
It was great talking with other farmers, although we were denied the opportunity to talk with Gov. Pritzker about concerns we have about current policies. I guess he only provides soundbites and not real conversations.
Pritzker Denies the Crime Crisis in Chicago and Across Illinois
JB Pritzker is suffering from TDS and denies crime being an issue in Chicago and across our state while communities are being terrorized by thugs. The SAFE-T Act and Sanctuary City policies make Illinois less safe! He has destroyed safety and security, but President Trump is going to make Illinois safe again because he knows Pritzker and Johnson can’t do the job. Move out of the way JB, the Trump Train is coming!
Guard not needed in Chicago, Pritzker tells AP during tour of city to counter Trump’s crime claims
Wake Up, Illinois!
After the Democrat Supermajority killed Illinois’ only school-choice program, the state’s families may be able to access funds for educational options via the federally funded Educational Choice for Children Act. But the same self-serving state leaders who stripped families of any freedom of choice would have to get on board.
Neighbors Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin are already offering school choice programs.
Does Illinois need ONE MORE REASON TO DRIVE RESIDENTS OUT OF THE STATE???
People who need or want to remain in Illinois will find a way to put the corrupt public school system out of business one way or another. Check out what this community is doing on the West Side of Chicago:

Meanwhile, selfishly and politically motivated ‘leaders’ in Illinois are ignoring children with disabilities, throwing temper tantrums to fatten the piggy banks of corrupt teacher’s unions and spending YOUR hard-earned money on hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants:

‘Absolutely Shameful’: Illinois Gov. Signs Law Extending Financial Aid to Illegal Immigrants
News from The Washington Stand
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) has signed a new, allegedly “inclusive,” law extending financial aid eligibility — not necessarily to poorer students or families in need, but to illegal immigrants.
The bill makes it so that all residents can receive financial aid regardless of immigration status. Reportedly, this is designed to establish “equitable eligibility for financial aid and benefits” for all students throughout the state. As the legislation itself reads: “a student who is an Illinois resident and who is not otherwise eligible for federal financial aid, including, but not limited to, a transgender student who is disqualified for failure to register for selective service or a noncitizen student who has not obtained lawful permanent residence, shall be eligible for financial aid and benefits.”

In a statement, state Rep. Chris Miller (R) argued that “this move is top of the list for why Pritzker must be put out of office.” He continued, “While you’re figuring out how to pay $500 electric bills, he quickly signed HB 460 into law giving illegals free college!” Miller took note of the same trend many Illinois residents seem to be emphasizing, namely, that “since Pritzker took office, Illinois citizens have been left behind while illegals get all the handouts they need to feel right at home in Illinois. The governor has betrayed every Illinois citizen with his policies that roll out the red carpet for illegal immigrants.”
Another Pritzker ‘Disappearing Act’
Just like lowering academic standards to make it appear as if Illinois’ public schools are performing better and creating opportunities for its students, now the state’s Fiscal Fairy has waved a magic wand to make serious pension debt disappear.
A long overdue financial report published on August 7, 2025 reported that unlike state PHONY budgets, growing debt was included in their analysis and it is NOT included as income.
J.B. Pritzker and his Supermajority Democrats would like you to believe that Illinois’ Net Position (net worth) improved from negative $185 Billion to negative $170 Billion (by any standards a total disaster). In actuality, the pension system still worsened with unfunded liabilities INCREASING $5.7 Billion from fiscal year 2022 when they were $139.8 Billion.

Illinois Home Prices Are Up, Inventory Is Down
While it might seem like good news to homeowners who are looking to sell, the reality is that Illinois’ restrictive zoning laws and policy barriers are preventing new housing construction and driving even more Illinois families out of the state.
