Labeling your political opponents 'Nazis' won't help anyone, Mr. Governor
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker used his annual State of the State Address to lash out at President Donald Trump and his supporters - potentially including more than 40% of all Illinoisans - calling them all 'Nazis.' Such rhetoric was as irresponsible as it was inflammatory, stoking only more hatred and division, said Mark Glennon

Former Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan was convicted of misusing his public office for his own power and profit. Not only should his public pension be halted, he should repay the nearly $600,000 taxpayers already paid the felon.

The Obamas 2024…the fraud continues
As they spoke, each playing the race and class warfare card, I could not help but ask…do they understand who is in the White House. Now?
Hands Up...Don't Think!
Of all the lies surrounding the death of Michael Brown ¬- he was a gentle Giant from the loving, supportive family, the ‘college’ bound young man, the hysteria that race played any role in the shooting ¬- by far the worst is the myth of "Hands up, Don’t Shoot."
The Obama coup
Cramming down the throat always results in a gag reflex. This will be the case with the Harris candidacy.
Ignorance is on the ballot this November
Democrats are campaigning on a legal hoax. Abortion cannot be banned or ensconced as a constitutional right by anything other than a constitutional amendment, says Edwardsville lawyer
Welcome to Pottery Barn. I’m Joe. Can I help you?
The WOKE elements who place social engineering above all else, who transferred the founding motto of “E pluribus Unum” into rank tribalism, the elements who now see that the Biden charade has now been exposed, cannot at this date switch horses. Joe was, is and shall remain their guy.
While Obama stays silent, the Country convulses
From the Senate Majority leader to the House Minority Leader to even the President - all lawyers themselves - the attack on the Court is both unwarranted, unprecedented and unwise.
Prenzler reflects on lessons from the Covid lockdowns
This is what our founding fathers feared – that the government would try to censor free speech, as our government is trying to do today, with the excuse that it is “misinformation” or “hateful.”
Keeven: Illinois' Democrat supermajority tried to block ballot access, but 'we beat them at their own game'
In less than 36 hours from start to finish, the Democrats in the House and the Senate passed a law and the Governor signed it that is intended to keep me off the ballot. But, we beat them at their own game. So even though the supermajority in Springfield tried to stop us, you WILL have a choice in the 112th district this fall.

Madison County auditor 'sets the record straight' on Slusser's investments
The Treasurer has NOT lost $12 million in County funds. That claim is 100% false. In fact, quite the opposite is true as Mr. Slusser has actually earned millions of dollars in interest on the different bonds, certificates of deposit, and investment pools that he regularly invests our reserves in.
Prenzler urges Madison County residents to be aware of tax levy in property assessments
Last week, property owners received postcards from the Madison County Board of Review with news of township multipliers that are increasing their assessed valuation. Keep your eye on the levy. Your property tax bill is the result of the levies from various taxing districts.
The smell of Spring and primaries
If you haven’t received any political mailers yet, you will soon. Between the mudslinging and the promises, voters can be forgiven for throwing their hands up in frustration. But this is an important election - especially for Republicans - and I hope that voters can find at least a little care still within themselves to vote.
Hulme supports Stephen Adler for Circuit Clerk, says opponent McRae attempts to trick voters
This kind of trickery and nepotism is what the old Madison County Democrat Party was known for and nepotism should not be rewarded by the voters.
