This is why I donate $0 to any cardinal appeals. Our Cardinal doesn’t care about Catholic issues
Last night I was proud to join Gov. JB Pritzker, Senate President Don Harmon, Cardinal Blaise Cupich and leaders across all sectors at the Rerum Novarum Awards! Congratulations to SEIU Local 1 President Genie Kastrup, Business leader Martin Cabrera, Government and Public Service leader Mary Ellen Caron, Father Gary Graf and Michael Sacks, recipient of the first-ever Nostra Aetate Award. A powerful celebration of dignity, faith, labor, and unity!

Releasing VIOLENT criminal illegal aliens into the community versus ICE custody
Sanctuary States protect criminal illegal aliens
If these 14 don’t qualify for the “worst of the worst” by democrats then none do
ICE and federal authorities arrested 14 foreign illegal aliens with convictions for violent crimes after they were released from Oregon prisons or jails despite immigration detainers sent by ICE.
Democrats and leftists believe in welcoming and supporting convicted criminals.

Just a simple post as a reminder. Multiple arrests and attacks. But look at that line:
His sentence is reduced in half as mandated by state law
As you vote, which is important:
Safety of your family OR reducing criminal sentences. How did your electeds vote?
He was one of 8 attackers who robbed 4 Red Line passengers last year.
In one case, he attacked a victim who was already down. That victim suffered multiple broken bones and a dislocated ankle.
Now, it’s prison time: 6 years, reduced to 3 by state law.

Folks will argue an alderperson is technically a part-time job w/ excessive pay. But let’s say they’re being paid a fair wage.
If alderpeople are being paid market rate, why is their full salary pensionable?
Pensions are deferred salary. At $130K, what are they deferring?

MEXICAN ILLEGAL ALIEN WANTED FOR CHILD RAPE, GRANTED BIDEN-ERA GREEN CARD, DEPORTED UNDER TRUMP
ICE deported Christian Ruvalcaba-Salas, a Mexican national wanted in Mexico on charges of brutally raping a child in 2022. He also had a history of arrests for numerous criminal offenses in the U.S.
After attempting to flee, Ruvalcaba-Salas was tracked down by ICE officers and turned over to authorities in Aguascalientes, Mexico, to face prosecution for his alleged crimes.
ICE will RELENTLESSLY pursue violent predators and remove them from our country to protect American communities.

Twenty-four suspects were charged in a federal indictment for their alleged roles in a Sinaloa Cartel-linked drug trafficking organization that distributed large quantities of methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine and other drugs throughout Middle Tennessee.
Court documents allege the organization conspired to distribute hundreds of kilograms of methamphetamine, fentanyl and cocaine while laundering millions of dollars in drug proceeds through financial transactions and bulk cash smuggling to individuals in Mexico responsible for supplying narcotics throughout the United States.
The @HSTaskForce investigation with @HSI_Nashville led to the seizure of more than approximately 500 kilograms of methamphetamine, 20 kilograms of fentanyl, 60 kilograms of cocaine, more than $375,000 in cash, multiple firearms and five vehicles.

California. Wish it was illinois
Rob Bonta calls our list of noncitizens “garbage.” He should check his own voter rolls, which are inaccurate and full of ineligible voters.
At least 20,000 suspected noncitizens are registered to vote in California. We have the receipts and presented them in court. Americans deserve to have their votes counted equally.

Stacy Davis Gates just got a raise from $180K to $250K as IFT president. Add the $195K she already takes from the CTU and she’s at $445K.
She lectures everyone else about equity and “the struggle,” then gives herself a nearly 40% raise.
The struggle is real. Just not for her.

WOW. A source tells me that all staff members at Peoria Public Schools (@PEORIA150) in Illinois received these anti-ICE cards instructing them on how to dox ICE agents and assist illegal aliens.
This school should be investigated immediately. @AAGDhillon
Just imagine what they’re indoctrinating your kids with…

I think the people making money off of elections make sure the polls are close so they can squeeze every last dime out of the donors.
Then they take that $ and spend it on tv- which is basically lighting it on fire because tv ads don’t change the outcome of elections in the last 90 days.
@elonmusk, this isn't just opinion. 30 years of randomized controlled trials back it up. See Get Out the Vote by Donald Green & Alan Gerber (5th ed.), pp. 172–173.
@tylerbowyer @Maloney
If I’m wrong, I’ll eat my words, but I don’t think I am and I want to note this:
I think that the polls are wrong again. I don’t think that they’re off by a 2016 margin (or 2020), but they don’t have to be. I think election night will look a lot like 2022, just in reverse.
As I look around the country, I just don’t believe that Ashley Moody only leads Angie Nixon by 6. I don’t believe that Cindy Hyde-Smith only leads Colom by 4. I don’t believe Kansas is a dead heat, nor do I believe Indiana is, nor do I believe Iowa is (or Minnesota, for that matter).
I think that on election night we’re going to see Max Engling win by 4-6 in Indiana, I think we’ll see Ashley Hinson win in Iowa (and maybe Zach Lahn too), I think we see Paxton walk away in Texas by a few points, and that we see Moody blow it out in Florida. I’d even give Husted and Ramaswamy the edge in Ohio, and probably bet on Rogers right now in Michigan.
The polls don’t have to be that wrong for us to have a solid election night, we just need a few close ones to go our way.
Wow, 4170 illegals arrested in 10 day targeted action in Texas
Let’s go !! 👇
BREAKING: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that ICE just finished a 10-day statewide operation in Texas that resulted in the arrests of 4,170 illegal aliens, an average of 400+ per day and some of the largest daily numbers the agency has ever seen for a single state.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin will hold a press conference in Dallas, TX at 4pm ET to announce the operation, which was called Lone Star Mission, and he will reveal some of the most egregious illegal aliens arrested during the operation.
