Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) pledged to launch a campaign to boost radical sex change procedures in his state in response to Donald Trump’s landslide election.

One of deep-blue Chicago’s 50 wards voted heavily for President-elect Donald Trump in 2024, but the area was not the only pocket of voters to favor the Republican nominee for president on Election Day. According to a look at the voting data assembled by Chicagoan Frank Calabrese, the 41st Ward in Chicago’s upper west side was truly MAGA country after a majority pulled the lever for a Republican presidential candidate for the first time since 1992. Interestingly, it turns out the 41st Ward is one of the most popular parts of the city for Chicago Police officers to live. But...

And for me, that is really important.”

San Francisco 49ers player Jonathan Feliciano, who is of Puerto Rican heritage, is blasting the left and the media for attacking a comedian who appeared at Donald Trump’s huge rally at Madison Square Garden last weekend.

But NFL player Feliciano was not at all offended. The 49ers guard took to his X account to scold people for getting mad at a comedian. “The only Puerto Ricans...

The small town of Logansport, Indiana, has not been spared the disastrous effects of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s border crisis.

Actor John Leguizamo has taken out a full-page ad in the New York Times to urge industry insiders voting for Emmy Awards nominees to vote for “non-white artists” because there isn’t enough “inclusion” in the entertainment industry. “America is better when it is inclusive,” the Spawn star wrote. “It is more profitable. It is more creative! Let’s not give up. I’m still woke! Are you?” “Please let this be the year we finally embrace change,” Leguizamo’s ad began. “The year we truly find Equity, and see artists of color represented across not just one category, but ALL categories.”

Roberts explained that she wants people she meets overseas to be excited that she is American and she exclaimed, “I want...

Self-professed “progressive” Chicago Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson got an earful over his failed migrant policies from an elderly black resident at a recent town hall. The woman, who said she was 80 years old and grew up in the Jim Crow South, said that Johnson’s pro-migrant policies are literally destroying the Windy City’s black communities. “All I can say to you is that you are a disgrace,” the distraught woman said at the outset of her comments. “I’m an 80-year-old woman, and I’ve never seen anything like this. I grew up in the Jim Crow South, and the policies that...

Soros-backed Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx preemptively announced that she will not prosecute protesters who are “peaceful” at the Democratic National Convention (DNC). This sudden turn toward leniency runs against what she claimed in April, Wirepoints reported. Despite the attention to “peaceful” protesters, Foxx also announced ahead of time that she will not prosecute anyone arrested for misdemeanors — such as disorderly conduct, public demonstration, unlawful gathering, criminal trespass to state-supported land, and even curfew charges. The policy is not new, though. The prosecutor, who was given a $408,000 donation from a George Soros super PAC in 2016, has...

Democrat Gov. Maura Healey of Massachusetts is reportedly sending officials to the southern border in Texas to steer migrants away from coming to her state. The staffers have reportedly appeared in Brownsville, Hidalgo, McAllen, and San Antonio, to tell migrants in shelters that Massachusetts is full and has no room for more illegal border crossers. The sudden move comes after months of Healey’s advocacy and budget allowances for migrants.

The Washington Post is celebrating a man from the African country of Mauritania who is helping more poor Muslim migrants crowd into Cincinnati apartments and houses, straining the town’s resources and apparently breaking occupancy laws.
