Mike Madigan does get to select his successor

Posted on February 19, 2021July 13, 2021 By Ray Hanania No Comments on Mike Madigan does get to select his successor
Mike Madigan does get to select his successor

Mike Madigan does get to select his successor The decision on who should succeed #MichaelJMadigan in the #22ndDistrict belongs to the voters, not to the news media media pundits nor to the loudmouthed revolutionaries and activists. The right way to fill the vacancy when Madigan resigned from the Illinois House is to allow the #Democrat…

Trump’s acquittal exposes the hypocrisy of the Far Left

Posted on February 14, 2021July 13, 2021 By Ray Hanania No Comments on Trump’s acquittal exposes the hypocrisy of the Far Left

Trump’s acquittal exposes the hypocrisy of the Far Left The lack of evidence, not cowardly Republicans, brought down the Democrat insurrection of impeachment conviction against Donald Trump. There was less evidence to prove President Trump pushed his followers to violence than evidence that exists that Democrats screaming for Trump impeachment goaded BLM protestors to violence…

Seniors are pushed aside in Illinois COVID-19 vaccination program

Trump trial driven more by politics than truth

Posted on February 10, 2021February 11, 2021 By Ray Hanania No Comments on Trump trial driven more by politics than truth

Trump trial driven more by politics than truth There is absolutely no basis for a conviction of President Trump. Being an unpopular, misogynist and a self-centered egotist is not enough to convict someone for the violence that has plagued this country on both sides for the past five years even before Trump. All they are…

Who is Adam Kinzinger trying to kid?

Who is Adam Kinzinger trying to kid?

Who is Adam Kinzinger trying to kid? After years of supporting former President Donald Trump trying to advance his own career, Congressman Adam Kinzinger of Illinois’ 16th District is pandering to the anti-Trump tar and feathering by the news media and the Left.
