Bullies and cliques plague Nextdoor Social Media site

Posted on May 8, 2021July 13, 2021 By Ray Hanania
Bullies and cliques plague Nextdoor Social Media site

Madigan was never the real issue in the last election

Madigan was never the real issue in the last election Republican leaders in Illinois were easily swept aside and out of office by Democrats in the November 6 General Elections mainly because too much effort was put into personal attacks including against Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan. Voters are far more intelligent than some…
