I now have a truck with a 50% larger gas tank.

Never a need to pay gas tax to the Ill. State anymore.

It’s a total drive-through....

Mrs L and I will be out of Illinois just as soon as humanly possible. Which is a damned shame. 90% of the State is populated by great people. But Illinois is run by the 4 worst counties in the entire US in my opinion.

Their sheer numbers outvote the rest of the State.

The Democrats will federalize them and you'll pay for them.

This should be illegal. You should have to pay taxes in every state you have ever lived for the rest of your life. 🤡

I am being sarcastic, but you know that’s what they want.

Look at that! Leftists problem solved. And probably by executive order.

it’s not the state of illinois, per se. It’s that sh!t hole known as Chicago that drives politics in Illinois. Get rid of all of the Amsish and you’d have a pretty decent state. Springfield and Bloominton/Normal excluded of course.

Illinois Governor Putzker keeps claiming that the “move out” stories are Fake News.

I was at Oakbrook Mall a year ago and was stunned that it had gone downhill. Then I read they had a shootout outside Nordstrom’s in the Mall. Not the Oakbrook I remember.

“Illinois Governor Putzker keeps claiming that the “move out” stories are Fake News.”

Governor Creosote can’t say the census numbers are fake. Well, he can. And he probably will.

Given the circumference of that guy, I’m amazed there’s room for another 12,670,999 people.

I’d love to move back to Chicago - used to live in a lake front high rise and take morning walks to see the sun rise over North ave beach. It was so nice strolling through Lincoln Park Zoo and get one on one time with the animals when very few people were there. But, alas, I ain’t gonna pay anymoe fo dat corruption and dishonest robbery.

Yea, a couple Cook County feral savages decided to shoot at each other at a fairly upscale mall in the western suburbs. Anyone who’s surprised at this development is a moron.

Mrs L and I no longer go anywhere unarmed.

The perps are in for a bit of a shock, though. The prosecutor here in DuPage is most definitely not a Soros puppet. They’ll get the book thrown at them. And a DuPage jury will convict.

Wrong date in the FR title bar. This article was actually published December 30, 2021, not a year ago as the FR title bar wrongly suggests.
