The Left needs to face reality: Trump is winning

Click here: The Democrats loathing for Trump is bone-deep and all-consuming. This is war and they take no prisoners. For most of today’s marchers, border policies offer a chance to vent. But they didn’t make a peep when Obama did exactly the same thing. If children were really their main concern, they could help the 23,000 New York City kids living in shelters. Or they could have attended the funeral of Lesandro Guzman-Feliz, the innocent Bronx teen hacked to death by a Dominican gang. Instead, they give in to Trump Derangement Syndrome, which causes them to immediately and absolutely adopt the opposite position of the president’s — facts and common sense be damned.

Tens of Thousands Flee Illinois over Taxes

Will citizens now flee Burlington over high property taxes too?

Click here: Illinois is losing more citizens every year than nearly every other state. The biggest reason is because the state is simply taxing them out of their homes. Even the Chicago Tribune’s editorial board says it no longer makes any sense to live in Illinois. A Chicago couple who moved out of state said the move gave them back an amazing 25 percent of their income that would no longer be lost to property taxes. So, how is the Illinois state’s legislature reacting to the tens of thousands of constituents leaving every year over high taxes? Well, legislators are proposing a massive tax hike, naturally.
