By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

This is the title of an article whose complete and updated title reads as follows: "Outcry as thousands of prisoners are set to be RELEASED from jail when Illinois becomes first state to introduce no cash bail in January: State attorneys desperately sue Gov Pritzker amid fears already spiraling crime will soar."[2]

I brought the article to the attention of someone whom I know that lives in the Chicago area, and whom I have trusted all of my life.  This person's response is as follows:

Tell me about it!  [My wife] and I attended an information session on this topic last week presented by our IL State Representative and our DuPage County Sheriff.  It was standing room only and although most of the attendees were probably Republican, I speculated that a significant portion may have voted Democratic in the last election.  I suspect not many in that room will vote Democratic in the state contests in November.  They were shocked and outraged.  Unfortunately, this topic has not received wide spread coverage locally.  Republican efforts to publicize this more broadly would be the Democrat's worst nightmare.  Local Democrat political advertising has been directed exclusively to abortion in spite of the fact that it's legal in Illinois and won't be changing anytime soon.  Getting this issue squarely in front of the voters (especially suburban voters) has the potential to be a game changer in Illinois politics.  We'll see.

Broad swaths of the American electorate are waking up to what an unmitigated disaster Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi and their Democrats have been.  And yes, lots of us began as Democrats but will never vote for them again in the future.[3]

Even worse is the prospect that one of our enemies might launch a single nation-ending EMP Attack, for which we are not prepared.[4]
