    Thanks for a Good 6 Years, Georgia

    Georgia voters handed the Democrats nearly the whole state government yesterday. Keisha Lance Bottoms beat Republican Rick Jackson for governor, making her the first Democrat to win the office since 1998. Democrats also took lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, state school superintendent, and the commissioners of agriculture, insurance, and labor. They swept every…

    Two governors and two states moving in opposite directions

    The midterm elections of 2022 proved I was right to get the hell out of Illinois. Georgia re-elected Brian Kemp and Illinois re-elected JB Pritzker. Not only did the citizens of Illinois re-elect Pritzker they also voted in favor of changing the Illinois Constitution to codify special rights to labor unions. The State of Illinois…

Without it he would not have been able to buy the guns or ammo within the state.

    You must register with the state if you wish to handle firearms in the State of Illinois. You must obtain a Firearm Owners Identification card (FOID). There is a 72 hour waiting period when purchasing guns. There is a red flag law in place which is supposed to prevent unstable people from buying guns. For…

  • Once a voter in Cook County Illinois always a voter in Cook County Illinois

    Once a voter in Cook County Illinois always a voter in Cook County Illinois

    I canceled my Illinois voter registration in December of 2020 because I moved to Georgia. I received a confirmation from the county that it is canceled. Then today I received an email letting me know I could now vote by mail. Cook County is either incompetent, corrupt, or both. What am I thinking… no question……
