Good news: Illinois will be spared when the world ends
by David Freddoso
 | January 23, 2019 05:00 PM



J.B. Pritzker, the new governor of Illinois, has begun his reign with the symbolic signing of his state back on to the Paris climate agreement:

It means Illinois will abide by the Paris agreement that aims at reducing greenhouse-gas emissions by up to 28 percent by 2025. Former President Barack Obama signed the U.S. onto the Paris accord in 2016 but President Donald Trump withdrew months later.

Pritzker's order also directs the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to monitor the Trump administration's environmental proposals and look for ways to "protect Illinoisans from environmental harm."



This means Illinois will be spared when the world ends in 12 years, right? Well, no, I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. But if you do especially want Illinois to be spared for some reason, perhaps it will at least make you feel better about yourself.

Paris was a nonbinding agreement. More importantly, its terms would not be nearly ambitious enough to save the world, were its continued existence truly threatened as some contend.

Not much chance of that, but be of good cheer:  the "odds" are very good that the governor will wind up in jail.

Illinoisans (leave out the last "i") are the residents of Illinois, not to be confused with Illini (members of an Indian tribe, made famous by the "Fighting Illini").

When I was last there it was Illini. But then that was better than three decades ago. Last I went back was for my honeymoon.

So is it 'Illinoiyans' then?

I certainly knew it was not Illi-noisy-ans.

Illinois has bigger immediate problems that a meteor or climate change
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

I used to go to southern Ill when I was a kid to visit relatives...and get me out of my parent's hair, lol.

On a whim a couple of years ago, I looked up the small town they lived in. It was a coal mining town.  It is now a ghost town....the same with the surrounding towns that I can remember.

The bad news is that Illinois' ex-governors will no longer have any car owners for whom to make license plates.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

He was good buddies with Blago and *rumored* to be willing to pay off Blago for Senate seat...there was a tape of the two talking about it and played for the voters..but the voters voted his fat ass into the Gov mansion.... :shrug:

What the president has tried to do in the last 24 hours is illegal.
His actions threatened millions of Illinoisans' access to health care, food, and even fuel to heat their homes. I will stay vigilant in defense of IL because if you come for my people, you come through me.

Did you know this fat f*ck is a scam artist who bought the mansion next to his and purposely wrecked it, so he could lower property taxes on his giant mansion? 
"Pritzker had intentionally caused a mansion he had purchased next door to his home to become uninhabitable by removing its toilets. He then appealed his original property tax assessment because the newly built property was uninhabitable; the assessor reduced the home's value from $6.25 million to $1.1 million, which granted Pritzker an 83% property tax reduction, equal to about $230,000 per annum. The Cook County inspector general accused Pritzker of a scheme to defraud the county. Federal authorities later opened an investigation into the matter."
Pritzker is worth $3.7 billion.

With Newsom’s career smoldering in California, Pritzker smells an opportunity for 2028.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
