@royalpratt That's chump change and, with contributions alone, he brought in far more than that.

Dan Proft may not know how to win elections. But he does know how to get paid $25,000 a month by Ted Dabrowski’s campaign while helping him get less than 30 percent of the vote.

Congratulations to all those who voted Preckwinkle. You just condemned Cook County to four more years of incompetent, dishonest leadership, bloated budgets, idiotic judges, the mollycoddling of violent criminals, high taxes, and dysfunctional government.

Failing Schools Place Politics Over Academics. Chicago highlighted. tippinsights.com/failing-school…

Far too many American schools focus on politics & protests, not learning & achievement. Consider the case of Lincoln Park High School — an upscale neighborhood of Chicago’s north side… My new @DailySignal piece: dailysignal.com/2026/03/05/fai…

It’s March, which means we are being subjected the dumbest annual study going about how well #Chicago is doing. wirepoints.org/worse-than-wor…

For 8 years, Kim Foxx colluded with lawyers who masquerade as civil rights advocates. These “civil rights” lawyers sued Chicago to free violent criminals including those involved with murders, many of whom were released on claims of police misconduct, not exculpatory evidence showing innocence. After their release, these criminals filed multi-million-dollar suits against Chicago, and they and their lawyers raked in millions. These lawsuits have cost Chicago $1.1 billion since 2008. Foxx may be gone, but well over 200 “wrongful conviction” lawsuits are pending that could cost Chicago billions more.

Across the nation, half of all the exonerations and the cost of lawsuits that followed have involved Chicago Police. Suing Chicago Police has become a billion-dollar racket ignored by the media that falsely characterize the exonerations and multi-million-dollar settlements as evidence of police misconduct.

This demands a DOJ investigation. Violent criminals are released and many become millionaires.

Chicago taxpayers are getting fleeced. When you cast your ballot for County Board President, remember it was Toni Preckwinkle who handpicked Kim Foxx to carry out the exoneration racket.

The ridiculousness of having to clear LasSalle Street (sidewalk & road) to make way for the mayor is an affront to our sensibilities.

A rare moment of agreement from a prominent voice on the left has reignited debate over governance in America’s largest cities, as Wirepoints founder @GlennonMarkE joined @DanProft to dissect what they described as the predictable consequences of runaway public spending.

Govt Housing policies ruined my hometown! Park Forest IL was full of happy middle class families, with lots of kids, living in large affordable homes. It’s struggling now and has 16% of kids reading at grade level. Stop the war on families and suburbs!
