Illinois Gas Station Owners Sue Over Having

Gas prices are high everywhere. They’ve risen so much that several states have suspended their gas tax, while others are considering doing so. And then there’s Illinois. The Democrat-dominated legislature in Illinois is so magnanimous that they’re not suspending their gas tax, but they’re delaying increasing it until the end of the year. I know — how thoughtful of them. “As part of this year’s budget, Democrats delayed for six months the 2.2-cent-a-gallon gasoline tax increase that was set to take effect in July,” explains the Wall Street Journal editorial board. In 2019 Democrats doubled the gas tax to 38 cents a gallon and indexed it to inflation.”

It's Illinois...and the state is in deep financial trouble thanks to the legislature's generosity to every Democrat special interest in many ways. The public votes them in. Now they can live with the high tax consequences. I was once an Illinois resident who could read the handwriting on the wall years ago. From that standpoint, I have no sympathy. Can the state compel such a sticker? It would set a terrible precedent, and I don't see how the state can argue that it must be posted by law. It presents no needed public information, shilling a "tax break" delayed. If the courts rule otherwise, these owners have every right to post their own stickers...starting with grinning fool Biden saying "I did that!" pointing to the price.

Eff Illinois!!!! When we were taking our gun safety course to get our carry permit the instructor was talking about states to avoid if you are driving through and have your gun. He told us Illinois is the worse, the state troopers would run your license plate and if you had a CP they'd pull you over to see if your gun was readily available, if it was they'd confiscate it and fine you heavily or throw you in jail. He said if there is no way to go around unload your gun put the ammo in a sock with a knot and store them in 2 different places. That way it's not "readily available."

I got a compromise. The gas station owners have to post the "Your Democrat friends are keeping from picking your pocket for another 2.2 cents until after the election" sticker. And another sticker, close to the price pump with pictures of Joe Biden and the fat Illinois governor saying "We did this!". Who says we can't compromise?

While the lawsuit proceeds the gas station personnel should post their own sign that points a graphic finger (or arrow) toward the mandated sign, and the station's sign can read something like "Against our First Amendment rights, Illinois politicians made us post this self-serving propaganda."

Every time the Dems raise the gas tax, the owners should put that in a sign.

This week, Nikole Hannah-Jones of the 1619 Project tweeted, "Black people posed a danger to the country's idea of itself; they held up a mirror into which the nation preferred not to peer. So the inhumanity visited on Black people by every generation of white America justified the inhumanity of the past and the inequality of the present." She added, "The North did not fight the Civil War to end slavery." At the start of the Civil War, she was, technically correct.

Karl Marx is one of the most well-known deadbeats of 19th-century history. So inept (or perhaps incapable) of financial provision, his wife once sold his last pair of pants for food; consistently delinquent on rent, he used fake names to dodge creditors; and in a letter to his friend-turned-sponsor Engels, Marx’s mother wrote, “if only Karl made capital instead of just writing about it.” Given the fact he offered nothing substantial, to either his family or society, it should come as no surprise that he “birthed the toxic tenet of communism.” In his writing, he discussed his hatred for property owners (again, predictable response from an envious freeloader).

I bet Don Lemon only prays when there is a mass shooting. “Please, God, let the gunman be white.” The lefty sitzpinkler at CNN came up with snake eyes yesterday because the shooter is Hispanic. That changes the narrative for the left. Here is their playbook: When the shooter is white, the problem is “white supremacy.” White people are evil and here is the proof. When the shooter is a minority, blame easy access to guns, usually by attacking the NRA, which is run by “selfish, conservative, white, gun nuts.” The race of the shooter has nothing to do with it.

As the nation sinks inexplicably into self-created crisis after crisis, debate rages whether President Joe Biden is incompetent, mean-spirited, or an ideologue who feels the country’s mess is his success. A second national discussion revolves around who actually is overseeing the current national catastrophe, given Biden’s frequent bewilderment and cognitive challenges. But one area of agreement is the sheer craziness of Biden’s cabinet appointments, who have translated his incoherent ideology into catastrophic governance. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has essentially nullified federal immigration law. Over 2 million foreign nationals have illegally crossed the southern border without audit — and without COVID vaccinations and tests during a pandemic.

For God's sake, Mister President, don't turn this tragedy into cheap political capital. I just watched President Joe Biden take a stab at playing the role of America's "mourner in chief," a role his Democratic predecessor, Bill Clinton, managed quite well. That may, in fact, have been the only thing Clinton did that actually helped the country. For all his many failings, Clinton knew the importance of helping people cope with tragedy. Unfortunately, Joe Biden didn't crib this page from Bill Clinton's playbook. He made it partisan fairly quickly, blaming the tragedy on the "gun lobby" and "gun manufacturers." Yet he started out well.

No, and here’s why.

President Joe Biden has been lecturing white Americans about hate again. On May 15, the day after an 18-year-old white supremacist massacred ten black shoppers in a Buffalo supermarket, Biden called on Americans to “address the hate that remains a stain” on the country’s soul. Those stained by hate were not named by race, but the reference was clear. Two days later, Biden gave a longer speech in Buffalo about the attack. In Biden’s telling, white Americans are at best indifferent to the racist slaughter of their fellow black citizens. “We need to say as clearly and forcefully as we can that the ideology of white supremacy

Apparently, being illegally present in the U.S. is now a "right" rather than a criminal act, and not even a "privilege" when done legally. For some 60,000 would-be illegal border-crossers amassed at the U.S. border, it's now a "right." This is why we're seeing would-be illegal border-crossers now holding protests in cities such as Tijuana as a judge's order on Title 42 forces the Border Patrol to turn back tens of thousands of unvetted entries into the States.

Currently, the only such vehicles she could consider are Ford's huge F-150 Lightning truck, which will be released later this year, or a Chevy Bolt. The Democrat told the network that she purchased her Model 3 in 2020 around the time that the Covid-19 began.

According to people who were present at the scene, terrified parents were yelling at police officers to charge the school for 40 minutes until a Border Patrol team finally took him down. “Go in there! Go in there!” parents reportedly shouted. Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) told CNN the standoff occurred after shots had been fired, during which there was a lull in the action. He said:
