Man, is JB gonna sour the water for ANY Democrats down there, tee hee....

 

Madiganstan's foundations are crumbling under this dilettante.

 

Ol' Mike might just have to dump another Governor into the klink.

 

 

 

Remember, ultimately we escaped NY type concealed carry because Southern Illinois Democrat voters presented a credible risk to Ol' mikey's speakership.

Too many D seats were in play in an environment where the red meat of carry or D seats turning R were the menu.

I heard there might be a Grand American World protest in Sparta this year.

 

They are doing just that in North carolina..

 

North Carolina speedway shirks Dem gov, hosts thousands by declaring race night a ‘peaceful protest’

 

Ace Speedway in North Carolina reportedly welcomed 2,000-plus spectators on Saturday night after declaring itself as “a peaceful protest of injustice and inequality everywhere.”

 

Lockdown-loving Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper is not happy because the event at the racetrack supposedly violates his phase 2 executive order that limits public gatherings to 25 people along with social distancing.

 

Cooper, however, marched with protesters in Raleigh on June 1 apparently without abiding by social distancing guidelines.

 

In the name of public health, governors primarily in blue states aggressively went after citizens who violated what amounted to house arrest during the coronavirus pandemic, but immediately abandoned concerns about mass gatherings as soon as the George Floyd protests heated up.

 

According to the governor’s office which in a four-page letter encouraged the Alamance County Sheriff to intervene, the track located in Elon, N.C. allowed more than 2,000 fans into the venue on May 23, and held another race on May 30 in which more than 25 people showed up without face masks and were mingling close together.

 

...

Unfortunately after they did it for a 3rd time...their lousy gov shut down the track completely...

(But allows rioting...hypocrite much?)

...

Ace Speedway is a small business. The track holds about 4,000 people at full occupancy and was holding events at about half that by the time the governor stepped in and ordered it shut down. According to North Carolina Health Secretary Mandy Cohen, “We needed to take this action because mass gatherings do spread the virus.” Despite being outdoors, the raceway was only allowed to have 25 people in attendance, even after declaring by a sign out front that “this Event is held in Peaceful Protest of Injustice and Inequality Everywhere.” As Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson rightly noted, “What's the difference between them having a unity night to try and bring our community together after the shooting of Mr. George Floyd to work together to have some of these issues dealt with? That's no different than the governor marching with 2,000 people in downtown Raleigh.”

 

Cooper, like other city and state leaders across the country, is trying to have the lockdown both ways. Cooper had to back down from allowing protesters supporting reopening to be arrested after acknowledging he couldn’t crack down on First Amendment rights. Yet, this didn’t extend to religious services, where the courts had to overrule him. Nor did it count for Ace Speedway, which had decided to hold a protest of its own.

 

Cooper is still unsure about where to stand on several coronavirus restrictions. North Carolina restaurants are allowed to seat customers outdoors, but Cooper vetoed a bill that would grant bars the same privilege. Thousands can march in the streets of Raleigh and Charlotte, and Cooper will join them, but no more than 25 people are allowed at a racetrack, even one holding its own protest. North Carolina businesses shut down for months, with people losing their jobs and their livelihoods. As the nationwide protests have shown, the lockdown is over, and Gov. Cooper should start facilitating the return of his state.

The man is tone deaf to economic needs of southern Illinois . . . there are ways to make this work. . . and it's in August 2 mos. away

 

 

He's never had to earn a living in his life, so he can't understand the need for people to do so.

 

Tone deaf.

That's all part of the plan to hurt the economy as much as possible.

Trump had/has a good economy and we can't go back to that, anything to prevent the V shaped recovery, keep people scared and miserable, and out of work.

Pritzker never believed in the shutdown, social distancing, otherwise he would not have left his family travel or he himself march with protestors in tight quarters.

.....He cancelled the State Fair and the DuQuoin State Fair by EO.....

 

Well, this year will break my streak. I think my wife and I had been to five IL State Fairs in a row.

 

No butter cow.

 

On a serious note, I'm sorry to see the vendors (and Springfield and the surrounding area) lose the business.

If you think it's bad down in Southern Illinois, it's worse in the NW Suburbs, they literally don't believe we exist except when it comes to election time. It's always the NorthShore and Chicago getting special treatment.

He probably hopped up and down and hugged himself (or whomever thought of it) in joy once he figured out how to permanently kill the facility, "sticking it to the gunnies"...

Like so many politicians in Springfield, they will say anything, do anything, to stay in power. If that includes screwing anything or anybody downstate, they won't hesitate to do so. And, considering how much they detest gun owners, and how mismanaged the ISP/FOID process has become, they will do whatever they can to stick it to gun owners. :wacko: :Loony:
