Chicago-based Heartland Institute has a position on the issue.

The Heartland Institute has participated in the global debate over climate policy since 1993, when it published an influential book titled Eco-Sanity: A Common-Sense Guide to Environmentalism.

Our position has always been that if human emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases pose a threat to the natural world and human health, then actions to avoid the threat would be necessary.

But if the best-available research shows there is little danger or that there is nothing we can do to prevent climate change, then we should oppose legislation adopted in the name of “stopping” global warming.

So, the eminent Christian leader, Pope Francis, among other opinion-makers and -leaders, certainly has a challenge. Or one would think.

SEIU to the barricades

. . . Sure.

. . . and why not? She’s invoking black privilege.

Why not? If you’ve got it, flaunt it.

Candidates call each other names, then make up after election. I am shocked.

Why make a documentary about Madigan now?

llinois is facing unprecedented challenges. Illinois is home to the worst population loss in the Midwest, the worst employment recovery in the Midwest, the worst credit rating in the nation, the worst pension crisis in the nation and the highest property taxes to boot. It’s not pretty. Madigan has been the kingpin of state politics for decades, and it’s time for a peek behind the curtain of how the political machines in Illinois really work.

The new rudeness.

Not as bad, of course, as what one president experienced while attending a play.

Trump tweeted about it, by the way. He’s not going away, folks. If he were a shrinking violet, the new rudeness could ignore him.

Chicago’s DePaul U. served Shapiro’s Daily Wire one down the middle, the Wire reports unblinking major-daily support.

It’s not just conservatives and leftists who are outraged and speaking out against DePaul University’s decision to ban Daily Wire Editor–In-Chief Ben Shapiro from speaking; the two major Chicago newspapers have now published editorials condemning the decision. The Chicago Sun-Times wrote:

Another case of a university like a ship without a sail . . . a boat without a rudder, a kite without a tail.

As a group, they seem to have lost their bearings, which is bad for the republic, to say the least.
