The brother and sister team have found a way to destroy a great state and a formerly premier university.

JB and Penny Pritzker are scions of the Hyatt family dynasty. Each has, on paper, had an impressive career of public and private service. Both are destroyers. While they are not twins, they both seem to employ the same techniques to ruin whatever they can get their hands on.

This ploy is reminiscent of John Kerry parking his yacht in a lower-tax state or Bruce Springsteen and others selling their hugely valuable music catalogs before Democratic-inspired taxes kicked in. Democrats are thrilled when you pay more taxes; they themselves always seem to find new ways to avoid paying their own.

Musk related that the IRS had to fix its program as it was never made to accept a payment with 10 figures.

JB will be celebrating seven years as governor of Illinois, and he is apparently thinking about a White House run. Wonder if he would remove the toilets there as well. Poor Putin or King Charles. So, how is my home state, still near and dear to my heart, doing these days? Let’s take a peek:

Now, let’s move over to Pritzker’s older sibling, Penny. She has been a “fellow” of the Harvard Corporation since 2018 and its head honcho since 2022. Under Pritzker, Harvard elevated Claudine Gay from copying other scholars’ research to the position of president of the university. It was under........
