On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, The White House plans to implement a merit-based proposal to increase the number of legal immigrants allowed to enter the U.S based on merit specifically for employment and skills in specialized vocations. This would limit family chain migration and eliminate the VISA lottery altogether. The U.S knows how to responsibly manage immigration that encourages assimilation and we need to get back to doing it the right way. Then, the president has ordered ships and bombers on high alert and has removed American personnel from some areas of the middle east. While it’s unclear why the United States is taking a defensive posture, what we do know is that Iran has lost 6% of its GDP under President Trump Administration sanctions. We also know that Iran has sponsored terror groups in the region to arm intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) with nuclear devices, as they block off navigable waters preventing other nations from purchasing oil from Iraq. This move would threaten the economic stability of the world—this is not a veiled excuse to go to war as some critics suggest. Later, the media and the free press are not the same thing; our media isn’t about freedom of the press it’s about advancing their political agenda. After, the media continues their slanted reporting and advocacy for the Democrats and anti-Semites like Reps Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. Legal Analyst Jonathan Turley testified in Congress and explained, point blank, that Rule 6 (e) prevents AG William Barr from releasing Rule 6 (e) information like secret Grand Jury information, to do so would be a crime.

Illinois Supreme Court strikes down Chicago rental car tax

CHICAGO (AP) — The Illinois Supreme Court says Chicago can’t force companies to slap a tax on residents who rent cars in the suburbs.

The court says there could be “serious problems” if other cities had the same policy.

Chicago levied a 9 percent tax at car rental companies within 3 miles of the city limits. The Chicago Tribune says the city assumed that a Chicago resident was using the rental car more than half the time in the city.

Enterprise and Hertz filed a lawsuit. A Cook County judge struck down the tax, but an appellate court reversed the decision. The state Supreme Court overturned that ruling Friday.

Chicago defended the tax, saying residents who rent cars nearby should pay a tax for city services.

Kirk Protesters Despite Support of Vote on SCOTUS Nominee

By Nick Gale, WLS News

(CHICAGO)  A group of activists, including those of Move On Dot Org, who want Senate Republicans to vote on the president’s Supreme Court nominee, protested outside of Sen. Mark Kirk’s Chicago office, despite Kirk being one of the only Republicans to say his colleagues should vote.

Kirk told WLS-AM 890 Friday that his colleagues should “man up” and vote on President Barack Obama’s nominee Merrick Garland. So why the protest?

Robert Naiman is a Move On Dot Org volunteer who drove up from Urbana for Monday’s demonstration. He say’s he’s delighted that Kirk has been a standout on the issue, but says that’s not the end of the story. He says Kirk must pressure Senate leaders, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, for a vote.

“So I would ask people of Chicago to keep up the pressure on Mark Kirk until there is a vote on the nomination of Merrick Garland,” Naiman said. “Mark Kirk is not off the hook until there is a vote on the nomination.”

McConnell, who has said the next president should make the nomination, told Garland Thursday that he would not be meeting with him. Garland is a 1970 graduate of Niles West High School.
