BERG: Hold on to your wallets, Springfield back in session for 2018

State lawmakers will start returning to their perches in Springfield Jan. 23. What can Illinoisans expect? 2017 left a bad taste in the mouths of many. The year began with an impasse and ended in a torrent of treacherous policy choices. In exchange for waiting out a historic budget logjam, Illinoisans were rewarded with the largest permanent income tax hike in the Land of Lincoln’s history. And state lawmakers couldn’t even balance the budget with that extra money, as they […]

The Healthy Geezer: I’m not able to sleep as well as I used to when I was younger

I have found that I don't sleep as well as I used to when I was younger. How common is this? Many people believe that poor sleep is a normal part of aging, but it is not.  Sleep patterns change as we age, but disturbed sleep and waking up tired every day are not part of normal aging. Seniors need about the same amount of sleep as younger adults—seven to nine hours a night. Unfortunately, many older adults don’t get […]

KRISTIAN: No, Donald Trump is not a libertarian president by any measure

The American Conservative is a reliable source of thoughtful commentary, and an outlet to which I am happy to contribute on occasion. For these reasons I was prepared to give a fair reading to a Monday article, “Donald Trump: The Most Libertarian President Since Silent Cal,” by Ryan James Girdusky — as much as the headline inclined me otherwise. Unfortunately, no reading can make Girdusky’s case persuasive. President Trump is not libertarian by any measure, not even the extremely low bar of being the most […]

COMMENTARY: Trump IS NOT remotely close to being a “libertarian” president

Shortly after 11 PM last night, I received an alert from Google with an as-it-happens update (as that is a way we do find our news sometimes) and the headline from this particular article made me want to puke because the word was taken way out of context. I'm referring to an article written by The American Conservative and Red Alert Politics columnist Ryan Girdusky, entitled "Donald Trump: The Most Libertarian President Since Silent Cal." Nothing can be further from […]

CAMPANELLA: Time to focus on school choice in Illinois and across America

Later this month, schools, homeschool groups, organizations, and individuals in Illinois and across America will work together to raise awareness about the importance of opportunity in K-12 education.

Nationwide, 32,240 different events and activities – such as open houses, school fairs, and information sessions – are being planned, with an estimated attendance of 6.7 million people. In fact, 1037 of those events and […]

The Healthy Geezer: Baby-sitting grandparent seems to get more colds

Since I started being a baby-sitting grandparent, I seem to be getting more colds. I must be catching germs from the kids, right? The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases reports that schoolchildren get as many as 12 colds a year. Put those kids near their grandparents and it doesn’t take a scientist to know that those colds are going to spread. My personal physician--also a grandfather--says that one of the problems is that these walking petri dishes come […]

Mac’s Korner: Week of January 3, 2018

Mac's Korner: Week of January 3, 2018 If my body is ever found dead on a jogging trail, just know I was murdered elsewhere and dumped there. ……. People say I'm dumb, but I earned a Ph.D. in Poopology, so there! ……. I don't mean to brag, but I put a puzzle together in one day and the box said 2-4 years. ……. Life status: currently holding it all together with one bobby pin. ……. Yabba dabba dude...is that you, […]

Mac’s Korner: Week of December 27, 2017

Mac's Korner: Week of December 27, 2017 Take from a man his wealth, and you hinder him. Take from him his purpose, and you slow him down. But take from man his hope, and you stop him. He can go on without wealth, and even without purpose, for a while. But he will not go on without HOPE. ……. A man called his mother in Florida, "Mom, how are you?" "Not too good," said the mother. "I've been very weak." […]

We’re back online! Here’s why we were offline

We're glad you're back with us! We also appreciate your patience since we experienced some issues late Saturday night. Here is what happened (and will try to keep this simple): In the period of three hours in the late hours of Saturday night, we were getting slammed with notifications from our server monitoring software that two of our databases which handle the majority of the website's content were crashing, citing that they had ran out of memory. After roughly 200 […]
