71% of cook county voters opted to retain Judge Teresa Molina-Gonzalez who released offender Lawrence Reed after his 72nd arrest.
He then set Bethany MaGee on fire while riding Chicago's blue line train.
She starts another 6 year term.
Yay!
As if it could not get worse, Republicans lost seats in each chamber of the Illinois General Assembly. As of today:
Republicans in the IL Senate will go from 19 to 14 of 59 total.
Republicans in the IL House will go from 40 to 34 of 118 total.
Can you say "super duper" majority?
The GOP took a beating in the midterms, but conservative principles won important victories at the ballot box! Voters backed citizenship requirements, voter ID, protections for women's sports, and Second Amendment rights. Conservative principles win! thefederalist.com/2026/11/04โฆ

Election days come and go. But one thing remains the same: God is in control. No matter how you feel about the election results, we must remember that our fellow Americans are not our enemies. We share a common home and the future of our country depends on us. As the great President Abraham Lincoln once said, "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection."
Now is not the time for division or despair. Letโs move forward with unity and a posture of hope. This is America. And our best days are still ahead of us. ๐บ๐ธ

Muslims have a plan to make America a Muslim nation.
Marxists have a plan to make America a Marxist nation.
Secular Progressives have a plan to make America a Secular Progressive nation.
โฆ but Christians seem to always have a plan to keep Christianity from further influencing our nation by discipling people into either:
1) Political apathy (โGod is sovereign, back offโ, โwe donโt get political, just do evangelismโ)
2) Political ambiguity (โJesus isnโt a Republican or Democrat, neither Right nor Leftโ = primary application of gospel to culture)
If continued, this will have very predictable (and disastrous) results in coming years, and a few conversations with pastors in deep blue cities / states trying to build churches, pastor people, and raise Christian families will help you realize it.
I'm sitting down to write an article on the preliminary election results. "Disappointing" doesn't begin to cover it. But I need to sort it all out prayerfully & focus on what matters most & what we must keep front & center. Clarifying our thoughts & emotions in light of Scripture is vital.
Demoncrats will try to spin this as a mandate for their radical agenda. Do not be surprised if they again push open borders, abortion-on-demand, and trans-gender madness. Itโs up to us to hold the line and prove the socialists wrong.
The DOJ just announced 63 new charges for illegal voting & fraudulent registration. This has been discovered in a handful of states, & we know #Illinois voter rolls haven't been examined yet. Are we paying attention yet? ntd.com/doj-charges-63-peoplโฆ

Every conservative @ILGOP in IL, Chicago, COOK County and surrounding counties. This is why this state is BLUE and NOT RED
49 Democrats running un opposed, 40 State House, and 9 State Senate races, 44 Dems un opposed in Cook and surrounding counties. This is why we lose.
Our 20- and 23-year-old kids saw this flyer and immediately said, โThat only strengthens our resolve to vote for Darren.โ They get it: lying Illinois Demoncrats are either clueless or openly defiant of God and His ways.
Iโm hearing reports of very high voter turnout in several key states. Will that favor conservativesโor socialists?
Like JB Pritzker and most #Illinois Demoncrats, Abdul El-Sayed thinks parents who object to confused boys in female private spaces are the problemโnot the mental illness or the protection of our daughters. hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2026โฆ
