(The Center Square) – The fallout over comments Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker made about Nazis during his budget address spilled onto the House floor Thursday. For more than five minutes Wednesday, Pritzker ended his address talking about the history of Nazi Germany and warned what he sees as the looming threat in America under the Trump administration. “It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic,” Pritzker said. “All I’m saying is when the five-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.”

Wall Street landlords are dumping houses in Atlanta, GA at big discounts. These landlords include Invitation Homes and FirstKey Homes, and in some cases, they are rushing to sell houses without even doing basic repairs.
This suggests that the US Housing Market is at a tipping point in 2025, as these landlords continue selling houses below market value. This trend started in Florida but is now spreading to other parts of the Southeast. The result is a massive surge in housing supply. With the inventory of homes for sale spiking all across the Atlanta, GA housing market. Particularly south of Atlanta in McDonough, GA where this was filmed.

There’s a lot of debate on whether property taxes is legal or another way of local government taking advantage of local property owners. If it was before, I would say to STOP with conspiracy theories and just pay your taxes and do your fair share on paying property taxes so city services can continue. However, there was as major wakeup call after Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered major fraud and corruption, anything i hear about fraud and corruption is open game. I will do more research about if property owners need to pay these exorbitant property taxes or if local government is screwing us average homeowners. In the meantime please watch the attached video clip which is informative 👍

We traveled back to historic Cairo, Illinois to check on the status of the endangered structures still standing there. Well known to photographers who shoot abandoned places, Cairo is a town beset by a severe decline, leaving it with many abandoned buildings, some of which have become iconic, but all of which are still standing on borrowed time. What is still standing and what has been removed.

Oakwood, Fithian, Ridge Farm, Sidell, Rankin, Muncie, Illinois that is? Ever heard of these towns? No? That’s why I’m here because in this video I take you to a handful of dying towns that are in Vermilion County, Illinois that are all losing population fast. These towns depended on the railroad, coal and salt mining industries when they were being built. Those industries have all left the area a long time ago, and nothing has taken their place. This region is depressing and it shows through the abandonment that’s seen in these towns, not to mention the county seat of Danville which is has its own video. https://youtu.be/rNSjcGsONhM?si=iSL2WjdyL-wR-bst

DePue, Illinois is likely a place that you’ve never heard of, even if you live in the state of Illinois. It’s located about 2 hours west of Chicago along the Illinois River, or about an hour north of Peoria. The town’s economy thrived off of a large industrial plant in the early 90’s. Unfortunately that plant has made half of the town a Superfund site. A giant pile of toxic waste towers above most of the town, and nothing is being done about it.

At first glance, West Chicago seems like the perfect place to settle down—surrounded by affluent suburbs, home to the DuPage Airport, and nestled in the economic heart of Illinois. But hidden beneath the surface is a decades-old radioactive disaster that still lingers today.
This video dives deep into the history of the Kerr-McGee rare-earths facility, where thorium processing left behind toxic waste that spread throughout the community. From the radioactive mounds at the old factory site to contaminated creeks and even private yards, the aftermath of this environmental catastrophe is still felt by residents. Despite cleanup efforts, can we really trust that all the waste will ever be removed? Or will West Chicago remain a cautionary tale of corporate negligence and unfulfilled promises?Join me as I uncover the shocking truth behind West Chicago’s radioactive past and the lasting impact on its people.

Illinois ranks as the worst state in many fiscal categories, and the residents are being forced to pay the price. The residents have had enough, and now they’re leaving the state. In this video I bring along Dylan Sharkey, an Assistant Editor at Illinois Policy to help explain how extreme property taxes, high pension debts and corruption have all lead towards Illinois being among the fastest declining states in the nation. Illinois needs competent politicians. The state is under the leadership of JB Pritzker, one of the most incompetent politicians in the nation. Chicago is under fire leadership of Mayor Brandon Johnson another incompetent politicians in the nation. It’s like the dumb leader the dumbest.
