Illinois, the Most Sinister State in America
Today we discuss another piece of unconstitutional gun control legislation to come from teh State of Illinois but we are not so much going to focus on what was done, but how it was done. Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses HB 4144 a new and massive expansion of Illinois Red Flag laws and other statutes that permit the State to now confiscate far more firearms than before. But it's not what was done here, but how it was done...again. This will be definitive proof that there is no state in the union more sinister than Illinois. So learn more today and arm yourself with education.
Read HB 4144 here. https://ilga.gov/legislation/billstatus.asp?DocNum=4144&GAID=17&GA=103&DocTypeID=HB&LegID=150549&SessionID=112

The TRUTH Behind the Illinois MASS EXODUS
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 union.
0:00 - 2:11 Illinois is a hot bag of vomit
2:11 - 6:24 Property Taxes
6:24 - 10:57 Other Taxes
10:57 - 13:12 Record breaking office vacancy rates in Chicagoland

Unboxing Illinois: What It's Like Living In Illinois
Is Illinois more than corn, cornhole and Cubs and Cardinals fans? If you've ever been in Illinois you likely only went to one of the largest cities in the U.S; Chicago. If for whatever reason you found yourself further South you'd probably just get lost in a bunch of cornfields until you turned around and went back to Chicago.
Ah, Illinois. What a beautiful state. Home to Abraham Lincoln (our finest president), the state can really be divided up into four parts. You’ve got 'snobby' Chicago metro area, a small area that can be defined as Chicago suburbs, a section of Illinois that might as well be Wisconsin, and the rest of the state. The rest of Illinois is very large, and very much looks the same.
Now, since Chicago has a large part of the state’s population (17 percent to be exact), w...

The Shocking Truths Why People Won't Move to Illinois
Did you know that Illinois is third among the states seeing the highest levels of people leaving? In fact, Illinois’ population decreased by 1.6% between 2020 and 2022, with 91 out of 102 Illinois counties losing residents in 2022, and over 100,000 residents leaving the state between 2021 and 2022. For reference, the fastest growing states in the US are Utah, which has seen 15% population growth, Idaho, at 14%, and Texas, at 13%. But why are people leaving Illinois – and why aren’t people moving to it? Well, today on Across the Globe we’re going to look at the reasons why people won’t move to Illinois.

Illinois and Indiana
Two bordering Midwestern states in these United States. Both also border Lake Michigan and the Ohio River.
And yes, both have a lot in common, starting with the fact that, according to some metrics, both share Chicagoland, or the Chicago metropolitan area. Well yeah, sure Chicagoland is mostly in Illinois, as is...well...Chicago, the third largest city in the country, but Northwest Indiana is also often lumped into the Chicago metro. Chicagoland makes up around 65% of the entire population of Illinois and 10% of the entire population of Indiana.
Both are part of the Rust Belt, a region of the country known for declining industry and run down factories. Even decades after most of these factories have shut down, several cities in both states continue to lose population each year.
And yet, manufacturing is still a major industry in both. Indiana is the country’s leading steel producer and second largest car manufacturing state. Illinois is known for making machinery, electrical equipment, transportation equipment, and food processing. Related to this, both rank towards the bottom of all 50 states in terms of pollution, although Illinois ranks better.
Other major industries in both include healthcare, retail, and education.
The average age of residents in both is the same. (38)
The biggest religion in both is Christianity, but of those more identify as Roman Catholic in Illinois and more identify as Evangelical Protestant in Indiana. Oh, and Illinois residents are more religious, overall.
Both have very similar climates. Specifically, a humid continental climate throughout most of the states, and humid subtropical climate in the southern portions. Basically, the further south you go in both states, the more precipitation and the more hot it gets in the summer and less cold it gets in the winter. Both get tornadoes, but flooding is definitely the most common natural disaster in both. For thousands of years, various American Indian tribes lived in the area.
Illinois gets its name from another French dude named René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, who explored the area in the 1600s. He named a river after a group of American Indian tribes known collectively as the Illinois Confederation, or Illiniwek, which translates to “the best people.” A Philadelphia trading company promptly came out that way to make some money, and, long story short, ended up working out a deal to get some land out there. They called the area “Indiana,” or “Land of the Indians.” Wow, how creative.

Illinois and Indiana
Two bordering Midwestern states in these United States. Both also border Lake Michigan and the Ohio River.
And yes, both have a lot in common, starting with the fact that, according to some metrics, both share Chicagoland, or the Chicago metropolitan area. Well yeah, sure Chicagoland is mostly in Illinois, as is...well...Chicago, the third largest city in the country, but Northwest Indiana is also often lumped into the Chicago metro. Chicagoland makes up around 65% of the entire population of Illinois and 10% of the entire population of Indiana.
Both are part of the Rust Belt, a region of the country known for declining industry and run down factories. Even decades after most of these factories have shut down, several cities in both states continue to lose population each year.
And yet, manufacturing is still a major industry in both. Indiana is the country’s leading steel producer and second largest car manufacturing state. Illinois is known for making machinery, electrical equipment, transportation equipment, and food processing. Related to this, both rank towards the bottom of all 50 states in terms of pollution, although Illinois ranks better.
Other major industries in both include healthcare, retail, and education.
The average age of residents in both is the same. (38)
The biggest religion in both is Christianity, but of those more identify as Roman Catholic in Illinois and more identify as Evangelical Protestant in Indiana. Oh, and Illinois residents are more religious, overall.
Both have very similar climates. Specifically, a humid continental climate throughout most of the states, and humid subtropical climate in the southern portions. Basically, the further south you go in both states, the more precipitation and the more hot it gets in the summer and less cold it gets in the winter. Both get tornadoes, but flooding is definitely the most common natural disaster in both. For thousands of years, various American Indian tribes lived in the area.
Illinois gets its name from another French dude named René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, who explored the area in the 1600s. He named a river after a group of American Indian tribes known collectively as the Illinois Confederation, or Illiniwek, which translates to “the best people.” A Philadelphia trading company promptly came out that way to make some money, and, long story short, ended up working out a deal to get some land out there. They called the area “Indiana,” or “Land of the Indians.” Wow, how creative.

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 union.
0:00 - 2:11 Illinois is a hot bag of vomit
2:11 - 6:24 Property Taxes
6:24 - 10:57 Other Taxes
10:57 - 13:12 Record breaking office vacancy rates in Chicagoland
13:12 - 15:33 Regulations
15:33 - 18:00 Corruption

Unboxing Illinois: What It's Like Living In Illinois

Is Illinois more than corn, cornhole and Cubs and Cardinals fans? If you've ever been in Illinois you likely only went to one of the largest cities in the U.S; Chicago. If for whatever reason you found yourself further South you'd probably just get lost in a bunch of cornfields until you turned around and went back to Chicago.
Ah, Illinois. What a beautiful state. Home to
Abraham Lincoln (our finest president), the state can really be divided up into four parts. You’ve got 'snobby' Chicago metro area, a small area that can be defined as Chicago suburbs, a section of Illinois that might as well be Wisconsin, and the rest of the state. The rest of Illinois is very large, and very much looks the same.
Now, since Chicago has a large part of the state’s population (17 percent to be exact), we'll be starting there. Don't worry though, we'll be covering all the action that takes place in the rest of Illinois, too. Try not to fall asleep when we get to that part.
Let's be real, Chicago is by far the most common reason for going to Illinois, bringing in 58 million visitors in 2018. A new record! With that many people coming and going, you'll have a hard time finding any parking, as most Chicagoans will tell you. Especially when it snows.
The heart of Chicago, The Loop, is synonymous with the downtown area of Chicago. Here you'll find everything from concerts and festivals to famous art pieces like Cloud Gate, which everyone just lovingly calls 'The Bean'
You'll find most of the safest spots in Chicago from the Loop and up north.
Next we have the Near North Side, probably the best place to live in the city. (If you can afford it) It's located just North of the beautiful Chicago River, the only river in the world that flows backwards.
Here, people are wealthy, and quite frankly, could be considered yuppies.
This is home to Chicago’s famous Magnificent Mile and The Original Gino’s East of Chicago. The best pizza in Chicago, depending on who you ask.
Of course Chicago is known for it's awesome food. Whether it's the no ketchup ever Chicago style hotdogs or the famous dish dish pizzas that commonly have wait times of over an hour, you'll find it in here.
Outside of Chicago you have the Chicago suburbs. This is where the wealthy, rich, smart, snobby people live. Places like Buffalo Grove, Naperville and Clarendon Hills always rank in terms of the best places to live in the entire country. The Chicago suburbs have much more greenways, parks and lots of places to swim and fish. There’s a good sense of community here.
People from Chicago can come across as snobby, possibly just because they love their city so much. But people from the rest of Illinois can't seem to agree with them on anything. This includes everything from politics and ideals to fashion and pizza toppings.
What about the weather? Well, it’s a gray, cold sort of place for most of the year. Winters in Illinois seem to start in October, and you can still expect a freak snowstorm in May. You basically get two good months a year - June and October. That’s really it. Summer is measured when the local ice cream shop opens up.
But all that miserable winter weather doesn’t stop mushroom season from happening every Spring. If you’ve never hunted for morel mushrooms, it’s actually pretty fun. Illinois folks NEVER tell others about their secret mushroom hunting spots.

Our goal is to combine recent data, fun videos, and thoughts about local culture into bite-sized snacks of shareable information. We call it bite-sized regional infotainment. We try to paint a picture of what’s happening in a region based on “Friday Night Science” — how’d you argue at a bar. To do that, we gather data from around the web to help determine a wide array of factors about where you live, things like safety, desirability, and culture.
