More Panic Attacks? and Private EMS Detail for Chicago Mayor
Somehow, the media is missing this “open secret” for a while now:
….apparently our fearless leader, Brandon Johnson, has been hospitalized for approximately 40 panic attacks this year alone. Awhile back Brandon started the CARE Program (Light Blue Sprinter Vans with Chicago flags) to help mitigate the Mental Health Crisis by having a special team staffed by hand chosen personnel to strictly handle these types of calls after being integrated into the existing 911 system. Turns out they actually do nothing all day and at least one of those vans follows around Brandon AT ALL TIMES.
These vans are staffed with CFD EMS personnel AND a doctor. In order to fly under the radar, he requests to be seen at Loyola Hospital in Maywood and Northwestern downtown. I’ve heard that Northwestern has some sort of tunnel system where people can enter directly into the hospital and circumvent the street level entrances.
Once he gets admitted, to avoid a paper trail, gets registered as a John DOE, but still uses his actual birthdate. Anyone with a connection can verify that by looking it up. I guess the stresses of running this city so poorly are getting to him. Is anyone actually surprised? Kass has been using this articles nicknaming Conehead “mayor panic attack” for years now, but no one else is looking into it?
🚨 100 Percent of the IL Republican Senators Voted for the SB 1560 mandiating Mental Health Screenings along with the Democrats 🚨
Governor Pritzker has now signed SB 1560 into law, requiring annual mental health screenings for Illinois students in grades 3 through 12.
What many voters and parents do not know is that this bill passed the Senate back on April 11, 2025 with every single Republican senator voting YES. This bill was passed with a unamious vote! 😡
This bill: *Provides no opt-in safeguard for parents *Makes screenings automatic unless parents know to opt out *Allows schools to screen students without notifying parents beforehand.
This unanimous Republican support came just weeks after the Homeschool Act was defeated in March, when citizens spoke out against government interference in the parent child relationship. So the question, did that experience even make them hesitate in their vote???
At the federal level, Illinois Congresswoman Mary Miller is cosponsoring the Parents Opt In Protection Act, which requires parental consent before students face sensitive screenings. Why did Illinois Republicans not demand the same protections here at home?
For more information on an opt-out form, I will post a link to @Awake_IL and the forms they have available.
How about mental health screenings for the teachers and staff?

This isn’t about mental health for students. Chicago is proof that Illinois has no concern about the welfare of students.
This is a Soviet Union type of gathering info on the parents to find if they think the “right” way.
Chicago is pushing to revive a new Illinois Services tax to bail out the city.
[Q: Would you be willing to pay a tax on services to bail out Chicago?}
The idea is being pushed by Brandon Johnson’s CFO Jill Jaworski.
At a luncheon filled with Illinois area Democrat movers and shakers in Chicago, Jaworski, made a renewed pitch for taxing services.
The Democrat proposed service tax would add a 6.25%-12% (depending on your local sales tax rate) sales tax to haircuts, car washes, car mechanics, streaming services, landscaping, home repair/handyman services, employment staffing agencies, camping, dry cleaning, carpet cleaning, parking, mini storage, fitness centers, pest control, dog grooming, baby sitting, taxi/ride share, bus fare, retirement/investment advising, moving services, doctor visits, surgery bill, dentist, chiropractor, and many more.
It appears Jaworski thinks these are all “luxury items”! Do you?
(History) Illinois Democrats considered the new service tax idea in the spring 2025 legislative session, but the legislation never received a vote, but most Democrats were ready vote yes on the plan..
According to the Sun-Times, Jaworski said : “I have a gym membership. I get a massage every month. I get my nails done. I get my hair done. I consume a lot of services. … I’m going to pay an interior decorator to help me with a couple of rooms in my house I want to redo. I pay no taxes on any of that”
Even clinicians reject this agenda of mental health screenings in schools.
Send a message to your school district NOW if you reject it as well.

In the late 1990s, teachers insisted that students undergo testing for ADHD. Many were prescribed Ritalin, which is similar to cocaine. When Ritalin became ineffective, they switched to Prozac. The Columbine students were the first generation to be prescribed Ritalin. Every parent should consider opting their children out of this screening.
I want to address Illinois’ new law mandating annual mental health screenings for every student in our schools.
First, I want to be clear, certainly all parents want their children to be healthy and supported. But a mandatory law that gives the state the authority to screen every child’s mind every single year raises serious questions that have yet to be answered.
Who exactly will be conducting these screenings? What are their qualifications? Will they be licensed professionals with specific training in child psychology, or will this be outsourced to contractors with minimal oversight, and if so under what guidelines ?
What specific tools will be used? Are they scientifically validated for children at these age levels? And most importantly, why are the parental rights as they pertain to this law? will parents be fully informed before any questions are asked, and will they be allowed to be present during the process?
If the results suggest a diagnosis, will that become a mandatory order for treatment? What happens if a parent disagrees with the findings? Will they be referred to child protective services for refusing a state-recommended intervention?
How will my child’s data be stored and protected? Who will have access? Will it be part of their permanent school record? Will it be shared with outside agencies or law enforcement? And what will be parents civil recourse if it mishandled and abused?
And who’s paying for all of this? Taxpayers deserve to know the total cost and whether these funds are being pulled from other vital classroom needs.
Mental health is a deeply personal and private matter, and no law should override a parent’s right to guide their child’s care. Before this law moves forward, the public deserves transparency, clear opt-out rights, and safeguards that protect both our children’s privacy and our authority as parents.
Since sexual orientation is included in can imagine behavioral modification drugs will not be the only medications being pushed.
Schools interfering with every aspect of a child’s mental health is alarming. Conservative parents beware your lifestyle will be controversial.
Until those answers are provided, this program should not proceed. Our children are not test subjects, and our rights as parents are not optional.
New Illinois ‘exit tax’ proposed! The Democrat proposal would cost many Illinoisans an average of $1335.00 to bail out Brandon Johnson’s public transportation system.
Irony: The City of Chicago, would be ‘exempt’ from having to pay the tax.
So, if you want to leave Illinois, you’ll get taxed one final time on the way out, when you sell your house!
Illinois already has the highest property taxes in the nation, and this tax would add on the burden. House Bill 3438 [link to the bill in first comment] would include a real estate transfer tax equivalent to $10.50 on every $1,000 of home value to fund the CTA, according to the Illinois Policy Institute, the bill is a Chicago mass-transit “rescue package”
The tax would be paid on real estate transfers in Kane, Lake, McHenry, DuPage, Will, and ‘suburban’ Cook County.
Bill Status: The bill was passed by the Illinois Senate Democrats but did not go to the Illinois house and has not been signed into law….yet. The bill remains alive in Springfield.
New Poll: 60% of Illinois voters say “high taxes” is the most important issue facing the state, and they blame Gov. Pritzker (D).
Many respondents said “…Governor J.B. Pritzker by name, using terms like “get rid of Pritzker”.
Since JB Prizker (D) became governor the average family of four pays close to $5000.00 more in taxes per year. [$1,237.00 per person]
Key issues cited in the data:
High taxes: 60%
State Governance: 26% (*)
The Economy: 25%
Crime 19%
Education 17%
Housing 17%
Immigration 16%
(*) Government Accountability and Leadership: Many voters singled out Governor J.B. Pritzker by name, calling for his removal or criticizing his leadership. Terms like “get rid of Pritzker”, “replace the governor”, and “government reform” were common.

Background:
M3 Strategies surveyed 752 likely 2026 General Election voters in Illinois from July 15th – July 18th. The survey has a margin of error of 3.57%. Respondents were randomly selected from a pool of individuals who are likely to vote in the 2026 General election and all responses were generated via MMS to web survey.
Did you know Illinois politicians proposed a law that would levy a $500.00 fine if you are caught using a Gas Leaf blower in Illinois?
[Q: Should you have to pay $500 fine if caught using a Gas Leaf Blower?]
History: Back in 2020, Illinois Politicians proposed Illinois Senate Bill 3313 [Sponsored by State Sen Laura Fine (D)] that would ban gas powered leaf blowers in Illinois and fine people $500.
Fine argued:
-Gas-powered leaf blowers are detrimental to the health of the citizens of the State of Illinois and the quality of the environment -Two-stroke and four-stroke engines used in gas-powered leaf blowers emit exceedingly high rates of pollutants, including, but not limited to, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides, and hydrocarbons; -The chemical pollutants that gas-powered leaf blowers emit can contribute to smog formation and acid rain -Gas-powered leaf blowers generate noise at a decibel level capable of causing hearing loss in a short amount of time;(5) gas-powered leaf blowers send dust and other small particles into the air for considerable distances, -Gas-powered leaf blowers send dust and other small particles into the air for considerable distances including, but not limited to, animal feces, trace quantities of heavy metals such as lead, and allergens such as pollen and mold.
…and yes, a $500.00 penalty would apply to those violating the law!
The good news, the law was ‘not’ approved, but…….
Fast forward to 2024, when Democrat Chicago State Rep. Lindsey LaPointe (D) introduced HB4805 which was intended to create “the Gas-Powered Leaf Blower Ban Act.” The law provides that, on and after January 1, 2025, a person may not operate or sell at retail a gas-powered leaf blower in the State. Provides that a person who violates the Act’s provisions is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $500.
The good news, again, the bill died, but will that stop Illinois politicians from bring it back again? Probably Not!
The Illinois $1.50 delivery tax is back! Here’s an update.
Background: In May, Illinois politicians proposed a $1.50 tax on every kind of delivery (Amazon, UPS, DoorDash, USPS)….any package that is delivered to your door.
Every Amazon, USPS and UPS package that gets delivered to your home or business would cost you an extra $1.50 under the Democrat Pritzker plan. The money would go to Brandon Johnson (D) and the City of Chicago fiscally mismanaged public transit, but the tax would be paid by the entire state of Illinois.
The Democrat controlled Illinois Senate approved the tax, but the clock ran out before the spring legislative session wrapped up and Democrats in the Illinois house did not have time to vote on the delivery tax. (Note: Zero Republicans voted for the tax, all “Y” Votes were from Democrats, locally, this includes Rockford Area State Senator Steve Stadelman (D).
Bill Status: The bill (HB3438) is still ‘alive’. It has been referred to the Rules committee and could come up again for a vote in the fall.
Transparency: The sponsors of this tax are all Democrats and include:
Senate Sponsors: Sen. Ram Villivalam – David Koehler – Mike Porfirio – Celina Villanueva – Robert Peters, Omar Aquino, Adriane Johnson, Mike Simmons, Mark L. Walker, Graciela Guzmán, Mary Edly-Allen, Robert F. Martwick, Mattie Hunter and Sara Feigenholtz
State House of Representatives Sponsors : Rep. Jaime M. Andrade, Jr. – Marcus C. Evans, Jr., Dave Vella, Kevin John Olickal, Natalie A. Manley, Martin J. Moylan and Katie Stuart
$1.50 Illinois Delivery Tax loophole for Chicago!
Loophole: The portions City of Chicago would be ‘exempt’ from having to pay the new tax.
The Pritzker/Democrat sponsored delivery tax would apply to the entire state of Illinois to bail out the city of Chicago – many areas of the city would ‘not’ have to pay the tax.
On Monday, Illinois state senator Andrew Chesney issued a warning to Illinois residents:
“….And here’s the kicker: the tax doesn’t even apply evenly. Deliveries made by bicycle are exempt, which just so happens to benefit many areas of Chicago where bike delivery is common. So, while city residents find a convenient loophole, rural and suburban families are left paying the bill. This isn’t just bad policy, it’s targeted taxation”
Beckground: A $1.50 Delivery Tax, or what many have called the “Amazon Tax,” on nearly every package or food order delivered to your door. Groceries and medicine are supposed to be exempt, however, if your delivery order included a rotisserie chicken, roll of toilet paper, toothpaste, diapers , etc you would pay the tax.
The delivery tax bill remains alive in the Illinois state legislature, and could come back for a vote in the fall veto session.
The bill is intended to bail out the city of Chicago mismanaged public transportation system. The $1.50 per delivery/package tax would be levied throughout the entire state of Illinois to benefit Brandon Johnson and the City of Chicago.
