Pritzker, Durbin’s “Surprise” and the Musical Chairs of Illinois
Sunday April 27, 2025
By John Kass
Illinois politics has a strange way of ruining your appetite, especially if you’re a taxpayer with an already sour stomach.
Even if you’re an Illinois resident living part time in Naples, Fla., Park City, UT., or Positano on the Amalfi Coast, and if you still have family in Illinois then no amount of Tums or Pepto Bismol will soothe your tummy.
Henry VIII King of England had a bulging appetite too, as does Illinois Gov. Fat Boi himself, J.B. Pritzker. They had full appetites. They ate everything.
Henry, the Tudor King got massively fat by stuffing himself with piles of roast meats of all kinds, savory pies chock-full of four and twenty blackbirds, larks and eels, and mounds of candied jellies.
But Henry at least tried to work off the stress. He played tennis and he jousted some and he kept finding new wives to kill.
What of the Gov. of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, who wants to become president?
He’s much too fat to climb up on a horse. He eats so much and has gained so much weight so that he broke his own leg just by standing on it. True story.
But his magic talent is that he’s run Illinois—the worst governed state in American history—deeply into the ground.
And still he wants more. He’s a glutton, stuffing himself, seeking power and more power.
This frenzied, desperate appetite has not only stunned Illinois taxpayers, but Illinois Democrats pols have already lost their minds, joining an orgy of self-destruction. One of the crazies is U.S. Rep. Delia Ramirez who wants her allies to harass opponents even in church. She said so. Ramirez was endorsed by the Chicago Tribune to the newspaper’s shame.
She’s part of the neo-Jacobin spasm tearing up the country. These Jacobin gangsters were protected and promoted by corrupt legacy media, like the Trib.
And in this climate of cray-cray, Illinois Sen. Dick “Bullhead” Durbin steps down from his lofty perch. He’s 80 and doesn’t want to be shuffling around like Joe Biden. Years ago he thought of retiring, but he agreed to stay on to help decrepit old Biden. The Democrats were in the Senate majority and Durbin had perks. Now there are no perks. Now the Democrats have lost the majority and other Democrat Senators are leaving the business.
“If you’re honest about yourself and your reputation, you want to leave when you can still walk out the front door and not be carried out the back door,” said Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” Dick was not being honest.
But I agree with Dick that he wants to walk out on his own power. He talks of honesty. So I’ve linked to the Durbin archives from The Federalist. So, let’s be honest. Really, Dick:
You’ve established your oily legacy. You speak like an unctuous eunuch, speaking in a reasonable voice while saying the most unreasonable things. Most Americans remember your sniveling fake non-apology after you falsely compared the U.S. Army to Nazis and Pol Pot’s murderers in war-time. Many also remember how you applied a religious test to Americans seeking appointment to the highest court: “Do you consider yourself an orthodox Catholic?”
He has shamed himself repeatedly with that oily voice. Happily, the Federalist has compiled a series of Bullhead Durbin’s greatest hits. So I’ve linked to it twice.
And what of Illinois?
Under Pritzker the state squandered $54 billion in federal COVID relief. Illinois raised taxes, while all the neighboring states lowered theirs. Wirepoints.org has reported that Illinois has the largest state/local government debt in the nation, averaging $110,000 per household. Illinois exceeds the combine debt of every neighboring state. Residents continue to flee. Public schools don’t work. Kids do not read or write or do math at grade level. And not only older retirees flee, but younger residents–particularly the high earners that the state can’t afford to lose–are gone.
Chicago continues to lead the nation in murder.
But Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson have the answer: Rhetoric, race baiting and screaming. They scream at President Donald Trump and they allege our fundamental rights are under assault. It’s all political horse poop to distract from their failures as administrators.
“It’s obvious Pritzker and Johnson see Trump as a political bogeyman they can use to leverage their own political fortunes,” says Paul Vallas. “But their rhetoric is political fearmongering at its finest. Both the state and city are well equipped to protect people’s “fundamental rights” and have policies in place to protect against government overreach, real or imagined.”
There was a logical political move for Pritzker to make after Durbin decided to step down and live off his government retirement and the income generated by his lobbyist wife.
Pritzker should have bought that Senate seat for himself. He wanted it once, groveling to former Gov. Rod Blagojevich on federal tape, wrinkling his nose up at black Democrats who he didn’t think were qualified to become Senator. He should have begged harder. Durbin’s Senate seat would be perfect f0r Gov. Toilets, the billionaire heir of the Hyatt Hotel fortune.
“That makes sense,” said my friend, Thom Serafin, the Illinois political analyst. “It’s a great spot for him. The guy’s got billions now. How could you compete?”
Yes, Thom had a brilliant idea. Democrats will be in the minority in the Senate for years to come, after AOC presents the severed head of Sen. Charles Schumer to her bloodthirsty Jacobin mob. And from the Senate, Pritzker could do what he does best: Just sit there and not do much as other Democrats kiss his behind for money. There’s no heavy lifting.
Unfortunately Serafin’s idea was just too logical. Pritzker ruined it all by having his Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton announce she wanted Durbin’s seat. Now Pritzker’s echo chamber has convinced him he can win the White House. He’ll run as the pro-transexual party candidate, demanding biological boys on every girl’s team.
Illinois Republicans see opportunity, but conservative morning radio host Dan Proft, of Chicago’s Morning Answer program warned that Republicans first must grow up.
There are good candidates, Proft said, but unless MAGA Illinois develops a realistic approach, there will be no joy.
“Jeannie Ives is a great candidate. Darren LaHood is a good candidate,” Proft said on his show last week. “There are other good candidates that could potentially run for Senate or governor. But in MAGA world if there is not a coming together where you start to seed the field now, making the arguments, taking the positions, building the infrastructure, doing all the things that haven’t been done in some time. If you don’t start doing it now with an eye towards next year’s primary and general election, then there is no path to victory.
“If you think you’re going to show up and try to compete with the money late and all of the inertia, despite Illinois being the worst governed state in the country, in the country’s history, and compete with the inertia that is still behind them, then you’re wrong.”
Who can argue with that?
Rahm Emanuel? Rahm is out there scheming with David Axelrod. And beware of the ambition of the Greeks, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias and Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas. They’re already playing their Hellenic card, but I don’t remember them as out front and solidly behind Vallas in the last mayoral campaign. They were cautious, sly, and consumed with their own ambition. Is this a crime. No, it’s human nature. And now, I’m thinking Maria will go for mayor since the current mayor is such a dismal race hustling fraud. And Alexi? I wouldn’t give a fig for Alexi.
And Pritzker could run for governor.
Who can keep track of so many chairs. The Chicago newspaper political writers are lazy and have proven they can’t keep track of them all. The threats of Rep. Delia Ramirez–who was endorsed by the Tribune–doesn’t inspire confidence. And those empty musical chairs belong to the gluttonous Illinois political class, not to the people.
For all his tough talk, Gov. Jelly Belly is a coward and doesn’t engage in real combat. But Henry VIII did, athletic, up on his war horse, holding his lance, thundering toward his opponent. What happened that one time? Was he distracted, thinking of four and twenty blackbirds baked into a pie that cost him concentration at that tournament of violence in 1536?
He was knocked unconscious for hours. A boxer knocked out for hours risks certain brain damage and death. King Henry VIII was once sporty and generous became paranoid and suspicious. The 44-year-old king was knocked from his horse in full heavy armor. The horse, also heavily armored, fell on top of him. He was unconscious for two hours. His girth ballooned. His legs became ulcerated. The cruelty began, and his wives kept losing their heads.
At least Henry had an excuse.
But what is Gov. Toilets excuse? He doesn’t have one.
He’s always had his cake and eaten it too. And if he seeks the presidency after destroying his state, the poor people of Illinois will be left with his crumbs.

Alas, the poor people of illinois always vote for the crumbs and the crumbs dine upon them.
So sad that the people in Illinois have allowed him to ruin the hard working American in this once great State for Greed and Power for him mostly Power. How anyone in his or her right mind Vote for these people? I am sad for the young.
Oh, just ask my wife! She has been worshipping him ever since he started appearing as Governor in the TV every forenoon during the Covid days!!
Pritzker considers himself the king of Illinois politics, especially now that Micheal Madigan is gone. He has bought the supposed loyalty of most Illinois politicians who take his money and will turn on him in a second if the Feds come sniffing around. Pritzker does not command the fear from Illinois politicians that Madigan did – all Pritzker is the financial godfather of all these slimebags. Pritzker does not want to be a senator – he can’t buy his way to the top in the Senate, and outside Illinois, without the exception of the fawning Illinois media, no one would pay any attention to him. After all, Pritzker would be the junior senator from Illinois – Duckworth (another useless piece of work) would outrank him, unless Pritzker could find a way to get rid of her. Governor Money Bags will be tormenting Illinois for years to come, unless the Chumbolone actually wake up – fat chance (pathetic pun).
John, you’ve nailed the unctuous baby-kissing, band-wagon jumping-on mealy mouthed pol Durbin. I sincerely hope Illinois’ citizenry turns out to vote Republican, providing the GOP becomes proactive in the political arena.
Dick & Tammy are useless bobbleheads cow-towing to the Dem party line regardless of the issue.
Spot on James, I couldn’t have said it better. Durbin, a major league empty suit. Yammering Tammy, a big disappointment…another Schumer/Pelosi lemming. I expected more from the retired war time purple heart veteran military officer…one who once took an oath based on honor and integrity. The two of them might as well be senators from New York.
Great piece John. Thank you for another Sunday morning of interesting reading with my coffee.
So glad that I moved out of that filthy state. Chicago was beautiful (not anymore) and fun (not anymore.) Honestly, those who stay are fools. I hear “can’t afford to leave” but, with the exception of a few other blue states also run by fools, anywhere is cheaper with a better quality of life.
Stop with the lame excuses. Leave. Stop taking it Chumbolones.
Thank you John, one of the few media voices in the Illinois Cook County political wilderness. As I ponder the child butchering Maximus Commodus, I wonder if Kohler from Wisconsin could put their label on our fair governor, after all, “my kingdom for a bidet.” How about that for a wretched image.
Let’s not forget the court jester…
“Exclusive — Rod Blagojevich on Running for Senate as MAGA Republican: ‘Never Say Never”
He’s colored his hair. He’s promoting a book. This thing is f*%$#@g golden!
At least Pritzker has been faithful in nominating his Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton who has been standing behind him faithfully without saying a word during every one of his briefs before the TV, just like Biden’s VP Kamala stood behind him like his faithful servant when he was addressing from his White House, with her mouth covered by a Covid mask. Yet Biden didn’t agree to let her run in his place before Obama had Pelosi and others twist his arms!
I would rather vote for Rod than for any of this crumbs like Raja. I just could not think favorably any of these Dems to fill the shoes of Senators like Chuck Percy or Paul Simon. Btw, has Rod published a book, f*%$#@g golden!? I couldn’t wait to put my fingers on it.
Big Pritzy is not Mr. Swifty,
Thought his tax dodge was nifty.
Having dined on his state,
He wants more on his plate
So hungers to feed on all fifty.
SUPERB!!
Agreed – Superb!
Generous Commenters Kenney and Anderson,
Thank you, gentlemen, but it was ALMOST superb. As a limerick veteran (I have several hundred others), I only saw after posting that the required three-beat rhythm of a limerick’s second line was off. This was due to an accidental self-edit…maybe my unconscious reaction to the distasteful subject!
Anyway, in appreciation of you two fine guys, here is the limerick I intended to provide to the valuable JKN audience, with the proper second line:
Big Pritzy is not Mr. Swifty,
Thought his toilet tax dodge was nifty.
Having dined on his state,
He wants more on his plate
So hungers to feed on all fifty.
Thank you for another excellent piece. I was very excited when Rauner was elected governor and had high hopes he would shake things up and use his bully pulpit to get the obvious word out to the people. I was doubly disappointed when he did not. The end of his term was the beginning of our planning to escape.
We left Illinois a couple of years ago after 25 years because it was clear that there would be no Teddy Roosevelt-type figure coming to Illinois’ rescue.
In my opinion, the state is so corrupt at all levels that it will need to financially fail before improving. Then, perhaps, a sane person or group of people will step up and start the rebuilding of a once-great state.
Yeah, I agree. Rauner knew it wasn’t going well for him. And instead of running again thinking he could beat a moneyed man like him, he should have withdrawn and supported the smart South Dakotan lady he won against in the primary. That was his fatal mistake.
Yes. The Illinois corruption is not only breathtaking but it is being done out in the open- every body knows about it. In “current speak” the corrutption has become “normalized” in this state. Illinois voters are to blame……they keep reelecting the same corrupt pols. ………..and Gov JB is a sissy (when finally confronted with the toilets scam he blamed his wife)
Already working hard toward the nomination for Governor? DuPage County proven vote-getter, Sheriff James Mendrick. He’s the competent, capable hard-working person we need in Springfield. We say we want “good people” to run for these major offices….and we have one! Mendrick’s ability to get the job done, without a all of personal agrandizement is without question.
If Pritzker decides to go again for Governor, his legendary bank account will be formidable. We have to decide if we want his off-shore money driving the bus, or are we finally going to wake up and do what we can to save our state??.
When talking with new friends in the free sate of Florida about the rising Illinois star Democrat Gov JB Pritzker I have to include the toilets story but my favorite Jelly Belly story came from the FBI wire taps in 2018, when JB said to Blogo that Jesse White was the “least offensive” African American candidate for Barack Obama vacated US senate seat.
At the time it surprised me that there was not more of a backlash from the Black community, but we all have a price and theirs must have been met.
Thanks John fir another great column. I will never understand how the toilet Governor was caught on tape with Blago trying to purchase the Senate seat while putting down the Black population at the same time, and not only was he not indicted but the Democrats actually made him their Governor. I wasn’t aware he broke his leg by just standing on it with his extremely oversized body. Wow. Another story buried by the Liberal press.
Yeah, I agree. Rauner knew it wasn’t going well for him. And instead of running again thinking he could beat a moneyed man like him, he should have withdrawn and supported the smart South Dakotan lady he won against in the primary. That was his fatal mistake.
Well, once a slave always a slave! Look at the Indian people. They were not even slaves but only ruled by the British for couple hundred years. Yet they still behave as slaves, always looking for handouts!
Interesting you said that. During my medical career I had many Indian colleagues. They were some of the hardest working physicians I have ever met. They were all full throated cheerleaders for free markets, merit and excellence. And they also demanded the same from their kids.
Well, I would say your doctor buddies could very well be India trained and sure they better worked hard in this country to stay and keep up with their American colleagues. Only couple weeks ago when was with my PCP in his office, he said he was in astonishment to learn some of his Indian patients living in 5000 sq ft homes are in Medicaid! Me and my wife, who accompanied me that day, were not at all surprised. And my wife knows one too many wealthy Indians who came here to be with their kids on chain migration doing just that!
Now, have you seen older Indian guys working in Walmart or other grocery stores bagging merchandise at the service counters? These people are just retired from good jobs in India with 70% pensions and are here within an year to be with their kids who got them here on chain migration. These people work here in Walmart stores and Food Chains for 5 years(of course living with their kids who got them here) so they could get citizenship in 5 years and get on social Security while at the same time investing their pensions back home. And how do you like that!
In 2017, just before Trump was about to take his office, I wrote to his transition team recommending to limit the age for naturalized citizenships to 45 so the new citizen will have at least 20 years to work for this country and contribute as a citizen. Either it fell on deaf ears or the transition committee discarded it! You could have seen on TV some 99 year old Mexican great grand mother proudly waving the American Flag after she became a US citizen and wondering what she would accomplish with that!!
Good morning John.
I believe you meant to write Emanuel might run for governor. That would make sense as he has ended his ambassadorship to Japan and has been making television appearances.
Possible. How old is Rahm? If he wins governor, can he be “presidential timber”?
Who does Toni Preckwinkle want? Doesn’t she ultimately control Pritzker? She took his millions. Doesn’t she want him dispatched to Washington?
Once “The Land of Lincoln” now “The State of Corruption”. If Pritzker hadn’t inherited the Hyatt Hotel billions he couldn’t run a Motel 6. What a sad state.
Escaped Illinois for a Kansas suburb of KC in the mid seventies. For all of the issues in very blue Johnson county, the pale in comparison to the utter destruction in Illinois. I grew up in Roseland in the fifties through the mid sixties before a certain minority moved in and destroyed the south side. Governor Fatso and his trans stands alone will not get him anywhere near the presidency. Add the facts that the machine is finally in the throes of bankrupting the entire city, and the state.
Again, another great column on political analysis. Keep it up.
BTW lt gov pot head hidi hidi ho will get her flabby ass kick by US house rep Raja, if he jumps in
Just today there were headlines about Indiana taking a step in exploring the request of 33 Illinois counties primarily bordering Indiana to become annexed or even form their own state.)Great idea that won’t happen. Remember “Lincoln” county movement to lop off the upper arm of Crook County. Lots of support but of course the combine and the politics of Cook powerhouses like Boss Toni (she of the sensible shoes) killed that one. If Pritzger ran for Prez the Republican candidate would be a shoe in. Bernie as cantankerous as he is will be but a screeching voice if that in 3 years. AOC? Dems would really be crazy or desperate. Glad I left for a nice red state a while back.
Great Column Mr. Kass!
Is it too much to hope he gets caught in a Chinese or Russian honeytrap, gets humiliated and goes away?
Gov. Commodus Maximus, like a bad penny will never go away. If he fails in the primaries, you can bet he’ll end up as a department secretary or some sort of eminence gris in the backroom to whomever wins the Democrat nomination; or he’ll just keep tormenting the taxpayers of Illinois as governor. For him its’s a win-win.
Thank you Mr. Kass as always. Berret’s at the far end of Duke of Gloucester street in Williamsburg, for the best crab cake you’ll ever eat. My ancestors will rise from their graves.
Meanwhile a nice meal on the patio of Trump Tower, on May 1st appears to be in order!
The great Marvin Hagler always finished a boxer who he had on the ropes, usually by knocking him out. Hagler never let the boxer recover. Finish him. Now. The Republicans have the Democrats on the ropes but are not finishing them. They’re letting them off, even as The Lunatic Fringe wing of that party consumes it making them even more vulnerable. Republicans should begin looking to the midterms to target weak Democrats in order to take their seats. Republicans have to get that retired auto worker in Sandusky Ohio who continues to vote for them simply because his parents, grandparents and friends do. He doesn’t care about AOC, Hamas, or LBGDEFG’s in his grandkids bathrooms. He votes out of habit. Republicans need to remind him that the people taking over that party have their own agenda and don’t give a damn about his. This voter and that seat are ripe for the picking. Already identified.
The RNC should already be funding candidates to make a run at those seats but they aren’t. There are many Neocons and Rinos in the party and you can rightfully deduce they’re sitting on their hands waiting for their chance to take it over again.
RNC right now is sitting on their back still gloating over their 2024 success and hoping uncle Trump would take care of every thing and blame him if they lose 2026 which is going to happent if they don’t wise up soon and act taking some responsibility.
Great column. Illinois has been singularly cursed by the nation’s worst examples of political greed, avarice and incompetence for generations. Elect a successor to Dickie, Ducky or Governor Arbuckle , and how did you do worse? They are all fugitives from karma and corpulent Arbuckle especially would seem to be late for a date with embolism.
At least Pritzker has been faithful in nominating his Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton who has been standing behind him faithfully without saying a word during every one of his briefs before the TV, just like Biden’s VP Kamala stood behind him like his faithful servant when he was addressing from his White House, with her mouth covered by a Covid mask. Yet Biden didn’t agree to let her run in his place before Obama had Pelosi and others twist his arms!
We need new Republicans like Sheriff Mendricks to lead the charge. Look at his record in DuPage and how he helped those incarcerated to learn a new skill and job. I have no hope for those combine Republicans to beat the Democrats. We need new and skilled blood like Mendricks
Yianni, Xristo Anesti!
I fear the state will have to go completely broke before hope of any changes can emerge. The dem/socialist party is to deeply entrenched, and won’t be giving up without a bloody fight. We, the poor chumbolones left behind will suffer the endless consequences – higher taxes, more crime, deteriorating schools, roads and cities. Gov jelly belly is delusional thinking he’s got a shot at the presidency, but with his billions, he may simply buy it, like Joe did thanks to all those secret donors behind him – right up until they vanished when he couldn’t remember where he was! I fear we’re doomed…but yet, I remain hopeful, and pray!
Another great one sir. Using Henry the VIII is perfect. Had the chance to be in London in ’94 before England surrendered itself to the political left. The two most humbling sites were the Tower and St. Paul’s. Standing there in the presence of centuries of human history brings perspective like no other. Thanks again, for keeping em coming.
Quite frankly, there’s not too much to be excited about here. Almost anything that would get C. Maximus out of Springfield should be considered encouraging. Let him run for prez. The nutballs all love and froth over AOC. Why, I have no clue, but then they frothed over Cackles too. How C. Maximus would ever win a nomination lest a general election right now is beyond me. But what does that leave here. Rham? Alexi? Stratton? Heavens no, no and uh, no !
And on the Republican side? I know…Jiminy CRICKET(s) !
There is zero victory here no matter how you slice it. By the way, hey Dick – don’t let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out. Next year, heck tomorrow, isn’t soon enough to say adios.
John writes: “Democrats will be in the minority in the Senate for years to come …” Wrong. The wheel always turns in American politics. And in this case it will turn faster than usual if Mr. Trump persists in the dumbest, stupidest economic policy in my lifetime. You see John – if it is not obvious to you – no one (not commies, jacobins, Democrats, Republicans, MAGAs) like losing their life’s savings or 401Ks (You really should read a little Milton Friedman, since you obviously have no idea how destructive tariffs are in the long run to free markets) . And when Wall Street sneezes Main Street catches a cold. That is basic American political economic history which somehow Mr. Trump has yet to learn. So a little dose of GLP-1 – as Dr Rudd has suggested once – combined with the dumbest Presidential economic policy in recent times and … viola … Guv. Toilets is in the WH. And the Senate is blue. Amazing.
Very much agree with you Mr. Kleinman. Milton Friedman must be rolling over in his grave right about now. So many of today’s Trump followers love to throw out that Rino label whenever someone
reminds them of what the Republican party once stood for.
Yeah Bob. Just as Mr. Trump’s return to the WH was the greatest political comeback in American history, his chaotic tariff fiasco is the greatest totally self induced presidential economic political blunder in memory. He and the Republicans are going to pay severely for this in 2026 … and beyond. Hopefully before they do, he will declare victory – walk back this insanity – and move on to the issues for which he was elected. But I fear that is unlikely. Meanwhile the Democrats are salivating to the gift handed them.
There’s one thing that you have to hand to Durbin. He never met a camera he doesn’t like. He takes the credit for everything. If somebody is changing a lightbulb he takes the credit for it. He also likes to talk to his constituents like their children. He must figure that if they keep on electing him that they are childlike and naive.
John Kass, the weaving of your Illinois tapestry is wonderful. I believe that Dan has the correct glimpse into what and how the GOP should be doing NOW rather than wait ………hmmm. Illinois is getting too much wrong and too much debt to waste anything on them. With the “basic allegiance” of SEIU and CTU, the Ds could go on for a long time in holding offices of importance. Just another reason why we should be calling U-Haul or any movers to take a ride to the Hoosier side.
Thank you John Kass and God bless you and your family. Tell Dan thank you also.
A couple of my children, all over the age of 60, have asked me if I would like some help in moving…. Yes, I am laughing.
Love my kids, but we have found our niche here alongside all of our MDs and a move would mean finding new MDs…..no taste for that. I digress too much John. God bless.
Tom
John, I seem to recall a college professor years ago ruminating on how Americans like their president to be attractive (of course, Joe Biden is the exception). So, perhaps Governor Fatboy should have that operation where they staple your stomach and your daily meal consists of 2 beans and a piece of romaine lettuce. He will then become a svelte libtard and the darling of the party.
Pritzker funded the well meaning but unbelievably weak Bailey to run against him. Democrats will do the same in the next gov race, find a feckless member of the Combine and run that against their candidate. Vallas let preckwinkle stooge into destroy his campaign (Joe Trippe). Salvi years ago was threatened by none other than Lois Learner and the Dem DOJ in Illinois. MAGA doesn’t mean Republican, it is a populist movement. We need ANYBODY with some testicullar verocity to step up and take it to the Combine. We have no one. I have less than 5 years to decide to stay or go….Highland Indiana , here I come.
Another fact about JB & the Pritzker Family, which rarely receives attention, is their major financial involvement in the Trans/Sex Change movement. Most people have no idea. Follow the Money…..
