Land of Lincoln...the prairie state...corn, soybeans, and pumpkins. Chicago-inclusive, but there's a lot more to Illinois than just the Windy City.

Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech.

“It’s deeply troubling that a Muslim was allowed to lead prayer in the House of Representatives this morning. This should never have been allowed to happen,” Miller said on the social platform X. “America was founded as a Christian nation, and I believe our government should reflect that truth, not drift further from it. May God have mercy!”

So as long as it is a Christian priest (or whatever they’re called) delivering a prayer, it’s A-OK. Got it.

How about removing such antiquated thinking from our legislative bodies? Probably can’t do that though, as it would discriminate against Rep. Mary Miller’s sincerely held beliefs. 🙄

They're "Christians," which means freedom for their religion. Maybe we should have the Satanic Temple pay them a visit lol

Like I always say about our state; the souther you go the Kentuckier you get. And this rotten bitch is only in central IL.
