Duck and Cover

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration officials announced that a truck crashes into the Long Grove bridge once every 90 minutes:

A truck became wedged under the roof of Long Grove's iconic covered bridge late Thursday afternoon, marking at least the 15th time the bridge has been damaged since it reopened last August after major repairs from a previous crash.
Yet another truck strikes roof of Long Grove bridge

One observer said: "They should find that truck, and get it off the road before it hits the bridge again."

That's all your LakeCountyEye has. Get over it.

The Critical Masses

Note to Ops: Due to the recent surge of new cases, government experts have declared a public health emergency. You are asked to shelter in place to help mitigate the transmission of the deadly variant. Your LakeCountyEye, of course, refers to Critical Race Theory.

Critical Race Theory, which public health experts had believed was isolated to the College of Lake County ...

Never Let a Good Critical Go to Waste

has now spread to schools in Dowers Grove:

approximately 150 protestors—many clad in red shirts—insisted that the district is advancing critical race theory, but using other code words and terminology to advance the concept.

The Emeny Within

Note to Ops: Cover your heads. A stool pigeon is on the loose at the College of Lake County.

In reaction to plans by the College of Lake County to hire a diversity administrator, a battery of protesters showed up to express their opposition to ... critical race theory:

Editorial: Pressure on CLC is troubling for more than just slowing the college's diversity effort

What does hiring a diversity administrator have to do with critical race theory? Nothing.

For that matter, what is critical race theory? Nobody knows.

The important question is: Who dropped a dime on the College? Compelling the CLC Board of Trustees to table the action.

Agitated and misinformed crowds do not just materialize out of nowhere. Particularly to stop an obscure administrative procedure routinely performed by many colleges.

College of Lake County Board of Trustees

To your LakeCountyEye this looks like an inside job.

Never Let a Good Critical Go to Waste

Lock the doors and hide your daughters. Critical Race Theory is descending upon Lake County:

The College of Lake County board has delayed the hiring of an administrator to oversee diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives on campus in an effort to ease some community members' concerns about critical race theory.
Critical race theory opponents prompt CLC to delay administrator's hiring

What is Critical Race Theory?  To find out, your LakeCountyEye asked Dr. I.M. Bhatschidtkhrazzi, Omnibus Professor of the Plenum at the College of Lake County.

"Ya." said Dr Bhatschidtkhrazzi, "Critical Race Theory?  You got me there.  What's that?"

Your LakeCountyEye heard enough. Did Dr Bhatschidtkhrazzi have any parting advice?

"Tell your Operatives to watch their backs. George Soros wants their blood!"

Polysemy in McHenry County

An actual unretouched screencap from the turgid theocrats at the McHenryCountyBlog:

Whether FOX News, elected officials, candidates or the public, there is a lot of misinformation about what exactly was filibustered yesterday. While the grid of senators voting on cloture is useless, given it was a 50-50 outcome and in spite of Vice President Kamala Harris, in her role as president of the Senate presided, no tiebreaking vote on a cloture vote where 60 votes needed, please note the title. "S. 2093".
Discernment on What EXACTLY Filibustered in U.S. Senate on June 22

What does that mean? It's anybody's guess.

Your LakeCountyEye contacted the very best Internet cryptologists. One said: "Someone with a college education might be able to decipher what they are getting at. But of course if all your readers are from McHenry County, you defeat that purpose."

It's a Plant

Son of Meet the New Walsh

If you know who said ...

There Are No Second Acts in American Politics

then you are not Joe Walsh.

As readers of this blog are aware ...

Meet the New Walsh

Ex Lake County Congressman Joe Walsh now favors gun control legislation.

And if that don't beat all, Walsh is recalibrating his position on abortion:

I’m pro life. But where does Meghan McCain get off imposing her faith on another human being’s faith? Who is she to say what Joe Biden must say to his creator? None of us know the truth, so all of us should be humble enough to allow each of us to profess our own personal faith. https://t.co/42ZuH4VKqy

No ifs ands or buts about it, the Joe Walsh brand is undergoing an overhaul. Where it is being hauled to is not known.

Next Week: Critical Race Theory! Joe Walsh says he wrote the book.
