Blaine Wilhour, a political figure known for his outspoken views, has recently taken to social media to express his concerns regarding educational and agricultural policies in Illinois. His tweets, posted on March 10, 2025, address various issues ranging from education expenditure to the impact of state policies on farmers.

In one tweet, Wilhour criticizes the cost of education in Illinois government schools. He writes: "Transgender 4th graders. This is what 20K + per student gets you for in IL Government Schools. Meanwhile, 7 out of 10 students can’t read at grade level. Keep these freaks away from our kids. @realDonaldTrump, we need help in Illinois."

Another post shared by Wilhour contains only a link without additional commentary: "https://t.co/P6ZC9tMtEh".

Later that day, Wilhour addresses Governor Pritzker directly regarding the challenges faced by farmers due to state policies. He states: "Hey @GovPritzker , I’m a 3rd-generation farmer in the heart of farm country, and I don’t know a single farmer who has any use for you. Your energy policies drive up our costs, your taxes are pushing us out of business, and your death tax is robbing families of their land."
