Blaine Wilhour, a public figure known for his outspoken views, has shared his opinions on several socio-political issues over multiple social media posts dated between April 3 and April 4, 2025. Addressing topics such as tariffs, taxation, and education, Wilhour's tweets provide insights into his perspectives on current events.

In a tweet on April 3, 2025, Wilhour commented on the topic of tariffs, suggesting that the solution lies in increased domestic manufacturing. He called for reduced regulations and taxation by Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and the state's Democrats, stating, "You know what the solution is to tariffs? BUILD THINGS IN ILLINOIS. BUILD THINGS IN AMERICA. Until @GovPritzker & the IL Democrats stop preventing that from happening with excessive regulation and taxation-they should just shut it up-they have ZERO credibility here."

Later that day, in another post on April 3, 2025, Wilhour addressed Governor Pritzker again, expressing disdain over the alleged impact on Pritzker's offshore investments. He criticized the tax system, highlighting its effect on working individuals: ".@GovPritzker, we are sorry/not sorry your offshore tax-avoidance trust funds in the Cayman’s are taking a hit. Working folks (who don’t have trust funds) have been taking the hits on behalf of people like you for decades. BTW, total gaslighting, the biggest tax hike in"

On April 4, 2025, Wilhour discussed the topic of education in a tweet, focusing on the growing prevalence of homeschooling. He criticized government schools, particularly in urban areas, calling them a "dismal failure." He advocated for the protection of homeschooling families, framing it as an issue of parental rights rather than politics: "Homeschooling is the fastest growing form of education in the country because the government schools are a DISMAL FAILURE-especially in our urban areas. We need to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT to protect Homeschool Families -This is not a political issue-It’s a PARENTAL RIGHTS issue."
