Ted joined Jeff Daly to discuss the university student protests erupting across the nation on the Israel/Palestine conflict, why it’s so dangerous for society if the media abandons facts in favor of narratives, why that allows government to spin away the problems like crime and financial crises, why it causes the voting public to become apathetic, and more.
When you hear the complaints from Illinois politicians, remember the hypocrisy: 40,000 bused to Chicago, but 161,562 allowed to fly directly to Florida.
Nearly one year ago, Chicagoans cheered Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s removal from office. In her place was Brandon Johnson, who promised a more inclusive approach to building a “better, stronger, safer Chicago.” It hasn’t turned out that way. Today, there’s little disagreement that Mayor Johnson has disappointed on most key issues. On crime. On policing. On migrants. On education. On governance. Even on foreign affairs.
Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about the problems and costs of the Chicago Bears’ proposed new stadium, why its unlikely to happen in its current form, why the ongoing wave of violent crimes makes residents scared of the city, and why the funeral of slain police officer Luis Huesca matters to Mayor Johnson’s reputation.
It’s about time that Pat O’Brien spoke up. He’s invisible. “Nobody” knows he’s running for Cook County State’s Attorney. None of the Republican Chairs are assisting him. ☹️
Typical Illinois Republicans all they do is hide in the corner and say yes boss Madigan yes sir. They will never become reality in this state again, done,gone,adios amigos.
Bottom line now is, If you shoot a criminal, attacking, robbing, raping , murdering , while defending yourself or others, don’t get caught, especially on camera, doing so . Keep that in mind.
The race to surpass California (and what other states?) as the most liberal state in the nation.
No need to pass new laws in Illinois.
It is so much easier to hand out Free Pass to Ignore the Law, and Get Out of Jail Free cards.
““You’re basically degrading a neighborhood and indicating to people who want to commit crimes that it’s okay,” O’Brien said about the policy. “You’re telling people generally that the fact they obey the law doesn’t matter because ‘we’re giving consideration to people who disobeyed the law who we think are victims, too.’””
He must read my comments here. Like I’ve been saying, this is all about decriminalizing the behaviors of Black people because of systemic racism. But as I like to say, other Races following the law disproportionately is not anti-Black racism. Most other people still consider these crimes.
She’s only doing her master’s bidding.
Nope,(Kimesha Foxx) is just a pawn, she is too stupid and obnoxiuos to follow anyone’s bidding but her own, but that exactly why her “masters” put her in the position she is in. That is/was exactly what they wanted. A pre-programmed idiot drone, to cause chaos according to exactly where and what they wanted. They only reason they gave her tickets to the Oscars, was nothing price to pay for their schemes and the publicity possibility of moving her disfunction to higher levels if(when( she get elected to higher office.
