At Mayor Lightfoot’s request, Police Supt. David Brown hand-delivered a letter from the mayor to Barr on Wednesday. In that letter, Lightfoot decried the “continuous stream of misinformation coming from the White House about Chicago."
Lori needs to worry about the fact that the Chicago business and entertainment and hospitality industries have been destroyed by her love affair with the domestic terrorist Marxist blm organization. She gave comfort to them by removing the statues, supports Cabrini Kim, and tries to blame cops. She needs to resign immediately.

People shouldn’t feel compelled to disprove a unsubstantiated accusation from Mayor Lightfoot. Till the mayor proves her accusation, it’s nothing more than blather. Seems this is the current thinking of Leftist Democrats – just blurt out unsubstantiated accusations become the media won’t do anything. Joe Biden, Pritzker, and now Lightfoot toss out random lies daily now to attack Republicans, that the media doesn’t run down because they are in on the scam.

Bill Bradley of WGN-TV interviews Bill Barr on September 9, 2020.
The following press releases are from the US Attorney’s Norther District of Illinois office (part of the US DOJ), pertaining to Operation Legend Chicago and/or rioting.
Since July 22, 2020, 124 defendants have been charged with federal crimes as a result of the Chicago portion of the nationwide US DOJ Operation Legend initiative.
Traumatizing robberies and violent crime continue to go up in Chicago this year, hitting a six-year high compared to the same time last year. It’s crime in neighborhoods perceived as safe, sometimes taking place in broad daylight, that’s driving the increased fear among Chicagoans and suburbanites.
Ted was on The Chicago Way with John Kass and Jeff Carlin to discuss the proposed $5 billion lakefront stadium project proposed by the Chicago Bears & Mayor Brandon Johnson, why Chicago is struggling compared to other metro areas across the country, why the city might or might not go the way of Detroit, and more.
Some Illinois lawmakers continue to deny that covid aid and other federal stimulus bailed the state out of its fiscal mess. But a look at past and projected revenues from COGFA shows just how much the bailouts blew out the state’s revenues. And now that they’re over, how much harder it will be for Illinois revenues to grow.
Election integrity – both real and perceived – is essential to government’s legitimacy and stability. Illinois, like the rest of the nation, better fix its problems now.
