"He professes to be a Christian," Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Sunday. "This is not the Christianity and the teachings of the Bible that I know. And I think religious leaders all across the country are standing up and denouncing exactly this." Lightfoot has slammed the decision to bus migrants as "racist" and added in her remarks Sunday that the policy was "unpatriotic."

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

In no universe is BD Lori qualified to reference the bible or question the faith of another individual. She’s a foul mouthed hate spewing troll of the highest order. Shut up and get busy welcoming your new citizens.
You forgot practicing homosexual.
As a gay person, her witless and shameful antics make me want to go back *into* the closet, lol…!!! I mean, the gay community struggled for all these past decades to find some acceptance and legitimacy, and THIS is the squalid result…!!!??? She is a horrible person, plain and simple…
It’s unfortunate she’s a member of the LGBTQ community – not the type of spokesperson any group would want.
Hopefully Chicagoans are awake and aware and don’t retain her in office.
To be it mildly, she’s not a nice person and has failed in her leadership role.
Well according to many protestors it is the overly faithful that are doing the anti-abortion thing so Lori’s opinion on the faith level of an anti-abortion state is in conflict with a usual liberal mantra. Someone should fill her in on that.
So after a mere 100 CRIMINAL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS Lightfoot and her Sanctuary City policy has a meltdown? While Obama and Biden have opened the gates for literally 10’s of millions of criminal illegal immigrants since 2009? Lightfoot (and Rham before her) prevented all efforts of Chicago Police to aid Border Police in finding, arresting and deporting this multitude of criminals. Disgusting. And who pays the price for the criminal illegal immigrants? Taxpayers and everyone who works a low wage job. The poverty you see in inner cities and rural areas is partially caused by tens of millions of criminals who… Read more »
‘Theater of the Absurd’ in Chicago and Illinois with the Democrats.
Longest running tragedy play in Illinois and it will continue until Cook County voters wake up or walk out!
Now she is asking for non profits to join in. Guess it’s to much already. Those two bus loads. Also I didn’t know she has such a strong faith. Ha! Ha!
Abbott has faith that Chicago with its 40 year history as a sanctuary city can easily handle a couple of busloads of migrants. Unless it can’t. Looks like it can’t.
Lori could be more revolting if she chewed leaf tobacco and had a spit cup on the podium.
now that’s funny
You mewling quim, this has nothing to do with religion… This is simple HUCKSTERISM. Lori, you are a carney.
History will barely look back on your tenure. It will be indifferent to your failure.
Just another hopey, changey, I will represent everybody, POS.
Lightfoot needs aggressive mental health intervention — with full power electro shock treatments
This is probably the first time she has used the words faith and patriotic in a sentence since she has been in office, and of course it is about someone else. What a fool – all the taxpayers will soon see an explosion of social services, the related bureaucracy that goes with it and higher taxes to pay for it all.
Lori, like every communist, tries to use Abbott’s values against him. She accuses him of not following Christianity and the Bible even though she herself doesn’t not believe in either. She thinks that appealing to his religion will somehow change his mind. Do not ever let the communist use your own values against you.
She should be thanking Gov. Abbott for helping her take the focus off the nearly 50 people shot in Chicago over this holiday weekend and putting it on 50 illegal immigrants.
Lori, Sanctuary Welcoming City talk is cheap as long as Texas is paying for it.
Abbott has given you an opportunity to show how generous you can be other people’s money. Time for you to step up and be all you can be.
You better hope he doesn’t start sending them here by the thousands or that will be the straw that breaks Chicago’s financial back and sends you back to Ohio.
Lori loves this distraction from the fact she ruined the city. She can’t be troubled with city business, she’s too busy being caring. She’s nothing but a total fraud.
She likely doesn’t know what “sanctuary” means.
