Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.

I’ll believe it when I see it. A democrat not voting for a democrat is like a tiger changing it’s stripes into polka dots.
I’m pretty certain the suburban ‘Karens’ will continue to vote Leftist – it is a cult. The suburban Karens where told to offer their young children to Moloch, and they gleefully did so.

2. The 2022 gerrymander is looking like a dummymander using Trump era voting patterns as a baseline. One pundit called it political malpractice. I bet this seat isn’t even on the Republicans radar but just like joe Walsh won against melissa bean, raja is going packing to K steeet in January.
