Ted joined The Morning Buzz with Cat of 92.9 Bloomington to discuss the rise of car thefts in Chicago.
At the current pace, Chicago is on track for at least 12,000 car thefts this year. That’s almost 33 thefts a day. Thefts are up most sharply, 104 percent, in Chicago’s prime lakefront communities that stretch from 31st Street on the south through downtown and on to the city’s northern limits.

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.
This is how cities die — when you can’t park your car on your own street, that city no longer works for you, and you move somewhere else. Ask Detroit how that worked out for them.
M. Garland, BO’s buddy and choice for the SCOTUS is derelict of his duty as Attorney General. Blaming it on the states, while partially true, ignores the influence the FED might have on the states to help protect our law abiding citizens. Every liberal judge who accepts pittances for bail, is derelict of his/her duty. There needs to be a website that shows the bench set bail or sentence and the subsequent criminal activities that are as result of their weakness/wokeness. In the absence of accountability how can there ever be change?
