-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
The protest disrupted and halted traffic along downtown streets at the height of rush hour. A crowd progressed nonstop through the intersection of State and Adams streets for more than 15 minutes. Along State Street, several Chicago police squad cars were defaced with anti-police graffiti.
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

The woman driving the car was later seen “on the front lines of the protest with a can of spray paint in hand”??
Paid troublemakers making fools of themselves.
On June 10, 2025, Chicago officially became a clinically sick, mentally disturbed, and legally criminal city under the so-called leadership of a political anti-American coup, Pritzker and Brandon being liable for the decline and betrayal of American morals and values, and violating the American Constitution and Federal Law.
Well said.
It’s gotten to the point, at least for me, that if they break their Billy clubs over protesters, thugs and even politicians heads . I DON’T CARE. JUST DO IT.
Car plows through protest or, car drives down road that was littered with protestors who did not have a parade permit to be in the streets? And was the “injured” woman who the crowd surrounded actually hit by this car or is CBS simply implying it?
Need to start arresting and jailing people breaking the law . Spray painting cars and buildings and fighting with police .
Streets are for cars, not demonstrators. Unless a Marxist, one should consider finding another physician if under the care of Dr. Ehrman. .
I wonder what kind of “doctor” he is. Maybe a public school administrator?

One of the attendees indicated that “the car came through the crowd and that the Police didn’t do enough to protect the demonstrators.” Uh huh…ok, so while you are marching for…something, and defacing Police cars and fighting with Police… the Police are supposed to protect demonstrators who walk down the middle of the street at an unplanned march, disrupting traffic and the rest of society. Well, Perhaps the marchers could protest in an area that is off the street, perhaps a green space that doesn’t have traffic. There they can bitch and moan about whatever their cause Du Jour is… Read more »
Who cares. We have seen this non sense before.
It would be a such a shame if Mayor BJ had a whole summer of Illegal Alien Riots — ruining all of the big summer events downtown (starting with NASCAR) — and all captured on TV with hours of humiliating and politically devastating footage. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk.

Daily Wire, More Than 100 Democrats Vote Against Resolution Denouncing Antisemitic Boulder Fire Attack, June 9, 2025
Barbara Steinmetz is not a holocaust survivor, as she was never under German control/occupation and was in Lisbon in 1940. The Holocaust began on June 22, 1941, with the German invasion of the Soviet Union. She was not even in territories where the war was happening.
Oh. Then if she is Jewish its OK to burn her? Is that your point? Anything done against Jews is OK for the antisemitic left. Disgusting.
Of course, it’s wrong to inflict any type of violence. However, that term is tossed around too casually.
Just saying that is important, and it’s what the left never does. Why not just say routinely “no lawbreaking or violence of any kind”? Because many of them want the violence. The right doesn’t say that often, either, though they haven’t needed to for the most part.
You are correct. I lived in the South Loop until I left to live in Europe in 2023. I have seen and experienced what the lack of proper law enforcement leads to.
“Barbara Steinmetz survived the Holocaust as a child, fleeing from one country to the next as her Jewish family was stripped of its citizenship.
They left Italy for Hungary, then to France and finally Portugal before finding refuge outside Europe in the Dominican Republic.”

You should read history and not rely on crass American journalists. Read Yale University professor Timothy Snyder. He is considered the preeminent holocaust historian alive.
“The Holocaust began on June 22, 1941, with the German invasion of the Soviet Union. She was not even in territories where the war was happening.” WRONG: The origins of the Holocaust began in 1933. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/timeline/holocaust As for your claim that Steinmetz “was not even in territories where the war was happening,” the record says otherwise: Jews killed during the Holocaust Hungary’s losses are estimated between approximately 270,000 and 569,000 France’s losses are estimated between approximately 72,900 and 77,320 Portugal served as a transit nation for Jews fleeing the Holocaust. They should be considered survivors (unless you contend that only… Read more »
