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 radio based communications of the CPD are antique. Listening tonight was something very educational as every looting was detailed. One pirate radio user actually tried to report a looting, then became abusive. “Triangulation service” was requested. Essential services providers of Chicago will be driving to the suburbs to buy food and clothing for many months. The stores they used don’t exist anymore.

Good article in USA today saying most of the rioting seems to be driven by far left agitators from outside Minneapolis. Antifa perhaps? As one resident says ““Ain’t no black person burning down no damn barbershops in their hood,” Livingstone, 23, said. “We’re not doing that.” When you have a bunch of white guys in masks stirring things up the question needs to be asked.
Don’t let USA today gaslight you. Trust your eyes, we all see the videos. It was urban residents – white hipsters and african minorities burning and looting.
The Democratic agitator machine has allegedly been in existence for decades as exposed in the four part YouTube series by Project Veritas Action in 2016 named Rigging the Election.
