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.
Lori and the black caucus especially Sophia King are totally in bed with the gangs. Their entire freebie patronage violent interruption scam is intended to give the gangs money and cover. All these fake street pastors are nothing but gang members doing Loris and the black caucus work.
Good morning Mr Lopez, it’s pretty clear you lurk here. We are behind you 100% to stop the crime. It is the gangs, everyone know this except for the college educated folk on the north side who know little about gang or gang life.
He sounds too much like a Republican to ever win an election for mayor here.
Another stupid comment by a socialist anti American stupid social justice warrior.
Rick is right. Chicagoans are a stupid breed of self-selecting progressives who voluntarily choose to live within the city limits. The city is filled with rich progressives, gang bangers and medicaid recipients. Chicagoans are living in the paradise they voted for and they like it.
Lopez is running for mayor. Chicago is overdue for a Latino mayor, demographically-speaking, and looks like Lopez wants the crown, if the gangs don’t get him first.
Bravo alderman Lopez for tellen it like it is!! The fake progressive liberatzies w thier blm signs in the front yard will only care when the violence spills into thier n side neighborhoods & schools
Alderman Beale’s got some backbone as well
