In the wake of a deadly school shooting in his state, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is pointing his finger at Chicago to argue the case for why he opposes stricter gun laws. At a May 25 press conference, the governor said, “I hate to say this, there are more people that are shot every weekend in Chicago than there are in schools in Texas,” Abbott said. “So, if you’re looking for a real solution, Chicago teaches that what you’re talking about is not a real solution.”
But Illinois Democrats, including the state’s governor and Chicago Mayor, Lori Lightfoot, are clapping back and telling Abbott to stay in his lane.
Truth hurts. So do the bullets flying around formerly safe parts of Chicago.
Do something to stop the carnage? Naah. Virtue signaling is easier. Blame the gun, blame climate change, call everyone racist, but in reality do nothing.
Illinois pols are the worst kind of scum.

To the left exposing the narrative that covers up the most heinous is worse than the heinous. Doesn’t Lori know that the whole world has “Chicago” coming out its mouth? Too much CNN Lori.

38 shot in Chicago already this holiday weekend. Uvalde is heartbreaking, but no one wants to mention about the WEEKLY heartbreak in Chicago. And obviously the ineffective Chicago Democrat leaders don’t want anyone to mention that they have done absolutely nothing to reduce Chicago’s problem. Gun bans don’t work– but let’s not let anyone know that. Right Lightfoot and Pritzker?

LL and JB don’t realize the Chicago is the red state whipping boy for bad governance and malfeasance. Tucker Carlson’s first documentary was about the violence in Chicago and how it is out of control. Ald. Lopez was featured prominently in the documentary. Virtually every conservative of any influence has seen it. But LL and JB live in this fantasy world where they don’t consume and aren’t even aware of how often Chicago is mocked, ridiculed and laughed at by every red state and conservative. This is one of the rare times that the ridicule crosses over from the conservative… Read more »

Greg Abbott keep talking Illinois democratic demons don’t want to be exposed anymore than they are
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.
