"But I've got a message for him in the common theme in these misogynistic and racist rants: the thing you need to remember, Mr. President, we are all tough women, and we're not going to take any stuff from anybody. Even if his name starts with Mr. President. I will always, I will always honor the office of the president, but please do not ask me to honor this occupant because I do not."

If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades
April 3, 2026

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.
Trump isn’t “targeting cities with female mayors”. He’s targeting cities with ineffectual, incompetent mayors.
OMG
She is reaching.
She attacks white rush street businesses but the ghetto street parties and house parties are allowed and unenforceable by CPD on her orders. Also allowed are the gay pride/BLM/ shit show parade on Sunday with thousands partying in the bars. Not a word of street parties and shooting at the Puerto Rican fest. She is a racist and the whole asshole media is afraid of her. And her latest a **kisser little twerp punk Colin Boyle from the racist, anti cop, pro criminal, pro offender tag block club is trolling the wrigleyville bars with fat ass Lori suckass anti cop… Read more »
I get that Lightfoot doesn’t value the thoughts, ideas, and contributions of our senior citizens. Lightfoot believes we should ignore what older generations are saying because they have outlived their usefulness to society. Lightfoot is entitled to her misogynistic views on the elderly. While many of us don’t share her discriminatory viewpoint, she’s entitled to her bigoted opinion. Ageism is everywhere, so it’s not surprising Lightfoot is prejudiced.
Another gaslighting attempt by Lightfoot. Making up fictitious narratives in her head. She needs a shrink.
Wouldn’t you think she’d want any help she can get to stop the unbelievable violence and killings? From anyone. Maybe the FBI and Federal agencies can help, maybe they can’t, but isn’t it worth a try? Sheesh. Clearly there is no control in place.
She is a narcissist. She would rather maintain absolute control than yield position and allow someone else to take credit for any improvement whatsoever.
This woman would never succeed at even middle level management at any company.
Good grief, what a partisan lunatic.
Enjoy the misery Chicago, you voted for it!
Oh my Lord…what a stupid woman.
Hey, sweetie…if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Eternal victim, this Mayoress.
The half-woman is a complete idiot…
Sure.
Trump got out his pink and blue mayor map and targeted pink.
What a joke she is. Any whisper of the truth is met with a cry of racism, sexism or any “ism” that can result in the escape from rational dialogue. This is a simplistic and juvenile tactic but is the only way a liberal has to avoid the truth at all cost. She can say what she wants but when she goes to bed at night it has to hurt so bad to know the orange man is 100% correct! Keep lying to your followers, Lori. It’s all that you have.
It’s the old, beat on the law if the law is on your side, beat on the facts if the facts are on your side, and if neither, then just beat on the other party. Lori knows she’s got nothing, the murder of multiple innocent children is indefensible. She cannot point to any measures she’s taken that work. And everything Trump say in the letter is absolutely correct – she has failed at her leadership and failed the people of Chicago. I mean, she says that the riots were just letting off steam from the 1619 virus. So she chooses… Read more »
The incompetent have few tactics besides projection and personal slander. She is a massive magnification of this truth, can’t tackle basic problems, and therefore more of a pissy Snowflake than anything “tough.”
She’s not only incompentent, she’s progressive. The problem with progressive ideals is that they usually fail when met with reality. If you defund the police, criminals will run rampant. If you demand high density housing, people will abandon it when communicable diseases appear. If you subsidize unhealthy lifestyles, people will get sick. If you pay crappy union teachers to ‘teach’ intersectional ideas while ignoring the three R’s, you get a generation of stupid children. If you focus on 9 unarmed black men killed a year by the police but ignore the tens of thousands of other murders of black on… Read more »
Exactly. Thanks for expanding on the theme.
Awesome comment, debtsor. It’s so simple, isn’t it?
I upvoted you but I do wonder why conservatives insist on using the language of the left. “Progressive”, “anti-abortion”, “civil rights leader King”, etc. I wish conservatives would universally describe these people as Marxists and Third World invaders. Not let them get away with their more positive “progressive”.
The term Marxist to them is viewed more more favorably than progressive. They’d rather be called Marxists. King was a civil rights leaders. What followed unfornatuntely over the last 50 years was the abandonment of his ideals for intersectionality instead.
The Mamet principle:
In order to continue advancing their illogical arguments modern leftists have to pretend not to know things…
Tough, hardly Lori all you are is a big mouthed blow hard. You will never have my respect.
