Insurrection or Advocacy? Chicago Mayor Lightfoot Issues “Call to Arms” After Leaked Abortion Ruling – Jonathan Turley

"In the aftermath of the firebombing of a pro-life office and the doxing of Supreme Court justices, the “call to arms” was alarming for many, particularly given the violent protests in Chicago in prior years. I do not believe that Lightfoot is encouraging anything other than peaceful advocacy. Yet, it is striking how virtually identical language has been used by Democrats to seek the disqualification of GOP members and criminal charges against figures like Donald Trump. Indeed, such rhetoric featured greatly in the second impeachment of Donald Trump."

After an in-depth consultation with her fortune teller, Lori has determined the need for a cloak against criminal prosecution. Lori has made the momentous decision to become a full time victim of oppression. She’s assuming the republicans won’t go after her if she can pull off the gay victim! Black, gay and short have nothing to do with it! The root cause is Lori Lightfoot, who can’t play nice with anyone. People offer her help or advice and she gives everyone the finger!

Just think how many times democraps called the rioting, looting, arson, criminal damage, violent crimes and assorted other serious crimes, peaceful protests. Kyle Rittenhouse was some sort of a 17yr old white supremacists but the black guy who rammed his car into a parade in Wisconsin killing 6 and injuring dozens isnt even mentioned, ever, by anyone.

Considering how unhinged the Democrats are, and their track record of violence and social upheaval, with the intent to intimidate, silence, and destroy, it’s not correct to assume that nut job Lightfoot is encouraging “peaceful advocacy”.

Gosh we better be careful. BD Lori may just decide to teach us all a thing or two. Of course, given the fact that she can’t control the city she leads in any way, shape or form, I doubt anyone is getting concerned. Her base constituents will use any opportunity to burn, loot and murder. They don’t listen to her though.

Insurrection? More like a pogrom. She’s calling for the genocide of conservatives that disagree with her. It doesn’t matter if the conservative is on the supreme court or not. This is truly dangerous rhetoric, the kind of stuff we saw before the Hutus genocided the Tutsis.

But there’s more of them than us in Chicago. She’s practically begging them to pogrom Beverly, Edison Park and Bridgeport like a Kristallnacht for conservatives. She says we’re coming for the alphabet people so they better get armed and take us out first. Truly dangerous rhetoric here. Soon she’ll be calling conservatives in Chicago cockroaches not welcome within city limits…mark my words, she’ll be saying that.

So much virtue. So little self-reflection.

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

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.
