With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

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.
I actually admire her for doubling down on it. A Republican would have apologized for the next decade for allowing the thought to cross his mind and would have sacrificed his first born at the altar of blacks to show appropriate contrition. The communists don’t care what decent people think.
How about stepping up Lightfoot and fighting crime! You are losing the city.
Ta da rona the destroyer is on her way
She’s a racist bigot. Why isn’t the City Council demanding she apologize? Why isn’t the media making a point of this ridiculous action. it is ridiculous that anyone listens to her or follows anything she says. This is a stunt trying to distract people, blaming the white media, for the problems in Chicago. She needs to go as she is causing more division and hate.
Why hasn’t any of the gutless, sycophants in the white media asked for her to resign? That’s what needs to happen. But people like Ahern have been kissing up to her and not reporting fairly for so long, they are too gutless to say it. That goes for Kass too. If a white mayor would have said it, the city would be burning. But Lori and her blm buddies get away with overt racism.
Lori proves her racism. Why doesn’t she consider disabled people a minority. She and her administration has been at war with the disabled for years.
The mayor of *Any-town USA* is a white male (R)…
Were he to limit the reporters he’s willing to speak with to *only white* ones, he would immediately (& rightfully so) come under fire from all sides…
Yet LL can do essentially the exact same thing, & think it’s perfectly fine to do so…?
She has just proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, that she DOES NOT represent ALL of her constituency fairly & without prejudice…
In fact acting in a prejudice way is exactly what she did…
What would Jesse do – Boycott. That’s right, boycott any reporter and their organization that interviews Lightfoot and call them out for participating in this racist scheme. Oh wait, they’re part of the media that hides this type of crap and only reports on racism when it suits their narrative.
One might conclude that, like so many mere humans, Lightfoot is a just a humble one trick pony who got paid (near 1.5 million a year) by a law firm to loudly cry “Racism.” It worked for her in corporate practice, so she hallucinates that it will work running (ruining) this city. It is the only trick she knows, her only song and legacy, the only picture she will ever know how to paint.
According to definition of Black or Brown, Asians are “White”. Anti-Asian hate crimes are starting to be reported in mainstream media. But perpetrators of these anti-Asian hate crimes appear anecdotally to be a higher percentage of Black or Brown persons than their statistical percentage of the entire population. Is Lightfoot allowing Asian reporters to interview her? If not, is she indicating that Asians are not persecuted, or that Asian persecution is less worthy than her particular definition of systemic racism? “In New York City, where anti-Asian hate crime soared nearly nine-fold in 2020 over the year before, only two of the… Read more »
““I thought it was jarring,” said Brian Levin, executive director of the center, noting that the finding runs counter to assumptions made by many that perpetrators of anti-Asian hate are mostly angry white men who blame China for the COVID-19 pandemic.””
How stupid can Brian Levin be? I mean, really, how stupid can this guy be?
Well, he is the executive director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism, so…..
Zing!
Overt discrimination, baldly stated by elected official = winnable punitive damages court case. What a stupid, stupid, stupid politician. She’s walked herself into a trap, becoming unelectable to a 2nd term. Hope her staffers read this blog. They’ve got a BIG MESS to clean-up in a hurry.
Maybe Lightfoot should check herself into a clinic, claim “exhaustion”, and take cover, stating her bipolar disorder meds aren’t working anymore.
Only a truly dyed in the wool racist would make any decision based on skin color. The mayor’s true “colors” are showing.
