Mary Williams Walsh, managing editor of News Items and former NYT reporter: In eight months, Chicago will host the 2024 Democratic National Convention. To borrow a phrase from the 1968 Democratic National Convention (in Chicago), “the whole world will be watching”. This is what Chicago looks like now.

Fraudulent elections have consequences

By the time of the convention the City of Chicago will be lucky not to be burning. And given the number of people who are full time professional protesters, complaining about whatever perceived slight they have suffered, there will be a lot of action. Governor Blowhard will close his eyes, ignore it all and deny it was anything but great.

The local youts will join in for some wilding when the professional agitators do their thing. This convention is a formula for disaster. There will not be enough cops to quell riots at multiple locations, so look for downtown and North Michigan Avenue to be boarded up like Miami before a hurricane. Let’s hope the whole world is watching to see what rule by Democratic Socialists is really like.

Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.

Gov. Pritzker’s ‘ethics reform’ eliminates competitive elections and choice for voters – Wirepoints on AM 560 Chicago’s Morning Answer

Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about a new law passed by the Democratic supermajority and signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker that results in brazen election interference, keeping Republicans off ballots; about a referendum that tests the waters for a renewed progressive income tax hike; about how the Parental Notification referendum question was knocked off the ballot; and why laws like that pass so easily.

Chicago needs more champions of literacy like Willie Wilson – Wirepoints

It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
