“It’s crystal clear now from all kinds of evidence that BLM is a Marxist, antisemitic, anti-family violent organization. The individuals who have their BLM signs in their yards, what are they thinking? Some of these may be well-intentioned people, but they’re just not paying attention to what the organization is really about.”
“Some say ‘its the movement I support, its just a phrase, I don’t care about the organization.’ But that’s the problem, by using that phrase, you are supporting that organization, giving them credibility.”

Ted was on The Chicago Way with John Kass and Jeff Carlin to discuss the proposed $5 billion lakefront stadium project proposed by the Chicago Bears & Mayor Brandon Johnson, why Chicago is struggling compared to other metro areas across the country, why the city might or might not go the way of Detroit, and more.
Some Illinois lawmakers continue to deny that covid aid and other federal stimulus bailed the state out of its fiscal mess. But a look at past and projected revenues from COGFA shows just how much the bailouts blew out the state’s revenues. And now that they’re over, how much harder it will be for Illinois revenues to grow.
Election integrity – both real and perceived – is essential to government’s legitimacy and stability. Illinois, like the rest of the nation, better fix its problems now.
Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about Chicago’s latest bond offering, why Chicago’s dismal home value growth is due to poor policies, the next $70 million to be spent on migrants, the 9% salary hikes demanded by the CTU, and why Illinois lawmakers voting to stop Chicago’s selective enrollment schools from being closed is hypocritical.

BLM is the truth. Everyone should want good treatment by the pig cops.
Beating of minorities is nothing new.
Beating of anyone is nothing new.
The Blue line is a real thing.
The cops are not your friend, they beat up everyone and look the other way.
The only thing cops care about is a HUGE PENSION to buy a luxury home in Florida at age 42. Thank you cops union.
Illinois “Land of Slavery”
Pretty ignorant – it’s called virtue signaling
BLM-Blue Lives Matter. Thanks for supporting your local Police dept.
I don’t know why you would think they are well intentioned.
Hi Chase.
Every admissions office makes a mistake, which it probably doesn’t want to admit. UC Law made a mistake when admitting Lori Lightfoot, which may have been because of her skin color. Diversity in action. The law school isn’t what it was. When the schools are opened, if they ever are, the classrooms will corral lots of kids who’ve been “free-ranging”, “wilding”, or learning how to pillage [it takes a village to pillage, no?]. How you gonna keep ’em subdued to learn when they’ve experienced unfettered “freedom”? As for “online learning”, where are those laptops of yore? A week ago a… Read more »
They are anti-nuclear family, anti-semitic, anti-capitalist, anti-founding American values
Isn’t everyone asking for the identical thing: equal protection under the law?
Is this the case: that police brutality alleged to be disproportionately directed at one ethnicity was met with a wink-wink nudge-nudge by authorities, and now arson, felony theft, and assault and battery alleged to be disproportionately directed at another dicretely identifiable ethnicity is being met with a wink-wink nudge- nudge by authorities?
It seems obvious that the villains are those who are winking-and-nudging all the way to the bank.
They can be identified by color:purple: the incestuous corrupt collusion of red and blue political class nobility.
Sometimes wisdom like that is hiding in plain sight, but unstated. Well said.
Lori is the greatest mayor ever.
U sir r a DAM FOOL
You are s quack.
now now Dylan. The adults are talking here. Get back downstairs.
I think (hope) it has a lot to do with avoiding boycotts and arson. We see pro choice because Planned Parenthood doesn’t want to say pro abortion. From an ethical standpoint, how much worse is it than a municipal finance firm hiring Madigan allies or a senator’s son? Or Joe fixing things for Hunter? Or Trump supporters declining to post yard signs? I don’t know how to quantify hypocrisy although I sense it’s increasing. But it’s a sliding scale between politicians’ campaign promises and rank mendacity. There may be different circles of the inferno for rascals like Don Giovanni and… Read more »
Excellent interview Mark. Sooner or later you will see some backlash against those corporations that cave in a slobbery and cowardly manner. I am anxious to see what happens if the NBA goes thru with the stupid idea of having a BLM logo on the court when their abbreviated season opens up shortly. Ten people have already told me if they see that nonsense on the floor the TV goes off.
I have a BLM sign in my yard to prevent lunatics from vandalizing my property.
I wonder how common that is. We know many store owners have done so.
Ya me to but in a different form 2 glock19 500 rounds and 2 ar 15 come let’s dance
The Civil War has started. No shots have been fired yet. Soon, soon….and it won’t be the freedom loving capitalists that shoot first.
Well let’s hope it doesn’t lead to a civil war but yes it seems it has unfortunately started, and it’s not on the average every day person, this all falls on are POLITICIANS
