Another big blue sanctuary city is struggling with mass illegal migration. This would be the sitting at the center of the country, with the distinctive architecture and a population just short of 2 million, 700 thousand. A place where 695 people were slain last year. The city's long-suffering residents (about 45% white) are again on the warpath. The focus of their angst is that their most recent black radical mayor has decided to perpetually house new migrants being bussed into the city. A month ago, residents gathered for a "community" meeting inside Amundsen Park field house on Tuesday evening to express their dissatisfaction:
The amazing part of the sad story is that Chicago residents keep voting for the same type of mayor over and over again. They are radical democrats, and the results are always the same: high crime, high taxes, looting, rioting and now the housing of massive numbers of illegal migrants. After all Chicago is a sanctuary city. If those migrants are not housed in such a place they might just get deported as American law prescribes.
The current clown governing the once great city of Chicago is Brandon Johnson
Brandon Johnson
As you can see, he has all the right qualifications. He is black, radical and has a (D) after his name. The mayor has responded to the complaints by blaming the previous radical mayor, and of course..."the right wing."
Tuesday, he told an angry mob the following:
"Did you know when I was sworn in in May, the previous City council did not budget for 2023's migrant mission ," Johnson added. "So not only have we stood up the full force of government in a collaborative way, we did it without the previous city council even providing resources for it."

Beyond that:
At least 20,000 migrants have poured into Chicago since August 2022, when many migrants were bused from the southern border states to liberal cities farther north. Efforts have been underway to strip Chicago of its sanctuary city status as some residents sound off about the issue.
In addition to the influx of migrants who lack shelter, an estimated 68,000 Chicago citizens are considered homeless, Fox News Digital reported earlier this month.

Good morning
Nothing warms me up on a cold morning like Anisette in coffee. My grandmother introduced me to it when I first started working.
Then there is this:
Nearly 4,000 U.S. car dealers are asking President Biden to tap the brakes on proposed emissions regulations designed to ensure that two-thirds of new passenger cars are all-electric by 2032.
Car dealers tell Biden: Customers aren't ready for electric cars (axios.com)
It seems that people aren't interested in buying a super expensive car that doesn't go very far before requiring a charge that could take 30 minutes or more.
I'll bet that Biden simply ignores them.
Plus he is negotiating to remove hydroelectric dams, so we want electric vehicles that we can't charge.
I read that story this morning..............

Brown University president Christina Paxson planned to say "every student, faculty and staff member should be able to proudly wear a Star of David or don a keffiyeh on the Brown campus, or to cover their head with a hijab or yarmulke." After pro-Palestinian protesters heckled her, she cut references to Jewish students from her remarks.

DeSantis - Newsom debate tonight on Hannity
Still haven't figured out why..........................
DeSantis is probably looking for a bump in the polls. I'm sure that Newsom, despite not being an official candidate wants to be seen as an alternative should something happen with sleepy Joe. It should improve the debating skills of both men.
Good points all.....................
Who is DeSantis ?
Be careful, it is 11:AM and I put on my ass kicking shoes again.
You've never kicked anyone's ass on this forum Vic.
Possibly your next president.
Wednesday, you and a few others came out to slander a young Native American boy. You got your ass handed to you as did they, and that incident is not over.
I slandered no one. Post the comment where I slandered the boy.
How many times did you say he wore "black face?"
The idea that Chicago will be brought down by a "migrant crisis" is laughable. It is a wet dream of the right that "blue cities" will be ruined by immigration from the south.
About 30% of the Chicago population is hispanic (Chicago has the largest Mexican American population of any northern city, and has for a couple decades. )
And it is borderline racist to criticize Brandon Johnson because he is black, as the seeded article does.
Then why is Chicago crying about the illegals they said they would take in with their Sanctuary Shithole declaration?
And to claim Chicago is an international hub for finance, culture , commerce, industry, education, technology, telecommunications, and transportation is as laughable as saying Biden policies are working.
One would have to have a pretty low IQ to think the article criticizes him because he's black. I criticize him because he's running a shit hole. I, and many others, could give a fuck less about his skin color.
The city of Chicago thought they could not do any worse than Lori Lightfoot. They were wrong, they voted in Johnson!
That's the result of asking "How stupid can you be".
But yet they keep doing it. Brings to mind Einstein's definition of insanity.
You posted that before.
The decent folk who work in those office building live in the Chicago suburbs.
And it is borderline racist to criticize Brandon Johnson because he is black, as the seeded article does.
He was criticized for being unqualified. Being black is not supposed to be a qualification. I thought all of you learned something yesterday.
You know nothing about Chicago. Almost 75 % of the citys population is not black. The white people alone who live within the city limits is close to a million people. That would make the white people of Chicago the size of the 10th largest city in the country (Austin).
There are more white people that live in Chicago than there are people of all colors who live in Charlotte, or San Francisco, or Boston, or Nashville, or Denver, or Seattle, or Las Vegas.
Its not a qualification. [deleted]
Unlike what the democrat party and democrats believe, African Americans, and all people no matter what the color of their skin are equal, just because democrats think some people are inferior based on skin color doesn't mean that they are, and they should be judged on the quality of their work and character, there should NOT be different criteria based on skin color for judging performance.
“And it is borderline racist to criticize Brandon Johnson because he is black, as the seeded article does”
Give it a fucking break. If somebody does a shitty job they’re going to get criticized regardless of skin color.
Bingo!
You are not helping him. He brought up Johnson's skin color, if he did it for no reason that makes it even worse.

I'm surprised you would post such a ludicrous "truth".

Shit the hair on fire folks acted like she wore white FFS
Notice how far back Michele Obama is?
They never change do they?
Hillary, like many here, got her ass kicked yesterday at that silly class she is teaching at Columbia:
Pro-Palestinian protesters confronted Hillary Clinton outside her class at Columbia University in New York City on Wednesday, amid the Israel-Hamas war.
Video shared on X shows Clinton walking past a common area of Columbia University's International Affairs Building as demonstrators chant, "Hillary, Hillary you can’t hide, you are supporting genocide." The protest, staged outside the lecture, was said to have disrupted a class taught by the former first lady and secretary of state called "Inside the Situation Room."

Not only that, see how Hills is keeping Bill away from Melania LOL
I think Bill has been forced into retirement as far as womanizing goes.
On the other hand, those other first ladies are a bit frightened of Melania.
As she once said: Be the best you can.

Be Best by marrying alleged billionaire who picked me from a slovenian brothel.
Melania, taking after her husband, probably elbowed her way to the front.
Anything to deflect from the fact that Jimmy Carter had a better idea why he was there than Joe Biden did.
Wow, did she ever fail, bigly..
Yeah that’s why they chose (I’m sure not by Jimmy) Imagine by John Lennon to be sung at the funeral. Yep she wanted peace but to sing “Imagine there’s no heaven, it’s easy if you try, no hell below us, above us only sky” was so fucking appropriate for a woman of deep faith.
and if you don’t think it was a photo op for the rest of the has beens, I feel bad for you.
as far as I’m concerned Laura Bush was the only sincere one.
The people you are calling has beens were invited because they are ex presidents and ex first ladies, which is exactly why Melania Trump was invited.
No, I didn't accuse the first lady of being a sex worker, you missed the real troll.
Maybe she'll grace the White House one more time.

We don't need a whore like her in the WH.
Is it on the woman and not the John?
Don't you have one with Bill Clinton and Epstein?
I ain't saying she's a gold digger. . . wait. . . What?!
In your haste, you missed the point I'm telegraphing. . . how she got in this picture.
That is what we expect from you and the lefties here.
The funny part is how many democrats were involved.
