Zohran Mamdani's Top Goon Spills the Beans: NYPD? Who Cares?

Folks, if New York City pulls the trigger on Zohran Mamdani as its next mayor come November, we're talking about a catastrophe that'd make even the clown show in Chicago look like a well-oiled machine. And that's saying something when you've got disasters like Lori Lightfoot, Karen Bass, London Breed, and Brandon Johnson cluttering up the mayoral Rolodex of shame.

But stand by because Mamdani, the guy who's built a career on spitting in the face of anyone in a badge, is barreling toward victory. He just might become the king of the rotting core, presiding over the Big Apple's express elevator to the bottom. And The Big Apple is where I was born and raised.

Turns out, comrade Mamdani's inner circle couldn't keep the mask on for five seconds. A key campaign hatchet man got nabbed on a hidden cam dropping truth bombs about how much his boss gives exactly zero flying figs about the NYPD or the blue line bleeding out there:

A top campaign staffer for Zohran Mamdani was apparently caught on hidden camera admitting "who gives a s**t" what police officers think of the Democratic mayoral nominee.

"They’re city employees. You get told what to do, shut up," Robert Akleh, a progressive political consultant and the citywide canvass manager for the campaign, says in the clip.

"When did you get an opinion?" he can be seen telling an "undercover" operative for conservative podcaster Steven Crowder about NYPD cops' opinion of the front-runner socialist candidate.

Mamdani's rap sheet on the NYPD reads like a greatest hits of cop-hating fever dreams: He's branded them the mortal enemies of everyday New Yorkers, especially the "queer" crowd he loves to virtue-signal over. The communist guy has been pounding the defund drum since forever, only dialing it back to a whisper now that the cameras are rolling.

Oh, and let's not forget his viral glee-fest over an NYPD cop's raw, heartbroken tears, like, who needs empathy when you've got that sweet, sweet schadenfreude?

And don't get me started on his anti-Semitism.

It's almost poetic, isn't it? The same Left that spent years screeching at federal workers to "resist" Trump like their lives depended on it now demands that city grunts snap to attention for a mayor who'd sooner gut their budgets, tie their hands, and hand out engraved invitations to early graves. Blind loyalty or bust, comrades—because nothing says "progress" like watching good men die for a utopia that hates them.

If you like Brain Flushings and want to Buy Me a Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work. Obviously, there is no pressure but I certainly wouldn't stop you.

Chicago Mayor-elect makes excuses for rampaging youths as the city circles the bowl

Chicago's Democrat Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson couldn't get an entire first paragraph out about the teen takeover riots that terrorized the Windy City, destroying property, and wrecking violence as hundreds of youths descended upon the downtown area for two consecutive nights, without making excuses for their wild behavior.

On one side of his mouth, Johnson condemned the rioting, and on the other side said that condemning them is "not constructive." But he doesn't offer any alternative and condemning them following up with consequences for their violence and destruction, seems like it might make them, or other young people, think before they rampage. 

Attacking innocent bystanders, destroying property, firing guns in the streets should be vilified, should have consequences.

Two teenage males, 16 and 17, were shot while hanging out in a crowd during the rioting on Saturday night. They were taken to the hospital and listed in fair condition.

Hundreds of teens smashed cars, fought in the streets and blocked traffic. Johnson responded to the rioting in a statement Sunday:

"In no way do I condone the destructive activity we saw in the Loop and lakefront this weekend. It is unacceptable and has no place in our city. However, it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities. 

"Our city must work together to create spaces for youth to gather safely and responsibly, under adult guidance and supervision, to ensure that every part of our city remains welcome for both residents and visitors."

Chicago police arrested nine adults and six juveniles in connection with the rampage, which was advertised on social media. A 16-year-old boy was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, while two other suspects were charged with possession of a stolen vehicle. Most of the other arrests were for reckless conduct.

Current Mayor and loser in the recent election, Lori Lightfoot, condemned the "reckless, disrespectful and unlawful behavior" on display over the weekend. She blamed the parents but, like Johnson, had no solutions other than to point fingers.

"As I have said before, we as a city cannot and will not allow any of our public spaces to become a platform for criminal conduct," Lightfoot said in a statement. "Most importantly, parents and guardians must know where their children are and be responsible for their actions. Instilling the important values of respect for people and property must begin at home."

But they, as a city, allowed their public spaces to become a platform for criminal conduct. So what the hell is she talking about? What is the city going to do about it? Blame parents, when the real problem isn't the one parent raising these kids, it's the lack of fathers in the home, the disrespect the left constantly displays for law enforcement and even the law itself?

Johnson has caught backlash from the centrist wing of the Democratic Party during the mayoral run over his history of support for defunding the police by giving funds earmarked for them to other social services. Just another position he had to walk back until now.

Johnson had proposed to fund social workers, not cops, in 2020, calling it an "actual, real political goal." But when he ran for mayor, he changed his tune and walked it back with what sounded like a Kamala Harris excuse for lying in a debate ["It was a debate, hahahaha. It was a hahahaha, debate."] Johnson said, "I said it was a political goal. I never said it was mine." 

In other words, political goals are simply goals to get elected and don't need to represent what you're really going to do.

Johnson also wants to raise taxes on financial transactions, and increase large company head tax from $1 to $4 per company employee, and raise $98 million in jet fuel tax. All this in order to provide all kinds of services to illegal aliens and even allow them to vote in school board elections. 

What is also very important to him is to protect the right to kill the unborn and punish those who misgender people disguised as members of their opposite sex.

So don't expect much of a difference between Lori Lightfoot and Brandon Johnson when it comes to crime and leftist values.

Brandon Johnson is Chicago's new progressive mayor

Chicago has elected Brandon Johnson another leftist to fill in as Mayor of the city replacing the execrable Lori Lightfoot, who came in a miserable third in the Democrat runoff.

"I may be a millionaire, but at least I'm not a billionaire!"

Johnson is endorsed by fellow communist Bernie Sanders which should tell you a bit as to how Johnson will run the joint after he defeated his moderate opponent, Paul Vallas, the former Chicago Public Schools CEO. Vallas had the support of the city's police union and major business groups, while Johnson that the backing of the Chicago Teachers Union.

Lightfoot, who was one of the most incompetent people in power, became the first Chicago mayor in four decades to lose a re-election bid.

One of the deciding reasons Lightfoot is gone has to do with the crime climbing through the proverbial roof during her mishandling of it and her call for defunding the police while people were being killed in the city.

The now-former mayor came in third in the general election, losing to Johnson by five points, while Vallas took the plurality of votes and lost in the final election.

Lightfoot broke the glass ceiling in Chicago as homicides in 2021 hit a 25-year-high as it soared to 797, as reported by the Chicago PD. She was also the first black lesbian mayor thereby proving that ability trumps identity every time.

Now Chicagoans will find out whether things improve in their town. If not, the smart ones will leave because while Jussie Smollett believes Chicago is "MAGA country," it's a one-party city and it isn't the Republican Party at all.

Lori Lightfoot light on the votes she need: 1st Chicago mayor to lose re-election in 40 years

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) lost her re-election bid on Monday and now the city of Chicago has the possible chance of lowering its crime rate, as she was as useless as crutches for a gimpy goldfish when it came to that issue. 

Under the openly gay, Black mayor, the crime rate continues to soar like a rocket, and I think it's going to be a long, long time before it touches down, but at least now there is a distinct chance that it will. However, in 2021, the homicides in the Windy City rose to their highest level in 25 years and blew away cities like Los Angeles and New York.

Paul Vallas

Perhaps the biggest problem for the city was Lightfoot's overt criticism with police, which led to a hemorrhaging of officers leaving the force. Of course, crime rose to new heights and Lightfoot was impotent to assuage the problem.

Anyway, Lightfoot squared off against 8 other challengers in the mayoral race and she failed to make it to the runoff as she finished in third place. 

The finale saw Paul Vallas, the city's Public School CEO and city budget director, and Cook County Board of Commissioners Brandon Johnson as the two top contenders and they will face off on April 4th while Lightfoot complains about racism, in spite of losing to Brandon Johnson who is Black and Vallas who is an American of Greek descent. 

Brandon Johnson

Due to the number of candidates in the race for the Democratic nomination, none reached the 50% level that would have taken them over the hump and eliminated the field.

The internet was delighted to see the Black lesbian leave office in the near future. The birds of Twitter went into a tweeting frenzy with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) tweeting: "Lori Lightfoot. Crime doesn't pay."

Gianno Caldwell, a FOX News political analyst whose brother was murdered in Chicago last summer under Lightfoot's watch wrote that the Lori Lightfoot "experiment" is "officially over. Thank you, CHICAGO."

"There is hope for my home city yet," legal expert and FOX News Jonathan Turley posted. "Lori Lightfoot is out. The greatest potential improvement for the city since 1900 when the direction of the Chicago river was reversed."

Former Presidential Press Secretary and FOX News cohost of "Outnumbered," Kayleigh McEnany, tweeted about what she said of Lightfoot in 2020, calling her the "derelict mayor of Chicago" regarding her mishandling of crime in the city. McEnany suggested that Lightfoot seek federal assistance to help cope with the wave of crime, to which Lightfoot arrogantly replied: "Hey Karen. Watch your mouth."

"Lori Lightfoot lost her election," McEnany tweeted on Monday. "Perhaps she should have woken up when I referred to her as the "derelict mayor of Chicago" from the White House podium for ignoring victims of crime in her city! Instead, she said "Hey, Karen. Watch your mouth"

"Karen here, you lost," McEnany said of Lightfoot's defeat.

Hey Lightfoot. Mind the door.

Maybe Democrats have finally learned their lesson and one of them is likely to win the nonpartisan mayoral election runoff on April 4th.

Chicago Mayor Lightfoot behind in latest poll for Feb. 28 election

Chicago's extraordinary [not in a good way] Mayor Lori Lightfoot for some reason is trailing former CEO of Chicago Public Schools, Paul Vallas, who leads the other hopeful candidates with 22% compared to 'Pretty Little Miss' Lightfoot with 17.1% in the poll, the Washington Examiner reported Tuesday.

Along with the pair, two others are in double digits: Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson and Rep. Jesus "Chuy" Garcia (D-IL).

In spite of Lightfoot's incredible ineptitude over her responses to crime, immigration and education, the low-information voters have not counted her out and her poll numbers have improved somewhat. It appears Chicagoans who would vote for her have very short memories.

A February 8th poll from the Chicago Sun-Times, Telemundo Chicago, NBC5 Chicago, and WBEZ Public Radio put Mayor Lightfoot in third place, with Garcia in first and Vallas in second. 

On February 14th, Vallas took the lead in a Northwestern University poll with the Lightfoot in third place. Lightfoot is the only black lesbian in the race so that gives her street creds with the Dems, so don't count her out; count her lucky.

The election is set for Feb. 28. A runoff, if necessary, would be held April 4. 

If Lori Lightfoot wins, Chicago will get the representation they deserve, good and hard.

Mayor Lightfoot is sorry for trying to recruit school kids to work for her campaign for credit

Chicago Mayor Lori "Beetlejuice" Lightfoot (D) says she sorry for emails she had her campaign send out to Chicago Public School teachers to recruit student "volunteers" and get class credit in the bargain.

Lightfoot said Thursday her staff didn't work with the school system to get out the emails asking teachers to share a form encouraging students to volunteer in exchange for class credit, but she pretended to apologize.

"There was zero, zero coercion, coordination or anything else between the campaign and Chicago Public Schools," the former beauty queen hopeful said. "Zero. I want that to be abundantly clear."

The anemic apology came one day after a news report about the email, which also went to City Colleges staff, and now the city and school district inspector generals are gathering information to see if any policies were violated, according to WBEZ Chicago.

Though Lightfoot personally apologized, she threw a young staffer under the bus to save her own butt, the news outlet also reports.

“It was a mistake," Lightfoot said, sounding like Prince Harry by never taking any blame. "She understands it was a mistake."

Lightfoot said she only learned about the matter Wednesday afternoon. And if you believe that, I have a talking turtle you might be interested in.

However, City Colleges released a statement Thursday saying they notified Lightfoot's campaign about the emails in August, when staffers first received them after being advised to do so by their Ethics Department. 

So she lied! 

"Volunteers are expected to devote 12 hrs/wk to the campaign. Students are eligible to earn class credit through our volunteer program," the form reads.

Lightfoot said a supervisor was aware of the efforts by the staffer, who was not fired, but she doesn’t think the campaign was aware of how the staffer would go about such efforts, the network reported.

Lori Lightfoot being sued by reporter whose press pass was revoked and his 1st Amendment rights violated

Chicago -- A reporter is suing Mayor Lori "Beetlejuice" Lightfoot for her "attack on the First Amendment" after he was verbally abused by her and ended up having his press credentials removed. [H/T Fox News]

"I was asking the obvious questions, and she lost her temper," journalist William Kelly said on "Fox & Friends" Wednesday, recalling a May exchange where she told him he was "full of crap."

"Mayor Lightfoot is in re-election mode, and she doesn't want any more embarrassing questions to go viral. So she revoked my media credential. … This is a very serious constitutional crisis in the city of Chicago."

So he's taking Lightfoot to court where a progressive judge will might trample on the US Constitution as well.

Kelly's press credentials were taken from him in August at which time he filed a federal lawsuit alleging Lightfoot and the Chicago PD Superintendent David Brown violated his First and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

Kelly spoke on Tucker Carlson's show "Tucker Carlson Tonight" in September at which time he said that Lightfoot and Brown helped create an altercation between him and Mayor Beetlejuice's security detail and he alleged that it was this "false report" that was used as the pretext to keep him out of press events. 

So it's likely that Kelly is an actual reporter who asks probing questions that make liberals like Lightfoot and Brown uncomfortable.

"The problem is that he sat down and wrote me a letter telling me that he was revoking my media credentials when the police department is down 1500 officers, we have an out-of-control crime epidemic, police suicide is at an all-time high," Kelly said Wednesday. "He's taking time out of his day to write me a letter telling me that he's revoking my media credential."

"I think the priorities are completely out of whack."

Kelly argued that the incompetent mayor is trying to protect herself from his questions about her "failures in performance" due to her facing re-election and warned that her actions could set a dangerous precedent for reporters and free speech in America.

"She wants to win this case against me and then expand this attack on the First Amendment to all the reporters who ask her real questions or any reporter nationally who would dare to ask a real question of a powerful politician," Kelly said.

Kelly said that this current lawsuit is really a fight to defend the First Amendment, one of the least favorite Amendments of the Left along with the Second Amendment and all the rest.

Chicago's Mayor Lightfoot finally tells Biden what's up re: illegal aliens

If hypocrisy was a politician, it would be an Independent but with much stronger leanings toward the Left; you know, like Bernie Sanders.

The Left's meltdown began when Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott (R) sent a busload of illegal aliens to the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., where Vice President Kamala Harris currently resides. For icing on the cake, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis sent 50 illegal aliens up to Martha’s Vineyard, a tony island where the elite meet to eat and greet. Barack Obama has a huge mansion there but the liberals of Martha's Vineyard, with their population of 20,000 year-round residents, felt overrun by the one busload. This sanctuary city, with their virtue-signaling lawn signs of welcoming for the illegal aliens, declared an emergency. Fifty illegal aliens in Martha's Vineyard while Texas border towns experience something in the neighborhood of 11,000 illegal aliens in ONE WEEK!

In August, Texas started sending illegal aliens to Chicago, another sanctuary city. Mayor Lori Lightfoot's office said they would be welcoming them. “As a person of faith, I believe we must see God’s presence in all human beings,” Lightfoot said. “That’s what being a good Christian is.”

Sister Lightfoot, however, freaked out when they actually arrived. She rounded them up then shipped them out to the suburbs, such as Burr Ridge after having attacked Gov. Abbott for treating them like "cargo" and not giving her advanced notice they were being sent to the Windy City. But Sister Lightfoot did exactly the same thing when she sent them packing to Burr Ridge.

Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso, a Republican, told Fox News that the migrants are being used as “political pawns,” which is true, but in this case, it's justified since the Left has used them the same way when it came to the border wall and President Trump. 

Grasso said it’s hypocritical for Lightfoot to be complaining about Abbott sending migrants to Chicago, then turning around and “sending [the migrants] out to the” suburbs. Of course he's correct, but that seems to be the rule of thumb when it comes to Democrats. 

Now that Lightfoot has gotten several hundred illegal aliens in Chicago since August, she is finally telling the Biden administration that it "has to step up" and do something about this situation, even admitting that the border situation is not a new problem. “This is not a new challenge for us. We need federal support. Resources, communication, and collaboration, and that has to come in short order.”

Biden “has to step up. This is not a new challenge at the border. We need federal support.” pic.twitter.com/uDgGHdMh7y

— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 15, 2022

“This is a national problem, it needs a national solution, cities and states cannot be left to fend for ourselves,” she said after finally removing her head from her nether regions.

At last someone on the Left is saying the truth and is calling for the so-called President to take action, in spite of the border cities who have been feeling the brunt of this making this demand for two years. And it only took a microcosm of illegal aliens to get that point across to the leftists who are finally being directly effected by the situation.

Lightfoot's anti-gun hotline was a not-line and a failure

Chicago's Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot created an anti-gun tip hotline in July 2021. The purpose of the hotline was for people to turn in their neighbors, family and all others who are known to possess a firearm and they would get money for squealing. 

Lightfoot funded this hotline with one million taxpayer dollars in order for people “who have a conscience” to take a bite out of crime and get paid for turning people into law enforcement.

After just one year since the Orwellian program began, only a pittance of people provided tips that had been verified and thus rewarded with money. At this time, a tad over 0.01%, or $10,395 of the $1,000,000 was paid out to informants, according to the Chicago Tribune.

“I want you to know that I recognize that people are scared, people all over the city. This is the topic of conversation,” Lightfoot said. “Gun violence is holding us back from realizing our individual potential and our potential and greatness as a city.”

Her solution was to get rid of violent guns, because they don't have a conscience and will shoot anyone who gets in their way. Yes, this is leftist logic, if you believe they mean it.

Lightfoot’s handpicked police superintendent, David Brown, added, “This incentive will not only bring honest people forward because of that anonymity but likely will bring people who may be involved, who have a conscience,” the Chicago Sun-Times reported. 

Turns out Brown and Lightfoot don't know much about the human condition because the first tip to Lightfoot's "Gun Trafficking and Homicide Tip Line" took ten months to happen. In May 2022, the very first tip that resulted in an arrest and charge found the tipster being paid $10,000, according to WFLD.

According to the city’s infographic for the hotline, tipsters will be paid $3,000 if their tip leads to charges of someone buying or illegally selling ten or more guns, they will receive $5,000 if someone is convicted of the crime, they can get $10,000 for tips leading to a homicide charge, and they will be rewarded $15,000 if those charged with homicide are convicted.

It's like a game show that nobody's watching.

Despite the general failure of the tip line, Lightfoot has tried to make sell it to the public.

Arne Duncan, former Obama Education Secretary and possible candidate for the mayor’s office, blasted Lightfoot for her thoughtless attempts to fight crime.

“Strategies that aren’t thought out, that aren’t thoughtful, that aren’t implemented, that’s almost like the worst possible scenario. This stuff is really hard, it’s complex, but headlines and P.R. don’t keep people alive,” Duncan said, according to the Chicago Tribune. “The fact that this is literally a matter of life and death and the fact we are losing so many lives is untenable. This is the crisis facing our city.”

25 Shot in Chicago from Friday to Saturday Night

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (Democrat)

Twenty-five people in strict gun-control Chicago were shot Friday through 8:33 p.m. Saturday night by violent guns. One of the victims died of his wounds, NBC 5 reported. 

Chicago's Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot condemned the guns and the people who allowed those guns to be pointed and fired.

The fatal shooting happened after a fight broke out at a party early Saturday morning and a gun shot a 34-year-old man who was then transported to a hospital where he died.

The Mayor has called for all those people with illegal guns to stop allowing them to shoot people and to turn them over to police who will not ask questions.

WGN-TV noted three of weekend’s gun shooting injuries occurred outside a church during a funeral Saturday afternoon at around 2:30 p.m. "near 108th and S State streets. A gray vehicle rolled past the church and a gun inside the vehicle began to fire. Three biological men, ages 20, 25, and 37, were struck by bullets and were taken to the hospital. All are in reasonably good condition but there have been no guns arrested thus far.

The Sun-Times notes that 362 people were killed by evil, illegal guns in Chicago January 1, 2022, through July 23, 2022. No legal guns were involved in these shootings but Mayor Lightfoot is not allowing that fact to stand in the way of attempting to disarm every law abiding American.

Lightfoot changes her tune from "Eff Clarence Thomas" to 'can't we all just get along?'

Chicago Mayor Lori "Beetlejuice" Lightfoot (D) has taken her hypocrisy from "F**k Clarence Thomas" to a more civil level just days after encouraging people to have sex with him, or whatever she meant. 

The former "Before" model for plastic surgery spoke at an event on Tuesday where she spoke out against attacks on the police, the agency that she had previously wanted to defund. She said the attacks on cops is a sign that people are "losing respect for the institutions of our democracy."

Strangely enough, nobody laughed or called out her hypocrisy.

The Mayor of one of the nation's most dangerous cities continued: "That says to me that the people who are acting so brazenly have no not only no respect for themselves, but they don't have respect for the institution like the police department, who men and women every single day on every watch, are literally risking life and limb for our safety." 

"But toxicity in our public discourse is a thing that I think we should all be concerned about, right?" Lightfoot added as the echoes of 'F**k Clarence Thomas' reverberated in the heads of those who knew what she had said just days prior at a Pride event. 

The lesbian mayor alluded to the horrible massacre at Highland Park at  their Fourth of July parade where 7 people were killed and over 30 injured. She urged Chicagoans to "respect" each other, but her Tourette's kicked in causing her to once again shout, "F**k Clarence Thomas!" She went on to stress the importance of "community" and to "focus on what brings us together and not what tears us apart. F**k Clarence Thomas!"

"That's the thing I think that concerns me the most about what we're seeing, really over the arc of these last two years- I get it. People are angry. F**k Clarence Thomas! They are frustrated. And they're fearful," Lightfoot pontificated. "But we can't let those things mean that we lose sight of each other's humanity. We've got to find a common sense and a purpose."

UPDATE: More people killed in Chicago over weekend than last 2 years in Afghanistan war

Thirty-five people were shot, five of them fatally, over the Fourth of July weekend in Chicago. That's more people shot and killed in Chicago than our military troops the last 2 years in Afghanistan.

One fatal victim was a 24-year-old woman. She was killed Friday night during a shootout between two men in Chicago's Chinatown district, where one of the shooters and two others were wounded in the incident, according to ABC 7. The woman was taken to Stroger Hospital where she died of her injuries.

[H/T Fox News]

Four more were wounded on Friday night in West Garfield Park when a man opened fire on the group of people because he had a bad day.

A 30-year-old man was fatally shot in the head on the city's South Side early Saturday, with police saying they had no suspects in custody. 

A 90-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition. Cops have a person of interest in the shooting.

Useless Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot held a press conference to condemn the shootings and for once, expressed appreciation for the city's police officers, after she and dozens of Democratic mayors in major cities did what they could to defund the police.

"We need to remember every single day on every single watch, our brave men and women of the Chicago Police Department are out there literally risking their lives for our safety," two-faced Lightfoot said during a Friday press conference, reminding residents to "say thank you" to officers.

Chicago Police Department (CPD) Superintendent David Brown joined Lightfoot, and said the July 4 holiday would be a difficult weekend for police as city residents use gunfire in place of fireworks to celebrate the holiday.

"There's no reason why everyone can't enjoy the holiday and every event safety. Parents, please, please know where your children are," he said. "Don't leave them to government to be the parents of your kids. We need you, parents, please, to help us make sure your young people are safe."

The list of wounded and killed goes on as fatherless men lock and load.

And the idiots in power think more gun control is the answer.

UPDATE: The total number of casualties as of this writing 10:45 a.m., in Chicago is now up to 54 with 7 fatalities. The youngest is a 10-year-old boy who was in his bedroom when he was shot. Also, there have been attacks on police with fists and fireworks being aimed at police. It looks as if the Windy City really blows.

Democrat Lori Lightfoot yells "F" word about Clarence Thomas

Chicago's Democratic Mayor Lori "Brain Eating" Lightfoot was her own float at the Saturday pride parade and used vulgar language in front of parade attendees, yelling "Fuck Clarence Thomas!" It's probable that she didn't mean it literally as she is an openly lesbian ugly person, but she was clearly upset with Justice Thomas for being part of the SCOTUS who ended the Roe v. Wade decision. And while Lightfoot will probably never get impregnated by a man directly, as she is a lesbian, she wants women the right to kill their unborn baby in every state of the union, rather than having to be inconvenienced.

"Eww, she said a bad word," said little Lisa Culpepper, 5, who was coerced into attending the parade to make her parents look woke among their friends.

It’s unknown to whom or what Lightfoot was exactly responding, but the mayor was in mid-speech about the Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion.

Lightfoot began speaking to the crowd of LGBTQ+1XYZ~&4 hedonists. “So we know what happened in the Supreme Court yesterday. If you read Clarence Thomas’ concurrence, he said . . .  ” Lightfoot began, then someone in the crowd shouted something to which the Mayor, who some refer to as Beetlejuice, responded, “Thank you. Fuck Clarence Thomas!”

She is such a breath of fresh air, if by fresh air you mean cabbage farts at the manure spreader.

“He thinks that we are going to stand idly by while they take our rights: our right to marry, our right to have children, our right to live!” Lightfoot added, either lying or showing her ignorance as to what the decision actually covers.

Meanwhile, Chicago, the city of which she is mayor, saw 52 people shot and at least 4 were killed over the weekend, according to authorities. I guess if you're okay with killing the unborn, what's the big deal if others die too.

Her call to arms preceded no less than 23 pro-life organizations being vandalized throughout the nation, according to Catholic Vote. Compare that to what former President Trump said on Jan. 6, 2021 when he called for a peaceful protest.

LGBTQ poster 'L', Lori Lightfoot calls for violent insurrection

She wears her mask for reasons other than COVID

The Mayor of Chicago, Lori "Beetlejuice" Lightfoot has made a "call to arms" to challenge and "fight" conservative Supreme Court Justices for the possibility of ending the poorly conceived Roe v. Wade. And while the Left says that words matter, it seems that they fail to follow their own ideology when it comes to themselves.

There is a very specific meaning of the words "a call to arms." It's a call for the use of weapons and the LGBTQ Lightfoot is calling for people to use weapons to enact a political outcome that she and Democrats want. Of course, she will deny that she was calling for violence, so don't believe your ears nor the media that supports the Left.

The Supreme Court is an unelected body of Justices appointed for life, therefore they are supposed to be politically impartial and rule on law as it is written in the Constitution. They can't be voted out of office and to remove a sitting Justice, would require a two-thirds vote. So the only way Lightfoot could get the results she wants is through violence. How else would she be able to get her way?

She should be removed from office, but that is not going to happen because she isn't Sarah Palin, who put targets on a congressional map to strategize her campaign. This isn't former President Donald Trump because he used the word "fight" in his 2020 campaign.

The media will protect Mayor Beetlejuice and, if they could, would put her on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

On Monday evening, supporters of infanticide protested outside of Justice Alito's home. That is a federal crime but a Biden administration DOJ isn't going to do anything about it and the mainstream media is going to paint it in a positive light.

Lightfoot's call to arms is dangerous and disgusting, but it looks as if that's going to be the way the Left acts when it doesn't get its way.

Chicago dictator Lori Lightfoot has heavy hand with vaccine: "Vaccine-free, your time is up"

It's a cheap shot to attack a person's appearance but in Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot case, I really can't help it. She honestly reminds me of the walking dead and if I woke up in bed with her beside me, I'd have to wash the sheets.

Lightfoot, a Democrat of course, has become more of a dictator than a mayor as she is warning those people who refuse to have a relatively benign vaccine injected into their body that they will pay the price for refusing her demand. If the vaccine actually stopped the spread of Covid, I might disagree with her mandate, but I would understand her logic. But the vaccine does not stop the spread and people, especially those who don't have underlying medical complications, should be free to decide whether we take the shot or not.

On Tuesday, following the lead of Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, another Democrat of course, and Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D-Duh), she announced a set of rules regarding COVID-19 and made it clear that she, like the other leftists in charge, were going to make life ridiculously difficult for the unvaccinated. And it wasn't as if Lightfoot was hiding the ball--she actually said so.

The new mandates impose vaccine requirements on bars, restaurants, coffee shops, gyms, and entertainment venues for any person in Chicago ages five and older. Five! Can you believe that crap? Where is any science, any data suggesting kids that age are in anymore danger from COVID-19 than they are with going down a playground slide?

“To put it simply, if you have been living vaccine-free, your time is up. If you wish to live life as w/the ease to do the things you love, you must be vax’d,” Lightfoot tweeted. “This health order may pose an inconvenience to the unvaccinated, and in fact, it is inconvenient by design.”

"It's inconvenient by design." What horrible audacity and smugness. Who does she think she is?

The dictator of Chicago also said, “We didn’t want to get to this point, but given the situation we find ourselves in, we simply have no choice.”

“So, beginning on Jan. 3, you must show proof that you are fully vaccinated to enter bars, restaurants, fitness centers and entertainment and recreational venues where food and drink are served,” she declared.

It's no wonder that people are leaving Democratic-run cities and states to go where your liberties are not compromised for the lie of "following the science."

“Despite our diligent and equitable vaccine distribution efforts throughout this year, unfortunately, our city continues to see a surge of COVID-19 Delta and now Omicron cases,” Lightfoot added. “New steps must be taken to protect the health and wellbeing of our residents. This public health order requiring proof of vaccination to visit certain indoor public places is a necessary measure to ensure we can continue to enjoy our city’s many amenities as we enter the new year.”

New steps? These are not new steps and they reflect the same thinking as the country's crappiest mayor, Bill de Blasio of New York City. Lockdowns and vaccines haven't slowed the spread but it sure as hell keeps these scumcrumpets in power.

Lightfoot said that if you are picking up coffee to go, you do not need to show your vaccine card, even if you're standing in line for however long it may take. But don't you dare sit and drink your coffee at a table and bite into a donut without proof of vaccine, unless you're on a break from a Black Lives Matter rally.

“If you’re going into that coffee shop to pick up and go, you don’t need to show proof,” the dictator said. “But if you’re gonna linger, you’re gonna eat that muffin, you’re gonna sit down with your laptop, you gotta show proof of vaccination.”

The mayor's declaration came after alleged President Joe Biden coughed, mumbled, and farted his way through some federal announcements regarding the new COVID efforts against the new, more virulent but significantly less deadly Omicron [OMG!!!] variant. 

If you notice how the media covers the new Omicron (OMG!!!] variant, they mention the spread across states but never mention the hospitalization nor death rate from it. That's because while Omicron [OMG!!!] accounts for 70 percent of new covid cases in the U.S., nobody is dying from it. But they still need to scare you because somebody is benefitting from this virus.

“There are some parts of this country where people are very eager to get their booster where it’s harder to get an appointment,” Biden said as he paused briefly to cough sputum, or whatever it was, into his hand. “Excuse me. Starting this week I’ll be deploying hundreds more vaccinators and more sites to help get the booster shots in people’s arms.”

“I’ve ordered FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, to stand up new pop-up vaccination clinics all across the country, where you can get that booster shot. We’ve opened –” Biden once again coughed into his hand and possibly ripped one before continuing, “Excuse me. We’ve opened FEMA vaccination sites in Washington state and New Mexico recently as cases have increased.”

Biden also said that he will eradicate COVID-19 and added that any president who has lost 200,000 people to this pandemic [referring to President Trump at the time] doesn't deserve to be president. Biden has far surpassed that number and all of Trump's numbers when he was still in office and still Biden lives in the White House, although he's barely sentient.

We are being led by a gaggle of incompetent buffoons and we need to change that in 2022 and 2024.

Chicago cops turn their backs to Mayor at hospital after 2 cops shot

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) attended University of Chicago Medical Center at midnight Saturday where an officer remains in critical condition and one had died from a shooting at a traffic stop. As of this writing, the officer has been reported to be making some improvement, but it is too soon to know the prognosis.

About thirty Chicago police officers greeted Lightfoot by turning their backs on her, like she continuously does to the city's police.

Chicago Police Officer Ella French, 29, was shot and killed during a traffic stop Saturday night, and her partner fights for his life. 

Officer Ella French

When Lightfoot visited the hospital on the 7th floor, the cops showed her their backs.

"It looked like it had been choreographed," one source told the media.

So, who cares if it was choreographed? It makes no difference because the message was the same for each officer that turned away from Lightfoot, who has consistently taken an opposing position from the police, especially since the 2020 violent protests over the death of George Floyd. In fact, she campaigned as a police reformer and said the police unions are one of the main obstacles to reforming the police.

She said back then that police violence and brutality "demean the badge" and asked that people report police misconduct.

"Unfortunately, in history in our city, and I think the history of other cities, unions are extraordinarily reluctant to embrace reform and that's a current state of affairs here... We have had to take them to arbitration to win very modest reforms, and that's a shame of the history of collective bargaining where there hasn't been an emphasis on reform and accountability... These contracts... are a significant problem and challenge in getting the reforms necessary."

But apparently, the looting and rioting in August of last year wasn't an issue for Lightfoot. She was strongly criticized for allowing protests in the city, but not on the block where she lives with her wife.

Prior to that, on a May 31 conference call with all 50 Chicago aldermen, she got into a heated argument with Ray Lopez (D) of the 15th Ward. They actually swore at each other and Lopez called her out on the anemic response to looting and violence during the Floyd protests.

So it's understandable why the police would turn their backs on her like she did with them and the law in general. 

At the hospital, Lightfoot tried to speak with the male officer's father, a retired Chicago cop himself, and didn't expect it when he blamed her for what happened.

The mayor's press office provided an excuse in a statement to Fox News, "In a time of tragedy, emotions run high and that is to be expected."

"The Mayor spoke to a range of officers that tragic night and sensed the overwhelming sentiment was about concern for their fallen colleagues," the statement read. "As the Mayor stated yesterday, now is not the time for divisive and toxic rhetoric or reporting. [She should know all about divisive rhetoric.] This is a time for us to come together as a city. We have a common enemy and it is the conditions that breed the violence and the manifestations of violence, namely illegal guns, and gangs. The Mayor is focused on healing the wounds and will reject any and all that try to use this moment to drive further divisions in our city."

More people are shot and more are killed in an average week in Chicago than those killed in the last year and a half of those in our military killed in Afghanistan--that number is one.

Dozens of shooting incidents across Chicago over the weekend left 13 people dead and 73 injured.

In the period beginning Friday at 6 p.m. and ending at midnight Sunday, the Chicago Police Department recorded 54 shooting incidents, statistics show.

The suspects in the police shooting on Saturday are in custody.

Chicago's Lightfoot light on crime and under fire

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot allowed two of her top aides to take time off over the deadly July 4th weekend after promising an "all hands on deck" strategy to deal with the huge spike in shootings across the city.

Sybil Madison, the Mayor's chief of staff emailed city workers that she would be out of the office on Thursday and Friday ahead of the Fourth of July, according to the Chicago Tribune, and deputy mayor John O'Malley was also going to be out most of the same weekend. While they were enjoying time away from their jobs, over 100 people were shot and 18 died of their wounds. Of the wounded, 11 were children, some as young as 5 and 6.

Sybil Madison

Light on crime Lightfoot and Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown, bemoaned the fact that the July 2nd City Council emergency meeting would distract from efforts to confront street crime during the anticipated most violent weekend of the year that came to be as called. One strategy Brown called for was to cancel time-off for officers while Lightfoot's top aides were able to escape and not have to dodge bullets.

Chicago cops worked 12-hour shifts during the Fourth of July weekend to increase street presence, but guns went off and people were hit with hot lead. Lightfoot and her Party blame the guns, not the shooters.

"We were told the meeting we had last week was a waste of time but your people are out of the office," South Side Alderman Anthony Beale told the Tribune, criticizing Lightfoot’s "poor leadership" in allowing her top deputies to take time out of the office "when we need them the most."

"She allowed her staff to go on vacation days the week before what is traditionally the most dangerous weekend in the city of Chicago – is outrageous," Alderman Ray Lopez, who represents the 15th Ward, told local news outlet Fox 32. "It shows there's a complete lack of commitment toward addressing the violence."

"We’ve heard about the ‘whole of government’ approach for weeks now," he echoed in separate remarks to the Tribune. "But I guess that doesn’t apply to the people responsible for actually creating the policies."

Lightfoot's office responded Friday while she was returning from a crime-free fundraising trip in California, which is not part of Chicago nor even part of Illinois.

"Working in the mayor's office is a 24/7, 365 job, and members of the mayor's senior staff are constantly connected," a spokesman falsely claimed. "Those responsible for on-the-ground operations continued to execute over the holiday weekend, and the Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff were fully engaged every day."

Back in May 2019, after Lightfoot assumed office, she banned top leadership at the police department from doing what she and her top aides were doing, which was taking time off during the summer months. She said that the police, not her and those in her leadership positions, set the example for the rank-and-file officers. 

So presumably it's okay for Lightfoot and her staff to lay out on a beach somewhere, a martini between their toes, sunscreen on their bodies, and enjoy time away from the fray.

At the aforementioned press conference Brown attended, he blasted the court system for its "out of control" principle that allows allegedly violent offenders to be released back onto the streets to finish their own definition of justice.

"There are too many violent offenders and too little consequence in our courts. There are too many illegal guns in our city and too little consequences in the courts," Supt. Brown said. "The courts have created an unsafe environment for large crowd gatherings because you've released people charged with murder back into these same communities where they committed this heinous crime."

It seems as if Lori Lightfoot believes that #AllThugLivesMatter

Chicago cops vote no-confidence for Mayor Lori Lightfoot

Chicago's Fraternal Order of Police have issued a vote of no-confidence in their mayor, Lori "Night of Terror" Lightfoot (D). They cite bad work conditions and her cancelling a march for fallen officers due to the China virus.

The vote of about 200 active and retired rank-and-file officers was unanimous along with police Superintendent David Brown and First Deputy Eric Carter.

Additional reasons cited for the no-confidence vote include officer burnout and the cancelation of days off for police on several occasions. Also, there was a move from an 8 1/2-hour shifts to 12-hour work periods to prepare for possible BLM and Antifa riots, violence, looting and property destruction.

The symbolic action also followed the second consecutive year that the Chicago Police Department canceled its annual St. Jude Memorial March for the city’s fallen cops while citing the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The basis for this no-confidence vote is pretty simple, it’s two-fold," FOP President John Catanzara said in a video. "It’s a lack of respect for the Gold Star families and the cancellation of the St. Jude parade."

So now we know Lightfoot not only has no respect for White journalists, she has no respect for the people who protect her city.

The union issued a no-confidence vote in 2019 for then-police Superintendent Eddie Johnson after he was criticized for not attending a speech by President Trump, the Tribune reported.

Wouldn't it be nice to vote many of these Democrats out of office?

 Beyond the journalists who noted that they were shut out by the policy limiting interviews, Lightfoot faced criticism from a Latino news organization, which refused to interview the mayor after she refused to lift the moratorium on white journalists, per Fox News.

She also faced blowback on Twitter, where racial justice advocates suggested that Lightfoot was likely using the policy to distract from her inability to handle questions of violence. “Lori Lightfoot presided over an enormous increase in homicides, almost all of them in African American or Latino communities, and she’s hoping these PR stunts get liberal America to give her a pass for failing to save people’s lives,” journalist Zaid Jilani pointed out.

Indeed, on the same day that the mayor’s office announced the policy favoring “black and brown” reporters, Lightfoot aides announced that “a compromise plan to make past police disciplinary records available to the public,” essentially turning down a request from Chicago’s racial justice activists to expand police transparency.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Determines Who Interviews Her Based On Race, Local Reporters Claim

Local media reporters in Chicago are alleging that Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is selecting who gets to do one-on-one interviews with her based on the race of the interviewer.

NBC 5 political reporter Mary Ann Ahern made the initial allegation on Twitter, writing: “As ⁦ @chicagosmayor ⁩ reaches her two year midway point as mayor, her spokeswoman says Lightfoot is granting 1 on 1 interviews – only to Black or Brown journalists.”

Chicago PBS news anchor Paris Schultz responded: “I was told the same thing.”


I was told the same thing.

Chicago PBS political reporter said that she could “confirm” what Ahern was alleging.


I can confirm, alderman

Lightfoot’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire or Fox News.

Australian political commentator Rita Panahi responded to the allegations by writing on Twitter: “More ‘anti-racist’ racism. Almost amusing how regressive race-obsession is celebrated among the Left.”

“Racism in the name of wokeism is still racism,” another commentator said. Another added, “So wouldn’t that make her a racist?”

Progressive writer Zaid Jilani wrote: “Is she going to do some kinda DNA test to assure she upholds this rule?”

“It is unclear when such a practice was enacted and if it only applies to local reporters, particularly after her MSNBC appearance with Stephanie Ruhle on Monday,” Fox News reported. “During her MSNBC interview, Lightfoot told Ruhle she would ‘encourage’ Chicago residents to continue wearing masks despite the new CDC guidance allowing those with the coronavirus vaccine to go without them.”

“I know for me personally, I’m going to continue to wear a mask in public and I’m going to encourage others to do so,” Lightfoot told Ruhle. “We’ve got to make sure that people are continuing to follow the public health guidance that has gotten us this far, and masks, I think, are a big and important part of that.”

Lightfoot said on Tuesday afternoon that her decision to continue to encourage people to wear masks was not based on distrust of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“But I think their guidance last week regarding masks has people confused…We need clarification,” Lightfoot said. “We still have a long way to go to hit the critical mass (of vaccinations) or herd immunity. I don’t want people to have false confidence.”

“To say, ‘If you’re vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask,’ that’s great. But what about all of the other people who are out there that aren’t vaccinated?” Lightfoot added. “There’s no way to know that. So I think for the time being, most people are gonna continue to wear masks outside of their homes.”
