Chicago Alderman Brian Hopkins (D) said Thursday that he doubts Chicago would have become a "sanctuary city" if the city knew what it would have meant for the future.
The Windy City has been a sanctuary city since 1985 when then-Mayor Harold Washington issued an executive order prohibiting city employees from asking residents or assisting in investigations related to the "citizenship or residency status of any person." The order also prohibited the city from denying city services to residents based on their citizenship status.

In recent years, far-right terrorism has become a leading national security concern for the United States.
However, this type of violence and the extremism that inspires it are far from new, as explored in the new book Gods, Guns, and Sedition: Far-Right Terrorism in America by CFR experts Bruce Hoffman and Jacob Ware.
The far right has been gaining momentum for decades, helping to proliferate conspiracy theories and ideologies such as white supremacism, antisemitism, and anti-government extremism, which have fueled an increasing number of violent incidents.

"...Colt went to trial on the remaining counts because of one specific problem — he wore a pair of motorcycle gloves that had reinforced hard plastic coverings on the knuckles.
Those protect a rider’s hands from road debris while riding.
The Government alleged those gloves were deadly or dangerous weapons – calling them “brass knuckle gloves” early in the case -- and charged him with “aggravated assault” because of them.

Albedo Explains All Warming Since 1984
Albedo Explains All Warming Since 1984 CLIMATE PHYSICS | CHUCK WIESE
- Chuck Wiese, Meteorologist - I often get asked by climate hysterics that if the increase in atmospheric CO2 isn’t responsible for the global warming of the last forty years of record in the satellite data, then what could have caused it?
While that appears true as best we can determine from solar records to date, what is not ever discussed is whether or not there is a change in the available solar radiation that reaches the ground or Earth’s surface over time.
The best measure of this is to determine the changes in Earth albedo, which is the reflectance of solar radiation due to clouds and aerosols in the environment that reflect this energy from the sun back to space. So let’s have a look at the at the records:
Figure 1 shows the measured albedo from 1984 to 1997. Figure 2 shows the measured albedo from 2000 to 2023....
