"I am urging all of you across the entire city to step up and say, 'We've had enough,'" Johnson said. "And I'm hopeful that our ongoing discussions will ensure that our state partners, as well as our federal partners, will swiftly come into the support of the city of Chicago. The city cannot afford to wait any longer."
Yes. Great idea. Blame the federal government for not helping enough, and expect the gunslingers to just stop shooting because you’re appealing to their hearts.
And now for the other half of that quote…
Brandon Johnson is calling for more resources from the federal government.
Do you know what kind of resources he’s asking for?
Victims’ assistance.
He wants money and psychologists, to help the families of the people who have been shot...
The indomitable Douglas Brodie argues that climate change is a politically motivated hoax designed to impose totalitarian control and redistribute wealth through flawed science and data manipulation.
He traces its origins to anti-capitalist ideologies and figures like Maurice Strong, criticizes the scientific basis for CO2-induced warming, and highlights manipulation by influential figures and organizations.
Doug contends that Net Zero policies are economically damaging and futile, urging skepticism towards the establishment and advocating for voting against mainstream political parties supporting climate policies...
But Hunter is glued to his father’s side for a reason. He was with him at Camp David to help prepare for the disastrous debate; was there for the vainglorious Annie Leibovitz family photo shoot post-debate; then flew back with the president to the White House, where he has been ensconced ever since.
Dad’s pardon power is not something Hunter will relinquish lightly, Devine writes.
He reportedly is acting as “gatekeeper” to his father and helping write speeches for him, while White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that he has been sitting in on Joe’s meetings with senior staff.
That's when Rubio pointed out a historical fact that undermines the argument that Trump will become a fascist dictator.
"By the way, he was president for four years. He didn't go after Hillary Clinton. He didn't go after Joe Biden. He didn't go after Barack Obama. He didn't go after any of their consultants," Rubio explained.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) is expanding his program that rewards newly arrived migrants with pre-loaded debit cards for food — paid for by New Yorkers who remain some of the most tax-burdened residents of the United States.
Adams started the debit cards-for-migrants program in February, noting that it would cost about $53 million to provide roughly 500 migrant families with the prepaid cards meant only for food...

“Our taxes are being used to pay for the migrants, and where are we supposed to make revenue?” Shandler said. "How as a business could we function?”
CoStar reported in November 2023 that hotels throughout the city have taken up to 16,000 rooms off the market to host migrants. Additionally, the migrant crisis in the city appears to be negatively affecting the hotel business itself.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation today, July 8, 2024, that was previously adopted by (the DEMOCRAT DOMINATED!) both the state House and Senate to invalidate any HOA provisions against a litany of energy efficiency home improvements.
The law covers a range of both high- and low-tech home upgrades from rooftop solar panels and home EV chargers to clothes lines and rain barrels.
HOA officials also can’t require fees to install energy efficiencies, nor demand post-installation reports or monitor homeowners’ energy usage, under the new law...
The New York Times recently reported that OpenAI experienced a "major security incident," which raises concerns about the security and safety of AI companies in the future. The development also suggests that AI companies could be a major hotspot for foreign actors to infiltrate.
Former OpenAI employee Leopold Aschenbrenner alluded to the incident in a recent podcast episode. While he referred to it as a "major security incident," other unnamed company sources told the Times that the hacker only obtained an employee discussion forum. The nature of this discussion forum is unknown.
The newest case is being profiled by the Christian Institute, which explained the woman, whose name is not being released, complained to NHS Fife after she "encountered a male worker in the female-only changing room late at night."
In response, the politically correct officials in her organization suspended her for three months.
This phrase is so ubiquitous that in certain quarters it is used as a joke punchline. It seems almost anything you can think of has been claimed to be “caused by climate change”. Of course, it used to be “caused by global warming” and that was a joke too: “10 feet of snow? Yep, must be global warming!”; “Wife pregnant again?” “Yeah, you know, climate change.”...
“Let’s correct one pervasive and pathological misunderstanding endemic across the media and in policy, and sometimes spotted seeping into peer-reviewed scientific research:
Neither climate nor climate change cause, fuel, or influence weather.
Yes, you read that right.
Climate change is a change in the statistics of weather —It is an outcome, not a cause.”
And one more:
“Weather can be characterized statistically, but weather does not occur as a result of simple statistical processes. Weather is the integrated result of at least: dynamical, thermodynamical, chaotic, societal, biospheric, cryospheric, lithospheric, oceanic, vulcanological, solar, and, yes, stochastic processes.”...
“We chose the cover image, based on a well-known 1932 Hitler campaign poster, for a precise reason: that anyone transported back to 1932 Germany could very, very easily have explained away Herr Hitler’s excesses and been persuaded that his critics were going overboard,” the publication explained.
“After all, he spent 1932 campaigning, negotiating, doing interviews—being a mostly normal politician. But he and his people vowed all along that they would use the tools of democracy to destroy it, and it was only after he was given power that Germany saw his movement’s full face,” it continued...
focusing on making America wealthy, safe, strong, and great "once again." - Spencer Brown The RNC's platform committee adopted the GOP's 2024 platform ahead of next week's national convention in Milwaukee with a heavy focus on America's "serious decline" since 2021 when President Joe Biden took office and inflicted policies that brought "raging inflation, open borders, rampant crime, attacks on our children, and global conflict, chaos, and instability."
"What voters are looking for most from their politicians is strength: Strength in standing up for America, strength in facing down America’s adversaries, strength in getting things done domestically," Johnson said.
"Biden was already performing badly on that metric, now he is performing catastrophically."
