This should be interesting. Chicago’s getting the Democratic National Convention. Our new mayor already has said he favors social workers rather than our police to keep order. Anyone who was around for the 1968 Chicago DNC knows if it wasn’t for our police, the city would’ve erupted. Our society is even split worse now. It’ll be national headlines to see how the mayor’s “social workers” handle what’s sure to come.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been a fly, like in buttermilk, for the Democrats for a long time. Before he became a Supreme Court justice, he faced allegations of harassment from Anita Hill. Thomas was the leader of bringing down women’s rights while he and his wife have been wining and dining, taking lavish vacations worth millions of dollars with a MAGA Trump supporter friend. The Democrats are asking for impeachment, but it’s not going to happen because of the current law. Once again, Thomas is free of charges.

With all the articles that have been written about Tiffany Henyard it would seem that maybe the U.S. attorney would take a look at how Henyard conducts business both as the Dolton mayor and as the Thornton Township supervisor. Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul apparently isn’t interested because he hasn’t done anything about her. She acts like she is the president of Illinois traveling in a convoy of taxpayers funded SUVs with emergency lights and armed security agents paid by the taxpayers.

A certain beer company is losing millions, and the usual media types are pretending it’s barely a story. Could this be the start of enough is enough? Sure hope so.

Ken, Burbank, in 2020, President Trump’s administration signed the Doha Agreement with the Taliban that guaranteed the exit of the U.S. from Afghanistan by May 2021. Also part of the agreement was the release of 5,000 imprisoned Taliban fighters, who then soon rejoined the fight. The country fell apart in part because of those additional Taliban fighters, and a corrupt government, failed to defend its own country. So go ahead and blame President Biden, but the main fault lies with the dear leader and grifter you support.
