In an insightful piece, Paul Vallas weighs in on public safety in Chicago after the DNC. Safer streets, Vallas says, can be achieved, if Mayor Brandon Johnson and aldermen show the same commitment to residents as they did to Democratic delegates for the DNC. chicagocontrarian.com/blog/public-sa…

"Real eyes realize real lies," Mayor Brandon Johnson. Sound familiar? Let's fact check the serial-lying Brandon Johnson. The analysis of a third grader, Johnson has never spoken honestly of ShotSpotter's purpose or capabilities. ShotSpotter has never been marketed as a

Two Chicago residents lash out at city officials during a session of the City Council, calling them thieves. Righteous anger, why, Ms. Jackson and Mama Doris ask, are illegals allowed to drive Chicago into debt $1B? Video: Afro Elite.

We are pleased to see these seven aldermen sign on to this letter calling for a Special Meeting to discuss keeping ShotSpotter. Where are the other 27 aldermen who voted to keep ShotSpotter in May? Are they all on board?

The bad music and worse lyrics originally led us to believe this was Ald. Andre Vasquez, Political Account belting out a tune. But these are gang members celebrating Mexican Independence Day at 35th and Kedzie. Gangs thrive in Chicago's 12th Ward, and Julia Ramirez voted against keeping ShotSpotter.

This is a Kamala Harris-like word salad. Alderman Conway has the unique ability to compress the largest amount of words into the smallest amount of thought.

Every word Mayor Brandon Johnson said here is a lie, including "and" and "the." No where in the contract or in any presentation was ShotSpotter marketed as a device which would "reduce gun violence by 50 percent." If ShotSpotter is a "walkie-talkie on a pole," then why did Johnson

• $100M --> not accurate • "corporate group" used as a pejorative as if no company trying to to save lives is good, so long as they are private / for profit. • failure to understand statistics • intentionally anti-tech next election can't come fast enough.

Ah, we think we found at least one reason congestion on LSD and the expressways prevailed last weekend. Not to worry, though, Mayor Brandon Johnson just dismisses this lawlessness as the harmless tomfoolery of blissful residents.

Mayoral aide Jason Lee is reputed to be one of the most aggressive opponents of ShotSpotter at City Hall. We'd like to know if Lee has ever deigned to turn out to the scene of a shooting to a console a mother grieving the loss of her child. We doubt it.

Not too surprising gang members in Alderperson Jessie Fuentes's ward celebrated Mexican Independence Day at Armitage and Drake by openly flashing guns. The norm in her ward, Fuentes voted against ShotSpotter and has consistently take an anti-police stance in the City Council.

Smashing into and jumping on a CPD car. Progressives shrug off these incidents as trivial, but the erosion of CPD authority is one of the first signs of Chicago crumbling into lawlessness. Chicago will rue the day progressives were put in charge of this city. Video: SubX.News.

Elections for BOE should be about seating independent-minded candidates with the best interests of students in mind. The CTU and ⭐️ SDG ⭐️AKA Muse of Chicago Trib Editorial Board's shady UWF are promoting a chorus line of radical, compliant stooges who will bend to the CTU's wishes. Felix Ponce is one such

Gifts to visiting dignitaries are on behalf of the city and should act as a reflection of the city itself. Not with Mayor Brandon Johnson: He hands out campaign merch to keep fanning his massive ego.

Jussie Smollett's attacker is appealing his 2021 conviction in front of the Illinois Supreme Court. Please pray for Jussie. Mr. Smollett needs our support. He has suffered terribly at the hands of hordes of MAGA extremists who freely maraud in Chicago. wgntv.com/news/chicago-n…
