A woman was found shot to death this morning in an alley previously served by ShotSpotter. A neighbor called 911 after noticing that her body hadn't moved in a couple of days. cwbchicago.com/2024/09/woman-…

Given that the biggest thing he ever managed was an elementary school classroom, and only for a few years, I had low expectations for him. But he is sinking even faster and farther than I imagined possible. Chicago will suffer long after he is gone.

The content of this video is shocking. These are three current employees of the City of Chicago. They are all mayoral appointees and their combined salaries equal $430,572 of taxpayer dollars. It’s only reasonable to conclude that the mayor shares their warped world view/goals.

In other words, he lied. Who’s shocked? If ever there was a compelling reason to have a recall mechanism in place, this mayor is it.

This is welcome news but it leaves open only two possibilities: 1) the mayor failed to vet him before appointing him or 2) vetted him, was aware of his clear deficiencies and appointed him anyway because to MBJ, those failures are ok. MBJ is the real problem.

Hey Mayor with the 14% approval rating, Officer Martinez’s family told you that you are not welcome and should not attend his funeral. Like many Chicagoans, they see you, your warped world views and your policies as dangers to the hardworking women and men of the Chicago Police

I recently posted a question on social media asking anyone who voted for Brandon Johnson to speak up and tell the world if they are proud of their vote or if they can still justify it. Crickets…

Ladies and gentlemen, with her oath now taken, Cook County has a new State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke. Today is a great day for a return to public safety for all the people of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. Hallelujah!

Editorial: Eileen O'Neill Burke's stirring inauguration brings us hope that Chicago soon will rise again chicagotribune.com/2024/12/04/edi…

Eileen O’Neill Burke resumes following Illinois law. As a result, felony retail theft charges are up 154%. Cook County is back in the business of prosecuting crime. Committing crime without consequence is over - a new day that has been long overdue. cwbchicago.com/2024/12/felony…

Susana Mendoza is a public servant who speaks the truth again and again. She has been competent and effective in every challenging role she has undertaken. Chicago and Illinois need people like her if we have any hope to turn around this mess.

It’s good to have a real prosecutor in charge of the CCSAO again. Peace circles are specifically designed for low-level, non-violent cases where there is a victim. In a gun possession case, there is often not a specific victim. Up until now, these gun cases were shuffled into

Without a doubt it’s Mayor “6.6” and sinking. Still waiting for all those who enthusiastically endorsed him to apologize to Chicago.

Members of Congress who childishly refuse to attend tonight’s session make me feel like I hired a lawyer who tells me he won’t show up in court to represent my interests because he doesn’t like what opposing counsel might say. We pay you to represent us and your personal feelings

If Gov Pritzker wants to president, how about demonstrating his ability to solve serious problems here first? God knows Chicago’s 6.6% approval mayor isn’t going to fix it. Gov Pritzker should take this as an opportunity to show he can be effective at more than rhetoric.
