defund the police. ain’t it great?

police dispatchr “also recommended I call my alderman and I said why, and he said encourage him to hire more police. The dispatcher also asked me if I would consider defending myself … if I had a weapon or considered getting one.”

i don’t think it’s easy to get a gun in chicago unless you’re a criminal.

Chicago mom left waiting hours for help after 911 call for home invasion: ‘We have no units to send you’

The dispatcher also asked me if I would consider defending myself … if I had a weapon or considered getting one.”

Something reps need to pound and I haven’t heard it like this but 20% inflation since biden is money that is unrecoverable. Americans have lost 20% of their buying power from now on. These media guys and Biden’s admin talks like they will actually bring that 20% down. I’m reality they are trying to bring the inflation rate down. That needs to be pounded by the reps like stormy Daniel’s. Every talking point should be the loss of wealth and massive global conflict. Keep it to 3 things. Inflation (theft), war everywhere, border. Those three things.

pounded by the reps like...

too funny

The deep fake tech hasn’t been perfected yet. Same issue Disney has trying to recreate a de aged Luke in Star Wars.

Whatever that is, that’s not Biden.

1 and 2....Nobody made anyone beat up cops, break thru barricades, bust thru windows and doors. The rioters are responsible for their own actions period.
3....Pelosi is the one who called for the National Guard, not the one that turned it down.

Current US Inflation Rates: 2000-2025

The annual inflation rate for the United States was 2.8% for the 12 months ending February, compared to the previous rate increase of 3%, according to U.S. Labor Department data published on March 12, 2025. The next inflation update is scheduled for release on April 10 at 8:30 a.m. ET, providing...

Per CBS, Trump leads AZ +5. In their Senate race, Lake trails the Dim by -13. Net, another Trump/MAGA candidate failure due to purity over electability. Remember this when the Senate majority is up in the air. MAGA won't.

The point, which flew way over your head, is that prices, stocks, etc., are up bc of china joe's inflationary policy. That is money we will never get back. Riden w biden, baby!

Edit ... to your comment. Stagnant economy, the new normal? Remember that. Growth was putrid.

But again, i go back to ... do you EVER say anything negative about Dims?

It is almost, almost, almost like you cheer for the dims. Hmm. Wonder why?

You put up a long-term inflation chart w/o comment & someone is supposed to take from it what you want/think it says vs. a person examining the data for himself. LOL.

Much is made of Trump's good low inflation rates vs. today, but is in same range for 8 years before that. I hadn't remembered that & thought it was worth a reminder regardless of whom preceded Trump. But you want to and thus have to make it political.

Almost cheer for Dims? That can be anything to anybody, can't it? Same ole MAGA looking for any impurity.

Why don't you look up whether I ever say anything negative about Dims vs. speculating w/o data. Who here complains more about overall Gov spending than me (and that includes Trump's)? Who opposed Trump's impeachments? Who opposes Biden's open border? Look it up.

Once more, I don't any reason to defend myself from non-supported nonsensical claims. Spouting off with nothing to back yourself up is fine by MAGA though.

I'm a conservative. MAGA isn't such. Supporting Trump may or may not be.

I thought Trump said he would have Chicago fixed day 1? And that he sent in the Feds last year to clean it up. News at 11 : Cities with huge populations are violent. Chicago isn't even top 15 for violent cities. St Louis is #1 for murders, 3x Chicago's murder rate.

Will the person running against Lake get to count the votes again, oversee the audit again, and then ultimately declare herself the winner again?

Thank God people in politics (especially Dems) are honest. Be a real problem if they weren’t.

I started a thread about it already, but I was at the Lexington airport last night, to greet the Honor Flight Veterans (mostly Vietnam but quite a few Korean vets as well), and I can't encourage you all enough, to get on the Kentucky Honor Flight website, look at the schedule, and try to go and greet them when they return. It was an unbelievable experience. Put the politics aside, and honor these folks. They deserve it, and their appreciation was palpable.

People lined up on both sides, for the entire length of the airport, with signs, flags, cheering on the veterans (especially the Vietnam vets, who were severly mistreated, in some cases, the FIRST time they came home) It's an extremely worthy cause to support; both financially and in person.

Just 4 you, LostinFL:

In Washington , D.C. an old priest lay dying in the hospital. For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation's capital and was well known among the elected officials. He motioned for his nurse to come near.

"Yes, Father?" said the nurse.

"I would really like to see President Biden and Senator Schumer before I die, "whispered the priest.

"I'll see what I can do, Father", replied the nurse.

The nurse sent the request to The President and Congress and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived; President Biden and Chuck Schumer would be delighted to visit the priest.

As they went to the hospital, Biden commented to Schumer , "I don't know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images and might even get me re-elected." Schumer agreed that it was a good thing.

When they arrived at the priest's room, the priest took Biden's hand in his right hand and Schumer's hand in his left hand. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face.

Finally President Biden spoke. "Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?"

The old priest slowly replied, "I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

"Amen", said Biden. "Amen", said Schumer. The old priest continued, "Jesus died between two lying thieves; I would like to do the same."

No...Zero evidence at all that the FBI instigated Jan 6th. That's ridiculous and hardly even worth addressing honestly. I don't entertain tin foil hat conspiracies.

FACT FOCUS: Federal agents didn't orchestrate Jan. 6

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection poked another hole in the pro-Trump conspiracy theory that federal agents orchestrated the attack, confirming on Tuesday that a man at the center of the claims said he’d never been an FBI informant.

No...Pelosi didn't turn down National Guard, she and Pence actually called the Pentagon asking for NG help.

Pence — not Trump — asked Guard troops to help defend Capitol on Jan. 6, panel says

The accusation was among multiple findings from the panel charged with investigating the lead-up and response to the attempted insurrection.

Pelosi did not block the National Guard from the Capitol on Jan. 6

False. As Speaker of the House, Pelosi does not direct the National Guard. Further, as the Capitol came under attack, she and the Senate Majority leader called for military assistance, including the National Guard.

Trump NEVER requested jack sh** even while the attack was happening.

J6 was cotton candy compared to the afghan pull out. Biden’s stupid tactics left 13 soldiers dead and the US running like a scared dog. Not to mention Afghanistan over run with Taliban. Biden’s horrific pullout from Afghanistan is why the world is on the brink.it was the worst display of weakness in the nations history.

And no admission at all by Biden or Kirby or Blinken that anything went wrong,and no accountability for anyone.
