150 People Were Shot in Chicago Since Illinois Sent the National Guard to D.C.

Democrats occupy D.C. while their own people die every day.

After shooting deaths shot up 75% in Chicago, Governor Pritzker announced that he was dispatching 500 more National Guard troops to fight “the dark forces of racism” in D.C.

Washington D.C. may be suffering from “the dark forces of racism” since it’s currently in the hands of the party of racism, slavery, and segregation, but those National Guard troops would do a lot more good in Chicago where 81%, the majority of shooting victims, are black.

Around 150 people have been shot since Pritzker sent the troops to D.C. instead of Chicago.

After the billionaire governor took a break from working on his Wisconsin mansion to dispatch 200 National Guard troops to protect Joe Biden from being attacked during the inauguration, 29 murders were perpetrated in Chicago. There was nothing for the Illinois National Guard to do in D.C. where the biggest threat to Joe Biden’s safety remains pulling a dog’s tail in the shower, but deploying those troops could have been used to save lives back home in Chicago.

D.C. does not need the National Guard for anything except political theater. If Governor Pritzker wants to protect Joe Biden, he doesn’t need hundreds of soldiers, he just needs a good nurse.

And maybe a dog trainer.

"We must root out the dark forces of racism," Governor Pritzker declared, and, "disinformation".

Soldiers don't root out "disinformation". Except maybe in China, Cuba, and apparently, Chicago.

The latest weekend began with 18 people being shot in Chicago. Instead of fighting Republican political opponents in D.C., the National Guard could actually stop real violence in Chiraq.

Pritzker’s administration claims that the hundreds of National Guard personnel are needed to help secure the Capitol. The Capitol Police have over 2,000 sworn officers, an ‘unscalable wall’ surrounds Congress, and all of that is backed by the D.C. cops, the Park Police, and thousands of National Guardsmen from sleepier states like Vermont and Rhode Island. If all of that isn’t enough to secure Congress from a few hundred protesters, then maybe it’s time to give up.

The Biden banana republic theater in D.C. of soldiers, walls, and razor wire is sending a troubling message to Americans and to the rest of the world. But it’s also costing lives in Chicago and in urban areas that could actually use some National Guard support.

Murder rates have shot up by 50% in major American cities. Police departments are outmanned, outgunned, and are bleeding personnel at record rates as officers head for the exit.

In Michigan, Governor Whitmer sent hundreds of National Guard personnel in January to D.C. to ensure “a peaceful transition of presidential power”. There are now 1,000 members of the Michigan National Guard in D.C. until March because the “transition” still isn’t peaceful.

D.C.’s political arenas in the Imperial City are their usual corrupt and peaceful selves, but Michigan’s troubled urban areas could use some of those 1,000 soldiers on their streets.

In one recent Flint shooting spree, a 57-year-old woman was killed, and four others, including an 11-month-old baby, were wounded. If only Governor Whitmer had cared as much about that baby as she does about bolstering the Democrat military occupation of Washington D.C.

While shootings continue to devastate Philly, Governor Wolf insists on keeping 450 Pennsylvania National Guard members in D.C. after initially dispatching 2,350 members.

Governor Wolf claimed that all those soldiers were needed to "ensure the safe and peaceful inauguration" of Biden. Now that Biden is safely and peacefully banning women’s sports from the Oval Office, why are hundreds of soldiers still there? To protect him from female athletes?

Even as violence surges in New York City, Governor Cuomo sent another 542 members of the state’s National Guard to D.C.

That’s after a year in which shootings rose 97% and murders shot up by 45%.

"Our federal government is facing a host of challenges unlike any in modern history, and it needs to be able to conduct its business safely for the sake of all Americans," Cuomo claimed.

The only federal legislators to be physically assaulted by political extremists have been Republicans who were attacked by Democrats: Including at the infamous baseball charity shooting spree. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, who claimed that she was nearly murdered, is perfectly safe. So is the rest of New York’s delegation of grifters, radicals, and crooks.

The same can’t be said for New Yorkers who are under assault by the criminals set loose by Cuomo, De Blasio, and other Democrats who prioritized thugs over law-abiding citizens.

The federal government is safe. New Yorkers aren’t.

The Democrats are determined to maintain this show of force while proceeding with an unconstitutional impeachment of President Trump to send a message that this is a banana republic in which a usurper tries his predecessor in a trial presided over by his own man while soldiers stand guard to suppress political protests and intimidate political opponents.

The D.C. occupation must end.

If the Democrats want to send troops somewhere, their own cities are in desperate need. Gang violence is claiming the lives of a generation of black youth. Meanwhile the National Guard are also being used to manage the pandemic. Diverting soldiers from that task may also cost lives.

Instead, Democrats have prioritized intimidating Americans over saving American lives.

While their own people, men, women, and children, continue to die in Chicago, Philly, Detroit, and New York City, the only thing they care about is a military show of force in D.C. Their banana republic occupation persists in D.C. while the dying continues in their own cities.

Sadly, even the deployment of the National Guard to D.C. hasn’t made the city any safer.

While thousands of soldiers were deployed to protect Speaker Pelosi and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, an 85-year-old man was violently beaten on the train, a 15-year-old boy was shot and killed, and a mass shooting killed 1 man and wounded 4 others.

But the cops were busy investigating the vandalism of a Bernie Sanders mural as a hate crime.

Just like the thousands of soldiers, they weren’t there to keep ordinary people safe, but to protect the political agendas of the Democrat ruling class with fascist political theater.

The National Guard could have been used to actually save lives in D.C. Instead, Democrats used those soldiers to threaten Americans while making them sleep in cold parking garages.

That’s another reason why the D.C. occupation needs to end.

If the Democrats want to save lives, they can send the troops to Chicago. If they want to threaten Americans with armed force, they can take a trip to Cuba and never come back.

Speaking of the dark forces of racism

Lightfoot plans ‘reunion weekend’ to invite Blacks who fled Chicago to ‘come back home’

why does mayor Lightfoot only want the blacks fleeing Chicago and Illinois to come back? Whites, Asians, natives can all be productive citizens too.

And why are blacks leaving? Perhaps because they and their families are cannon fodder. If so, they're not looking back.

As to Gov. Pritzger who took a break from working on his Wisconsin mansion to dispatch 200 National Guard troops to protect Joe Biden from being attacked, doesn't he go into Chicago? If I were to go to Chicago after visiting WI I'd have to quarantine. Does he and his family avoid the city, where they live, or cheat on the quarantine rule.

At some point, calling it Chicongo is unfair to the Congo.

Whites and Asians are not going to return to Chiraq. They would be mercilessly assaulted and murdered by feral “teens”.

"We must root out the dark forces of racism," Governor Pritzker declared, and, "disinformation".

As he and the rest of the democrat party does their best to distract everyone from the fact that 96.5 of Chicongo's murders weren't committed by a white person. They never want to talk about that for some reason.

Unfortunately, I think this is not a valid argument because neither Lightfoot nor Pritzker would reject calling out the ILARNG to police the streets of Chicago. But all of the state guard units need to be withdrawn from DC, as of YESTERDAY.

A group of Chicago alderpeople, all Dems as Chicago has no Republican alderpeople, tried to pass a resolution requesting the National Guard in late summer. They were out in June. Lightfoot panned the idea based on her feeling NG troops aren't trained for the mission and it would stigmatize Chicago. As though the murder rate hasn't. Also, she grew up just down the road from Kent State, don't know what that means. And it would make many Chicago residents feel less safe. Which is true, if I were a looter or arsonists, I'd feel less safe with the National Guard around. In fact, I'd prefer to defund the police too.

Great picture... Marxism at it’s most insane. Dead bodies everywhere and ‘indoctrination of National Guard Troops’ in DC. It’s nuts alright. Only makes sense if democrats are planning an insurrection before April.

Does the mayor not think over 50 murders in Chicago in one month not stigmatizing?
