Easily the worst mayor in Chicago history and that is saying something. Lightfoot failed to intervene as arsonists, looters, and rioters destroyed the Magnificent Mile shopping district in 2020. She was an angry and divisive mayor who was anti-police all of the time and constantly blamed others for her many failures.

The tragedy for Chicago is that a Communist wacko, Brandon Johnson, qualified for the April 4th run-off election. Paul Vallas is a centrist candidate. Johnson is supported by the corrupt Chicago Teachers Union, a Marxist union.

Vallas will be best. Let's see what happens. An interesting election. If the national Democrat party has any brains they will send beau coup money to Vallas, who has a long and decent track record. Vallas is Greek-American

There are more Marxists than centrists in Chicago. But at least he won by enough votes this round to give some hope.

Probably the most openly racist mayor of Chicago that ever infested that office. Her policy was to “not do interviews with white journalists.”

Does this mean she no longer has SECURITY PROTECTION and has to walk the streets as susceptible as all other Chicagoans? Bet she’ll move.

The soon to be former mayor can go back to beheading cats and flying around on her broomstick.

To borrow from P J O’Rourke, Johnson is full-blown Marxism; Vallas is Marxism on the installment plan (Groot was Marxism in a clown car).

Y’all realize that Rhan Emmanuel got a HUGE pass for not doing squat either...

Chicago politics and criminal presence is and has been one pusillanimous boil on the backside of America since the mid 1800’s.

Can any good thing come out of (Chicago)?

There was a book that was adapted as documentary aired on PBS entitled “Chicago: The City of the Century.”

What was omitted from the program was that Chicago used to have a substantial Republican political class that teamed with architects and city planners such as Daniel Burnham to build a model city that once enjoyed a world wide reputation.

Ninety-two years of Democratic misrule have damaged the city greatly. It may be too late to salvage anything. The last four years have been horrific. Lightfoot was the absolute worst. A complete incompetent and a racist.

OMG! DeLauros having been the the brunt of more than a few jokes by myself, I had to have a look at wifey. Hahaha, she is the 6 foot tall knuckle dragging younger version of DeLauros down to a T.
