The befuddled, low IQ Mayor Brandon is working to “fight” and “battle” and incite the people of Chicago to “rise up” against ICE and Trump’s policies of crime fighting.

His phony statistics show everything is serene and calm as shown in the JD Pritzker cell video of placid waters and green grassy areas.

No real people believe them except BLM types.

If a church is dangerous and a play area is, too, where are the innocent children supposed to go?

Are the armed security agents for the mayor and governor in any danger?

They see scenes of baseball in old children’s books. That’s about it.

One black baseball announcer said before he became a player himself he and his childhood friends had to wait for space on local fields as other kids’ baseball games were finishing up.
And everybody played stick ball or catch as soon as the school day was over.

Now, he said, you have to look for lots with kids playing and they often are playing soccer now.

Ha.

Thankfully, no.

How could we contemplate Chicago trying to get by without the brain trust of those leaders? /S

You get what you vote for. The “socialist” Mayor doesn’t want any help.

Imagine, a perfect, cloudless day, the sun is warm, welcoming. And on the horizon they appear. Like knights of yore, armed with bats of ash and hickory. Their name, the Capital Congressmen, their purpose, to make you, dear America, revel in the joys of sport and sunshine. If only for an afternoon.
