Note to self.

Buy stock in Portland Glass. Business is going to be really good this quarter.

Also, plywood sales are up big BEFORE hurricane season.

Your point is well taken — Kim Foxx is a wholly owned subsidiary of George Soros. I doubt this ally of Jussie Smollett is going to prosecute any looters.

If you want to see what Chicago cops REALLY think of Illinois politicians see SecondCityCop comments.

Adults only. These are uncensored "colorful" language comments laced with salty (some would say vulgar) terms!

Cowardly Jabba Pritzker allegedly left Illinois to spend the weekend in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, which is not under the COVID-19 lockdown while Illinois remains closed, with his family members. The slow response to sending the National Guard seems to coincide with his road trip to Wisconsin.

Years back, the Wisconsin tourism slogan was “Escape to Wisconsin.” Now, it sounds like a warning.

Don’t believe anything John Kasshole writes or says. He is a ringer who acts like a conservative.

He has been a cheerleader for Mayor Lighthead from day one. Kasshole sold his suburban house and moved back into the city to show support for Lighthead.

He is a complete fraud who is for sale to the highest bidder.

Chicago - the blow-hard city...

Chicago, Chicago, that doddering town
Chicago, Chicago, I'll burn you on down, I love it
Bet your bottom dollar, you'll lose your shirt in Chicago
Chicago, the town soul that Billy Sunday couldn't save

The broken glass is from businesses that have been attacked. The riots are about bringing down capitalism, and they are succeeding where CV19 didn’t.

Business owners need to require the mayors and police chiefs of each incoming administration to sign a covenant that they will make maximum effort to defend businesses against rioters—or be personally liable for any damages.

Otherwise—fuggedaboutit.

Leave your Democrat voting policies behind if you do leave.

“This started out to be about George Floyd,” said a man on Clark Street. “But it turned into something else, about what they could grab and take and ruin. Look at it.”

If past is prologue the REAL looting is just starting.

As people of all other ethnic groups make sane choices and MOVE OUT of birthing hellholes, city blacks buy their well maintained homes on the cheap. A beautiful $400,000 home will sell for $200,000 then if it gets as bad as Detroit - that home eventually sells for $10,000 or becomes a boarded up dump.

Yes, the real looting is about to start... these cites will never recover and the only winners will be the people who get out first.

If you have doubts check the history of cities burned and looted by blacks...

------------

In this July 23, 1967 file photo, hundreds of people run down 12th Street on Detroit's westside throwing stones and bottles at storefronts. The riot started after police raided an after-hours club in a predominantly African-American neighborhood. The raid, though, was just the spark. Many in the community blamed frustrations blacks felt toward the mostly white police, and city policies that pushed families into aging and over-crowded neighborhoods.

These photos were taken 50 years ago Sunday, on the first day Detroit riot of 1967.

And yet, this morning Mayor Groot in Chicago *refused* to allow the National Guard in to protect the city and its citizens.

That stupid bish is frighteningly stupid for someone who was such a successful federal prosecutor.

Krystalnacht. All that is missing are the focus on Jews. I pray that is not coming. Social change, nationwide, by destruction. It is so reminiscent of “the Night of Broken Glass”, November 9-10, 1938. The days that Europe was thrown into war.

Actually, there have been incidents of vandalism against synagogues in the Los Angeles area, with slogans like "Free Palestine" written on the outside walls.
