William Hale Thompson (May 14, 1869 – March 19, 1944) was an American politician who served as mayor of Chicago from 1915 to 1923 and again from 1927 to 1931. Known as “Big Bill” he is the most recent Republican to have served as mayor of Chicago.
Democrat run for 89 years.
Where is the media? Where is BLM? Where are the riots?
Democrats will go lower and lower, anything to maintain power, including creating special race groups who deserve more than others because of skin color. It is sick.

#Minneapolis looks like a war zone.
What about the black people who have no grocery store now?
No pharmacy. No gym. No restaurants. Nothing. Everything is burned to the ground.
Don’t those black lives matter, too?
Now they’re destroyed. pic.twitter.com/Z8HukY3D9n

Woke universities are heading for a major correction
Sean Lennon has proven to be a voice of reason and sanity from the liberal wilderness
George Korda:
“…Minneapolis, Minn. has been under Democratic control since 1978. Chicago has been under Democratic control for 89 years; its present mayor is a black woman. Philadelphia has had Democratic mayors for 68 years; three of its last five mayors have been black men. Six of the last seven Atlanta, Ga., mayoral administrations were led by black Democratic mayors, and the present mayor is a black woman.
“A city runs its police department and other services; therefore, if there is so much ‘systemic racism’ in these organizations, why hasn’t it been corrected over so many years under Democratic leaders?
“Why aren’t these cities garden spots of racial tolerance, understanding, and virtue?”
There have been no answers…”
It is clear that Trump is running against the entire Washington swamp. There is no difference between Washington Republicans and Washington Democrats and Washington media and Washington entrenched bureaucracy. They are the same and they uniformly hate Trump. They think they still hold sway over American politics, I don’t.
You can’t make this stuff up
Wait…Bush, Powell and Mattis opposing @realDonaldTrump is supposed to make me like him LESS?

This is tax payer funded cult-type behavior because Democrats fund this crap. Reject it. Ridicule it. These people are fools.

Ridicule these fools

“…This is exactly the kind of thing Scientology does, requiring those inside the cult to cut themselves off from those outside, even close family members. In fact, in Scientology those on the inside are denounced for failing to distance themselves from friends and family who aren’t supportive.
Even apart from the cultic nature of this, it should strike people as obviously wrong. The author isn’t recommending an appeal based on reason or empathy, he jumps directly to emotional blackmail. It would have been one thing if he’d merely said, ‘talk to your friends about why this matters.’ But he’s gone beyond that to saying anyone who really cares should demand compliance. The creepiest part is his justification of this demand, i.e. “love requires sacrifice.”
If you love me, you’ll sacrifice your relationship with your friends and parents.
This is the point at which adults should suddenly realize they’ve been asked to join a cult and should tell author Chad Sanders they aren’t interested in his “friendship.” Seriously, have any of your friends ever told you to cut yourself off from your own parents? What would you say to them if they tried it?…”
You can’t make this up. Nobody would believe you.

Schools no longer teach history that does not meet ideological tests. Graduates are credentialed, but not educated. They have encumbered a mountain of debt for this dubious credential. Higher education is a train wreck in progress. Things that can’t continue, wont continue. Higher education is in for a reckoning. The stress of the Covid crisis combined with technological advances may hasten the reckoning. Think hard before spending big on school.
Students haven’t heard of Tiananmen Square, won’t say China is a threat.
Conrad Black:
“…No president since Abraham Lincoln has had such a relentless sequence of crises to deal with as President Trump has had. Franklin D. Roosevelt had constant overarching crises: the Great Depression and the recovery from it, the approach of a world war, and the war itself. But never in his more than 12 years as president, even when he grappled with the collapse of the financial system and after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor had severely damaged the U.S. Navy’s battle fleet, did he seem in the slightest beleaguered. Every day of his presidency, Abraham Lincoln was dealing with the horrible crisis of the secession of the southern states and the terrible war that ended the insurrection.
Some presidencies seem reasonably serene, like the folklorically resurrected Calvin Coolidge, who said little and spent little and did little. Dwight D. Eisenhower is remembered as the happy combination of the smiling, avuncular, golfing president of whom the nation twice said with their votes “I like Ike.” He was, after all, the victorious five-star general who conducted the greatest military operation in the history of the world and received the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany in the West. The 1950s seem now as they seemed at the time, an era of peace and prosperity despite the regular threats of recourse to nuclear war coming from the leaders of the unlamented Soviet Union: Joseph Stalin and Nikita Khrushchev. Bill Clinton, coasting on Ronald Reagan’s immense economic boom and his almost bloodless and complete victory in the Cold War, as well as on the very competent foreign policy of the senior President Bush, had the most carefree time of any president since Coolidge.
We now know that President Trump is the only holder of his great office whose election was schemed against at the highest levels of the Justice Department and intelligence services of the preceding administration, and who was the subject of a spurious special counsel investigation set up even after it had been established that the grounds for it—a possible conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russian government—were known to be complete fiction.
When that fraudulent enterprise collapsed, Trump was briefly the subject of the most ludicrous impeachment proceeding in American history…”
