Illinois Dems Eating Their Own?
- The husband of Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown was given oversight over millions of dollars in programs in Gov. Pat Quinn’s scandal-plagued anti-violence initiative despite having a felony conviction for a financial crime, according to court records obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.
A felony conviction is barely a hurdle to holding political office around here. If you're a democrat, you just don't mention it around in polite company, the media pretends it doesn't exist and everyone goes on stealing and grafting and pocketing money. But here's the media breaking its silence for some reason.
- Two separate law-enforcement agencies launched a new round of inquiries Friday into Gov. Pat Quinn's now-defunct Neighborhood Recovery Initiative, marking an expansion into the dual criminal probes of the governor's tainted, one-time anti-violence program.
"The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority has received inquiries from the Cook County state's attorney's office and the U.S. Attorney's...office-Central District regarding the now-defunct Neighborhood Recovery Initiative. We are working with these agencies to provide all records and requested information," said Cristin Evans, a spokeswoman for the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority.
Wait a minute....Anita? Anita Alvarez? Anita is issuing subpoenas? Against a sitting democrat?
Dear god, could this be the year the Cubs win it all?
Or Bruce Rauner does?

Former felony convictions, sex with children, animal abuse, practicing witch, none of it makes a bit of difference if you are a democrat. The ONLY thing that matters is loyalty to the party and loyalty to the cause. All else can be ignored or set aside.
Hmm 9.5 freinds w Rauner. 9.5 freinds w prez. Prez sends us attorney to investigate Quinn before election. I won't even mention Anita her investigations are a joke. Chicago is till the epicenter of political corruption.
This story will be huge as well as it should be. The many reverend family's had fun with our tax money sent to them by our state leader. Give the tax payers back the 58 million dollars that were lost to the zoo in which has been created.
Paving the way for Lisa in 4 years. Remember Quinn is a self-admitted progressive. He either loses to a repub or is taken out by the feds. In steps Lisa. Wouldn't do to have another dem challenge Quinn, a sitting dem. Look at the thought-to-be serious contenders before the primary. All dropped from the list.
Perhaps Emanuel is trying to move Quinn out, in order to get his guy (Rauner the RINO) in...

Call the wagon, lock'em up.
One wonders why this is coming out now. Things like this happen for a reason, and the States Attorney's office is as political as anything else in this state. The U.S. Attorney's office is not as bad, but they can be motivated by politics also. I wonder if certain important democrats in this state want Quinn to loose. Question is why?
Well, it seems like there are only dems in Illinois.
You can count the Republicans on one hand, not to mention 50 out of the 50 Chicago alderman.
We don't even have the illusion of choice.
Only in Chicago, Illinois is this corrupt backrubbing allowed. Favors for all scumbag politicians in Illinois. Nothing to see here I'm sure it's all just one big misunderstanding like an episode of Three's Company.
Rahm wants Quinn out . He and Rauner make millions together while Quinn only makes Rahm hundreds! Watch out for that Rauner guy A WOLF IN SHEEP CLOTHING!
OT:
Bt 1612, HX246037: F/2/13 victim was walking near Avondale and Harlem when unk offender driving a grey full-size pick-up truck, possible extended cab, possible diesel, offered her a ride, then demanded and persisted that she get in the truck. Victim took out her cell phone to call police, offender fled. M/4/20
You really can't see it? Rauner backed and kicked money to Rahm. He is also running against Quinn and is a pension killer. It's as plain as the nose on your face
If Bruce does win our pensions are hosed.
"A felony conviction is barely a hurdle to holding political office around here."
A hurdle?
In Chicago, it's a prerequisite.
Most of it took place around 2010, but it's just now coming to light during the Governors re-election campaign.
Co-inkydink?
In Chicago, it's politics as usual.
Cubs wont win it all until next year 2015 when they beat the Miami Marlins. That was Back to the Future II's prediction and I am sticking with that.
The establishment wants Rauner, period.
The money crowd and Rahm are dirtying Quinn up.
1.) Get the reverends/gangs to suppress black turn out in Cook County.
2.) Play for "smart, independent, suburban women". That's why Bruce's wife is allover TV assuring them he only has an economic and education agenda. He's not a bat-shit crazy Christisn who will take your free birth control away, ya' know.
3.) Dirty Quinn up.
Come January, let the good time$ roll!!!!!!!! Loot for everyone (except pensions).
Bruce Rauner will win. HES A DEMOCRAT.

Just to add to this....happened on a Saturday around 12:30pm.
Just remember, you can't vote against Madigan if you're not in the right district. Oh wait, you can.
Right around the time that Rauner announced that he was running he had a meeting with Governor Madigan. Like to know what that was about? Madigan than came out with his pension plan. Setting the stage for a tag team fucking? Nothing is legit in this corrupt state!
We'd all better hope that Quinn emerges from this unscathed. The Feds were sent in on this at Rahm's request to get his BFF Rauner elected.
Quinn handed out other people's money to the reverends as bribes....uh, I mean "walking around money."
Say what you want about Republicans, when they pay people off it's usually with their own money.
How's that 67% "temporary" income tax hike working for ya?
You get the point, Emanuel has sided with anyone who's against labor and for stealing pension pots of gold.
Emanuel is no democrat. His philosophy is that of the "new" democrat, and that's take it all away from public employees AND taxpayers and give it all away to the rich, since they're the ones paying for public office.
Letting Rauner win is a guarantee to constant legal battles for your pension rights.
Letting Rauner win is a guarantee that everything u under the sun will be used against our pensions in order that they be used as investment vehicles for Rauner's connected pals to get rich off of by bleeding fees away and putting money into fake investments that close up after the money's invested.
Rauner will not stop until ALL public employees are slaves and have no retirement anymore.
Rauner is anti labor no matter who it is, and if you want to see wages drop to shithole Chinese levels go ahead and elect Rauner.
It starts with public employees, it doesn't end there. His rich backers will work tirelessly to ensure that ALL protected labor in Illinois is gone and with it goes ALL labor wages in this state.
Illinois will become "right to be poor" just like the other states where labor is a slave to it's employer's greed level.
The future:
Lisa makes her name as an anti-patronage, anti-corruption states attorney doing the greater good, indicting those miscreants. Daddy retires in another 4=years, spending his time building the machine that has Lisa stepping into with both feet as Governor. And the band played on.
And you think that Rauner had nothing to do with this? Like Rauner had nothing to do with Rutherford's problems? Just coincidence? Taken directly from the David Axelrod playbook (remember Ryan?).
Remember, Rauner is nothing more than a "play Republican".
Rahm thinks that he's oh clever and that no one will see through this.
I smell a Ram
I'm sure Anita will conduct a light investigation with no substance. In the end she can say it was investigated.
if bruce wins kiss your pension goodbye!
Can't vote for Rauner. He will take my pension for sure.
Hillary Clinton received the Lincoln award this week. Nice to see how the Dems in Illinois honor their own for their stellar achievements. I have one word to say to that, Benghazi!! But the stupid sheep will elect her president in a few years anyway.
I'm not a Quinn fan...but he lost $55 million...Rahm is crying broke but has $100 mill for DePaul, $90 mill for his navy pier fly over, $ 55 mill for Maggie Daley park, says his schools have 1 billion dollar deficit because of those greedy teachers...but has $432 million for Obama High School and to add anexes to 4 schools that are 60 % over capacity due him closing schools...Madigan comes up with $100 million for Obama's library from a state that claiming broke...and no one says a thing where all this money is coming from......anyone in the media want to call Rahm and Madigan on their BS????
The democrats have no intention of making good on their pension obligations and need a republican governor to take the blame.
What's up with the goofs from Gang enforcement that took over six hours to write a case report and an arrest for a simple robbery. Geez the group of you looked like a bunch of chickens running around with their heads cut off.

Shaking crybabies like you live in the grip of fear created by the Democrats. Get a brain and think for a minute. Pensions were never endangered by a Republican administration - they have been systematically looted and short-funded by Democrats. But keep voting in Quinn, Madigan, and all the other magicians who blow smoke up your ass and tell you it's gold dust. God help us, there are soooo many stupid people in Illinois!
Quinn is a brainless jerk but that rauner guy is a real a-hole. Him and that snake Rahm will destroy the pension system!
We can't let him win!!!!
We gotta stick together!
Vote for Quinn....I hate him but he is the lesser of two evils
Mrs. Alvarez please do slam Willie Johnson and the attorneys whom advised him to come foward with his lies. I heard that since the statue of limitation was in affect he and some lawyers plan this so they including the jailed wore supposed to split the millions in exonerated case and all the "who's who" of former judges and attorneys urging you to NOT prosecute the illegal actions of this guy may be the same that advice you NOT to do the same with Koschmans case, look for the former U.S prosecutors in that list that advised Willie Johnson. As long as you do your due diligence the inoccent will prevail and the guilty will pay. This story is going to bring a lot of prosecutions. I wish you to prevail Mrs. Alvarez best of luck and stay firm.
Given the turn out for the FOP election and the fact that the retirees essentially put the current administration in place without the slightest idea as to how it might effect their pensions, chances are were all screwed.

Drug cartels are ruining Cinco de Mayo
By Matt Egan @mattmegan5 May 5, 2014: 9:38 AM ET
NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
"Don't blame your bartender this Cinco de Mayo for tossing a lemon in your Corona. Blame shadowy groups like the Knights Templar Cartel.
"While the great lime shortage of 2014 was initially sparked by severe winter weather and drought conditions in Mexico, criminal organizations have used violence and extortion to exacerbate the situation. The price of a case of limes, a mainstay of margaritas, guacamole and summer beers, has more than quadrupled in recent months.
"Mexico is the world's largest exporter of limes, sourcing [providing] almost all of the limes the U.S. consumes.
"The Knights Templar, which is based in the lime producing epicenter of Michoacán, is a splinter group of La Familia Michoacana, the drug cartel dismantled by law enforcement around 2011.
"Breaking up major organized crime groups into smaller pieces does not necessarily make them more manageable..."
"In recent years the group has pushed into kidnapping, human trafficking and extortion of various business owners, including those involved in lime exports.
"As it becomes more and more difficult to move drugs into the United States, all of these cartels have diversified their businesses," said Shannon O'Neil, a senior fellow for Latin American studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.
"Cartel members have demanded a certain percentage of orchard owners' lime shipments, threatening to burn down their farms, rape their daughters or kill their children.
"Business owners inside and outside the lime industry have recently pushed back by forming vigilante "self-defense" groups, which have battled the drug cartels in violent shootouts."

It's true. Limes (damned small ones, too) were 3/$1.00 at the store yesterday. Used to be 10/$1.00, and bigger.
Understand that the avocado growers are also under attack.
The SCRUBS are 4000 to 1 at some Vegas Casinos i.e..Railroad Pass Casino. This is the year…
BWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH……..
Bruce Rauner plays MLB? In Chicago?? Can he pitch or play the field???
Since it was a State program, should the State Attorney General handle the case?
Lisa? Anyone home?
Perhaps Emanuel is trying to move Quinn out, in order to get his guy (Rauner the RINO) in...
-------------
Exactly. Since when does the Cook County SAO do these kind of investigations? Come on, let's be real here.
Quinn has a decent chance to win and Rahm's not happy about that.
"If Bruce does win our pensions are hosed." Actually, I think it's the other way around. If Bruce does not win, your pensions are hosed. Guys, the tax payers/businesses aren't going to stand for the increases in taxes to fund the pensions, and the politicians/union bosses that have gotten us into this mess have no idea how to get us out. Rauner will probably drive some fundamental changes to pensions, but in doing so he will make it so you actually have a retirement instead of a disaster in waiting.
Stay tuned true believers: another breaking news story tonight at 10 on ABC7

Quinn is NOT Combine. There is nothing unusual here. The Combine candidate this time is Rauner, since they want to take our pensions soon. The only honest politician in Illinois (I didn't say competent) will probably go to jail.
they Democrats [communists] of Crook County and rest of U.S. are all no-good, lying Weasels, covering for their Liar-in-Chief in the Fright House. All a bunch of Hypocritesand Traitors to America..

SCC: Time for a post on the happenings over at FOP. Why were two ELECTED guys (DiMaria and Gorman) thrown out and three guys that were not elected (Carter, Harvey & McDonagh) brought upstairs? Dean Angelo is ripping a page right out of the old Mike Shields playbook. BTW, Sorry to hear about the nonsense Dan Gorman. You deserve better.

By the way Dean the Dream who brought Bill Nolan back to the fold as immediate past president has not been thew immediate past president for at least 12 years. John Dineen is now our parliamentarian at $7200.00 a year a position that has never been paid for in the past. Every one of our elected officers are going to expect that we make up the difference from their salary to D-8 pay even though they are not brought up to the office as field reps. Additional Dean the Dream has already notified MLAS and had the guys he wants as field reps assigned to FOP at D-8 captains pay. He is suppose to receive board approval first before these field reps are appointed and it has not happened yet. We now officially have another dictator. Does what he wants and says fuck you to the board.
How about we have a write in ballet for South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy. That man would destroy the corruption in this state in four years.

This is only the tip of the ice berg. Once again the membership has made the same mistakes by voting for "change." Ridiculous.
She must have drawn the short straw between her and Lisa i cannot find any corruption madigan. Powers that be thought somebody local should at least appear to be looking into something the feds are looking into. God forbid the media calls it what it is a see no political corruption hear no political corruption speak no political corruption states attorneys office.
As mucha s possible she will pull a dan webb say theres lots of smoke but we cannot do anything about it now that the feds are involved.
