Yet Another Connection

No only does Dart hire relatives of media folks for six-figure jobs, Crimesha has her own little cottage industry going with the media:

  • The Sun-Times had an interesting scoop last week: Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx was losing the campaign fundraising war to her Democrat-turned-Republican opponent on the Nov. 3 ballot, Pat O'Brien.

    O'Brien's lead in collecting cash didn't last, though — thanks to Sun-Times' ownership. The Sun-Times seemed to foreshadow the turn of events in an Oct. 14 headline: "With contribution limits blown by the Republican's self-financing, donors are now free to give as much as they want to either candidate."

    Sure enough, by Oct. 16, Sun-Times investor Michael Sacks and his wife stuffed another $111,600 into Foxx's campaign war chest — a total of $807,250 since September 2019, state records show. That helped boost the campaign contribution total to Foxx from Sun-Times owners — Sacks, Elzie Higginbottom and the Service Employees International Union, among them — to more than $1.3 million, public records show.

    You won't find a word about that in either the newspaper's story about the fundraising race in the Cook County state's attorney election or its editorial board's endorsement of Foxx.

As a blogger far more famous than we once said, if you just think of reporters as democratic party operatives with by-lines, everything makes a lot more sense.

Perhaps Michael Sacks should move his family to Englewood to witness the slaughtering of blacks that has escalated after Crimesha’s new policies. I love how liberal pricks like him will support a soulless animal like her, but neither of them have the balls to move to an all black neighborhood where the allowance of criminals to walk away from the judicial system or to simply get a slap on the hands, has overall led to marked increases of crime in black neighborhoods. Sickening.

What kind of Imbecile would donate money to the campaign of a racist politician like Kim Foxx?

Let's say, Foxx spends $250,000 if that money on her campaign.

Win or loose, there's still money in the chest.

Where does THAT money go? That's the million dollar (or close to it) question!

I wish I could cancel my subscription, but I never had one. She's the worst states attorney in our lifetimes and these editorial jerk offs endorse her?

Service Employees International Union

Wow!! Those service union guys are left wing boosters who use their coffers to help nutty Democrats? Who knew?

Don't tell me the Chicago Teachers Union might have communist leanings... I refuse to believer that tall tale!

The SEIU is a political communist movement and their members are employed in Hospitals to condo highrises.In highrise condos with the help of managment companies and incompetent board of directors SEIU workers have more access to the building then the owners do.Wait till the communist leaders order them all to walk off the job at once when they cry about something they want and cant get.

And on the national level, you can think of reporters as "C"lowns "I"n "A"ction operatives.

I know we’ve criticized this Mark K. reporter I think when he was working for Sun-Times, but in all fairness he has come up with some decent at least balanced reporting and critical reporting when it comes to the political climate as of late in this city.

She let's the criminals out and keeps the so-called journalists in business with the non stop shooting, robbing, killing, raping, carjacking,looting to report on. I guess they owe her. The reporting of the criminal element is the only thing the Sun-Times have left

Soros bail out of a failing campaign? What does he know?
I’m sure SlumTimes took full advantage of the PPP money that the Fed doled out for their essential StayAtHome reporter pool, so it’s not like it was their money.
Look, here’s the deal...
Unions raid Strike Funds and redistribute them to various Dems as campaign donations, it’s a tried and true way to fleece the membership. Labor unions here always win it back when the city approves their contracts and that’s how Member Dues are raised.

Straying a bit off the topic, but figure how the Fed Bailout money comes in handy during global pandemics....
Toenail RëichsWrinkle just announced she’s adding another round of Cook County Free Covid’s Money Handout program for the south suburbs, that’s somewhere in the $50 million zip code specific zone...with 8 days left on the KmmFxxxUp 2020 re-election bid. So things might not be as rosy as her abysmal campaign strategy claims to be. RëichsWrinkle is flooding the south side not only with Mail in ballot harvesting but providing rent, mortgage handouts with covids CARES Act funds. something they bemoaned Willie Wilson was doing with his own personal money. All by design, hold out the handouts until politically beneficial when ordinarily they would be laundered into excess wasteful spending using select third party supply vendors.

And by the way again....did you know that JB Pigfluenza has spent +$7.5 Million of IL’s $1.5 Billion on select Covid Hotel reserved room rentals...with Hyatt Schaumburg getting the most at $2.9 Million for just 31 Covid patients over a 2 month period from April to June. Mmm-mm-mmm.

KmmFxxxUp 2020 needs money...fast, because all those unmarked County vehicles shuttling ballot collection boxes and campaign literature under the cloak of darkness need to pay cash for that fuel and expenditures to avoid FOIA paper trails, understand many vendors and poll workers routinely got stiffed by Dems in the past, so upfront cash is necessary - during these challenging times.

It should be illegal for unions to give money to any candidate or elected official.... The members are free to contribute according to their consciences..... The height of stupidity is for the democrat unions to pay into the candidate of a party trying to raise EVERYONE's income taxes and TAX your pensions......

PROPERTY Taxes are off the charts .... but hey reelect foxx the fixer who is a pal of he gov and mayor.

There have been many studies and news analysis, some checking voter registration rolls, and they all show that over 90% of media types are democrats.

The SEIU organized all the Fight Club types. Remember, "his name was Robert Paulson."

At 8:34 a.m. ... the SEIU highrise workers have more access to the building than the residents (both condo owners and renters) do: that is absolutely correct. The front-desk people are SEIU; the maintenance people are another union. Under the direction of the property manager, the people who live here have few rights. I owned for years in a major East Coast city (with non-union building employees) and never saw condo or co-op buildings run like this.
