Business Exodus Continues

Another one bites the dust:

  • The Gap is closing its two-decade home on the Magnificent Mile, leaving a big space to fill on Chicago’s best-known retail street.

    Signs in the North Michigan Avenue flagship’s windows announce the upcoming closure, but the store remained open for business Tuesday.

    The clothing chain has occupied the postmodern, Stanley Tigerman-designed building since 2000.

    Gap representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

Oddly enough, guess who else wasn't available for comment? Groot and Fatass.

And this isn't the only business related news - we got this from a tradesman who loops us into things:

  • ...the massive Pro Mat Trade show scheduled for April 12-16 at McCormick Place, has been canceled due to “local regulations.” Pro Mat brought in over 50,000 visitors to Chicago for the week. That is 1000’s of hotel rooms, 100,000’s of restaurant meals and other services all gone.

    Not to mention the taxes this event brought into the city.

    Lighthead has told the Trade organizations that she does not anticipate any events to be held at McCormick Place in 2021.

This sounds great for next year's budget.

Looks like the nationwide goal is to shutter as many businesses as possible, large and small. That way, the powers-that-be can confiscate the buildings, make them state-owned, and rent them to special-interest groups and have state-run workplaces. Smaller business entreprenuers would basically just become state-owned cattle in a socialist society. All farm cows (state-owned workers) will be equally fed, housed, and watered as long as they are able to create product. Population will get an equal share of the production based on thier proven need. Excess product (profit) will belong collectively to the cows, but will be redistributed by the State in order to maintain the farm so the cows can work.

I think most Americans would not like to live like a cow. I could be wrong.

The endgame is to bankrupt businesses, the city, and the pensions.

Force masses of people into unemployment and eventually a "universal income" (socialism).

Buy as many firearms and rifles as well as ammo as you can.

Build a 1 year supply of food, water (water filters), hygiene products per family member.

Have alternative energy and power sources.

There is going to be a revolution/counter revolution in the United States.

May your aim be true!

DemoRats want nothing more than to inflect economic pain on America going into 2021, in the hopes of exploding the welfare rolls. Remember what Pelosi said, "Economists agree that unemployment benefits remain one of the best ways to grow the economy in a very immediate way,". The demoRats will do anything to subjugate Americans to the government teat of perpetual dependence. Even if COVID-19 is abated elsewhere in the world, the demoRats have found the Achilles heel of the American economy and liberty of people, a pandemic.
Masks, lockdowns, quarantines, proof of vaccination, censorship/curbing of Constitutional Rights and penalties/fines for not following the regulations/edicts of the demoRat dictators is the playbook of demoRat party.

They want everyone to stay locked in until Fauci gives the word coming from a guy with millions and privilege. If you missed it and hopefully you did, this is the summation of his bit. And to think this is coming from a guy whose dad was a firefighter who dies in the Twin Towers during 9/11. Disgraceful.

With each passing day, the wave of outrage is taking over this country and in Trump's favor to overturn the results of this election. Maybe this was the point. To start an open civil war, a coup of epic proportions. When Lin Wood says "this is 1776" and he might be right.

Trump always is ahead of the game and he is planning on this scenario. He has been quiet for the most part but has been active with the military. Don't be surprised if you hear the name General David Petraeus come up again soon and don't forget General Flynn. Military planes and groups are really active lately and plans are in place for something big. Trump has wanted to do this for a long time and the time will be here soon. Be prepared, it will be ugly before it gets better.

I'm getting calls from liberal relatives in Chicago that tell me how bad the spike is in my state. They are very concerned. It is hilarious. Their city is imploding and they are more worried about false media reporting about a place 1000 miles away. When I tell them that it is all nonsense, they turn on CNN or MSNBC for support.

If you like censorship, expect more of this once Biden gets elected. Since the safe harbor time has passed, Youtube will now block any content that states there has been election fraud of any kind. Welcome to the New World Order. If you voted for Biden, you voted for censorship. This is only the beginning.

The next step will be to remove all those false and misleading videos of voter fraud. Orwell is so right on so many fronts. Order 1984 before it is too late and buy it in book form (not digital) because they will probably dumb it down for our sensitive readers.

This slippery slope just got a whole lot more dangerous. Stand up people for your rights, this is your only chance, once they are gone, they never come back. It is 1776 and we are being attacked by the ones we entrusted with power.

The Magnificent Mile Association announced a new holiday tradition: "...Festive window displays from 15 cultural and community partners in storefronts available for lease along North Michigan Avenue..."

This includes "Nearly a dozen window displays from South and West side community partners feature a 7.5’ holiday tree and showcase cultural traditions, holiday décor, artists in residence, and neighborhood businesses in their communities."

"With our partner, BMO Harris Bank, and their leadership in the Invest South/West initiative, this seemed like the perfect time to find new ways to connect downtown with Chicago’s communities of color and together offer an abundance of holiday cheer in these 13-city blocks that will shine brightly through the winter months.

A lot of investigations are taking place right now dealing with the female chinese spy and some of the people on the National Intelligence Committe. One California democrat has already said "no comment" which means yes and now more democrats are being implicated. Wonder if Groot and Jelly Belly have been hanging out with the Chicago Chinese Consul of Chicago lately? Journalists, want to see how much money is changing hands in Chicago and Illinois lately? Might win you an award but it will more than likely get you blackballed and fired.

This is an invasion by China and sanctioned by our own. Now you know why nobody except Trump criticizes China for anything: slave labor, re-education camps, slave labor, blackmarket organ harvesting, Chinese flu, etc.,

The only good sign is that all the loudmouths, Pelosi, Shithead, and others have been really quiet lately. The approval of the inauguration for Joe Biden, a no-brainer motion and non-event, did not pass which leads to speculation that the rumors in Washington are real.

If Trump wins, the corruption that will be exposed will be incredible. It will damage the Democrats the most but many Republicans are complicit in this. Make note who is quiet during this time because the silence speaks volumes.

This rabbit hole goes deep. Keep the faith, it is not over yet and the Texas vs. Georgia suit could be the game changer.

Run it to the ground and anything rising from the ashes will appear to look like economic growth, even if it’s just snacks food, shoe bazaars and dollar generals stores that rush in. Larri doesn’t care.
Give props to ShortShanks for his Chicago beautification, though it came with a price over the past 30 years until Rahm took over and caved into condoning lawless behavior and got destructive feral rolling.

What does this city have to offer its taxpaying residents and businesses? Think of that expensive Rahm Riverwalk last weekend and the onslaught of wilding feral. Think Smith & Wollensky are eager to reopen? Water Tower...plywood on the 10th floor...c’mon man.

Frumpy dowd, miserable angry Señor Froggie hasn’t done a thing for this city since the TIF funded $220,000 city hall office rehab, her only tangible start-to-finish accomplishment.
To think just 7,000 votes separated ShortShanks 3 from second place Prickwrinkle in the runoff.

JB and a few “global” venture capitalists are in waiting.
Keep your eye on Trump Tower. When the marquee goes, it’s all over.

One more thing...
Larri had set aside and doled out $300 million in CARES Act to airports. Wonder who’s benefiting airlines (NO), it’s the concessions, specific owned or about to own interested donor-vendors. Remember Larri’s secret meeting/email communications with a business owner lobbyist looking for O’Hare concession deals? Larri is following orders from someone higher up, she’s not that smart. She’s in on the destruction of business for a purpose and too stupid to realize she will be left holding the bag.

Welcome to 1984. Youtube will not allow any videos questioning the results of the 2020 election. This is the beginning and all other social media sites, newspapers, and MSM will follow suit. They monitor the pushback, tweek a few things, and then the rest do the same. Look at the news sources they suggest: MSM are the top 5.

We are at the crossroads of our freedoms. If you don't speak up now, if you don't take a stand, you will lose your freedoms for ever. Once it starts, all your freedoms and rights will be gone. If you love what you have (and this goes for you liberals and Democrats) then you need to be on the side of America.

Trump was there excuse and if he is gone from the picture they will roll over all of us and will destroy everything we value.

Americans need to come together, put Trump hysteria to the side, and see the real picture. We are being attacked by foreign (China) and domestic (Democrat and Republican swamp creatures and Wall Street) and we cannot stand for it.

All people, regardless of political loyalty, need to open your eyes and see what is going on. Don't riot over politics but stand up for your rights, your freedoms, your livelihoods because they are going to be stripped away.

Not defending LL, but the lack of conventions is not all her fault. My wife has been in the convention industry for almost 30 years. Her organization refuses to ever to come to Chicago again. Its all has to the bullshit fees and regulations. You have to pay a union electrician to plug in a lamp, a union carpet layer to put down a rug, have to buy all refreshments from McCormick place. Its insane.

Hats off to Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf. He is suing Governor Gretchen Whitmer over her trying to delete all the voting records for the 2020 election before he has a chance to investigate voter fraud allegations in his county, he alleges in a new lawsuit.

In the lawsuit, Sheriff Leaf et. al. allege that there is "massive election fraud, multiple violations of the Michigan Election Code," and other violations of Michigan elections codes. They also allege that Gretchen Whitmer was the brains of the operation, stating:

It is alleged in King et al v. Whitmer et al, 2:20-cv-13134-LVP-RSW, that the multifaceted schemes and artifices implemented by Defendants and their collaborators to defraud resulted in the unlawful counting, or manufacturing, of hundreds of thousands of illegal, ineligible, duplicate or purely fictitious ballots.
Further, according to the lawsuit, Whitmer is currently in the process of deleting the voting records for the 2020 election despite Dar Leaf currently investigating voter fraud allegations made to him in affidavits from people coming forward in his county.

Whitmer is knee deep in fraud and accepting Chinese money. She wants to bring her state to their knees and then all of a sudden Biden gets into office and all these Chinese companies are going to open up shop and build all these factories and create all these jobs and everyone will be happy.

I hope they arrest this witch for selling out our country and all these other democratic governors.

Interesting action taking place involving Youtube. Youtube, owned by Google, said from this point on, no channels will be allowed to question the validity of the 2020 election. So basically this means complete censorship and deplatforming all conservative voices like Candace Owens, Brandon Tatum, etc.,

Why? Why would a company make such a poor business decision and unpopular one at that? Maybe because they know this fraud is on the precipice of getting exposed by the Supreme Court.

Google, Facebook, Twitter -- Big Tech, were in on the Big Steal from Day one. COVID, part of the big steal also. Everything suppressed like HQ+Zinc as a low cost medicine to combat Covid, banned and censored. The Plandemic video and the doctor, banned, doxxed, and removed from Youtube.

In desperation, you make desperate moves. Something big is taking place and there biggest fear is the Supreme Court. A Supreme Court filled with constitutionalists, people dedicated to the language of the document, and what Georgia did was a clear violation of the Constitution. Clear as day.

Darth Thather Ginsburg, this was the one thing that they didn't plan on. She had her chance and Obama pleaded with her to retire, but she didn't and she bit the bullet and now we have ACB. Barrett is a true conservative and they hate her. Squeaky clean, all-american, never will be a part of the swamp. Roberts is a Chinese asset or CIA asset, but anyway he is compromised.

Allito is pissed at his instructions being discarded and Kavanaugh would love to rip a few heads off of the judiciary committee (hello Kamala, how are you?), Thomas (Hey Sleepy Joe, you didn't think you would see me again after you're high tech lynching, did you), and ACB is a letter of the law person and will do the right thing.

This Youtube move is telling and it means something serious is brewing and this is a straight assault on anyone to seeks out information beyond MSM. Only time will tell

Well for all you that voted Democrat, congratulations on your new overlords. Enjoy.

Youtube 12-9- 2020 Yesterday was the safe harbor deadline for the U.S. Presidential election and enough states have certified their election results to determine a President-elect. Given that, we will start removing any piece of content uploaded today (or anytime after) that misleads people by alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, in line with our approach towards historical U.S. Presidential elections. For example, we will remove videos claiming that a Presidential candidate won the election due to widespread software glitches or counting errors. We will begin enforcing this policy today, and will ramp up in the weeks to come. As always, news coverage and commentary on these issues can remain on our site if there’s sufficient education, documentary, scientific or artistic context.

YouTube also announced that it will be promoting “authoritative news sources,” such as NBC and CBS:

I wonder what the suicide rate is this year. Reading about teens that have killed themselves due to this lockdown shit and isolation. Also have to wonder about the number of murder/suicides, the product of domestics pushed over the edge by loss of jobs and lockdowns. You don't hear much about either of these two major issues from the MSM rats.
Funny the dems point to Norway as the grand scheme but this plan is nothing like life in Norway.

We headed down this course due to Clinton back in 2000. But it wasn't Clinton alone. Other rats aboard the ship, and caring zip about anyone else but themselves and their cushy swamp life. "China was voted by the U.S. Congress to be approved for Permanent Normal Trade Relations. It was May 2000. It set the table for China’s entrance into the World Trade Organization. And the rest, for anyone making kitchen knives at a tool shop outside of Chicago or a hospital still in need of N95 face masks, is well known history at this point. Voting for normalized trade relations with China back then was a bipartisan effort. Everyone agreed China had to be brought into the Western world’s globalization plans. The vote in the Senate was 83-15. A near total landslide". Like to know who those 15 guys were, they were the smart ones. Now look at us.

Of course the very rich will get richer and if things get dicey they can move off show to some tropical paradise. But the rest of us, we're stuck. One thing we have the Chinese don't have are a very militant black population. The BLM/Antifa folks will be fighting Biden tooth and nail from the start. Of course they are no brains and will serve a purpose for awhile. Throw them a few more crumbs for now. Gates, Zuckerburger, and other slime on our new money. And can't forget our Chinese friends. I have always despised the Chinese. Not all the average people stuck, but the country as a whole. Someplace I'd never want to visit. No need, it's coming to us. The good times roll on.

I fear a revolution like we never seen. I don't think that's being an alarmist either. Makes me even long for the lame 80's. I feel real bad for the young, good folks and what they may have to endure. I've been watching a yt channel of a nice married couple in Norilsk, Russia. Near the North Pole, he doesn't talk about politics much but I don't think he wants to live here now. Interesting channel, how the other half lives. https://www.youtube.com/c/lifesadance

Levi’s stopped manufacturing here shortly after the Gap stopped selling them in their stores. Companies like theirs are responsible for the decline of manufacturing in this country. Paid 70 bucks for basic cotton button up shirt. 3 washes and it was coming apart.

Interesting developments recently with Hunter Biden hit with tax evasion charges and long forgotten Clinton/Obama insider Seth Rich coming out that the FBI has his laptop (he used Hillary dirt/emails as protection - Wikileaks source). He eventually got whacked walking down a street in D.C.

The Hunter Biden case might be a precursor to Biden leaving after a 100 days and Harris taking over. Seth Rich laptop may have been a preemptive move to stay ahead of the news because Trump is going hard at the alphabet agencies and people are starting to squirm under the spotlight.

On top of those two stories, you have Youtube censoring any talk of a rigged election which seems rather bold. Maybe they know something we don't but I'm sure she will find out soon.

The Groot/AOC Squad/BLM crowd will riot for this UBI; it is the essence of everything they stand for.

"Along with job redundancies and the rise of working from home, this means there is less and less need for people to work in city office jobs.

"This is a disaster for big cities because property values are crushed and shops and restaurants feeding 'worker drones' are no longer viable.

"Professionals and part-time workers also start fleeing cities because the 'quality of life in small, over-priced apartments in higher crime neighbourhoods loses its appeal'.

The big trade shows may be planning for summer and fall 2021, but who knows if people will feel comfortable traveling.

As an exhibitor, I would be wary of spending $50,000 for a booth, if the attendance might be only 50% of normal. That would apply for any city.

I live in the Chicago exurbs and attend many trade shows for my industry. The two cities that I consider most "anti-attendee" are Chicago with a 17.5% room tax once all the taxes are added up, plus $50 or $60 overnight downtown parking, along with Las Vegas, with its moronic $50 "resort fee" (for which you get free local phone calls) and not having a small refrigerator or microwave in the room, unless you are willing to pay another $25/nite for each.

Democrats run everything into the ground because they known they won't get voted out of office, as Joe Biden said they have the most extensive voter fraud organization and need not worry about anyone voting for them.
These people need to hang, after trials of course.

Wonder if Groot and Jelly Belly have been hanging out with the Chicago Chinese Consul of Chicago lately? Journalists, want to see how much money is changing hands in Chicago and Illinois lately? Might win you an award but it will more than likely get you blackballed and fired.

I'm sure the Chineese have been corrupting Chicago politicians long before the two clowns Beetlejuice and Prickster arrived on the scene.
Remember when the little prick Shortshanks decreed Shanghai Chicago's sister city?

Suburban malls are busier than ever. Ordinarily I would take the bus downtown to buy special gifts. But due to the regular disturbances/daytime hold ups, last month I decided to drive to Old Orchard. The parking lots were full, you would think it was the last shopping day before Christmas. Lets hear about business at Oakbrook mall, Northbrook Court, Woodfield mall and other suburban shopping areas.

There was and is much more at stake for many well known politicians, including 44, by "electing" that diaper-wearing old fart. Not to worry my friend, that diaper-wearing old fart will not be placing his hand on the Bible come January 20, 2021, that I can tell you.

Ask yourself why the DOD under President Trump spent over $200 million dollars during the last 2 years building out Guantanamo Bay? Ask yourself what is the significance of Trumps Executive Order of September 12, 2018?

I'll bet LL knows! Do you think LL is sleeping soundly now? That knock on the door at 4am can be a real eye opener!

And now you can know why too.

A lot of investigations are taking place right now dealing with the female chinese spy and some of the people on the National Intelligence Committe. One California democrat has already said "no comment" which means yes and now more democrats are being implicated. Wonder if Groot and Jelly Belly have been hanging out with the Chicago Chinese Consul of Chicago lately? Journalists, want to see how much money is changing hands in Chicago and Illinois lately? Might win you an award but it will more than likely get you blackballed and fired.

This is an invasion by China and sanctioned by our own. Now you know why nobody except Trump criticizes China for anything: slave labor, re-education camps, slave labor, blackmarket organ harvesting, Chinese flu, etc.,

The only good sign is that all the loudmouths, Pelosi, Shithead, and others have been really quiet lately. The approval of the inauguration for Joe Biden, a no-brainer motion and non-event, did not pass which leads to speculation that the rumors in Washington are real.

If Trump wins, the corruption that will be exposed will be incredible. It will damage the Democrats the most but many Republicans are complicit in this. Make note who is quiet during this time because the silence speaks volumes.

This rabbit hole goes deep. Keep the faith, it is not over yet and the Texas vs. Georgia suit could be the game changer.

If you like censorship, expect more of this once Biden gets elected. Since the safe harbor time has passed, Youtube will now block any content that states there has been election fraud of any kind. Welcome to the New World Order. If you voted for Biden, you voted for censorship. This is only the beginning.

The next step will be to remove all those false and misleading videos of voter fraud. Orwell is so right on so many fronts. Order 1984 before it is too late and buy it in book form (not digital) because they will probably dumb it down for our sensitive readers.

This slippery slope just got a whole lot more dangerous. Stand up people for your rights, this is your only chance, once they are gone, they never come back. It is 1776 and we are being attacked by the ones we entrusted with power.

Please educate yourself and turn off Main Stream Media/ It's ALL propaganda, thanks to the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012.

The hell that is Portland, Oregon.

So who is PAYING this rabble? Hundreds of people cant be available 24/7/365 to wage war over strangers" decades-old financial problems. Not just like that.

Violent crime spikes in Portland neighborhood as armed activists set up 'autonomous zone' protected by booby-traps to protest eviction of black family as mayor tells them to 'put down their weapons'

* The Kinney family have owned the Red House since the 1950s but took out a new mortgage to pay defense lawyers for their son, William III in 2002

* The house went into foreclosure and was sold to a developer in 2018 and the family say they were evicted at gunpoint three months ago

* A group of activists have camped at the home ever since to express their outrage against gentrification and the eviction of the black and Indigenous family

* The outrage came to a head Tuesday when the property owner complained people were trespassing and officers showed up and made several arrests

* Police said Wednesday occupiers have been stockpiling weapons and making 'threats' to community members, the media and police in the zone

* Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell issued a plea to demonstrators Wednesday to 'put down your weapons' and warned officers will use force if necessary

* The same day, people were seen setting up more barricades including spike strips made of boards and nails and armed guards were stationed in the area

Chicago is definitely on life support now. Violence, taxes and the crew running the show will officially put the city to death. If you happened to work at all downtown recently or in the past, mentally ill , homeless people and groups of honor students are conducting hunting raids on random citizens. Tourists have and will not come back. If any of you had the chance to work the navy pier 4th of July fiasco, you seen children and their mothers hiding under tables and complete kaos. A few years back, a previous mayor stated “this is not your fathers Chicago “. He was a 100 percent correct. Shootings, murders, hunting parties, tax increases, morons given parking ticket books hammering what’s left, and leadership which is a complete failure. It’s a rotten shame that evil has prevailed here.

Lori Lightfoot is mayor because Jerry Joyce decided to run to settle a score against Bill Daley - that's it plain and simple. Say what you want about the Daleys but Bill Daley would have been a helluva lot better than LL. And where is Jerry Joyce? No one has heard a peep from him since he screwed the pooch for Daley.

***
I agree that Daley would have been WAY better than LL and the asshole from Beverly really did just split the vote. I did, however, meet Bill Daley while he was running at a small meet & greet he did at the law firm that I worked at. Seemed like a decent guy--certainly the smarter brother--who was DISGUSTED that the city's crime was spinning out of control under a useless states attorney.

But then, one of his entourage asked him a question about the pension liability problem and Bill made a comment about the "55 and out for some of these cops & firemen is just too sweet of a gig." Note, this meet and greet was held less than a week after 2 officers were led to their death on the Metra Electric tracks by some shithead firing a gun.

I waited until the event was over and walked him to the elevator and told him that I am from an LEO household. I reminded him that there are 2 young cops who won't make it to the "sweet pension gig" because they were struck and killed by a train. Well, Bill looked at his minion who asked the scripted question, shook his head and said he was sorry. He said he has scripted answers about pension and he shouldn't have said that.

You're right, he would been far better than Lightfoot, but damn--it made me sick to hear him say that an earned pension was a "sweet gig."

Agree. I had to visit Nordstrom up there. They had one entire entrance (the one nearest the purses) all boarded up. You had to enter off the smaller parking lot. After riots & looting in summer, I saw that they had armed police at their entrance (not guards but Skokie PD). They also had every single purse locked up to the racks.
