Weekend Reading
It never hurts to be aware of Chicago politics, especially in these uncertain times. Here's a few articles to assist you on your journey.
The Contrarian covers how the media is failing at their job:
All news is curated. Regardless of the source, all the media that you see, hear, or read – all the information you consume – is aggregated. Behind every "fact" there is someone, or a group of someones, who thought that particular piece of information was important enough to be shared. Whether we realize it or not, the definition of "newsworthy" is being made for us. The editors at media companies are the curators of all the information we use to make decisions.
Moreover, it's impossible for everyone to know everything. So as a society, we rely on the media to provide us with the information we need to make intelligent decisions regarding ourselves and our families. And it's more than some newsworthy event over here; some heartwarming story over there. Much more.
Conehead comes right out and says it - "get out of the progressive's way"
- Did he or did he not ask Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez to resign? Earlier this week, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said he did not ask anyone to do anything, but when asked to clarify that statement Wednesday the mayor was tight-lipped.
"I don't ever discuss personnel issues," he said. "I find it to be highly offensive, irresponsible and raggedy, and I don't do raggedy."
However, Johnson made it clear that all of his leaders must share his progressive agenda to transform public education.
So, no opposition allowed. His way (the CTU's way)( or the highway.
And if you don't get out of the way....:
- A day after Mayor Brandon Johnson announced his entire hand-picked school board would resign, about three dozen members of the City Council blasted the recent developments in an open letter.
Following the announcement of the resignations, the 38 aldermen wrote, "This is unprecedented and brings further instability to our school district."
Conehead wanted CPS to take out a short-term high-interest loan to cover hundreds of millions of unavailable dollars. Martinez said, "No," so first the CTU lied and said he was the subject of a DCFS investigation, then Conehead demanded he resign (to avoid a generous severance package) and finally, Conehead bullied the entire Board to resign, so that he could appoint an all-Conehead team who will find a reason to fire Martinez and install a puppet to sign off on half-a-billion dollars that taxpayers will be forced to pay off when CPS defaults.
Is it any wonder that property tax assessments skyrocketed just now?

Good bye Chicago. I used to love you and was your biggest booster. I'm about to sell my house and head to a Red State. I hope the new buyers won't get sticker shock when the next property tax bill arrives.
Ask any former student of Taft High School who the school was named after, ten bucks they say no idea.
To all the cops who think Taft is good, well I hope your kid enjoys Mickey D's.
The media is failing their jobs? Wrong, wrong, wrong, SCC. The media's job are to be the information wing of the Democrat party and they are absolutely stellar at it.
Their problem is that nobody with a functional frontal lobe trusts them anymore and alternate sources of actual information like X have overtaken them. That's why Democrats are so desperate to censor and regulate X to death.
We are from France. Consume!
(apologies to SNL)
Well we now know that Conehead cannot do math very well? Or his staff is afraid to tell him he is screwed? Conehead asks for the CPS leader to resign? Which would cause him to loose any severance package? The CPS guy refuses Conehead. Conehead denies asking for CPS leader to resign? The CPS school board refuses to fire the CPS leader? So then Conehead gets the CPS board to resign? Just so Conehead can handpick a board that will fire the CPS leader? This will look great when the CPS leader goes to court showing a hostile work environment! And then the City has to pay his severance package along with a settlement to go away?
So this action will cause the city to pay out more money to defend the goofy Conehead move? Who is running this city? It cannot be Johnson or maybe it is? Can we ask hm to resign?
Did we just sell off the parking meters and skyway again? Because Johnson is writing checks he has no money to pay for? When a judge sees that Johnson forced out an entire board to hand pick a new CPS board just to fire a guy! The amount of money plus severance to pay Martinez off will be huge?
"I don't ever discuss personnel issues," he said. "I find it to be highly offensive, irresponsible and raggedy, and I don't do raggedy."
He's such a drama queen, should be on the RuPaul drag show circuit...
Retired in Texas……

So Brandon wants to sink the city of Chicago into more debt with a high interest payday loan to satisfy his handlers at CTU. Why didn’t Brandon use a payday loan to keep his water bill current? What a hypocrite and a poor manager. That’s raggedy.
Let us consume mass quantities of beer and Eggos! Nice one.
When Conehead's head finally explodes, and it seems like its going to be soon, is that $30,000 cone of hair going to wound anyone around him like shrapnel from an Iranian missile?
Some of the populace gets upset when they hear about the communist wanting to put a tax on unrealized capital gains.
However I ask you what do you think the property tax scam is? Property taxes are taxes on unrealized gains! Let that sink in.
Like Capitol gains tax on stocks whereas let's say your investment doubles in value after 7 years and you are taxing those unrealized gains and you don't have the cash lying around to pay an unrealized capital gains tax you would be forced to sell your investment assets to pay the tax.
So isn't that almost exactly what property taxes are? People slowly getting taxed out of their homes because the property doubled in value which is nice however they can't afford the new property tax in retirement.
I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of homeowners in Chicago have their homes and land seized soon under emanate domain. The land is needed for public housing for illegal immigrants and the money needed for the Chicago Teachers Union. therefore it's all for the public good right? At least that is what they will sell ppl on as fir the process.
BTW if the Kackler is gonna go after the price gouging she should start with gov. Prickster and his Illinois gasoline tax and automated tax increases tied to inflation. Sales tax on top of gasoline taxes . Tax..tax..tax..tax...tax
Better than my kid leaving catholic school a wide receiver after the Father Nelson hold.
The media is an arm of the democrat organization. It's pretty simple, they take their talking points from the organization.
Once more wake up, he'll be forced out, as will chrimesha in her new job. She womt last. Defund the politiliars.
"Ah don' do raggedy" quoth Conehead the Elginian, up in they.
"...I don't do raggedy."
Except when he's trying to speak English.
Goodbye!
This is so true.
I did that. Sold my Loop apt and ran to a nearby red state. There are blue folks here, but the state is red. But more than that, people are low-key and pleasant. Enjoy.
