No Longer Number One

Chicago is now Number Two (pun intended):

  • A new town is claiming the unsavory title of “rattiest city,” a title long-held by Chicago, according to a study released Tuesday by Orkin pest control company.

    For the last 10 years, Chicago has held the unwanted title of “America’s rattiest city,” a label the city has been trying hard to shed. The city was granted its wish when Los Angeles took over the No. 1 spot.

    [...] The shift was likely influenced by weather patterns, urban infrastructure and human behavior, the pest control company said.

    However, Chicago still holds the No. 2 spot — with New York City in third place and San Francisco in fourth.

"weather patterns"

It's always "global warming."

Even the rats are leaving under BJ's tenure. First the businesses, then the gods, tax-paying citizens, and now the rats. They all see the writing on the wall.

Hey. Hey. The solution to fake global warming is for less freedoms more restrictions and more taxes.
Fake polar ice caps was going to melt in 2000. Didn’t happen.
In the 90’s the threat of another ice age in 10 years.
Acid rain in the 80’s. Never happened.
In the 70’s the threat of the fake ozone layer was going to be destroyed. Never happened.
In the 60’s the oil reserves will be depleted. Never happened.
What did happen? More taxes.

Believe nothing. Question everything. Don’t worry about LA. Newsome and Bass says everything is fine.

The rats are leaving just like eveyone else. Animals can sense coming weather and Chicago is supposed to have a colder and wetter winter.
From AI:
Chicago is forecast to face a colder and wetter winter, with forecasts from agencies like the NOAA and meteorologists from NBC, CBS, and AccuWeather predicting above-normal precipitation and a colder-than-average winter. This is largely due to a combination of a developing La Niña pattern, which tends to bring more active weather to the region, and a marine heatwave, nicknamed "The Blob," in the Pacific. This pattern could lead to more snow days, similar to the brutal winter of 2013-2014.

Rats of all kinds have been lured to LA by the two pied pipers, Greasy Gavin Newscum and Karen Bassface. They love the two legged ones. Unfortunately
for the four legged ones they will be consumed by the LA fires to come.

According to the theory of karma, re-embodiments are essential to achieving the perfect, eventual balancing of individual accountabilty.

Thus, the calculus of karma, being applied, results in the neccessity of copious quantities of vast varieties of species' body forms to dot every i and cross every t on the checklist of karmic debt.

Being as a rat whilst animating body human results in being a rat body occupant, likely thousands of times, to balance the debt of ratness.

Ditto for all other than human species bodies.

These ratings are utterly ridiculous. They are based solely on Orkin's calls for rat control, not on how many rats a city actually have. All it means is that Orkin does more business in the cities it rates as having lots of rats, as opposed to places that use other companies or do it themselves, as I do!

Chicago Teachers Union spent $173K on poolside recording studio, won’t show audit to members

Each year CTU files a report with the U.S. Department of Labor detailing the money it has received and spent in the previous fiscal year. Buried within its 2025 report is a $173,000 expense to On Point Studios.

The location: Albuquerque, New Mexico.

I honestly believe Pritzker could demolish any other governor in a hot dog or pie eating contest. So, number one there. And Conehead easily has the most ridiculous haircut of any politician anywhere. He also might be absolutely the most ignorant, in this country anyway.

Put out food regularly for your pretty neighborhood free roaming felines. And not only always that fucking cheapskate dry food. Meat scraps from your meals, etc., placed in one spot only, will provide an edible welcome mat to your neighborhoods free roaming cats.

For those who will complain that this will attract rats, well, to a sparsely yet reliably fed cat, rat is merely a bonus meal of fresh meat.

Ask any farmer why they relish having barnyard cats, kittens and help them raise their families as needed.

And no, this ain't the same as ghettoish slobbery.

Weren't these trash containers supposed to be rodent proof? When their lids are reliably closed?

Agreed - the Chicago rats are so plentiful that many have spread out to the collar cities. My relative lives in a southwest suburb that had NO rats five years ago. Now the rats are running across the streets day and nite. His neighbors complain constantly of the new rodent infestation. He lives four suburbs always from the Chicago border.

A harsh winter will spell trouble for the illegal foreign army being aided and abetted by Democrat Socialists running our bankrupt city. Give to the illegal foreigners and their new potential voters at the expense of US citizens living on hard times. Blacks and Hispanics citizens realize this and know the Socialist Democrats have used and abused them for so long - but no more. Tell the Dems to "pound sand".

I remember growing up the 1936 educational film "Reefer Madness" was always rolled out by Democrats as showing how out of touch and unscientific conservatives were. I wish someone would roll out the 2006 film "An Inconvenient Truth" and point out the blatant lies and uneducated guesswork on climate change. No Al Gore...the snow on Mount Kilimanjaro and the polar ice caps did not melt causing the state of Florida to not sink beneath the ocean by 2016. {Honk Honk} We are all tired of being lied to by so-called experts and intellectuals.
