Commander 005 - DEI Hire

This happened in 005 the other day:

 A non-demonized minor child decided to throw a rock at a homeless person, missed, and hit a window of the 005th District station causing it to shatter. Notifications up and down the chain of command with CPIC getting a call. So what is Commander Jackson worried about?

Apologies for the poor quality of the picture (that happens when you take a phone snapshot of a computer screen) but the narrative reads as follows:

• When you encounter a person or population that lacks adequate housing, or nightly shelter the term UNHOUSED or UNSHELTERED  referrenenced.
• The attached depicts an example of a notification that was poorly vetted . Ensure proof reading prior to dissemination of docs / emails.

Speaking of "proofreading" we'd suggest the commander have someone go over his writing as we spotted improper punctuation, atrocious grammar, and a number of spelling errors.

Perhaps worry more about twelve-year-old girls throwing rocks at homeless sidewalk inspectors than a CPIC notification no one will ever see or care about. 

Write the Ticket....That's All

The Slum Times is whining about Traffic Stops again:

• The Chicago Police Department made fewer traffic stops in 2025 than in the previous year and less than half the stops it made in 2023, according to a new report by the Illinois Department of Transportation, but Chicago police officers continued to pull over Black and Latino drivers at much higher rates than white drivers.

  The Chicago Police Department reported 224,851 traffic stops in 2025, about 23.3% fewer than in 2024 and 58.0% less than in 2023.

You would think the lib-tards would be ecstatic about less traffic stops. You'd be wrong:

• IDOT uses two methods, or benchmarks, to measure the rates at which drivers are stopped. Those attempt to estimate the driving population or the total mileage driven within the jurisdiction of each law enforcement agency. By one measure, Black drivers were 3.6 times more likely than white drivers and Latino drivers were 2.85 times more likely than white drivers to be stopped by the Chicago police last year. By another measure, Black drivers were 5.6 times more likely and Latino drivers 6.9 times more likely to get stopped.

  Most traffic stops made by the Chicago police last year, about 67.6%, were for non-moving violations, according to IDOT.

  Those stops in particular have drawn flak, with some critics contending that police officers routinely use minor traffic violations as a pretext to stop drivers — and sometimes to search their vehicles — in hopes of uncovering more serious crimes.

  A lot of traffic stops in Chicago are for things like expired plates, tinted windows and broken taillights, said Maya Simkin, an Appleseed Network Collaboration for Justice Fellow with Chicago Appleseed and a member of the Free2Move Coalition. “It’s not about posing a genuine safety risk.” 

We've said this maybe a hundred times or more:

• A "minor" traffic violation is still....A VIOLATION!

Imagine that! It was proposed, debated, voted and codified into LAW by the elected representatives of the State and SIGNED by the Executive in charge when passed. A small part of it is about SAFETY. A larger part is about making sure tax revenues are paid to the government by ALL citizens.

And a stopped vehicle can be visually evaluated for additional violations because it's easier to inspect when it's standing still. An Officer can ask questions of the driver which might lead to more questions which might lead to the driver being asked to exit the vehicle (which they are required to do under the Law)....

...BUT...

...a driver being ignorant of their Constitutional Right to deny a search of the vehicle absent a Warrant or Exigent Circumstances isn't the responsibility of the Officers to correct. That responsibility would belong to an educated populace who understood and passed Civics 101 in a successful school system, which most blue-state shitholes don't have. And lib-tards don't want an educated populace lest they vote against leftist bullshit.

So how to solve this "issue." There are two ways to do it:

1. propose, debate, vote and codify a new LAW eliminating these so-called "minor" violations and get the governor to sign it so it applies to ALL Illinoisans - not just the black and brown ones who - for whatever reasons - economic or other - fail to properly maintain the licensing and operational safety of their vehicles, or;
2. Officer write the ticket for the stop AND ONLY THE TICKET FOR THE STOP - and walk away. No "pretext," no questions, no further investigation incident to the stop. Give them their envelope and instruction sheet about how to go through the process and let the Courts handle it all.

That's it. No more imagined scandal. No more "You only pulled me over because I'm purple" bullshit.

• you got pulled over because your ghetto hoopty is missing A, B and C, 
• it's on the squad cam, 
• it's on the body cam, 
• here's your ticket, 
• tell the judge all about it.

End of story, end of media "outrage," end of race-baiting crap that's been long overdue for a reckoning. 

This Guy Gets It

But he doesn't want to rock the boat too hard:

• An Illinois lawmaker who also serves as a police officer says Chicago’s new campaign posting signs on CTA trains and stations warning that violence is illegal is a positive step, but real improvements in public safety will require stronger enforcement and a greater law enforcement presence.

  The CTA recently began displaying signs throughout its transit system reminding riders that violence is illegal.

  In a video that gained traction on social media this week, Cook County State’s Attorney said the campaign is intended to deter crime and encourage witnesses to report criminal activity.

  “We are putting up these signs as an indication of what the consequences will be to any fearful actions on the CTA,” Burke said. “We are hoping to deter crime and to encourage people to move forward if they are witnesses of a crime.”

  State Rep. Patrick Sheehan, R-Lockport, who also serves as a police officer, said he appreciates the campaign’s message but questioned why such reminders are necessary. “I’m not opposed to the sign. I actually appreciate its forcefulness,” Sheehan said. “I just think it’s an absolute shame that these need to be posted in the first place.”

"Forcefulness"? It's a freaking sign. There's no "force" behind a sign. There need to be consequences, and that means substantial fines, jail time and for repeat assholes, prison. 

It didn't "need" to be posted, but if you're looking for a reason, look no further than Crimesha Foxxx.

Now They WANT ShotSpotter?

Or a replacement (which Conehead probably wants....as long as his team is getting the connected contracts):

• A Chicago City Council Committee is talking about public safety and St. Sabina's Father Michael Pfleger is calling out city leaders.

  He and others are upset that the city has not yet replaced the Shotspotter system, which detected gunshots and alerted police.

  Several advocates including those who have personally lost children to gun violence were clear that if there is no replacement for Shotspotter then the system needs to be brought back.

  It's been two years since the gunshot detection system was dismantled in Chicago.

And the Brandon Body / Conehead Corpse count stands at eighty-four according to CWB blog.

Were all eighty-four casualties pillars of society? Of course not. 

Will they be missed? By a small segment of their respective populations.

But what pfather pfleger forgets is the right people aren't being paid off, so the system stays inactive for now. Remember, the system was "racist" for being installed where the gunshots were most prevalent and the criminals were mostly minority and the voters were mostly stupid for buying into that narrative. 

Circling the Drain

As we have been saying for decades, if you don't have consequences for bad behavior, you will get more of it. Here it is again:

• Forty percent of Chicago Public Schools students miss 10 percent (or more) of school without a valid excuse. How do we know that? Because the Illinois State Board of Education produces an easy-to-understand “report card” for every school in the state.

  But that report card is changing as the state pushes to better gauge improvement, regardless of a school’s individual challenges.

  Part of the rebrand is deleting the term “chronic absenteeism.” Schools will no longer be downgraded if students fail to show up, but a school’s overall grade can be “lifted” if students demonstrate “consistent attendance.”

So if students "consistently" show up 89% of the time, well....that's consistent, right? Even if it tops the 10% threshold that indicates a problem.

And they won't be holding school personnel, administrators or parents for that matter accountable. 

But you know what their solution will be when kids can't read at grade level when they're pushed out the door? More taxes for a failing product.

Blaming Who?

Aldercreatures say dumb shit all the time.

This DEI alder moron said just about the dumbest thing we've heard all year:

• A Chicago alderman, incensed by the upcoming closure of a Walgreens store amid safety concerns, stated that the corporate retailer should be charged with "first-degree corporate abandonment."

  Ald. William Hall, along with several community members, held a news conference Monday to voice their anger over the company's decision to close the location in Chicago’s 6th Ward in the Chatham neighborhood.

  "Walgreens should be charged with first-degree corporate abandonment," Hall said. "It should be a crime, the way they're treating our elders. It should be a crime, the way they're treating our families."

Not a word or a mention about how his constituents are treating Walgreens though?

And is this one running for mayor or something?

• Ald. Raymond Lopez, a Democrat, said he understands the community's frustration but questioned the timing of the outrage.

  "Where was that anger when the stores in our communities were under years and years of assault by criminals allowed to shoplift, vandalize, and destroy neighborhood institutions?" Lopez asked in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Many leaders say it is simply an insurance matter. They are wrong. There are real-world consequences for crime running rampant. This closure is the perfect example of that effect."

He certainly isn't making any aldercreature friends talking like that.

Careful Out There

It seems we triggered the folks over at Forensics (click for larger view):

The Department used to threaten us with this one semi-regularly. It made us cautious, but didn't really stifle us much. We actually had a lawyer on standby for a while with all sorts of expertise in social media usage off duty, and he thought we might get a nice size payout....if we weren't in Illinois.

In any event, remember - they'll tie you up in the investigative process, but they'll have a difficult time proving they can control your off-duty behavior. 

They'll try though. That's what totalitarian leftists do (see the post a few places down from this).

Oh, and fuck off Meagan. 

UPDATE: And while you're fucking off, you might want to read up on Employee Resource Order 02-03-01. It has to do with Timekeeping. 

And then take a look at CPD 11.602S. That's your supervisor time card. How many acts of Official Misconduct are documented on that we wonder? 

We suddenly have four or five people e-mailing us all sort of stuff about FSD shenanigans involving people splitting shifts, working half-days, running personal errands while on-the-clock, the usual crap that goes on when politically connected people think they can get away with anything. We certainly hope they aren't picking up those children in a city vehicle while everyone else has to pay for babysitters.

Explain?

We've got explanations galore:

• Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling must explain why the number of times police officers used force against individuals has significantly increased since 2022, and detail what he is doing to reverse that trend, according to a measure approved by Chicago’s police oversight board.

  Snelling, who took over CPD in September 2023 after being appointed by Mayor Brandon Johnson and unanimously confirmed by the Chicago City Council, must also explain why the number of times officers pointed their guns at individuals increased 44% between 2022 and 2024, according to one of the goals unanimously set for Snelling to achieve in 2026 by the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability during its meeting on Jan. 29.

  “It is imperative that CPD provide community members with an understanding and explanation of why these increases have been occurring and what, if anything, the department is doing to identify and address any trends,” according to the goals set by the commission, which has the power to set CPD policy and is responsible for evaluating Snelling’s performance.

Gee, maybe we're seeing the culmination of years of telling people to resist the police? Resist federal officers? That there's some sort of "right" to become physical in their efforts to protest? That they can fight and/or flee from the police with zero consequences thanks to Crimesha's years of not prosecuting the Law as written and passed by the Legislature?

Hmmmm? 

More Baseless Allegations

This is what passes for "reporting:"

• An inside source says some Chicago Police officers are arresting Black, legal gun owners for personal gain, despite them having valid FOID cards and concealed carry licenses. 

  This comes nearly two months after CBS News Chicago uncovered multiple cases in which CPD officers stopped Black gun owners for minor traffic violations and then charged them with felonies, including unlawful gun possession, even though they had legal firearm licenses.

  The source, whose identity CBS News Chicago is protecting, is a decorated police veteran who rose through the ranks. The person came forward to offer a rare glimpse into what motivates some officers.

  "You know, if I'm going to be honest, I think race is a big factor," the source said. "Police might think folks on the North Side are more affluent, and they have more means to come back at you if you arrest them for situations like this."

As proven time and time again, race  being a factor in traffic stops was revealed to be a non-starter. How many years has the Sparklefart TSSSSSSSSSSS card been in existence? Twenty now? It was supposed to be two years. And all it showed was nothing about race being a motivating factor. Compliance with the Vehicle Code, knowing the Rules of the Road, maintaining insurance and licensing requirements were cited far more often in the minority communities, but that was directly attributable to economic and educational factors that no one wanted to talk about.

Oh, and the upgrades to charges? That isn't decided by the CPD - that's a function of the States Attorneys office, and they rely on a database "maintained"  (ha-ha) by the Illinois State Police. 

Does anyone know if the David Harris quoted in the SeeBS article is the former commander?

• "You shouldn't be arresting people who are obeying the law, period, full stop," said David Harris, an expert in police law.

Because someone by that name was giving out a WWF Championship-type belt regularly for big number generators, many of which ended up being dismissed at Court for assorted reasons. It would be highly amusing if he was the one criticizing arrest numbers. 

D'oh!

Nice uniform there Captain:

 

We guess they don't have uniform inspections before promotion ceremonies any more?

When she looked down at her name tag, she probably said, "I can read it, so it must be good." 

Conehead Wants....the U.N.?

This moron is delusional:

• Arguing that “no country should be above international law,” Mayor Brandon Johnson urged the United Nations Human Rights Council on Friday to hold President Donald Trump’s administration accountable for what he called a “worsening human rights crisis in the United States.”

  In a virtual appearance before the panel’s members meeting in Switzerland, Johnson invited U.N. experts to come to Chicago to witness firsthand abuses committed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during raids he said have wreaked havoc in neighborhoods across the city and suburbs.

  “That is why I call on this council to hold the federal government of the United States to the same standards of accountability you apply elsewhere in the world,” Johnson said, urging the group to consider holding a special session on the matter. “Human rights are universal — or they are meaningless.”

Mayor slave Conehead would be shocked and highly disappointed if the rules in other countries were applied here:

• most of Europe, Iran - 1 to 3 years
• China - 1 year
• Russian - 2 years
• Iraq, Japan, Taiwan - 3 years
• South Korea, Malaysia - 5 years

All sentences are followed by immediate deportation. Caught again and most sentences double. 

Funny how Conehead wasn't calling for any of this while tens of thousands of minorities were being gunned down in the streets the past few decades - after all, those people (or folks) vote, too - probably as reliably as the ILLEGAL ALIENS.

Democrats Hate You

Remember, this a$$hole was elected to be a United States REPRESENTATIVE, but who is he looking out for?

So....not US Citizens, but ILLEGAL ALIENS.

Also, ICE called 911 today, alerting Chicago authorities that they were being chased by a vehicle with "M" designated plates - a municipal vehicle.

Who could that have been?

• So...up in 016 and 017 Aldercreature Roseanna Sanchez of the 33rd Ward was chasing around Border Patrol agents in a marked streets and san vehicle with flashing lights, and running through all sorts of red lights and stop signs. Chasing down BP agents yelling and screaming and acting like a crazy person. She was yelling at CPD, and threatening to call the mayor on them because they are not "protecting the community". This woman has gone completely insane. 

Again, someone elected to REPRESENT Chicago taxpayers. But she's operating a non-emergency vehicle in a dangerous and unsafe manner, interfering with Federal officers doing Federal work.

Can you imagine if she hit another vehicle? Or ran over a pedestrian?

And she's going to yell at CPD while she attempts to protect ILLEGAL ALIENS who don't belong here and didn't elect her? 

Democrats are Morons

Dickhead "Turban" Durbin is historically ignorant, but he's counting on you being more historically ignorant:

• Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) compared U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II while speaking Monday at the U.S. Capitol during a Senate Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism hearing on immigration enforcement.

  During remarks delivered from the Senate floor, Durbin said, “There was only one parallel in history that I can think of that has occurred in my lifetime, and that of course, would be the internment of 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War Two.”

And who was it who forcibly relocated those Japanese-Americans (80,000 of whom were actually born in the United States) and seized their property, leaving them destitute and without legal recourse?

• Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a democrat and hero to the party that has been working tirelessly to destroy the foundations of the country.

Remember, this dimwit also called US troops "nazis" back in the early 2000s. 

He's far from the most ignorant, but he's among the more prominent.

And then there's this moron, so desperate to find racism in anything the President does, he has to manufacture it:

• By seeking to assert control over civic architecture, Trump is creating a physical testament to his destruction of democracy, Reinhold Martin, an architecture historian and Columbia University Professor, told TPM. It’s an aesthetic offshoot of Project 2025’s goal to gut public welfare and government services, Martin said.

  [...] Trump is also leaning on the idea that architecture can be used — as groups like the Daughters of the Confederacy realized in the post-Reconstruction era — to hearken back to a whiter past. “The classical architecture stuff is a dog whistle for white nationalists,” said Martin, who co-edited a book titled “Architecture against Democracy.”

So building a ballroom that would let State Dinner attendees avoid Port-o-Shitters on the East Lawn is a bad thing, because it invokes racism?

Can anyone tell us what is Sparklefarts "dog whistling" for with this architectural gem?

 

Kind of reminds us of the project buildings up and down the Dan Ryan where we used to spend evenings in getting our ::ahem:: step counts in. We wonder if it will smell the same?

Conehead the Ignorant

The hair product used to shape his cone is obviously leaking into what's left of his brain:

• Chicago’s self-professed “progressive” Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson said on Saturday that there are no “illegal aliens” in his city and it is racist to say there are.

  He went on to say that if we refer to “undocumented individuals” as “illegal aliens,” then we should also call all black people “slaves.”

Um....no. We don't think we will. We will continue to call you a dumbass though.

First up, you were never a slave. Neither were your parents. Or grandparents. Slavery officially ended 160 years ago. The country fought a Civil War over it.

Second, you think it affords you some sort of protection or - dare we say it - privilege from being descended from those unfortunate souls. It doesn't - it's just a crutch you use to cover-up your own shortcomings. Constantly.

Third, to be undocumented means to be be ILLEGAL, and ALIEN is a person who is not a citizen or national of a particular country. The term is completely appropriate and actually legally defining. 

• He went on to once again conflate racism against blacks with the migrant issue, and added, “Listen, the legal term for my people were slaves. You want me to use that term, too?”

  Johnson then climbed on a soap box and scolded the press about its penchant for attacking “human beings.”

  “Let’s just get the language right,” the mayor snipped. “We’re talking about undocumented individuals that are human beings. The last thing that I’m going to do is accept that type of racist, nasty language to describe human beings.”

"were." Past tense. As in "Your people were freed 160 years ago."

ILLEGAL ALIENS "are." As in "They are presently and still ILLEGALLY in the country.

See the difference? You were a school teacher, right? You taught grade school? So the language is correct - no one is calling them "not human." Those using the term ILLEGAL ALIEN are legally describing their state of being.

As for being "racist," we've seen ICE arresting and expelling all races - white, black, Hispanic, Asians of all types - there's nothing racist about immigration status.

• Indeed, Johnson is so sold on his support of illegal aliens that he could not bring himself to say if he would support deportation for a violent migrant who raped his wife.

  [...] Johnson constantly shoehorns anti-black racism into the migrant debate as if opposition to illegal aliens taking American jobs, swamping schools and hospitals, engaging in rising crime, and stealing welfare and healthcare funds from citizens is the same thing as hating black people.

Conehead is supporting ILLEGAL ALIENS to the detriment of actual black people. Their illegal employment at artificially depressed wages takes away entry level jobs that would usually go to Americans....perhaps economically disadvantaged black Americans? 

The ILLEGAL ALIEN children who go to school are eating up instruction time that could be better used attempting to get the reading and math scores up - perhaps in the poorer American minority neighborhoods so that when one of those entry-level jobs opens up, an American teen or single mother could get it, work at it, and get promoted to something better?

But then they might end up voting for republicans. Better to import a new voter than try to convince someone who notices things haven't gotten better in North Lawndale or Englewood after one-hundred years of The Machine being in charge.

What Do They Expect?

All sorts of people whining about tear gas. 

If you don't want to get gassed, stop with this bullshit:

• Residents on Chicago's Northwest Side are outraged after federal agents, once again, deployed chemical agents against protesters. This time it happened as parents and children were heading to a neighborhood Halloween parade in the Old Irving Park neighborhood     

  "Started hearing some whistles and when I looked out I saw two fully uniformed Customs and Border Patrol agents tackling a guy to the ground Literally in my front yard right here," resident Brian Kolp said.

  That man been working on a nearby home when federal agents chased him down and took him into custody in the 3700 block of North Kildare. His brother said he is an undocumented immigrant who came to the U.S. with his family when he was 4-year-old.

  Within moments, angry neighbors poured out of their homes, joining protesters blowing whistles who had been on patrol looking for federal agents.

Unreported was the numerous sticks and rocks thrown at federal officers, but hey, that's routine for Chicago. 

So the feds, who are tasked with enforcing National Immigration Law, arrested an ILLEGAL ALIEN, and the neighborhood got upset because democrats told them that no one is above the law....except ILLEGAL ALIENS and assorted other voting groups that tend to vote left because that's who promises them money. 

And instead of teaching their children to mind their own business and obey the law, they drag them out to use them as props when the manufactured outrage crowd provokes a perfectly legal and efficient countermeasure approved in the Federal Use of Force model.

More of this please. 

More Dem Hypocrisy

They call everyone on the right fascists....while acting like fascists.

They claim everyone on the right is violent....while supporting and encouraging violence.

Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias felt left out, so he started whining about license plates:

• Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias is warning federal immigration agents that swapping or altering license plates during the Trump administration's enforcement operations is against the law and "will not be tolerated."

  Giannoulias issued the warning after reports surfaced that ICE agents have been changing or flipping state-issued license plates while carrying out what he described as "military-style deportation efforts" in the Chicago area.

  A video circulating on social media appears to show a federal agent telling someone, "You can record all you want. We change the plates out every day."

  In response, Giannoulias said, "Swapping out license plates or tampering with them to avoid or conceal detection is illegal, unsafe and will not be tolerated in Illinois. No one, including federal agents, is above the law, and we intend to hold them accountable, especially while driving on our roadways. This is a matter of public safety and protecting the wellbeing of our communities."

Maybe Alexi missed the news over the past few months while counting his share of the bailout money from the Broadway bank collapse (costing taxpayers nearly $400 million) but there's an entire committee of political hacks currently drafting rules, ordinances and laws forbidding Illinois law enforcement from enforcing Compliance Violations. 

No one has to have current stickers, illuminated license plates, or front plates at all, intact windshields or an entire swath of things that the Legislature says are required, but can't be enforced against politically convenient persons.

And then there's the whole Federal Supremacy thing. 

Hire That Felon!

This is from couple months ago, but it's a lawsuit?

• A new class action lawsuit alleges Walmart’s use of criminal background checks to vet former employees of a third-party logistics company had a disparate impact on Black workers.

  Plaintiffs Mark Balentine and Laseant Sardin, who are Black and have criminal records, say they worked for years at a Walmart distribution center in Elwood, Illinois, through a contract with Schneider Logistics.

  In 2019, Walmart ended its contract with Schneider and took over the distribution center, offering jobs to the Schneider employees who reapplied.

  Balentine and Sardin were initially offered positions with Walmart, but those offers were revoked after the company conducted criminal background checks, the Walmart discrimination lawsuit states.

  The plaintiffs say they were not hired because of their criminal records, even though they had been successfully performing the same jobs for years.

Well, it seems obvious that Walmart has different standards for their employees. Walmart has an obligation to it's shareholders to increase the value of the company and one of the ways they do that is eliminating a possible danger to the bottom line. They're not obligated to employ persons who have proven themselves untrustworthy in the past.

Before you know it people will expect the government to force religious bakers to make to conduct business with persons who the bakers think act immorally. 

Courtesy Abused

Way to go Yoyo!

• A couple of weeks ago, a woman approached a firefighter standing in front of a downtown firehouse and asked if she could park in firefighter parking lot which was locked. Firefighter responded no that's just for members working that day.

  Woman responded well I'm the first deputy superintendent for CPD open the the gate. While it should be noted didn't identify herself from start, civilian clothes, civilian car, didn't show badge, or ID.

  Firefighter responded I'm sorry but I don't know you but you can park on the street right there that's reserved for us. She asked if she would get a ticket which the firefighter shrugged his shoulders and said I don't know.

  She rolled her eyes and walked away to high-end restaurant across street and FaceTimed someone ranting while showing firehouse. Within minutes CFD exempts pulled up to firehouse to scold the members.

  We have no problem giving you guys parking when you properly identify yourself with ID, professional courtesy goes both ways.

Yoyo makes $226,872 per year - not counting what she might charge her niece for loaning her the vehicle used to deliver heroin on the west side. And here she is hassling a firefighter, calling CFD supervisors, and wasting their time coming to scold someone who was just making sure CFD property was occupied by CFD personnel.

Conehead Deflects

When caught doing something stupid....or racist....accuse that the other guys of doing what you got caught doing:

• A defiant Mayor Brandon Johnson on Tuesday urged the U.S. Justice Department, which is now investigating his administration’s hiring practices, to launch a similar probe of what he said is the predominantly white administration of President Donald Trump.

  With “only one Black person in his administration” and a U.S. Education secretary in Linda McMahon whose “background is wrestling,” Johnson said it’s clear that Trump is “aligned with the ultra-rich,” and has assembled a “country club” administration dominated by white people at the expense of “marginalized” groups.

The current administration has far more diversity than "one black person." 

But a national administration should be reflective of the nation as a whole, and in that case, representation should be in the neighborhood of 13% black, 19% Hispanic, 6% Asian and 58% white. 

Or you could just hire the most qualified people....that might make sense.

Careening Toward the Cliff

The psychos at the CTU won reelection:

• Members of the Chicago Teachers Union reelected Stacy Davis Gates and her team Friday, continuing the 15-year-run of the leadership group credited with installing the city’s current mayor and for support of beyond-the-classroom social justice issues.

Never mind that kids can't read or do math or be equipped with the most basic skills to survive in an increasingly automated and technical society. 

The CTU wants to insert itself "beyond-the classroom" because they've failed at the most basic tenet of their jobs.

And more than any other union, they're the ones driving everyone into the ditch, over the cliff, ramming the iceberg.
