Who is the Problem?

So Groot got her budget passed the other day. Some sharp eyed readers pointed this out:

  • Groot shaved $34 million from the CPD budget - a soft defunding by closing out 618 vacancies she had no intention of filling.

One of the readers remember this from October 2020:

  • Chicago Public Schools enrollment plummeted by 15,000 students this fall compared to last year, the largest single-year drop in more than two decades, according to records released by the school system Friday.

    Officials called the decrease from 355,000 students to 340,000 — a 4% drop — a “crisis” that was largely driven by a significant decline in new families enrolling in preschool programs and elementary schools.

Anyone want to guess how much the CPS budget went up this fiscal year?

  • $67 million

Figure that one out.

And the CPS owes $12,000,000,000+ in debt to bond holders at about 6.5%. Wait till that butchers bill comes due. The race to get out of town is on before they send out a special tax assessment to pay that chunk of shit off. All derived from waste, graft, and corruption. Oh the chicago way. And yes that’s 12 billion usd owed.

At least you can default on a bond and hopefully not a pension obligation.

That’s why DR death Emanuel wanted to float bonds to fund the pensions.

Like taking out a home equity loan to pay off your student loans then skipping out on the mortgage.


All the while dude is slaughtering dude to the tune of almost 800 HOMICIDE’s.

Crazy days people. Wonder how it all ends.

And lastly, the CPS have the #2 budget in the state of Illinois. Second only to The State of Illinois. Chicago is third. At least it used to be.

CPS should have it's budget cut because it cannot be justified. They have too many exempts in administrator roles that need off the public dole. CPD has been fighting Bill Ayers' terrorists and providing improper personal services to Groot, babysitting her street with an extraordinary detail of police who should be on the streets.

How dare anyone question the funding for education. Remember, it’s all about the children. Less children mean smaller class sizes; thereby allowing teachers to spend more time with students. The results of increased one on one learning will ultimately turn around decades of 60% or less graduation rates. Naaa, the funding increase has nothing to do with the children or increasing the graduation rate. The real reason is payback for teacher support during the election. It’s the Chicago Way.

CPS should be paying at least 6-7% on their pension instead of the current 2% so the increase can help close their current pension gap. But during contract negotiations the mere mention of increasing their pension contributions caused severe reactions and threats of a strike because they called it "a forced reduction of their pay". Since when is asking a city
union employee to contribute their fair share in pension contribution a pay reduction?
Police and Fire employees pay a mandatory 9% from their pay and all the teachers were asked was to pay more than the pitiful 2% they currently pay. It is an outrage that they don't pay at least 6%. They pay so little then DEMAND and GET SO MUCH. THIS last contract they got a 16% raise plus a $67 million budget increase which is UNHEARD OF.

If you need any more evidence about the election being rigged, here you go. Code Monkey (twitter) just released a video of a Dominion employee (no doubt from the company) manipulating votes from the machine and removing the usb going to a laptop, adjusting the votes, etc.,

Hard evidence. Video. MSM? Fake news, anything can be made up. Spread the news, save the video, share the video, stand up in any way you can.

Watch a Dominion Representative at Gwinnett County Election Central, responsible for tabulating ballots and certifying results, download data to a USB from the Election Management Server, plug it into a laptop, manipulate the data, then palm the USB.

There should be a new path taken in public education in Chicago. Now that the teachers love remote teaching, give them more of it. No need for a history or social studies teacher in every school. Use remote teaching even when the kids return to the classroom; just put a aid in the room to keep order and broadcast the class on a large screen to multiple classes at once. Imagine how many teachers can be eliminated with this program?

The police pensions were stolen by government. When mayor Daley's son intentionally used our pension money and bought high in a fund owned by his friends, the money was lost when the fund collapsed. The City of Chicago is responsible for this. If the current mayor does not fill the 1000+ police vacancies, then the City of Chicago is responsible again for depriving those pension obligations. One day they will say there is no pension since they stole the money from the police pension fund and allocated it to useless schemes that gave the same City of Chicago machine kickbacks. Where is the IG? Where is the money? They need to freeze the assets of all those involved. To add fuel to the fire they are trying to take more away from our contracts. Has anybody noticed that we are murder capital? Has there been rioting? A plague? Why so much hate? Then they hire all these watch dog groups to monitor depoliced patrol. I demand to change our pension to a federal pension. 20 and out 80% at 50 with a comparable GS level. It'sctime to act now. We need to come together at a huge FOP meeting. We need to all contribute $500 a piece and get the best attorneys out there. Do not be cheap. Pay $500 now save your retirement and your earned contract.

2021 Appropriations for CPD dropped/chopped/cut by a total of $59 million (Pg.123) CFD sees an $60 million jump/hike/boost (Pg.127).

S&S sees $10 million more and another oddity is that the Water Commissioners Office gets a $10 mil bump (community block grant] - and there’s still miles of lead pipe yet to be replaced.
More fun stuff...
Under the S&S budget, Rodent Control is appropriated $12.9 million, where Recycling Program gets $28 million with half the full time employees (Pg.99).
Public Safety Administration Office (New) rockets from $30 mill to $135 million with 59 less full time employees.

Wait there’s more...
Budgeted personnel allocations for Detectives is 510 employees @ $50 million.
But for the Bureau of Constitutional Policing its 666 employees @ $183 million.

The Communist Teachers Union or CTU is in bed with the commies here who call themselves progressive. They continue to vote for the democommies because they are direct beneficiaries of these oppressive taxes. Some live in the city, while most do not. Either way, they are able to offset the cost of living expenses by way of the their insane pay raises. Meanwhile, they further the marxist agenda by indoctrinating the next generation of limousine liberals and SJW who are the right arm of the dems. They hold the children hostage until they get what they want, all under the "its for the children" narrative. Academia has a symbiotic relationship with communism. They preach it because it sounds good; they teach it because they need future generations to believe it is good. They are immune from the real-world effects of it because the very nature of their career is dependent on a no-competition, government funded bureaucracy that feeds itself off the taxpayers.

If you still don't believe there was across the board fraud in this election, watch the Michigan hearings today. No Trump lawyers, just regular people giving their testimony. Any rational person will have no doubt this election was rigged in Michigan and probably the whole country. Listen to the women who presented, one was an immigrant and the other was under contract as an IT professional for Dominion. The immigrant, who Dems assumed was a Democrat, was allowed to observe while anyone that was a republican was kicked out or harrassed. There is spectulation that BLM was hired to harass republican pol workers. The IT blew them out of the water with credible testimony.

Now word is out that Dominion was bought for 400 million dollars in October 2019 and also paid 200 million in 2014 as part owner and now they own 75 percent. Documents are available on line and they look legit.

Now China has influenced elections around the world and the world should all be pointing the finger at China. All these politicans who have been mute throughout this process, should be investigated.

I bet you will see a lot more politicians trying to stay in front of it and portray themselves as a patriot. The Swamp is about to be drained. Trump Promise kept.

The Chicago Public System had 650,000 students enrolled back in the 70’s and 80’s when I attended. Today CPS has 300,000 fewer students but they raise the schools portion of your property taxes the max allowable by law every time. This is a prime example how bureaucrats spend every penny of their budget for fear that their budgets would get cut the following year. Today’s CPS budget is around 8 billion dollars, how much would it be if they still had 650,000 students? The waste and corruption in this city, county and state has to stop. The voters need to smarten up by ending the Democrat’s stranglehold in this state.

CPS should be paying at least 6-7% on their pension instead of the current 2% so the increase can help close their current pension gap. But during contract negotiations the mere mention of increasing their pension contributions caused severe reactions and threats of a strike because they called it "a forced reduction of their pay". Since when is asking a city
union employee to contribute their fair share in pension contribution a pay reduction?
Police and Fire employees pay a mandatory 9% from their pay and all the teachers were asked was to pay more than the pitiful 2% they currently pay. It is an outrage that they don't pay at least 6%. They pay so little then DEMAND and GET SO MUCH. THIS last contract they got a 16% raise plus a $67 million budget increase which is UNHEARD OF.


It is common practice to for employees to "pickup" some employee pension costs. Joliet does this for all ranks up to captain, capped at 9.6 or something percent, about the out of pocket costs of a an officer with 15-years in grade two.

Groot the little Piggy is getting even with the police because she can. It makes her feel big and important. She needs to feel big and important because she's small in stature, narrow minded, biased, plain looking, butt of jokes, is a impersonator and just an insignificant person. That's been her whole life. The ass end of jokesters. She has always been the Massillon Midget. Hence the manly look, cheap suits, cigars and tough talk. She's got to stand out. Her fuckery knows no boundary. Find someone or thing to control and punish them for her perceived life long injustices heaped upon this midget mutt.

So it is that Groot is the people's choice - the Free Shit Army. Nothing should interfere between Groot and the people, not even 720+ murders and over 3900 shootings, the city twice sacked, looted and burned. Crushing taxes, bankruptcy economic ruin, residents fleeing the city, graft, corruption, favoritism of CPS & CTU, and cronyism. Pissing away tax payer money on Sanctuary City and no bid contracts. Let's defund the police. That's why she is the people's choice.

Groot, filled with hate and thirsty for revenge, continues to punish the police. The people's choice is looking the other way as 720+ of the "peoples" assume room temperature and it's all good. The Massillon Midget and the Free Shit Army are ok being hunted down by the people's killers. Do nothing but the basics and let it all sort itself out. Remember Groot is the people's choice and they all want to defund the police.

OT-

He comes limping INTO office.

See, I'm not THAT lame! Joe Biden shows off surgical boot and says he's feeling 'good' after fracturing his foot playing with his German Shepherd Major

I remember how the media went after Gerald Ford for stumbling on the jet stairs and kept playing that 2 1/2 second clip for YEARS every time Ford's name came up in any context.

When Mike Dukakis was campaigning, he got a brief ride in a tank. Stood up in the commander's hatch and put the helmet on - that's where the intercom is so crew can communicate over noise.

Message was "Dukakis supports strong US defense."

They never let go of those two seconds of film either.

...so in Biden's case, I declare open season.

I can not do this job much longer. It’s the same thing everyday. The jobs are at the same addresses, same people, same problems.I sit in the car, I can predict the jobs that come over the radio, it’s always the same. I can’t wait to retire.
Today I walked into the same shithole, the same screaming,the same never ending problem, another of the endless stream of boyfriends- with the same results, a child born out of wedlock destined for a tough life due to moron parents. As the roaches crawled on the filthy floor, the stink of this shithole turned my stomach- I had to run out and vomit. This woman called the police, why she came home from God knows where, she is in her late 30’s and has NEVER had a job, yet has an apartment , cell phone, and kids , all paid for by others, yet can’t won’t manage her life, to see her latest sperm machine mating on filthy sheets, in a filthy shithole, with another breeder, all while the poor kids are sitting on the filthy shit smeared living room sofa. Yet somehow she calls strangers to adjudicate her life. Somehow it’s the fault of the police, my fault she can not manage her lifelong failure.
I walked back in, I told her I don’t care. I can’t do the same song and dance yet another time,what is this the 50 th time I’ve been here for the same problem? It was time for her to figure it out, I just could not listen to the same old nonsense, in the same hovel, from the same old dolt.

I called the retirement section from the car. The hell with it, I have had enough. Our new house is ready, why am I doing this ? No one gives a shit, why should I. The same morons had the same life issues when I was a rookie, they have the exact same problems all these years latter.
The best description of a police career was the following” kid , you will spend 20,30,40 years shoveling the same shit, from the same people, and in the end all your career will add up too nothing. Just a lifetime of other people’s shit. Get out before you are buried by it”.

So, CPS has had a decline of students number in 15,000. Every student in CPS is worth $12,000. $12,000 * 15000 students equals 180 million dollars!

So, again, why does the Chicago Teachers Union continue to get more money thrown at them while police continue to get berated and softly defunded?

Exactly, and the fact that the CTU has tons of money through dues collections and passes it on to our elected officials and of course, the old standby saying that tugs at the hearts of liberals, " It is for the Children"> The state could easily take away the right to strike for all teachers and let their case go to arbitration, but Springfield is loaded with cowards and the school administration is loaded with patronage and contracts.

And now with the Biden's in the White HOuse, the state of education in this country will undergo a radical change. Biden is totally against charter schools and private schools getting any help at all. His wife will see to that as will the new Cabinet member for the Education Department, who is a former head of the teacher's union. There will be a concerted effort to end charter schools nationwide and give unions in every field more power. They will also bring back the kangaroo courts in the universities that have ruined so many lives.

I came on in 1969, post Convention. The city wanted college educated officers to be trained in a more modern way, including defensive tactics and become a more effective pro-active department. That lasted for several years and we had a very cooperative States Attorney's Office and somewhat fair judges, not like the Foxx and Evans show of today. I guess that is what kept the working coppers active and involved. Politics were always part of the bullshit. If you didn't get involved, the job was better, You only had to fight a bad boss. The officer whom I copied, has been betrayed, just like the rest of us.

After 28 years of Vaudeville, the pension checks began to arrive. Not as large as the normal checks and certainly no overtime checks (hazard pay) but a bit of a payback for the hours spent and marriages broken and your kids that didn't have a father around for games or plays or what ever activities because you were sitting on a bus waiting for something to happen on what was your regular days off. Over reaching at that time as it is now.

When one comes on the department you choose between being a good spouse, husband/wife or copper. I guess many, in my time, chose the latter. Let me tell you the pension checks do not compensate for the lost time with family & friends. You paid 9% from day one and now must pray that it will last until your spouse dies. After an entire career, we thought we did some good/great things, but in reality, we were an armed occupational force. Similar to those troops left in Germany and Japan after WWII.

As a voting block, you are a non-factor and the pols know it. So your demands fall on deaf ears regardless of the pols tell you to your face. Sadly, those of you who want to make a difference, the community you serve will not step forward to show support. The Alder-creatures say nice things to get your votes, but holding you in the respect you have earned and deserved, not so much. You have been betrayed, just like the officer I quoted above. Good luck to you and any others (who get full) who leave now and are able to find another vocation. As an old Area 4 Sgt. said: "The handwrittin' is in the Hall".

To the trolls out there, are you not even curious about the election fraud going on in this country that the MSM is not covering. It is exploding but you need to at least be curious to go beyond the force field of information instilled by MSM.

Watch any of the hearing in Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin. These are brave everyday people risking their lives to the mob because they believe we should have a free and fair election. Wake up before it is too late. Biden is going to do nothing for you, look his recent hires, nothing to do with diversity. It is his cronies from the swamp and they could give a shit about you.

Go to gatewaypundit or revolver if you dare. MSM is a lie, and if you want your head to explore more check out Project Veritas to hear it from the President of Fox News about the lies he tells his editors on Zoom calls. He secretly recorded them for months, straight from the head of the network. But you won't.
