Attention Chicago Police / Fire Retirees........They say Financial Condition is Deteriorating

Amateurs are running the Chicago Police and Fire Pensions into the ground for Retirees, Disabled First Responders, and Widows/Widowers and Children

Retired CPD Chief of Detectives

Those of you who follow me on this and other social media platforms know that one of my largest concerns is the financial health of the Chicago Police (CPD) and Chicago Firefighters (CFD) Pension Funds. The CPD Fund is funded at a critically low level of 22% while the CFD Fund is in even worse shape at a disasterously low level of 18%.

Yet those of us who point out the critically low funding levels of the two funds are painted as the villains in this ongoing rush to financial disaster, rather than those who continue to wring their hands and stick their heads in the sand regarding the critically low funding levels, while claiming that Springfield is mandated to save the two pensions and will do so. We all know the fallacy of that claim.

I recently came across a recent article by @EdwardSiedle, a nationally recognized expert in the field of the mismanagement of Public Pension Funds. It's a lengthy article, but I've condensed it into a number of bullet points, found below.

More Proof that Cardinal Cupich is a Heretic

 

Keep this video in mind when Cupich has his hand out. 

He plans to use the money to buy more influence in Rome. His priority......to push the agenda of James Martin. He could give a rat's ass about anything else. Pray that Pope Leo decides to retire him. 

 

These people sit around and think. Sometimes you need to consider what they come up with.

New Air Force One Arrives at Joint Base Andrews

By Bob Unruh, WND • Jun. 19, 2026

A Boeing 747-8 has arrived to serve as Air Force One for the resident of the White House.

The $400 million luxury jet is a gift from the Qatari government last year, and underwent renovations to provide the services a president might need.

President Donald Trump was on hand at Joint Base Andrews, the military base that has served as a president’s airport, and said, “There will never be one like this. This is very unique. This is considered the world’s most luxurious plane. When it was built, it was built at a level that will probably never be seen again.”

 Hunter Biden challenges Don Jr. to a cage fight in post slamming 'offensive' UFC 250 event

Hunter Biden wrote an open letter to Joe Rogan, whch he shared on X, and at the end of the letter he included a "P.S." inviting Rogan to suggest a venue where he and Don Jr. can fight it out.

Hunter Biden has delivered a scathing assessment of the UFC White House event after being left incensed by Joe Rogan's blunt "shut the f--- up" message directed at critics.

Biden, 56, took to social media with an extensive letter laying out precisely why he and others were outraged by the event, primarily due to its location rather than the participants or content involved. He also suggested that he and Don Jr. fight it out, just not on the South Lawn of the White House, asking Rogan to pick the venue.

In a post script, he wrote: "P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn."
