Beetlejuice insults her police again
Catanzara blasts Beetlejuice over comments about officers’ ‘incredible amount’ of time off
The mayor contends the amount of “respite baked into” the police contract makes Catanzara’s “narrative” about cops being worked “like mules” false.

Election Result
Two people reared in the 19th Ward of Chicago, fought it out for a seat on the Cook County Board. When it was over, incumbent Sean Morrison easily defeated Liz Gorman in the republican primary. The race was remarkable for the amount of mud slung.

See the Beetlejuice version of Chicago
And where is Beetlejuice? Sleeping it off.
She should get on the emergency PA system and tell these children either they go home now or else she is going to have them arrested (just like she threatened the people walking in the park during covid).
What about imposing a 9 pm curfew and enforcing it with some arrest?
Where are the aldermen when you need them? They should grab some reporter and start pontificating. Why be silent? This is your city being destroyed. How much longer can this go on? How long can Chicago survive with this type of incompetent leadership?

What is this mayor doing about crime and rotten public schools?
Lightfoot tells those worried about getting abortions after Supreme Court ruling: ‘Come to Chicago.’
Experts predict about 20,000 more people will come to Illinois for access to abortion care as a result of Friday’s ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot had a simple message for those worried about their access to abortions after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on Friday.
“Come to Chicago,” Lightfoot said during a news conference with Planned Parenthood and other groups that help provide abortions.
“We will protect you, we will make sure that your rights are respected,” she continued, hours after the expected ruling was finally handed down. “We will make sure that you get access to the health care you deserve.”
The court ruling is likely to result in abortion bans in half of the states, including those that neighbor Illinois. Illinois and Minnesota may be the only upper Midwestern states to see no change in abortion access.
“We’re here, not only to voice our opposition and our outrage to the Supreme Court’s decision, but to reassure our brothers and sisters all across the country that Chicago and Illinois will remain a safe haven for all who value justice,” Lightfoot said.

Cook County rescued popular restaurant from tax sale, then hosted an event there. How about that for in-your-face contempt?
The Cook County Land Bank Authority is barred from putting in a claim on occupied property, but it did so for Josephine’s Cooking and held onto it as the restaurant kept operating and its unpaid taxes kept piling up.

Chicago police are no longer allowed to chase people on foot just for running away
Officers won’t be allowed to chase people on foot if they suspect them of minor offenses such as parking violations, driving on suspended licenses or drinking alcohol in public.

CHICAGO — Chicago police officers will no longer be allowed to chase people on foot simply because they run away or give chase over minor offenses, the department said Tuesday, more than a year after two foot pursuits ended with officers fatally shooting a 13-year-old boy and 22-year-old man.
Brit general could get his country nuked...needs to cool the rhetoric
Britain must be ready to fight Russia in World War 3, new Army chief warns
The country's top general is preparing for the possibility of hostilities even though the number of soldiers at his disposal is at the lowest for 300 years due to cutbacks

Britain's new Army commander has told the nation's soldiers they must be ready to fight in a potential World War Three.
The country's top general, Sir Patrick Sanders, has promised to put together a military force that can defeat Russia following their invasion of Ukraine.
Gen Sanders only assumed his new role on Monday but, in a message to his troops that conjured up a chilling reminder of World War Two, he wrote: "We are the generation that must prepare the Army to fight in Europe once again. There is now a burning imperative to forge an Army capable of fighting alongside our allies and defeating Russia in battle."

As Chief of the General Staff, though, Gen Sanders is now in charge of the smallest British army since the early 18th century with Government cuts having reduced its size to 73,000 soldiers.
Even though Prime Minister Boris Johnson pledged "not to cut our armed forces in any form" back in 2019, the army is also losing 800 armoured vehicles and 80 tanks.
But Gen Sanders - the former Rifles commander - understands the gravity and purpose of his new position and the situation in Ukraine, adding: "I am the first Chief of the General Staff since 1941 to take command of the Army in the shadow of a land war in Europe involving a continental power. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine underlines our core purpose - to protect the UK by being ready to fight and win wars on land."

Is Lithuania on the verge of dragging NATO into Ukraine war? Moscow warns it will 'take actions' after alliance member blocks trains carrying goods to Russia's Kaliningrad territory. Better hang on to your hat!
- Lithuania blocked goods sanctioned by the EU from reaching Kaliningrad
- Russia accused the NATO state of being 'openly hostile' and provoking Moscow
- Kremlin loyalists claim it is an act of 'direct aggression against Russia'
The Kremlin has threatened Lithuania after EU-sanctioned goods were blocked from reaching the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, fuelling fears of NATO being dragged into the war.
Moscow warned of 'very tough actions' against the Western security alliance member after deliveries of coal, metals, construction materials and advanced technology were stopped from entering the Russian territory.
The Lithuanian chargé d'affaires in Moscow was told that unless cargo transit was resumed in the near future, Russia reserves the right to act to protect its national interests.
