Let's see what got elected and what kind of reform we can expect these next four years:
Paul Vallas vs Brandon Johnson in April runoff!
Matt O'Shea trounces Cummings!
Beetlejuice has scheduled a press conference to concede!
Muhammad became the most popular boy’s baby name in the Irish city of Galway last year, data published on Friday by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) revealed.
It is the first time the popular Islamic name has topped the list of baby names in an Irish city, and follows the trend of the U.K. and other European nations that have seen the name top the charts in recent years.
Jack and Noah dominated in other Irish counties, while James made up the top three. All three names retain their places in the top three from last year.

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Chicago police and fire departments will go head-to-head for their annual charity hockey game Saturday evening.
The proceeds will benefit Chicago police officer Danny Golden, who was shot and paralyzed last summer while trying to break up a fight at a bar in Beverly. His family will be attending the game.
The puck drops at 6 p.m. at the Morgan Park Sports Center near Western and 115th Street. Tickets are $10.
Ald. Matt O'Shea (19th) will host an after-party at Barraco's in Mt. Greenwood near 111th and Whipple Street.
Government is not perfect but the US governments actions in Ukraine have to be the dumbest in history. Biden has taken his people to the brink of nuclear war. Why? It's almost like his handlers are marching to an anti-American agenda.
Biden's administration is out of control!
Paul Craig Roberts
The main focus of the incompetent Biden Regime is on demonizing and criminalizing white Americans who are not Woke Democrats and on raising tensions with Russia which are already more dangerous than during the Cuban missile crisis. The crazed Victoria Nuland, who Biden stupidly appointed and the Senate confirmed Undersecretary of State, announced that Washington considers Russian installations in Crimea “legitimate targets” and the US government supports Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory.
Yesterday Putin announced that Russia is suspending participation in the last remaining nuclear arms agreement as Washington insists on Russia’s compliance in the absence of its own.
That was a long speech by Russian president Vladimir Putin, at around one hour and 45 minutes. The only real new news line that came out of it was in a section towards the end when Putin said he was suspending Russia’s participation in the New Start treaty with the US.
After accusing the US and Nato of failing to cooperate, he said: “In this regard, I am forced to announce today that Russia is suspending its participation in the strategic offensive arms treaty.”
Putin said that Russia would carry out new nuclear tests if the US did so.
The Morning Briefing: Dems Are Oozing Flop Sweat Over Release of J6 Surveillance Video
BY STEPHEN KRUISER 2:59 AM ON FEBRUARY 21, 2023
this man is too f----- up to lead
The slight shift in the balance of power on Capitol Hill has certainly spiced up a few news cycles since last month. Kevin McCarthy continues to surprise, infuriating the Democrats more than any of us thought that he would. He may get the hang of this yet.
McCarthy’s latest move has them a little jittery because it hits at the heart of the biggest of their lies and false narratives of the last two years: the J6 insurrection that was never an insurrection.

STATEMENT OF PAUL VALLAS
there is no place for discussion of anything
"I wholeheartedly agree with Governor Pritzker
that there is simply no place in Chicago for a
right-wing extremist like Ron DeSantis, and I am
disappointed in FOP leadership for inviting him to
speak to officers. DeSantis' record of trying to
erase the LGBTQ community, banning books on
Black history and much more is not in line with my
values, the values of our community, or the
values of the rank and file police officers who I
believe have no interest in getting swept up in
culture wars and national Republican Party
politics. I want to build trust between all of
Chicago's communities and the police by holding
everyone accountable, because that is the only
way we can make our city safer. This decision by
the FOP leadership makes that job harder."
So according to Pritzker and Vallas, the thoughts that DeSantis puts out, regardless of whether they are good, bad or neutral, cannot be discussed...ever. Furthermore, DeSantis should not be allowed to be physically present in the state of Illinois, because of his thoughts. That is the way these fellas want to handle political discourse. Sort of like Berlin 1935.
I am not necessarily a DeSantis fan but I find this Vallas statement gulling.

Alderman 38th Ward - Chicago
February 15, 2023
38TH WARD ALDERMANIC RACE IS NOT ALL ABOUT "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY"
“Money, money, money, money. Mon-eey.” Those were the lyrics from an O’Jays song “For the Love of Money.” But those words also epitomize and encapsulate 2023’s 38th Ward aldermanic race.
First, who’s got the money (or not)? Second, where are they getting the money? And that includes both pensions and donations. And third, how are they spending the money (or not)?
The candidates are 3-term incumbent Nick Sposato, who has 2 opponents – Ed Bannon and Cynthia Santos – of some consequence and two opponents – Bruce Randazzo and Franco Reyes – of no consequence.
Need longer class days - year round and match pay to student academic performance.
Chuy will be at the Michael P. Joyce Law Office today Saturday. Come out and say hello. Donuts and coffee will be served. Bring the kids.
that's his story and he's sticking to it
At some time prior, Vallas moved out of Palos Heights. Then, Vallas moved from Lincoln Park to Bridgeport in January 2022, using that address to register to vote in March 2022 and to form a new campaign committee, Vallas For Mayor, with the Illinois State Board of Elections in April 2022. Vallas moved to the second floor of a Bridgeport apartment building because it was more convenient for his “work and family,” his campaign spokesperson said.
Between mid-2017 and January 2022, including when Vallas ran for Chicago mayor in 2019, he lived in a Lincoln Park apartment he rented from Tressa Pankovits, an employee and campaign volunteer. Pankovits, who initially answered a request for comment from WTTW News and promised to call back, did not answer subsequent calls and messages.
However, when Vallas contributed $250 to Democrat Alexi Giannoulias’ successful campaign for secretary of state in September, Vallas listed his address as his Palos Heights home, according to records filed with the Illinois State Board of Elections. A spokesperson for Vallas said that was an error and would be corrected.
At the very least, this fact pattern suggest that Vallas needs to be more candid about his past and his future plans, if elected. At the same time, I wonder what other questions are out there.
The balloon escaped on Tuesday morning past, by the Galway Technical Institute, according to Mr. Brendan O'Toole. It was supposed to be tethered for a three day period of observation, at an altitude of 300 meters and somehow was released. The balloon is orange colored with a diameter of 1.5 meters.
Pictured: Biden Admin Hands Out Nonsensical ‘Black Resistance’ Flyers To BORDER PATROL Agents
“This is just another attempt by a federal agency to show how woke it is”
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency
Border Patrol agents reacted with anger after the Biden Administration distributed random flyers titled ‘Black resistance’ and held ‘Diversity and Inclusion’ events while the southern border remains wide open.
The Washington Free Beacon reports that the flyers were disseminated among the Customs and Border Protection Agency, featuring a word cloud of names and phrases including #BlackPower, #BlackLivesMatter, George Floyd, Maxine Waters, and Colin Kaepernick.
The poster also contains generic terms like ‘Jazz’ and ‘Hip Hop’:
The reason given for the flyers is ‘Black History Month’.
One border patrol agent told the Beacon “BLM hates us, so does Maxine Waters,” adding “Kaepernick hates us. They’re anti-police advocates against the nation’s largest police agency.”

In a city with an off the chart murder rate, where you can't safely walk down State Street or Michigan Avenue, where the tax base is crashing, where the municipal pensions are hopelessly underwater, where the schools are shit.....they want to make abortion a major issue in the mayoral election? That's irrational and gives me pause.
Garcia, female supporters attack Vallas as a ‘fake Democrat’ who is an anti-abortion, pro-voucher threat to public school funding
As recent polls show mayoral challenger Paul Vallas surging and U.S. Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia fading, Garcia is pushing an attack against Vallas that Mayor Lori Lightfoot has used for weeks: that Vallas is a “fake Democrat” who is, in reality, an anti-choice Republican and a threat to women’s rights.
