Extreme Liberals are upset that they don't control the US Attorney's office
Is time running out for April Perry to become Chicago’s first female U.S. attorney?
IMAGINE HOW MANY SOLID CRIMINAL CASES WOULD BE DISMISSED. ANYONE LINKED TO THE DEMOCRATIC MACHINE WOULD BE SET FREE.
President Joe Biden nominated Perry in June 2023 to replace former U.S. Attorney John Lausch. But she has since waited eight months to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate, longer than the last eight men to hold the position — with no end in sight.

April Perry was nominated in June 2023 by President Joe Biden to be Chicago’s U.S. attorney.
President Joe Biden’s nominee to become the first female U.S. attorney in Chicago is in increasing danger of falling victim to Washington politics, a year after the city’s top federal prosecutor left office and with the clock running out on Biden’s first term.

Weak case at best. Is this prosecutional misconduct?

Criminal charges have been filed against the former Chicago police officer who got into a confrontation last year with a Black woman who was walking her dog at North Avenue Beach.
Bruce Dyker was charged with aggravated battery and official misconduct.
Dyker, 52, resigned from the department last month before any formal police disciplinary measures could be handed down, Cook County court records show.
His initial court appearance is slated for Thursday.
As seen on video footage from multiple sources, including Dyker’s bodycam and the cellphone of a bystander, Dyker grabbed and briefly detained Nikkita Brown shortly after midnight on Aug. 28 as she walked her French bulldog at North Avenue Beach.
Dyker told Brown the beach was closed and she needed to leave. Brown told Dyker she needed space and felt threatened.
Dyker grabbed Brown and a physical confrontation ensued for more than a minute.
Brown previously told the Chicago Sun-Times she believes the incident was racially motivated and she wanted to see Dyker fired and criminally prosecuted.
“But I don’t think every officer out there is bad. There’s always a bad apple,” Brown said.
“The sergeant who came to my house to take my statement was actually quite pleasant and, in my opinion, did everything to calm me down and that showed me that there are good officers out there.”
Dyker faced disciplinary measures ranging from suspension to termination.
Dyker, who became a Chicago cop in 1998, had 25 complaints against him, including three that were sustained.
The most serious disciplinary measure he faced stemmed from a November 2008 off-duty domestic incident in New Tazewell, Tennessee. Dyker was suspended for 20 days after he allegedly verbally abused and pointed his weapon at a victim and failed to follow lawful police orders.
Since leaving the police department, Dyker has moved to Texas, court records show.
Dyker’s attorney didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
A spokesman for the police spokesman declined comment.
John Catanzara, president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7, characterized the charges as “a race-based attack” led by Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s top deputy, Risa Lanier.
“Bruce’s bodycam was very clear that he had had interactions with other people who followed his lawful direction to leave the beach because it was closed … and they did not challenge him, like this young lady did,” Catanzara told the Sun-Times.
“She should’ve been arrested. He actually cut her slack and gave her a break, and for that Risa Lanier’s trying to put him in jail.”
Brown’s attorney, Mike Gallagher, pointing to video taken from a police surveillance camera, disputed Catanzara.
“The CCTV video shows Nikkita Brown backing up more that 120 feet in compliance with Officer Dyker’s aggressive behavior and repeated threats,” Gallagher said Monday. “Officer Dyker’s attack on her was totally unjustified and a crime, simple as that. Mr. Catanzara’s claim that his criminal charges are a result of reverse racism is ridiculous.””

I find it hard to believe that Dr. Biden would tolerate this
Inside Jill Biden’s ‘abusive office that’s like the Devil Wears Prada’ as it’s claimed workers are ‘berated’
ONE of Jill Biden’s top aides has been accused of “berating” other staffers and creating an abusive office environment like The Devil Wears Prada, according to reports.

Obama Birthday Bash to Smash All Known Woke Values
Update:
The New York Times reports:
“Due to the new spread of the Delta variant over the past week, the President and Mrs. Obama have decided to significantly scale back the event to include only family and close friends,” Hannah Hankins, a spokeswoman for the former president, said in a statement Wednesday morning. “He’s appreciative of others sending their birthday wishes from afar and looks forward to seeing people soon.”
The Delta variant is not news. But the cascade of criticism the Obamas experienced is news.
Forget about the violation of Covid protocols — those are a passing fancy on the left. Barack Obama's sixtieth birthday bash this coming weekend threatens to violate just about every progressive virtue the Obamas and their woke pals have ever signaled.
Officially, Obama's birthday falls on August 4. As I will explain, that may not be the real

Forever
Pursuing perpetual power by means of a permanent pandemic
Former Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel once infamously quipped, "Never let a crisis go to waste." A corollary to that liberal proverb also cherished by Democrats is "Never let go of a crisis." After decades of doomsday declarations that have not materialized, Democrats are still screaming climate change will destroy the planet in just a few short years. Despite living in the most racially diverse nation on earth, with the most widely distributed prosperity and institutional equality under the law, Democrats are constantly scolding us that systemic racism requires us to dismantle capitalism and our Constitutional Republic before our society's imminent collapse from bigotry. But now Democrats may have found the ultimate crisis—one that potentially affects every American, so it's hard to ignore when it's in your face non-stop.
Americans haven't noticed any historical aberrations in catastrophic weather events or seen any cities
