MUST-SEE: Chicago residents TORCH woke mayor for migrant crisis



Chicago residents are finally fed up with Democratic leadership and are signaling a shift as frustration over crime and the migrant crisis boils over.

“You are so strong about protecting those aliens, but you won’t do nothing for the U.S. citizens,” a Chicago resident said in a fiery speech at a city council meeting.

“We are the ones who pay your salaries. Let me accentuate on that. But yet, you want to overlook us like we don’t exist. Well, you’re not going to exist for the next election, because there’s a 10-year prison sentence when you want to stand up here for those illegals,” she continued.

“That’s interesting,” Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed” comments.

But she wasn’t the only resident standing up to the Democrats that run the city.


“Trump, Tom Homan, make an example out of this negro right here first,” fitness trainer and Chicago resident Danielle Carter-Williams said at the city council meeting, aiming her comment at Mayor Brandon Johnson.

“You all stood up there and said, you will not allow Trump to come in here and get these illegals. Yeah, you can smile. We’re in a billion-dollar deficit, and you spent half of our money, half of that, on illegals. You campaign, you campaign, and doubled down that you would not raise property taxes,” she continued.

“And here we are right now. You wanted to raise our taxes $300 million. They shut it down. OK, now we back here for $150 million,” Carter-Williams said, refusing to back down. “You said you were going to take Trump to court to protect these illegals.”

“Flip Chicago red,” she added, before leaving the podium.

Jon Stewart officially a ‘wokester’— left out KEY details on crime in Democrat-run cities



Jon Stewart was once what people might call a “liberal.” Now, he’s just like all the others who abandoned their integrity to go off the “woke” deep end.

“He’s no longer a liberal, he is just sort of a ‘wokester,’” Dave Rubin says, before showing a clip of Stewart attempting to debunk the GOP’s city crime narrative.

“It’s the dang Democrat-encouraged crime. It’s one of the right’s favorite talking points, not just from Milwaukee but for all Democratic run cities,” Stewart mocked. “Those cities are crime-infested holes where life is miserable and everyone hates everybody.”

“By the way, it does turn out that crime is actually down,” he continued, before referencing a clip of Lester Holt claiming that the FBI reported the nation’s violent crime rate has dropped dramatically this year.

“It’s all a misunderstanding; but now that the FBI numbers are out, I’m sure that the right-wing media will adjust accordingly,” Stewart mocked again, sharing a clip of a Fox News host saying that cities still have a poor quality of life while a video of a car doing donuts plays in the background.

“He’s making the reverse point of the point he’s trying to make. He’s showing, ‘Oh these guys are doing double donuts.’ Yes, it’s illegal and people can be killed,” Rubin comments.

But that’s not all.

The reason Stewart is able to regurgitate those FBI numbers is because a large portion of crime is never reported to the FBI in the first place.

According to a report by the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, 37% of police departments stopped reporting crime data to the FBI, including large departments for Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York.

For other jurisdictions like Baltimore and Nashville, crimes are being underreported or undercounted.

“So, again, we can all argue about the percentages and everything else, but we simply know that in Republican-run cities you cannot run into a CVS and steal all of the stuff,” Rubin says.

Liberal cities DESTROYED by WOKE policies



Walmart recently announced the closure of four Chicago stores that became effective on April 16. Why?

Because people in those areas have been stealing an alarming amount of stuff off the shelves. However, some don’t see it that way.

One shopper has implied that the closures are perhaps due to Walmart not wanting to “serve black and brown communities because of racism,” while outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has alleged that it’s because of “retailers that won’t institute plans like having security officers in their stores” and “making sure that they’ve got cameras that are actually operational.”

Lauren Chen of "Pseudo-Intellectual" has a different opinion.

She says, “It’s not racism that’s causing Walmart to close, and it’s not Walmart’s lack of security either that’s at fault here. It is squarely the fault of the politicians who’ve essentially made it impossible for stores to thrive because they refuse to punish criminals.”

She adds that it “seems like every other day social media is flooded with videos of people in some big Democrat city,” looting their local Walmarts or Targets as if they’re “an all-you-can-steal buffet.”

Large retailers like Walmart depend on a high volume of goods being sold because their margins are so low — which leaves them uniquely vulnerable to theft.

Chen hammers home her point: that it’s not directly the fault of the people or the retailer, but of the politicians and community leaders who refuse to prosecute criminals.

Chen says that the “neighborhoods in Chicago are essentially lawless hellholes, where people steal whatever they want — absolutely no fear for repercussions — and instead of trying to address this issue of crime, these community leaders in Chicago instead are just mad at Walmart.”

Teens attack woman in Chicago: The new Gotham City



Over the weekend, a mob of black youths took to the streets in Chicago to terrorize the residents of the city.

The youths called it a “teen takeover,” and a group of them were caught on video swarming and then beating a young white woman for no apparent reason.

Keith Malinak of "Pat Gray Unleashed" says it's the “third world-ification of America,” and it's happening right before our eyes.

He compares it to "Grand Theft Auto," saying that it’s “literally all that these big cities are anymore.”

Despite the video evidence depicting clear footage of the attack, no arrests have been made.

Malinak points out that the mayor-elect, Brandon Johnson, or as he calls him, “the guy in Chicago replacing Beetlejuice,” had a less than appropriate response.

Johnson’s response went as follows: “It is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their communities. Our city must work together to create spaces for youth to gather safely and responsibly ... under adult guidance and supervision to ensure that every part of our city remains welcome for both residents and visitors.”

“Chicago, you’re screwed, and you’re not coming back,” Malinak responds.

Gray adds his two cents.

“People are sick and tired of crime, and they’re sick and tired of Democrats not doing anything about it — in fact doing the opposite. And that’s letting criminals get back on the street and commit crime again.”

Biden Reportedly Hesitant To Endorse In Chicago Mayoral Race

President Biden is apparently skittish about throwing his support behind a candidate in the Chicago mayoral race.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot tells LBGTQ community the 'Supreme Court is coming for us next,' urges 'call to arms' — and gets blasted for 'inciting violence'



Far-left Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot told her fellow LBGTQ community members that the "Supreme Court is coming for us next" and urged a "call to arms" in response to last week's leaked SCOTUS decision that would overturn Roe v. Wade, a ruling that legalized abortion in the United States in 1973.

What are the details?

Lightfoot made her feelings known Monday night on Twitter:

To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community\u2014the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms.
— Lori Lightfoot (@Lori Lightfoot) 1652147817

"To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community — the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms," the Democrat tweeted, before adding a post that reads: "We will not surrender our rights without a fight — a fight to victory!"

What was the reaction?

Besides the fact that Lightfoot's initial tweet was getting massively ratioed as of Tuesday morning — over 21,000 comments compared to just over 2,900 likes — a number of notable figures ripped Lightfoot for her words and said she's encouraging violence:

  • Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado tweeted that "while people are being slain in [Lightfoot's] streets on a daily basis, all she can worry about is endangering more lives with her reckless words. Shame on her. She should resign."
  • Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas simply tweeted a "#DemMobViolence" hashtag in response to Lightfoot's "call to arms" statement.
  • Republican U.S. Senate candidate and conservative commentator Kathy Barnette tweeted, "Shame on Lori Lightfoot! Issuing a 'call to arms' to millions is nothing short of a terroristic threat. For a woman with so much blood on her hands due to the gun violence she allows in Chicago, she’s going to cause even more death. Issuing terroristic threats is a crime!"
  • The research arm of the Republican National Committee wondered, "Is Democrat Lori Lightfoot calling for violence?"

Others used the left's infamous post-Jan. 6 rhetoric while ripping Lightfoot:

  • Conservative political commentator Rob Maness declared that Lightfoot's tweets are "words of a seditionist inciting violence against the Federal Judiciary branch of the government."
  • TheBlaze's Dave Rubin called Lightfoot a "crazy psycho insurrectionist" while TheBlaze's Jessica O'Donnell told the mayor "this sounds a lot like incitement."
  • "The same people who want to sentence grandmas to death for waving the American flag in the Capitol on 1/6 have no problem with Lori Lightfoot literally calling for violence over a problem that doesn’t exist," TheBlaze's Sara Gonzales tweeted. "They don’t actually care about any of it."
  • Conservative comedian Tim Young wrote that Lightfoot's posts are "worse than anything Democrats screech about Trump saying on January 6. Lightfoot is attempting to incite violence."

The hypocrisy of it all was too much for some:
