As Summer Shooting Season Commences in Chicago, Mayor Lori Lightfoot Picks a Fight with Police
[PJ] One sometimes hears of politicians enjoying a "honeymoon" period in the early days after taking office. During these honeymoons, political differences are for the moment put aside so the newly installed officeholder can put his administration in place unperturbed by petty squabbles. In Chicago, where Mayor Lori Lightfoot was elected in April and sworn in on May 20, the honeymoon is already over.

Regular readers will recall I have a special fondness for Chicago, where I first visited more than 30 years ago and made friendships that have lasted to this day. So it saddens me to watch from afar as the city’s reputation for culture, architecture, and professional sports is overshadowed by its reputation for corruption and crime. To cite just one of the latest examples of corruption, Alderman Ed Burke, who has served on the city council for 50 years, is facing federal racketeering and bribery charges after being secretly recorded by Alderman Daniel Solis, who, facing corruption allegations of his own, cooperated with the FBI and wore a wire for at least two years during meetings with Burke and other city officials.

#1 The blogger Paul Kersey refers to what's happening as the arrival of black-run America. The gist is black politicians think everything will be just fine if black criminals are left to their own devices without interference from law enforcement. This obviously has implications for anyone who isn't interested in being the victim of a black criminal.
