[PJ] Chicago’s woke mayor knows who is to blame for the recent looting of high-end stores. It’s the stores, DUH!
How do we know she believes something so stupid? She said so, publicly!
I’m disappointed that they’re not doing more to take safety and make it a priority. For example, we still have retailers that won’t institute plans like having security officers in their stores, making sure that they’ve got cameras that are actually operational, locking up their merchandise at night, chaining high-end bags. These purses can be something that is attracting a lot of organized retail theft units,"
Nevermind that she and her state’s attorney, Kim Foxx, all but allow shoplifting without punishment for anyone stealing less than $1,000 worth of swag. Now she’s cranky that stores aren’t investing more money in security.
What would happen if a white security guard tackled a black woman leaving with 12 handbags? I smell a charge of racism!
The nation has seen organized swarms of shoplifters handbag redistribution specialists wreaking havoc in high-end stores, frequently striking in droves, armed with hammers, and taking whatever they can carry. Suddenly, the looters—oops that word is racist—thugs don’t seem too concerned with staying under the $1,000 threshold.
Louis Vuitton is a major target for the criminals; thieves recently made off with roughly $100,000 from a Chicago-area store. Their San Francisco store was hit as well. San Francisco’s Union Square, the swanky shopping district that has been hit hard by looters lately, is now a boarded-up ghost town. Merry Christmas!

The only reason retail stores spend any money on security is to give law abiding paying customers the false sense of security to shop again. The paid security does nothing except call 911 and then get ignored by the local tax paying security known as LEOs, district attorneys, Bureaucrats, politicians….

Does she mean a Judge Dredd dystopia where the store is an automat with product showcased behind lift up doors (Look, Don't Touch!) and automatic machine guns in the ceiling? That kind of "security"...?
#5
On a serious note (and the mayor is not being serious) what will the private security do? Can they achieve anything without fear of lawsuits if the police won't do anything?

Guy who said he has family N. IL says this is rampant, people getting shot for not cooperating, only the stuff unable to be buried kinda, sort of, makes a mention in the news.
Absolute hearsay, but...seems to be a lot of tertiary evidence.

And now the fahkin' 111 over the fahkin' Tobin? Kinda scared to look at the rest of it (this has been one of those "simulation software taking the day off" days).
[Federalist] The event, titled "An Evening with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi," took place on Sept. 21 at the state-run university. Kendi raked in $40,000 gross, plus an additional $3,500 stipend for travel, flights, and meals — or about $207 per minute. The agreement was with Penguin Random House Speakers Bureau, a subsidiary of the publisher behind several of Kendi’s critical race theory (CRT) manifestos.

As long as the Dems keep the gravy train rolling (federal student loans) the "Universities" will indoctrinate young people with any garbage they want.
[Breitbart] A member of the board of directors of the National Education Association (NEA) posted a message to Facebook that denounced unvaccinated individuals who claim religious exemptions and asserted they deserved to die, according to the Libs of Tik Tok social media account, which shared a screenshot of the post on Tuesday.
Mollie Paige Mumau, a Pennsylvania teacher and member of the board of directors of the NEA, appears to identify herself as an "educator, wife, union advocate, semi-pro wine drinker, LGBTQ ally, and ’Team Pfizer.’"
I hope, someday, there will be a reckoning for pissants like Mumau.
Still unVax'ed just following normal Flu season precautions.
Yes We have had 5 extended family test positive. 3 of the VAX'd still got it (mild cases) , One was hospitalized (3 weeks) had had the Vax about a month prior.
But IF it is so safe. Then why did the US-FDA sealed the VAX test and etc data for multiple generations and the FED give VAX makers blanket immunity?
Does mRNA deliver other results for later generations? eg. "Normally, at this stage, the CDC [Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices] would have performed those risk-benefit analyses."
[Epoch Times] Fauci: Definition of Fully Vaccinated Will Be Changed
The definition of fully vaccinated in the United States will be changed, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday. "It’s going to be a matter of when, not if," Fauci, said during an appearance on CNN.
The definition is used by authorities imposing vaccine mandates across the country, including the federal mandates against healthcare workers and government contractors. Several of those mandates have been blocked in courts for now due to worries they’re illegal.
Fauci said the matter of timing is linked to the lawsuits that led to the rulings.
Politics, Tony?
"It has implications for that, and that’s the reason why it matters," he said.

This Covid goblin has moved the goalposts so many times he could be a shill for Two Men and a Truck.

Getting back to the article.
I speak to more and more of the vaxxed losing interest in boosters. I think the participation rate will drop as more vaxxed get natural immunity and decide boosters aren't in their best interest.
#7
^ this. It's really the only way out of the hole were in now.
Otherwise it'll be boosters today, boosters tomorrow, boosters forever -- with the same dismal results + yo-yo/Fauxi-mindf--king that we've been suffering for over a year now

I speak to more and more of the vaxxed losing interest in boosters.
I'm one of them. I got the Moderna jabs in May, having been sold on the possibility of the Wuhan Flu causing heart problems (disclosure - I've had six heart attacks). Since that time the goalpost definitely moved, in the manner of 'needing' a booster shot. At that point I realized 'this isn't a vaccine; it's a flu shot'. Never having gotten a flu shot, I said 'fuck that noise'.
Further - it seems these 'vaccines' that aren't vaccines can in some cases cause (wait for it) heart problems - myocarditis, arrythmia, etc. Again I come back to the cure being worse than the disease, so the cure's out.
All of that has been said with these 'vaccines' having been approved via emergency use authorization/ EUA. If I'm going to even entertain the possibility of considering a booster shot, it'll be with one requirement - full long-form FDA approval.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] The city of Seattle ...a formerly lovely city in Washington state, governed by communists, anarchists, dipshits, and other sorts of incompetents. Home to Starbuck's, Boeing (at least for now), and Amazon, Microsoft, and Costco, the city became rich beyond its wildest dreams. All that money attracted the usual sort of grifting politician, and it's well on its way to chewing off the hand that feeds it... posted notices to campers on the campus of a public school to remove all belongings by Thursday, at which time the remainder of the encampment will be cleared.
After almost a year and a half, ongoing violence among the campers and multiple lockdowns, the encampment on the Broadview Thomson K-8 campus has gotten smaller but new campers continue to show up.
Though the city pledged last month to clear the encampment before the end of the year, it has missed multiple deadlines until now. Many neighbors are wondering if the city finally grew weary of the official they put in charge of clearing the encampment.
After demands from parents, teachers and neighbors to clear the encampment following crime, rodent infestation and more attribute to the campers, Seattle Public Schools contracted with Mike Mathias of a new non-profit called Anything Helps.
SPS pinned their hopes on the one-man organization, who had an extensive criminal record, to solve the problem.
According to KOMO News, Mike Mathias, a formerly homeless meth addict who ran the organization, stepped down from his role amid "...allegations of mistreatment towards people who had been living at the encampment."
The King County Regional Homelessness Authority confirmed to the outlet that they are investigating "serious allegations" and that housing voucher referrals for the group have been frozen.
When he was appointed, Mathias told The Ari Hoffman Show on Talk Radio 570 KVI, that he would not be receiving any money for his efforts and that he turned down funding. However, the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach... that claim ran contrary to Seattle Public Schools, which told parents and neighbors that the district was giving $5,000 for Mathias to begin his work. Donations have also been coming into the fledgling organization.
Many asked why a new organization was needed when billions of dollars have been spent on Seattle’s existing homeless assistance organizations.
Police records revealed that Mathias has an extensive criminal past as well as addiction and mental health challenges.
In 2017, Mathias attacked a couple in a vehicle in a road rage incident. After berating the couple, and attacking their vehicle in the parking lot of a Target, they drove away to escape, at which point Mathias followed them and at another intersection exited his vehicle and damaged the couple's car.

It was a blanket condemnation. CNN just happened to be under the blanket. Some administration explanation was warranted.

Every time Pres. Magoo's poll numbers drop even further, the anguished stories in Politico, CNN and the rest of American Pravda are 80-90% about a) his administration's "communication strategy" and b) his trillion-dollar [non]infrastructure giveaway.
These assholes are so f--king detached from reality, they can't even connect the dots between "F Joe Biden," the admin's full-spectrum shitshow, $6 bread, $20/lb steak, $5+ gas prices -- and the worst presidential approval rating since 1973.

On Tuesday evening it emerged that the White House had dispatched a team of three people to speak to newsrooms and encourage more favorable coverage.
Another approach would have been for the administration to start doing its job instead of treating everything as a communications issue. The Afghan debacle looked terrible because it was terrible, not because the press didn't cover it fairly.
