Chicago Bears appear headed to suburbs as they buy Arlington Park

The exodus from Chicago continues. Macy's and the Gap have bailed on North Michigan Avenue, which was hit hard by two waves or riots last year.

And now the Chicago Bears appear to be on the move too. Late last night news broke that the NFL charter franchise purchased Arlington Park, a horse racing track, in suburban Cook County. The race course closed this month for good.

This is huge. Off of the top of my head--of the cities with teams in all four major sports leagues only Philadelphia and Denver have teams that play their home games in the core city--or have never had one of their teams call one of their suburbs home.

In seemingly unrelated news, CWB Chicago is reporting that on Monday the city's police commissioner, David Brown, in a speech said that car jackings are "down" in Chicago. That is a lie and Brown knows it. Also on that same day Cook County's so-called prosecutor, Kim Foxx, in a Tweet claimed that "the homicide rate remains flat." Wrong. Murders this year are up slightly over 2020 and much higher than in 2019.

Gutfeld: What happened to the adults we were promised in the Biden admininstration?

The Biden administration--and the compliant mainstream media--said that once the mean Tweeter was out of office the "adults" would be in the room at the White House. But now America is enduring debacle after debacle with Joe Biden nominally in charge.

Greg Gutfeld--the King of Late Night--has more.

Tucker: This is one of the worst stories of our time

An optimist will say that our military is led by hacks. A realist will say it is led by traitors.


FBI stats show that South Bend, Indiana among America's most violent cities

As Joe Biden's presidency crumbles--and the unpopularity of his vice president, Kamala Harris, exceeds his--there is already talk of who will be the Democratic nominee in 2024. 

One of those possibilities is Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg. Prior to his 2020 president run Buttigieg was mayor of South Bend, Indiana. 

How are things now in South Bend? Yesterday the FBI released crime statistics for 2020 and the Detroit News compiled a list based on those numbers and creating a worst-ten for violent crime in cities

Memphis topped the list with Detroit placing second. Rounding out the list is St. Louis, Little Rock, South Bend, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Missouri, Lansing, Michigan, and Springfield, Missouri. 

Yes, Mayor Pete's South Bend is among the ten with the northern Indiana city suffering from 1,765 violent crimes in 2020 that translates to a rate of 1,706.09 violent crimes per 100,000 residents.

Okay, okay, I get it. Buttigieg hasn't been mayor of South Bend since New Year's Day in 2020. But the spike in violent crimes goes back years, beginning in 2012, when Mayor Pete was sworn into office. 

Buttigieg's successor, James Mueller, was a childhood friend of Mayor Pete as well as a onetime chief of staff of his. Buttigieg endorsed Mueller in the 2019 Democratic Primary for South Bend mayor and Mueller easily won in the general election in this heavily Democratic city.

Eight killed and at least 54 others wounded, including a cop, over weekend in Chicago

The first weekend of autumn brought plenty of shootings to Chicago. Eight people were shot to death aand at least 54 others were wounded.  Among the wounded was a Chicago police officer who was shot in the legs--she has since been released. Also wounded was a Chicago Fire Department paramedic who was grazed by a bullet. 

President Biden visits Chicago in two days. I don't expect him to talk about violence in the city.

Joe Biden tells debunked, confusing Amtrak story for the third time

Here's a promise that Joe Biden fulfilled. "I'm gotta tell you a quick story," he says here to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, "that has nothing to do with anything."

There he goes again, Crazy Great Grandpa.

Biden's Amtrak story, first told when he was somewhat more lucid a few years ago, has been debunked on several levels. 


Joe Biden finally admits the border is not under control

When asked about the sorry situation today about the chaos at the southern border, Joe Biden replied, "We will get it under control." 

Which of course means the southern border is out of control. Don't blame me--I voted for Donald Trump.

Pelosi defends botched Afghanistan withdrawal after Americans left behind: "Got off to hazy start"

At least 100 Americans are stranded in Afghanistan, despite Joe Biden's promise not to leave any Americans behind. 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in remarks today where she defended Biden's debacle said that it "got off to hazy start." 

Perhaps Pelosi, second-in-line to the presidency I'd like to remind you, was thinking of Biden's cognitive state when he was sworn in.

Victory Boyd's invitation to perform our National Anthem at NFL Kickoff Game cancelled because she chose not to get vaccinated for religous purposes

I heard Mike Gallagher discussing this story on his radio show, which only the Epoch Times and the Daylight Post are covering as of this morning. 

Victory Boyd is an African-American woman--which normally the mainstream media would fall overthemselves to defend--but because she is basing her decision not to get vaccinated on religious grounds, the media for now just shrugs and says, "Nothing to see here, please move on."

Because of the cancellation Boyd won't collect a $20,000 appearance fee.

From the Daylight Post:

An appearance by Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Victory Boyd to perform the National Anthem at the NFL's Sept. 9 season-opening game in Tampa Bay was canceled by the league because she declined for religious reasons to be vaccinated against the CCP Virus.
"As I understand that Victory will not be fully vaccinated by the time of the Kickoff game, she would not have been able to comply with the terms of the Game Day Field Access Policy," NFL Senior Director for Media and Entertainment Events Seth Dudowsky told Boyd's father and manager, John Boyd, in an Aug. 31 email made available to The Epoch Times.
"And as a result, we unfortunately will not be able to invite Victoria to perform the national anthem at this year's Kickoff game," Dudowsky said.
Raymond James stadium is an open-air venue. Presumably Boyd would have performed mid-field, which is usually quite empty when our National Anthem is sung at sporting events.

Rachel Maddow, Rolling Stone magazine fall for fake news COVID story from Oklahoma

One of the ongoing false narratives that the mainstream media is that rural Americans--meaning Donald Trump voters--are unsophisticated yokels. And perhaps dangerous ones as they may be recklessly spreading COVID-19. Or harming themselves with bizarre treatments. 

Rachel Maddow leads this latest fake news parade.

From Fox News:

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow was excoriated on social media this week after failing to delete a tweet containing false information about hospitals in Oklahoma being overrun with coronavirus patients overdosing on Ivermectin, a parasite-fighting medication that can also be sold over the counter as a veterinary drug.
Maddow was previously criticized over the Thursday tweet, along with a number of other media figures, for spreading the false story without verifying it's authenticity after the hospital system in question denied the source's claim that people were being treated for the overdoses.
The story, which was originally reported at Oklahoma's KFOR-TV news, quoted testimony from Dr. Jason McElyea claiming that hospitals in a rural part of Oklahoma were being overrun with patients overdosing on the drug, causing gunshot victims to have to wait to be treated.
It was later deemed false after the Northeastern Hospital System denied any patients were treated for overdoses from the drug and that McElyea hadn't actually worked at one of the hospitals in question for two months.
Rolling Stone ran with the story too but later issued a correction.

My friends you are constantly being lied to by the media. 

Six killed and at least 57 wounded over Labor Day weekend in Chicago, eight of those shot were children

The pro-criminal policies of Cook County state's attorney Kim Foxx and Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot continue--and the carnage continues too.

Over Labor Day weekend six Chicagoans were shot to death and at least 57 others were wounded. Of those shot, eight of them were children. One of the slain was 4-year-old Mychal Moultry Jr, who was shot by stray bullets as he was getting a haircut inside a home. Moultry doesn't live in Chicago, he was visiting the South Side with his family, they are from Alabama.

So far in 2021 at least 280 children have shot shot in Chicago--35 of them fatally.

A recent poll by WGN TV/Emerson College shows that only slightly one-third of Chicagoans approve of the job Kim Foxx is doing. How did Foxx respond? With the race card. John Kass gives us her comments.

And we need to stop oversimplifying the criminal justice system and critically examine all the factors influencing violence in our communities.This means not relying on data from a cherry-picked poll that only examines two actors in a broad system and who happen to be Black women.

Foxx is an embarrasment. And a deadly one too. 

According to Hey Jackass of Chicago's 2021 murder victims over 80-percent of them were African-American.

Blog post headline from Hollywood writer: Oh my f*cking god, get the f*cking vaccine, you f*cking f*cks

Some Hollywood producer and writer, one that I never heard of, Wendy Molyneux, exposes her as a typical leftist. Despite their apparent charm and intelligence, they aren't far removed from the rambling loon you find on a city bus every once in a while. 

Oh, there were no asterisks in the headline. 

 Here's how she ends her blog post, which comes from a site named McSweeney's:
There is ONE person remaining in your life who wants to fucking save you from drowning in your own fucking lungs, you fucking fuckshit fuckdick, so for god’s sake, get your fucking ass out of your chair, go to the fucking pharmacy, and get a fucking vaccine, you absolute conscienceless fucking fuck fuck fuck. Get it. Get the fucking vaccine. Fuck you. Fuck fuck fuck. Fuck. Fuck you. Fuck!
Oh, if you need to know, I am fully vaccinated. It was my choice.

Oh, the survival rate from COVD-19 for people under 75 with no underlying health problems is about 99 percent

Biden lied--or was confused again--about visiting synagogue after mass shooting

Sheesh, Biden is an embarrasment.

From the New York Post:

President Biden on Thursday told Jewish leaders that he spent time at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh after the October 2018 mass murder of 11 people there — but the synagogue told The Post he never visited. 

“I remember spending time at the, you know, going to the, you know, the Tree of Life synagogue, speaking with them,” Biden said in a 16-minute virtual address ahead of the Jewish holidays Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

Barb Feige, executive director of the Tree of Life, said that Biden did not visit the synagogue in the nearly three years since the anti-Semitic attack. 

In a phone interview, Feige, executive director since July 2019, said firmly that “no” Biden didn’t visit, even before taking office when he had a lower public profile as a former vice president and then-Democratic presidential candidate.
Later Biden's army of apologists explained that Sleepy Joe merely called the synagogue.

Joe Biden caught out being 'clearly disrespectful'

"Fact-checkers" are nothing but leftist propagandists and apologists for liberal failures. 

Yes, USA Today, Joe Biden was repeatedly checking his watch during the ceremony for the return of the remains of the 13 members of our military killed in Afghanistan last week.
