| In Chicago – What’s Worse? Corruption or Progressive Incompetence? Steve Balich editor note: The corruption of Democrats as corruption of any form costs everyone money. The public was at least safe and businesses could make money. Now the cost is higher and we are not safe. Everything cost more money as inflation rages on. If you have good credit you need to pay more for a loan so those with bad credit can get a better rate. If you are a business and not hiring illegals or refugees you can get sued by the Federal Government like Space X. If you want to change sex you just say you identify as a ? What made us as a nation great is being destroyed by a small group of elected people mostly democrats and every institution and corporation that has turned woke. This is all because the schools and media have been used to promote the indoctrination of Marxism since the 50’s. Cloward And Piven is a plan that says to destroy everything so it can be rebuilt into Marxism. |
| Al Capone is the most famous Illinois gangster of all time, but now we are learning that Mike Madigan — Speaker of the Illinois House for 36 years who ran a pay-to-play syndicate for decades — may be a close second. |

Madigan was finally chased from office in 2021 after being implicated in a bribery scheme in which Commonwealth Edison offered sleazy and lucrative contracts and jobs to his close allies. Madigan’s trial is scheduled soon and the prosecution’s case will be strengthened by this week’s perjury and obstruction of Justice conviction of Tim Mapes, Madigan’s chief of staff for two decades. Over the decades Democrats like Madigan and “the boss” Richard M. Daley were corrupt – and payoffs were a cost of doing business. But at least if you bribed the right people things got done. Chicago was known as “the city that works.” The garbage got collected. The new progressive Democrats, like Mayor Brandon Johnson, are more honest – but they are ideological to the point of complete incompetence. They can’t fight crime, they can’t fix the potholes, they can’t get the homeless off the streets, the schools don’t teach, and they raise taxes through the roof as business owners and wealthy residents flee. We think the old-style Democrats were less harmful. What do you think? |
