Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Calls for Reparations as a Way to Reduce Violent Crime (VIDEO)

 

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is calling for reparations as a way to reduce violent crime. Is he suggesting that only black people commit violent crimes? It’s a good thing he isn’t a Republican or some people might say that he was a racist for saying that.

This raises other obvious questions. Is Brandon suggesting that we should pay criminals to not commit crimes? None of it makes sense.

Also, isn’t the city going broke due to the influx of illegal border crossers. Johnson just tapped millions in COVID funds to deal with that problem.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson calls for reparations funding to reduce violent crime

Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson insisted to CNN that funding for reparations in his new budget will help get to the root of the city’s record violent crime epidemic.

While speaking to network anchor Poppy Harlow on “CNN This Morning” Wednesday, Johnson acknowledged the high crime rate in Chicago and declared that the “full force of government” is required to solve it, including the city throwing $500,000 at reparations programs.

Harlow prompted his answer by citing Chicago Police Department statistics revealing that although “the murder rate is down from 2022,” “all other forms of violent crime, Mr. Mayor, are up from a year ago, up 17% overall.”…

He then spoke about city funds being diverted to providing reparations for its African American community. “I’ve added a half a million dollars for restoration and reparations to address, again, the cycle of violence, which looks like school closings, closing of mental health facilities, of which I’ve invested in now. We’re going to open up two mental health clinics that were closed from two previous administrations ago.”

Johnson’s focus is in all the wrong places. It’s amazing that Chicago succeeded in electing someone even worse than Lori Lightfoot.

Biden told reporters his New Year’s resolution: To be back in St. Croix next year.

Biden’s resolution isn’t to lower inflation, release American hostages, improve life for Americans – it’s to travel back to St. Croix next year!

Typical psychopath and narcissist.

Even Former Obama Adviser David Axelrod is Slamming Democrats for Trying to Take Trump Off Ballots: ‘Would Rip the Country Apart’ (VIDEO)

Even Former Obama Adviser David Axelrod is Slamming Democrats for Trying to Take Trump Off Ballots: ‘Would Rip the Country Apart’ (VIDEO)

 

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod is criticizing the efforts of the left to remove Trump from ballots in various states, saying it would rip the country apart.

David Axelrod is giving his party too much credit. Democrats obviously don’t care. They would burn the country down to prevent Trump from taking office again.

Axelrod also points out that the strategy is backfiring.

FOX News reports:

Former top Obama adviser says if Trump prevented from running it ‘would rip the country apart’

Former top Obama adviser David Axelrod warned Friday that a court decision removing former President Donald Trump from the primary ballot “would rip the country apart.”

“I have very, very strong reservations about all of this,” Axelrod said on CNN on Friday. “I do think it would rip the country apart if he were actually prevented from running because tens of millions of people want to vote for him.”

Axelrod said that the Democrats’ best bet on beating Trump is in the polls.

“I think if you’re going to beat Donald Trump, you’re going to probably have to do it at the polls,” he continued…

Axelrod said that the effort by the left to remove Trump has backfired, and he has only “gained” popularity since his many indictments.

“We’ve run this experiment, he’s only gained since he started getting indicted,” he said.

Notice how no one on the CNN panel is agreeing with him. They just sit there stone-faced like they’re hearing bad news. People on the left think the ballot strategy is legitimate. They will do anything to stop Trump even as they claim to care about our democracy.

Muslim Leaders in America Expand Campaign to ‘Abandon Biden’ in 2024 Over U.S. Support for Israel

Muslim Leaders in America Expand Campaign to ‘Abandon Biden’ in 2024 Over U.S. Support for Israel

 

Muslim leaders are vowing to punish Joe Biden at the ballot box in 2024 over America’s continued support for Israel and because they are angry that Biden has not called for a ceasefire.

Even non-Muslim activists on the left are angry about this and may vote third party or stay home on election day as a result, but an organized boycott by Muslims could have a real effect on the election, especially in a state like Michigan.

This is one of the main reasons why the Biden administration keeps talking about Islamophobia.

CNBC reports:

Muslim leaders expand campaign to abandon Biden in 2024 over Israel-Hamas war

Muslim leaders announced on Saturday that they are going national with an effort to dissuade voters from reelecting President Joe Biden in 2024 due to his failure to call for a cease-fire in Gaza.

The #AbandonBiden campaign officially began earlier in December, led by Muslim leaders in swing states like Michigan, Minnesota and Arizona, who disapproved of Biden’s support for Israel’s counterattacks against Hamas. The counterattacks have come at the cost of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian lives.

Now, the coalition intends to expand the pressure campaign to all 50 states.

“We will save America from itself, by punishing Biden at the ballot box,” said lead organizer Jaylani Hussein in a statement.

The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment…

“There is a likelihood that our votes may weaken the Democrats that the Republicans may win,” Hussein said. “We’re not fools about that.”

They seem serious about this.

On Saturday, Dec. 30, 2023, at 12:30 p.m. CDT, prominent Muslim leaders nationwide will unite for a significant national convention in Chicago, Illinois, to launch a 50-state #AbandonBiden campaign following months of Biden’s material support of genocide. https://t.co/oduFHsan0J pic.twitter.com/nA1j9tnGOK

If these voters follow through, it’ll be fascinating to see where it hurts Biden most.
