Chicago resident Jessica Jackson called out Chicago Cook County Commissioners Tara Stamps and Dr. Kisha McCaskill for claiming Black voting rights are under attack by using “Voting Rights Act of 1965 propaganda” to fearmonger voters, all while ignoring the crisis impacting Black communities in the county.

The grassroots organization “Chicago Flips Red” shared her powerful remarks and noted on X, “Since 2020, nearly 2,500 homeowners have lost their properties and the equity tied to those homes through delinquent property tax sales. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled the practice unconstitutional years ago, yet families are still fighting for accountability, transparency, and relief.”

“Jackson also raises concerns about property theft tied to Cook County probate court practices, unlawful demolitions without due process, and generational wealth being stripped from longtime residents under the watch of local government.”

“Our argument: politicians continue using historic civil rights language during election season, but stay silent when Black families lose homes, land, inheritance, and wealth through government systems operating in their own backyard.”

Ms. Jackson said during her remarks, “The reality is this: Black people’s voting is not in danger, and you know it’s not, and you know it’s not. I’m 63 years old. I’ve been voting since I was 18. I have never had a problem voting.”

“Now, that may apply to my mother and father. It applies to my grandparents. Surely it does. And in fact, because it does, every single person in this room, including that Jewish lady that just got up and talked, need to really be thanking us. Really need to be thanking us for giving y’all the right to vote, for giving y’all the right to be here instead of sitting up here manipulating the Voting Rights Act like something’s getting ready to happen to our right to vote when you know that’s not true.”

“So now you all going to drag Black people in here, definitely some senior citizens, and going to have them come up here and talk about how they ‘scared to vote’.”

“‘How this messed up the right to vote.’ ‘Women need to vote.’ All that junk when you know it’s not true. Just like you sit up here and make like ‘Black people can’t get IDs….us requiring IDs to vote, it’s gonna stop Black people from voting.’”

“Why Black people ain’t got IDs? See, you all get more and more ridiculous, but you can’t in this room full of these Black people talk about that federal case that just got filed Monday, that’s talking about how you all are stealing property at Cook County sales.”

“Where the Black people in here? Raise your hand that if they told you to come in here to talk about how your property got stolen, where you at? Huh? Because we got commissioners in here that know for a fact it’s happening.”

“Caskill, you know it’s happening. Lori, you know it’s happening. Michael Scott, you know it’s happening. Lamont Williams, come on, you give up cases for the county. You know it’s happening. Donna Miller, you know what’s happening. Well, come on, y’all Black people that they just sent here with these 501c3s that they got y’all in here talking for them.”

“Why y’all ain’t in here talking about how they stealing our property?”

“One minute. Where y’all at? Come on, because y’all getting ready to come up here to this mic and lie with the cameras to say that Black people’s voting is done by this Louisiana thing and Donald Trump and the Trump administration, when Donald Trump is at the— in front of the Supreme Court right now fighting for the 14th Amendment, saying that Black people— that that amendment was for Black people.”

“Not for birthrights, not for people to anchor themselves over here illegally.”

“And they got y’all Black people in here getting ready to talk against him.”

“I mean, y’all real sick up in the head.”

“You sick in the head and more sicker in your spirit.”

“This is insane.”

Ms. Jackson has gone toe-to-toe with Chicago’s corrupt officials. In the lead-up to the 2024 election, Jackson blasted Democrats in a blistering takedown of their decades-long failures in the city and, with the support of others in the audience, proudly declared backing Donald Trump for President.

Today on Stinchfield, the mainstream media keeps pushing the fantasy that President Trump is losing his grip on MAGA. But the voters are telling a completely different story. Trump’s endorsement is now the single most powerful force in American politics and the political establishment is terrified of it.

Just look at the stunning primary defeat of anti Trump Republican Senator Bill Cassidy. Another so called Republican who turned his back on Trump and the America First movement has now paid the political price. And Congressman Thomas Massie may be next on the chopping block as MAGA voters demand loyalty and results, not grandstanding and sabotage from inside the GOP.

Meanwhile, the obsession with UFO disclosures is heating up fast. Is this really about transparency or is this becoming the new Epstein files distraction designed to consume the public? We’ll break down the timing, the motives, and why so many in Washington suddenly want you looking to the skies.

A Soros-funded prosecutor, Mary Moriarty, has charged an ICE agent with the nonfatal shooting of a Venezuelan migrant she claimed was legally in the United States.

In January, ICE agents were involved in a shooting in Minneapolis as Governor Walz claimed federal agents are “going door-to-door ordering people to point out where their neighbors of color live.”

According to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, ICE agents shot a shovel-wielding Venezuelan after he tried to assault federal law enforcement officers.

A Venezuelan teen was shot in the leg.

Per DHS:

Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela, previously convicted for driving without a license and arrested for two counts of giving a false name to a peace officer, was the subject of a targeted enforcement operation. He was released by Minnesota authorities before ICE could even lodge a detainer. Sosa-Celis illegally entered the United States in August 2022 under the Biden administration.

Alfredo Alejandro Ajorna, an illegal alien from Venezuela, illegally entered the United States in May 2023 under the Biden administration. After he failed to show up for his immigration hearing, he was issued a final order of removal by an Immigration Judge.

Gabriel Alejandro Hernandez-Ledezma, a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela, who illegally entered the United States in May 2023 under the Biden administration. The Biden administration marked this illegal alien as a non-enforcement priority.

On Monday, Soros-backed Hennepin County prosecutor Mary Moriarty announced charges against the ICE agent who shot the Venezuelan in the thigh.

Moriarty charged the agent, identified as Christian Castro, with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime.

A warrant for his arrest was also issued.

The Associated Press reported:

A Minnesota prosecutor on Monday announced charges against an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in the nonfatal shooting of a Venezuelan man during the Trump administration’s crackdown in Minnesota.

The officer, Christian Castro, is charged with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime in the Jan. 14 shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said at a news conference. A warrant was issued for his arrest.

A federal officer shot Sosa-Celis in the thigh after he and another officer chased a different man to the apartment duplex where the man and Sosa-Celis lived. Moriarty said both Sosa-Celis and the other man were legally in the U.S.

Federal authorities initially accused Sosa-Celis and Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna of beating an officer with a broom handle and a snow shovel during the incident, but a federal judge later dismissed the charges and federal officials opened an investigation into whether two immigration officers lied under oath about what happened.
