Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson must be suffering from low approval ratings because he is pushing for reparations again. This time, it’s not over slavery but about people from parts of the city that were subjected to ICE raids.

Of course, there is absolutely no money for this. The city of Chicago is broke, but Johnson has no intention of ever actually delivering on this anyway.

Johnson is simply trying to curry favor with an electorate which can’t stand him.

Townhall reports:

The city of Chicago is billions of dollars in debt, including $36 billion in pension debt. The Chicago Public School district also has a budget deficit of more than $700 million. Despite these very dire fiscal parameters, Mayor Brandon Johnson wants to spend more taxpayer money to give reparations to areas where ICE conducted immigration enforcement raids.

“I believe the most relevant ballot referendum question around receiving reparations for communities that experienced that hardship, and whether that was on the west side of Chicago or the black man being placed in an illegal chokehold or long guns being stuck into the faces of women and children, zip-tied and thrown into vehicles. Kidnapped, shot at. I mean, police officers, tear gas, right?” Johnson said. “So the updated policy in the spirit of my executive order, there’s greater alignment to create a pathway to accountability.”

Again, this has more to do with poll numbers than anything else. Brandon Johnson is not popular, at all.

NEW POLL: Just 13.6% of Chicagoans say they would like to see Mayor Brandon Johnson run for re-election (57% would not).

The mayor’s approval rating is 23% (54% disapprove).

Among Black Chicagoans: Just 12.9% want Johnson to run for re-election (60%+ do not).

It’s just amazing that the city finally got rid of Mayor Lori Lightfoot and ended up with someone even worse.

Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia is apparently very concerned about his appearance and wants to appear as dainty as possible because according to a new report from the Washington Free Beacon, he spends more on makeup than some members of the Squad.

We’re not here to judge Senator Ossoff. Most Democrats want to look their best when they’re playing for the cameras of their fans in the media.

One has to wonder what his nighttime routine is like for skin moisturizer. Do you think he wears a mask?

From the Washington Free Beacon:

Jon Ossoff Spends Thousands on ‘Makeup Services’ From Artist Who Worked on Hollywood Blockbusters Like ‘The Notebook’

Sen. Jon Ossoff (D., Ga.) has spent thousands of dollars in campaign funds on “makeup services” in 2026, and his artist of choice has a long list of Hollywood credits, including The Notebook and The Hunger Games, a Washington Free Beacon review found.

Ossoff has paid makeup artist Stephanie Ponder $2,887 for “makeup services” since February, federal campaign finance disclosures show. The most recent payment of $900 came on June 10. An advertisement on the online production crew directory SHOOTS describes Ponder as an Atlanta-based freelancer and member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees who offers “Services for all phases of Makeup: Film, Video, Print, Runway.” It also includes credits on films like the Disney-produced Denzel Washington hit Remember the Titans…

Ossoff’s four-figure makeup expenditures stand out among federal candidates. The Georgia senator who is running for reelection against Republican Rep. Mike Collins (Ga.), has reported spending more on makeup than any other candidate this year, beating out the likes of far-left Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.). Ocasio-Cortez has spent $1,837.93 on “campaign event hair & makeup services” in 2026, while Tlaib has spent $320 on “hair and makeup services.”

The spending also comes as liberal media figures praise the 39-year-old Ossoff’s carefully managed on-camera presence and float him as a prospective 2028 presidential candidate.

How nice for him.

Now I know why he is such a pretty boy

Joy Behar of ‘The View’ is now pushing conspiracy theories about Trump’s nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia. During the broadcast on Thursday, she basically suggested that Trump is going to allow the Saudis to nuke the United States and that he is doing it for the money.

Every other day, a Democrat or someone in the media accuses Trump of pushing conspiracy theories, then Joy Behar talks like this and the same people are totally silent.

This show is bad for the country. Behar and her co-hosts push dangerous and toxic misinformation constantly.

Transcript via Nicholas Fondacaro of NewsBusters:

JOY BEHAR: The thing that I really can’t stand about him right now is that he starts a war in Iran because they’re going to get a nuclear weapon. Now, he’s making a deal with the Saudi Arabians that will allow them to produce a nuclear weapon.

Now, where is the head of the Republican Party in this, because they have the power to get rid of him.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: And they will say that the Saudis are not allowed to make a nuclear weapon but they’re allowed to enrich.

BEHAR: Oh, I see. Then we’ll go to war with the 9/11 group. The Saudis were behind 9/11 and – and – Are they waiting for him to drop a nuke on Cleveland?! What are they waiting for to do something?!

Now I’m scared. See, I grew up hiding under the desk. I was one of those kids and you were probably too, Whoopi, where they said a nuclear bomb is about to hit, get under your desk, like that would do anything. And I’ve been scared of that. I never took my library books back because I said we’re all going to die any. That is a fact.

And now we have a guy enabling that rogue nation, because — by the way, they’re going to give tens of billions of dollars. That’s what is behind this. Follow the money with this guy!

HOSTIN: Always follow the money.

BEHAR: I want him out of there!

Watch the clip:

ABC News’s Joy Behar claims Trump is going nuke Cleveland, Ohio and whines only then Republicans in Congress would act against him. She also claims Trump is selling nuclear bombs to terrorists and pocketing the money:

Liberals used to call this the politics of fear.

The people who run ABC News should be ashamed of themselves for allowing it on the air.

New data has revealed that the number of homeless people in the city of Los Angele has gone up over the last year, despite the fact that the city and state have spent billions upon billions of dollars trying to ‘fix’ the problem.

Now that Spencer Pratt is out of the running for mayor, the next mayor will either be incumbent Karen Bass or communist upstart Nithya Raman, which means this situation will probably get even worse.

At what point do the people of Los Angeles, the law abiding taxpayers finally say that they have had enough?

The Los Angeles Times reports:

Homelessness has increased in L.A., dealing fresh setback to Mayor Karen Bass

The number of people living on the street, both in the city of Los Angeles and across much of Los Angeles County, is up compared to the previous year, dealing a fresh blow to Mayor Karen Bass as she runs for reelection.

L.A.’s unsheltered homeless population — those living outdoors or in their vehicles — went up by 7.9% after two consecutive years of decreases, according to two people familiar with the numbers presented by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority in closed-door briefings.

Overall homelessness, which includes those living in shelters and other temporary facilities, increased by 3.4% compared to the previous year, those sources said.

Both asked to remain unnamed because they were not authorized to publicly discuss LAHSA’s presentation, which focused on this year’s annual point-in-time count conducted in January.

The numbers represent a significant setback for Bass, who is seeking a second term in the Nov. 3 election and has made the fight against homelessness a central part of her agenda, touting her administration’s progress in moving people indoors.

Bass, in a statement, attributed the increases to an array of issues, including funding cuts by the state and federal governments. She described a lack of adequate county services, such as mental health and substance counseling, as a contributor to the crisis.

Here’s a video report:

Los Angeles is doomed.

They finally had a chance to really deal with this problem when Spencer Pratt was running for mayor but the radical left ended that.

Republican Rep. Brandon Gill grilled Michelle A. Behnke, the president of the American Bar Association this week about DEI policies in law schools, the future of the U.S. Supreme Court and more.

If you have ever seen Gill in this type of environment before, you know how good he is at this.

He asked this woman very simple questions but she kept falling back on answers that sounded like rehearsed legal responses.

Here’s a partial transcript:

GILL: According to the ABA’s website, quote, all of us have implicit biases, would you agree with that statement?

BEHNKE: The ABA believes that, uh, diversity, equity and inclusion, improves the lives of…

GILL: Would you agree with the statement? That, quote, all of us have implicit biases, from the ABA’s website?

BEHNKE: The ABA believes that diversity in all of its…

GILL: Is that a yes? Can I take that… It’s a yes or no question. Do you believe that all of us have implicit biases as your website says?

BEHNKE: The ABA looks to remove barriers and…

GILL: That’s not my question, ma’am. Do you believe that all of us have implicit biases?

BEHNKE: I’ve expressed what the ABA is doing…

GILL: That is the ABA’s position. Umm. As expressed by their website. Against which groups do you have implicit biases?

Watch:

The American Bar Association claims on their website that all of us have “implicit biases.”

I asked their President what groups she has implicit biases against and if she’d like to reflect on them. pic.twitter.com/PhTo9fvSTL

In another clip, he asks her about the diversity of the U.S. Supreme Court.

GILL: Would you say that it’s helpful, it’s beneficial if our Supreme Court resembles the racial diversity of America?

BEHNKE: The ABA believes that diversity in all of its forms is important. We want people to bring all of who they are, whther they be from small practice…

GILL: Diversity. Can you define diversity here? You want to… Should the Supreme Court resemble America’s racial makeup, roughly? It’s a yes or no question.

BEHNKE: The ABA does not… uh… support quotas.

GILL: I’m not asking about quotas, I’m asking if it should roughly resemble America’s racial makeup.

BEHNKE: It should represent all of what people are…

GILL: What people are, OK. So right now there’s about. There’s two of nine Supreme Court justices are black, that’s about 22 percent of the Supreme Court. Umm, according to your testimony, about 13 percent of America’s population is black. If the Supreme Court should roughly resemble America’s demographic makeup, as the ABA states is proper, um, in your opinion, regardless of qualifications, should the Senate refuse to confirm another black Supreme Court justice?

BEHNKE: The ABA supports and encourages diversity in all of its forms.

Watch:

The American Bar Association says that the Supreme Court should reflect America’s racial demographic makeup.

I asked the ABA’s President if that means the Senate should refuse to confirm a third black Supreme Court justice. pic.twitter.com/gWkGL56lzY
