Businesses are closing because Chicago has been neither business friendly nor responsive since 2020. We refused to hold looters accountable. We downplay “smash & grabs” and shoplifting as nothing more than an insurance issue. We disregarded people’s enterprising spirit and faith in the American dream. We discounted the personal sacrifices people made because the narrative demanded crimes of the present be ignored as retribution for the sins of the past. In essence: reparations by criminal action. And yet somehow my fellow politicians act stunned by the outcomes they promoted.

@alinastan58 Correct but supporting her is not what these CORRUPT ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS are about. No, what they’re really all about is maintaining their own power over everyone else. That’s why they all must be voted out, starting with their governor.

Maria Velazquez was brutally pistol-whipped—nose broken, face battered—by Alphonso Talley during an armed robbery. This monster then murdered Officer John Bartholomew in cold blood. All while out on electronic monitoring thanks to JB Pritzker’s SAFE-T Act.

@StraightShootrr @Independentmod @RodDMartin The Border States who stayed loyal really F***ed you over good, didn't they?

@Independentmod @gpb20800 @RodDMartin They had rejected federal overreach. Does a 47% tax seem like a good idea to you? What kind of chnt simps for federal overreach?
The north had plenty of slaves, in fact they didn’t give them up till up to two years after the war ended. Seems a little hypocritical, dontyathink?

Everyone loves asking: “If Grant was such a great general, how come he lost nearly every battle to Lee and suffered way more casualties?”
Robert E. Lee himself had a very different answer.
“I have carefully searched the military records of both ancient and modern history, and have never found Grant’s superior as a general. I doubt his superior can be found in all history.” — Robert E. Lee
The entire question is built on two flat-out falsehoods.
First: Grant didn’t “lose nearly every battle.” There was essentially ONE continuous campaign — from the Wilderness in May 1864 straight through to Appomattox in April 1865.
Grant seized the initiative in the very first clash and never gave it back. Lee spent the rest of the war reacting to Grant’s moves.
When Lee attacked in the Wilderness hoping the old forests and bogs would save him (like they always had), Grant didn’t retreat north like every previous Union commander. He simply disengaged, slid south, and flanked Lee again.
Lee never dictated the terms of battle after that day.
James Longstreet had tried to warn the Army of Northern Virginia: “We’ve never faced anyone like this man.” They didn’t listen. They learned fast.
Second: The casualty comparison ignores that Lee was almost always the defender. Context matters.
But the deeper truth is bigger than any single clash. Lee still fought war the old way — disconnected battles, win-loss record like a sports season.
Grant fought the next war: coordinated campaigns across multiple theaters, using railroads, telegraph, navy, and engineers to keep relentless pressure until the enemy simply could not continue.
Grant didn’t win by accident. He made contact and maintained it until victory was inevitable.
Lee fought the last war. Grant wrote the blueprint for the next one.
That’s why he was great. That's why he won.

@Independentmod @StraightShootrr @RodDMartin That's a strange way to start a war? I don't recall any cannonballs from Fort Sumter fired in anger towards the Confederates.
English
@StraightShootrr @gpb20800 @RodDMartin I thought they were succeeding to be a seperate nation? So at worst he was itching for a war against a new rival nation of evil slavers. They had rejected being Americans

Here's a much better, more insightful take on the same Walgreens store closing in Chatham. 💯
Thank you Christian for hitting it on the head. 🎯
@the_jefferymead, DO BETTER. ✅
Christian Maxwell For Congress | IL-CD1@themodpun
Retail theft does not happen in a vacuum. When neighborhood stores close, families lose access to food, medicine, jobs, and basic services. That failure belongs to every level of government that had the power to act and did not do enough. The alderman should be fighting for safer commercial corridors and stronger local coordination. The state representative should be pushing laws that restore consequences for repeat theft and organized retail crime. The current congressman should be bringing federal attention, resources, and pressure to protect businesses in our district. Instead, too many working families are left watching stores lock up products, cut hours, or shut down altogether. When I am elected to Congress, I will fight back with a serious legislative agenda: I will target organized retail crime rings, push stronger federal coordination between law enforcement and retailers, support penalties for interstate fencing and cargo theft, and fight for resources that help small businesses afford security upgrades. This is about protecting workers, customers, seniors, small businesses, and the families who depend on neighborhood stores every day. Safer stores. Stronger neighborhoods. Real accountability.

@StraightShootrr @RodDMartin The Confederate hotheads fired upon Federal troops in Charleston Harbor (April, 1861) falling for the trap that Lincoln left for them.
Lincoln would not strike them first, THAT was his plan.
Confederates = STOOO-PID.
English
@RodDMartin lol. How did it do that? The civil war wasn’t about slavery, it was about federal overreach. Lincoln liked his 72% tax rates on southern plantations and was racist af. Please note he was going to ship all the slaves to Panama after the war. You should deep dive this rabbit hole.

Danielle Carter-Walters for Mayor 2027
The People’s Mayor!
I’m in this photo, the @chicagotribune captured me standing in front of the Mayor and City Council, with my property tax bill in my hand.
Addressing the outrageous property tax bills that doubled, and in some cases tripled, for families on the South and West Sides. I told them we’re coming for those seats, and I wasn’t playing.
This is what I’ve been fighting for.
Everything I’m running on, I’ve already been fighting for.
We need new leadership. We need someone willing to stand up to the political machine, not protect it.
I’m not part of that machine.
I’m here to dismantle it.

Build your own army. Pay for it yourself. If you don’t want to, then learn Russian again. We want real partners like Poland and Israel. You're nothing but a dependent.

@LDerheydt @TradeWRichard @JamesLucasIT Okay. But you have to admit that for the Romans, the Scottish frontier was kinda, sorta way out of the way. Even more so these days.
English
Tell me you do not know history lol. The Picts, inhabiting modern day Scotland, offered fierce, effective resistance that prevented total Roman occupation of the north.
The Picts, along with other Caledonian tribes, launched frequent, effective raids and forced the Romans to spend over 200 years defending the frontier.
Then came Hadrian's wall, because the Romans gave up trying, so they built a wall. Learn your history before you make such comments.
I know this because I am heavily involved with Scottish Heritage and culture and we do not take kindly to ill-informed comments and or information. The Picts scared the crap out of the Romans. The Picts were not to be trifled with.
English
The haunting sound that Roman soldiers would have heard from their Celtic enemies before battle came from the Carnyx, an ancient wind instrument used between 200 BC and 200 AD.

Does humanity have any greater architectural legacy than the Gothic cathedrals of Europe?
> Built with no power tools or engines
> Just wooden cranes powered by men in a treadwheel
> 300,000 tons of stone transported by ox-cart
> Solid stone vaulted ceiling that floats in the air
> Walls so thin that they could be mostly glass
> Unfathomably complex geometry encoded in
> All calculated with some string and a compass
> Built by towns of a few thousand people at most
> Generations of builders who knew they'd never live to see the end result
What inspires a people to even attempt something like this?
