Chicago, the home of Cabrini Green, a notorious hotbed of gang violence, has long been an experiment by the Democrats on how to keep citizens living in fear and how to dangle the carrot of justice and safety in front of them to keep them voting for the same thing expecting a different outcome. The Democrat politicians have never cared about the citizens in their districts, cities, counties, or states and they are afraid that when President Trump cleans up the violence in less time than it takes to take a good vacation they will be exposed for the vile poisonous politicians that they are. They are also afraid that Trump will remove all of their illegal voters that now keep them in office since the Black community has woken up to these facts.
Imagine being so self-interested in your own fortune and power that you'd willingly and actively thwart legitimate attempts to stop the bloodshed on your city streets.
The actions being taken by these rogue democrat Governors and Mayors making the decision to fight the Federal Government in carrying out their Constitutional duty to keep ALL Americans safe and free from terror is by definition an INSURRECTION.
Yes so true it’s all about keeping power which is scary and they are the first to call conservatives Hitlers which they themselves exhibit like minded actions for that they say they detest. The gangs have no idea what they are missing in life.
The black community has woken up? They voted 76% for Johnson. It's considered huge progress that a paltry 25% of black men voted for Trump. Black women of course continue to be a Democratic monolith. Yeah, they really know what's good for them. Not that blacks are, as a group, more clueless than whites. They are not, IMO. They did much better at seeing through the COVID BS, especially the jabs. Just saying I don't see where they've woken up to anything at all, except a small subset of black men.
I'm 63 and as far back as to my teens Chicago always had a violence issue. Mine you I'm from Jersey City, NJ. So its not like I was immune to violence but not on the scale there.
I agree I grew up in the suburbs of Flint Mi. So I am not immune to crime either but compared to Chicago it beats Flint it is a mess. Lived here all my life not necessarily by choice Job, parents now grandkids. I applaud Trump for cleaning up these cess pools making life better just like he said but them stupid Dems just keep putting up the road blocks. You do not see this mess in Republican cities.
Dems thrive on crime, as it gives them power to keep the good silent, who know the Gov will not protect them, but go after them instead of the criminals.
Thank you for standing up for these dead citizens and the rest of this state . It is criminal in itself that nothing more has been done for these people that never had a chance at a decent life here on earth. Rules matter , enforcing rules matters . Without them there is chaos which we see reported daily. Unbelievable that educated and other people even allow this to happen to their state and cities and don’t do more.
If they can’t get the job done then they need to resign or ask for help and then get coached on how to keep the peace. Catch and release is never the answer for people who won’t obey the law.
Because there is a long standing personal beef between the 2. Why do you think he’s not running for president until Trump has already served 2 terms?? Because he will never win otherwise & he knows it. This is a personal vendetta & it’s causing the ppl of IL to suffer. Yes, he SHOULD be in jail! And if I were president Trump I would take up Pritzker’s challenge of “come get me” & make sure every crime Pritzker has committed is exposed & prosecuted!
Well stated, Stephen A. I’ve lived in Chicago suburbs for over 40 years. 2 of my sons lived in Wrigleyville and my daughter still lived in the city.
Chicago is a beautiful and fantastic city, but the crime has been out of control as long as I have lived here. The politicians have done NOTHING to solve the problem. It’s a shame that local politicians haven’t had the courage to tackle this problem, but I’m glad Trump is stepping up.
Not when you live here. This isn’t a game. Pritzker and Johnson do not care about the deaths. They don’t care when babies die in their very own homes because of gang violence. They don’t care that our poor get even less help now because of illegals. Trump actually does care. This is NOT a game.
Every DEMOCRAT policy in Illinois contributes to a degradation of the state. The out-migration of taxpayers has stressed the funding of government, and contributed to increasing crime. People who say crime is down don’t realize that felonies (counted) are downgraded to misdemeanors (not counted) and misdemeanors dismissed by liberal judges. The police department is down thousands of officers, who’d work here if they didn’t have to - nobody has your back.
Furthermore, DEMOCRATS who stick around Illinois move to the Collar Counties bringing the toxic Chicago government approach with them; they forget the reason they moved and fail to recognize the conservative government that made the suburbs a place they wanted to move to.
And, have you seen the abomination that broke the century old lakefront plan to keep the lakefront open for the use of citizens? It’s called The OBAMA Center which is now projected to cost double its original building cost and time to build. It’s already cracking and crumbling and it won’t open for years. It’s a perfect symbol of this city and state…
What was this stupid mayor waiting for...more slaughter? The governor was equally as mentally handicapped, not doing anything to help the decent people who live there. In the past, ineffectual leaders like this were 'tarred and feathered,' and would not survive.

While Americans in the city live in fear.

Just as a point of clarity, the Cabrini-Green high-rises were torn down; the last one in 2023.
Thank you Barbara, I knew they had demolished them but they waited about 7 decades too late :)

I lived near Camden, NJ for 25 years. Crime was their normal.
"Boss Hogg-Pritzker"…that toxic-corrupt slob?

The Governor and Mayor don't want their incompetence and inability to care exposed,just like CA Governor Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass

Isn't it entertaining watch a faux internecine war between gangsters.😁

Add disinclination to report and widespread plea bargaining to lesser or zero crimes to your apt observation.
I kept it short in case Substack comments have a character limit…
Trump cares about his mid-morning snack.😆
… which for Pritzker is eating an entire Waffle House, including the chairs and tables…
And the corrupt duo will consume a loveseat. 😁
I get the impression that Boss Tweed's Government Machine was never really cleaned out of Chicago.
Mayor Daly wanna be.
trump is way out of order .......this guy is a nutcase....
What was this stupid mayor waiting for...more slaughter? The governor was equally as mentally handicapped, not doing anything to help the decent people who live there. In the past, ineffectual leaders like this were 'tarred and feathered,' and would not survive.
This will never be about justice this will just be an excuse to round up brown people
Sorry but dont need martial law or the normalization of fascism and tryanny
Is Detroit a case study? Not that it is the safest place in America…seems like a mess made tolerable. If so, how did this take place?
