That is, she loves to dish it out but has more than a bit of trouble with incoming criticisms and/or suggestions. (To be sure, a “suggestion”, for the thin-skinned, is almost ALWAYS heard as criticism.)

The following describes a colorful diatribe not recommended for the faint of heart—or for those expecting understanding, empathy, responsibility and/or the golden mean in politics—and it’s by no means the only classic out there as she is wonderfully “prolific”! (OTOH, I keep forgetting that it IS, after all, Chicago…):

You forgot lesbian. She checked three boxes. Unbeatable in any election!

Many blacks are figuring out that white, suburban girls treating them and their concerns like a puppy they are rescuing from from an animal shelter is not, ultimately in blacks’ best interests.

She is a life long resident of Chicago and as such was fully aware of the problems facing that city and, in particular, the routine and “normal” shootings / killings in the black inner city parts of Chicago.
This includes the shooting deaths of young black children caught in the crossfire of gang shootings.
One would think, given her background and her life long residence in Chicago, that BEFORE she ran for mayor, she would have some sort of plan / program / strategy to address / ameliorate the crime within the black inner city of Chicago.
Guess what folks??
She did not.
So why did she run for Mayor?
Well , like many folks who enters politics she obviously wanted to become mayor for the recognition and financial security (life long pension + benefits) that accompanies a mayor’s position.
And when her mayoral tenure is over, rest assured you will see her on all the TV channels commenting as an expert commentator, despite the only expertise she has is her own self promotion.

But the bottom line is that the voter’s are really the one to blame – yet once again – for electing her. In their stupidity they voted for someone because …….?
Well, for black voters, it was because of her skin color; that pretty much sums it up.
For white liberal progressives, it was because she is a lefty and black; the perfect combination of attributes for any politician (as long as the white liberal progressives do not have to live anywhere near black people).

White: 33% should, 51% should not
Black: 14% should, 75% should not

In other words black people were *more* opposed than whites to defunding the police, by a wide margin. And this in the city where George Floyd was “murdered” and became ground zero for the anti-police riots and looting of 2020.

If blacks can now start connecting this all to the Democrat party we may start getting somewhere. There is some indication of this happening but not enough, yet.

However, many blacks openly mock whites, Jews and Asians. They freely talk in stereotypes about them.

But now we have a situation where most, major black cities and/or sections of cities are run, and have been run, mostly by black politicians and chiefs of police for years, if not decades. And black citizens are learning this is not fixing the problems in their communities. Not only that, continuing to blame the problems on “racism” or “whites” is not only ineffectual, it has no basis in fact. If the Mayor, the AG, the DA, the Public Defenders, the Police Chief and 2/3 of the police force are all black, how is racism the cause of the disparities one sees in these communities?

And, of course, many black people are speaking out about the realities of what is going on; Larry Elder, Candace Owens, Shaquille O’Neal… It may be pollyanna’ish of me, but I’m guardedly optimistic we may be living through the last, major vestige of racism in our nation, and, like the awfulness of reconstruction and the race riots of the ’60s, this is the process we have to go through to root it out.

North Michigan Avenue, and the Loop, are a ghost town. I have been a few times this year, as recently as a month ago, and it is very, very strange. For what its worth, I would feel safe going to the Art Institute. I took a train to the Field Museum during the day and felt safe. But it was eerie how few people were around. All the vendor’s carts were unoccupied and covered with tarps. Almost no one at the Lake front on a gorgeous, late summer’s day.

Oddly, the restaurants were busy. I guess the folks who live in the area are still going out to eat.

By the way, I don’t think I’d live in Beverly these days. I hope your sister remains safe.
