Can Chicago fix itself?

 Newsmax:

President Donald Trump issued another warning to Illinois Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker: Fix the violent crime "fast, or we're coming" with federal forces.

"Six people were killed, and 24 people were shot in Chicago last weekend, and JB Pritzker, the weak and pathetic governor of Illinois, just said he doesn't need help in preventing crime," Trump wrote Saturday evening in a Truth Social post.

"He is crazy!!! He better straighten it out, FAST, or we're coming! MAGA. President DJT."

The mayor directed all city departments to guard the constitutional rights of Chicago residents "amidst the possibility of imminent militarized immigration or National Guard deployment by the federal government."

When asked during a news conference about federal agents who are presumably "taking orders," Johnson replied: "Yeah, and I don't take orders from the federal government."

Johnson also blocked Chicago police from wearing face coverings to hide their identities, as most federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have adopted since the Trump administration took charge this year.

The federal surge into Chicago could start as early as Friday and last about 30 days, according to two U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss plans that had not been made public.

The officials described the immigration crackdown as part of a larger effort to expand the federal law enforcement presence in major Democrat-run cities, as it did this summer in Los Angeles.

"DC is virtually, in just 14 days, a crime free zone," Trump wrote in an ensuing Truth Social post on Saturday. "The people living and working there are ecstatic!!! President DJT."
...

If Pritzker and local politicians were up to the task, they would have already done it.  Chicago needs to increase its force-to-space ratio, the way DC did with the help of Trump, in order to reduce crime.

Vote against Democrat boondoggle 'stimulus'

James Freeman: President Obama's $825 billion (and counting) "stimulus" is steamrolling through Congress. One group of conservative Republicans is betting that it will only worsen the country's economic plight. That's where the House Republican Study Committee comes in. "No Trillion Dollar Spending Spree" is the message from this conservative caucus. Led by its new chairman, Rep. Tom Price of Georgia, the RSC now counts more than 100 House Republicans among its members. Mr. Price calls the Democrats' proposal "the non-stimulus plan" and says it "simply won't work" because it offers no market incentives to create jobs. What the plan does offer are multibillion-dollar gifts to state governments, teachers unions, and the environmental lobby, with such gems as a $6 billion program to "weatherize modest-income homes." In contrast, Mr. Price and company have drawn up their own plan, the "Economic Recovery and Middle...

Obamagate, The Movie

WND: The Irish-born filmmaking couple Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinny are known for their film  "Gosnell,"  which exposed the seamy underside of the abortion industry by turning transcripts and evidence from the trial of the Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell into a cinematic drama. Now, in yet another effort to counter a conventional narrative with first-hand evidence, they're about to release  "Obamagate: The Movie,"  showing how the Obama administration tried to take down Donald Trump.They turned gripping testimony from the 2014 Michael Brown case into a play, called  "Ferguson."   And lately they did the same with the infamous texts of FBI agent Peter Strzok and bureau lawyer Lisa Page in  "FBI Lovebirds: Undercovers,"  starring Dean Cain and Kristy Swanson. "We would be unemployed if the media did its job," McAleer told WND in an interview. "They're not reporting spin anymore," he said of the establ...
