From the "change... Shicago.. we'll see"?" department - Former federal prosecutor Lori Lightfoot defeated a longtime political insider Tuesday to become Chicago's next mayor, * Lightfoot, who had never been elected to public office, easily defeated Toni Preckwinkle, who served in the City Council for 19 years before becoming Cook County Board president. Preckwinkle also is chairwoman of the county Democratic Party. * Lightfoot promised to rid City Hall of corruption and help low-income and working-class people she said had been "left behind and ignored" by Chicago's political ruling class. It was a message that resonated with voters weary of political scandal and insider deals" -- Hmmm .. so Democrats voters voted against the head of he Shicago Democratic Party chairperson. Apparently, the "drain the swamp" message of Trump is taking hold across the country..

Speaking of "draining the swamp"...Online story: "The U.S. Justice Department said on Tuesday it had charged the chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party, Robert "Robin" Hayes, and a major political donor in a corruption scheme that targeted a state official. * According to an indictment unsealed on Tuesday, Hayes worked with business executive Greg Lindberg to bribe state insurance commissioner Mike Causey. * Causey reported the effort to law enforcement officials and cooperated in the investigation, authorities say. * The two men, along with insurance executives John Gray, 68, and John Palermo, 63, were charged with bribery and conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud." -- What a tribute to President Trump! He promised to "drain the swamp", and is doing so regardless of the political angst of either Republicans or Democrats! Trump 2020!

Online headline/story: "Jussie Smollett case outcome raises questions of celebrity justice * Arewa Karen Winters, a Black Lives Matter activist whose nephew was killed by Chicago police in 2016, said she was “appalled” by the decision. * “I never thought I would agree with the Chicago Police Department on anything,” she said. “I think it’s elitism, and it’s black privilege. If he had been Ray-Ray in the ’hood, he would have been looking at some jail time.” -- Wow! BLM finally gets some credit from me! Just hope this is a wake up call for BLM that people of all color matter and will band together to fight injustice.. Smollett's concession of his bail money prove his guilt.. no truly innocent person would have forfeited that money..

From the "common sense" department - Online story: "One evangelical preacher is supporting Trump’s border wall dream and using the Bible to support it, even claiming that heaven itself will have a wall around it. * Pastor of First Baptist Dallas Church in Texas, Robert Jeffress has been a huge supporter of Trump * “The Bible says even Heaven itself is gonna have a wall around it,” Jeffress stated on the show. “Not everybody is going to be allowed in. So if walls are immoral, then God is immoral.” -- Even the Pearly Gates need a wall to be attached to ...Now, entry is easy... just honestly accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, and the gates will be opened.

What is it with MSM-13 that it hasn't delved into an obvious question? A suspect has been identified in the murder of rapper Nipsey Hussle in Los Angeles.. The killer has been identified as Eric Holder, age 29.. You know when a suspect has the same name as a former US Attorney General, I would think even MSM-13 might be curious enough to wonder if there is a connection, and when you look up images of the 29 year old, and see that there is a noticeable resemblance..and the age difference (69 and 29) fit in to scale, the question of relationship jumps out at you..

From the "DOH!" department - Online headline/story: "Manhattan real-estate sales just booked their worst first quarter since the financial crisis * Sales slid 2.7% to the fewest since the period between January and March since 2009, according to a report released Tuesday by Douglas Elliman Real Estate, a brokerage company in New York City." -- Good grief! I imagine so after all the wealthy in NYC are running as fast as they can to escape the Socialistic ways and taxes of Mayor de Bl@sio and promises of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

It kills me the way that MSM-13 reports Trumps moves.. Today's headline reads "Trump eases up on border shutdown threat". What it h=fails to say is that Trump is a good negotiator. Trump knows that when making a deal, and the other side shows some willingness to concede a bit, Trump will encourage the other side by saying "I hear you, were getting closer, and I want you to know I will work with you." This is what works.. not stonewalling.

The Dem Spinmeisters on Fox are worse than the politicians they shill for.. one went do far to say one of Biden's peccadilloes happened way back in 2009 should not be an issue.. she felt a lot differently about unsupported claims against Judge Kavanaugh being exacerbated over unsubstantiated acts that purportedly occurred in the early 1980s when he was in high school.

Online headline: "Barbara Bush didn’t consider herself Republican, blamed Trump for ‘heart attack,’ new book says" -- For good reason, too.. after seeing Trump in action, there was no way to describe any of the Bushes as Republicans.

From the Socialist-Democrat's concept of government at work" department - There's another story relegated to obscurity by the Jussie Smollett debacle in Shicago..the plight of the Venezuelan citizens under the thumb of Maduro.. Now Maduro has ordered a travel ban on Guaido, and is wanting to strip him of his prosecutorial immunity.. These are straight out of the Marxist playbook revered by the US Democrat Party.

It's ironic..Trump says he has a better healthcare plan to propose than ObamaCare ever was, but won't introduce until 2020 because House Democrats will not pass it.. You'll also notice that Democrats, while bemoaning the demise of ObamaCare, have all but abandoned it by pushing for "Medicare for All" versus trying to fix ObamaCare. Trump and Republicans should campaign in 2020 based on a promised that with the new Republican Healthcare Act, your favorite old doctors will welcome you back.

 

---
The Democrat mantra is.. In a word.. pathetic.. The only issue that seems important to the Democrat leadership is finding a candidate that can beat Trump, yet there's no discussion emphasizing ...spelling out... a plan that most Americans would respond to with their votes of confidence.

Online headline: "Meghan McCain tweets support for Joe Biden, calls him 'truly decent and compassionate" -- Good grief...now we KNOW she has an issue with white white headed old men.

Online story: "Minor league baseball is known for wild promotions, cheap food and zany mascots -- and more than a few teams have another memorable feature: a great name. * The Biloxi Shuckers season starts April 4 against the Birmingham Barons, and they will host the 2019 Southern League All-Star Game on June 18." -- You know.. the Birmingham Barons use to play our Columbus teams years ago.. and they are still hitting away. And Columbus teams had some great names as well.. watched them as The "Foxes", the "Confederate Yankees, the "Astros", the "Mudcats", the Red Stixx" up until Council killed of minor league baseball by screwing up Golden Park for softball. Then some inconsequential seasons of the "Catfish" (still have a baseball signed by "Hook" from a game I took my daughter) and "Sand Gnats" But detriment all began with the decision to renovate Golden Park into a softball facility for a one time bust event.. Charlie Morrow's team was relegated .. not just to left field, but in foul territory near left field..It was convenient to have a nice college program, but a college setting just was not good for minor league baseball. Now we have a further decaying structure on our hands that can not be removed for other ideas.. guess Council i waiting until 2042 when Golden Park hits the 47 year mark from it's overhaul for the 1996 Olympics and will self-destruct..

Online headline/story: "Georgia legislators pushing to repeal death penalty * A bipartisan group of Georgia legislators have introduced a bill in the state House of Representatives to repeal the death penalty. * House Bill 702 was introduced on Thursday, March 29 Republican Rep. Brett Harrell, of Snellville. Backers of the bill include Democrats Scott Holcomb, William Boddie, Robert Trammel, and Republicans Scott Turner and Bill Werkheiser. * "First, evidence has shown that it's really not a deterrent to violent crime," Harrell said, adding that "death cases typically cost three times what it would cost to sentence someone to life without parole."" -- Bipartisan... NOT! MSM-13 just can't resist calling 3 RINOs a bipartisan movement! But, to claim the death penalty is not a deterrent nor cost effective is not the fault of the sentence.. what we need is prompt enforcement of the death sentence so "natural death by old age" does not come into play!

From the "really think about this" department - Online headline/story: "British ISIS Bride admits she was 'brainwashed' into believing ISIS, hopes for second chance * British ISIS bride Shamima Begum admitted that she’s unlikely to come back to Britain after the government revoked her citizenship, but insisted that the terror group “brainwashed” her." -- Good grief.. why would Britain WANT anybody to come in under any circumstances that freely admits he/she has been brainwashed in the ways of Islamic terrorism?

Online headline: "Rep. Ilhan Omar probed for allegedly spending $6,000 of campaign funds on divorce attorney, personal travel" -- Good grief.. if she'd been married to me, I'd have gladly paid her expenses to expedite a divorce!
