It seems like only yesterday that we were talking about the government taking over other sections of the economy now that the New Mexico governor went full Hitler last Friday. One area that was mentioned was food. Now the mayor of Chicago wants to open city-owned grocery stores. What could possibly go wrong?
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) is looking into opening taxpayer-funded, city-owned grocery stores in areas in which businesses have pulled out due to rampant crime. Sounds like another government-funded boondoggle for those who have good connections to the Mayor and his cronies.
Johnson claimed his administration is “committed to advancing innovative, whole-of-government approaches to address these inequities.”
The problem here is rampant crime. The solution is simple. Hold those people accountable who engage in such criminal activity.
Speaking of boondoggles, a Washington State program designed to close down tent communities and get homeless people into housing has already spent $143 million dollars to house less than a thousand people. Those numbers mean that the state has spent more than $143,000 per person to house them. That’s a horrible ratio.
Perhaps they should apply for the $100 billion sent to Ukraine.
Fani Willis lost a battle in court. Willis is the District Attorney who filed the made-up charges in Georgia against PDJT and 18 others. There are an additional 30 unidentified, unindicted “co-conspirators.”
Willis wanted to try all 19 defendants together. Lawyers Sydney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro requested the speedy trial option which is their right under Georgia law. Willis simply isn’t prepared for trial so putting all 18 co-defendants in the meat grinder at once – with Trump – would be the easiest route.
Willis isn’t prepared because she was told in no uncertain terms to file the indictments on short notice to deflect the public’s attention away from all the evil surrounding the Democrats and Joe Biden in Washington.
A Georgia judge rejected Willis’ request to try all the defendants together. The speedy trial option for Powell and Chesebro will go forward while the remainder will be scheduled later. I suspect there will be more such severances in the future.
