Lightfoot: “I Haven’t Seen This Sh*t Before”
A conference call was held by Lighfoot with all 50 Chicago Alderman to address the recent wave of Black Lives Matter riots in the city, but the audio from the call was subsequently leaked, revealing the council members and Lightfoot are, to put it lightly, not handling the situation well!
Here are a few highlights of the call for your reading pleasure:
Lightfoot said that Alderman Raymond Lopez was “one hundred percent full of sh*t,” after he warned that there are “gang-bangers with AK-47s walking around right now, just waiting to settle some score.” Lopez snapped back, telling Lightfoot quite succintly, “f**k you!”
“I just want to say, and I just want to tell you guys, my ward is a sh*t show. It’s cop cars burning, banks burning, we had to put the bridges up,” Alderman Susan Sadlowski Garza told the other members of the call. “I want to tell you, this kicked off this morning at 11 o’clock, it wasn’t a protest, it wasn’t anything like that. It was about 40 people that showed up in the dispensary lot, a dispensary most of you guys know it’s like getting in Fort Knox in there.”
“I saw at 111th and Michigan, a huge crowd gathered outside a clothing store, had to be 30 or 40 people, dude with a sledgehammer, a sledgehammer, trying to break through the metal barricade so people could loot,” Mayor Lighfoot said. “I don’t know about you but I haven’t seen this sh*t before. Not in Chicago.”
Alderman Lopez said that Chicago was “just like a war zone right now,” adding that “the gang members are now getting involved, walking around with AK-47s, threatening to shoot, I hate to say it, black people.”
Multiple Aldermen noted that the situation was so bad, that 911 wasn’t even answering their phones anymore.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-10--Barr Says Big Democrat Fish May Be Hooked In Durham Probe

In an interview with Fox News that aired on Tuesday , U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr hinted that very big Democrat names , though not the biggest , could be mentioned in the probe by Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham focusing on 2016 Obama regime actions relating to the Trump campaign .
Barr said that the DOJ was “ looking at ” figures who were familiar to the public , though not at the level of Joe Biden or Barack Obama .
The AG told Fox , “ I think before the election , I think we ’ re concerned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aggressive investigation that was launched into the Trump campaign without , you know , with a very thin , slender reed as a basis for it .
It seemed that the bureau was sort of spring-loaded at the end of July to drive in there and investigate a campaign… We can ’ t discuss future charges .
But I have to say that I do find it a little irritating .
You know , the propensity in the American public on all sides of the political spectrum when they see something they think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say , why hasn ’ t this person been indicted again ?
And , you know , there ’ s the old saying that the wheels of justice grind slow and they do run slow because we have due process and we follow the process .
But people should not draw from the fact that no action has been taken yet , that that means that people are going to get away with wrongdoing.
” Many Americans have shown impatience with various DOJ probes that seem to go slow and bear no fruit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may be different : “ For the first time in American history , police organizations and the national security organizations were used to spy on a campaign , and there was no basis for it .
The media largely drove that — and all kinds of sensational claims were being made about the president that could have affected the election .
And then later on , in his administration , there were actions taken that really appear to be efforts to sabotage his campaign .
And that has to be looked at .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ m political because I am looking at those potential abuses of power , so be it .
But that ’ s the job of the attorney general.
” Barr has a point , as an effort by a lame duck president to investigate the nominee of the opposing party is unheard of even in the dirtiest annals of American political history .
But such was the Left ’ s ( and the Obama regime ’ s ) well-founded fear of a Trump victory that all law and ethics were thrown out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ’ s ascension to the White House .
As in so much else , they failed at that as well .
Barr also spoke of the Flynn case and how prosecutors handled it : “ They seem to have ignored all the exculpatory evidence that was building up and continued pell-mell to push it forward .
So that ’ s one area of concern .
The other area of concern is that after the election , even though they were closing down some of that , as we ’ ve seen in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s nothing here , for some reason , they went right back at it , even at a time where the evidentiary support or claim support , like the dossier , was falling apart .
And it ’ s very hard to understand why they continued to push and even make public testimony that they had an investigation going when it was becoming painfully obvious or should have been obvious to anyone that there was nothing there.
” The smart money in DC says the Durham probe will come to a head @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to give it traction and make it an issue in the fall election .
If that happens , the advantage in November will further shift to Trump and the GOP .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-10--Derek Chauvin And George Floyd Knew Each Other And ‘Bumped Heads,’ Says Former Coworker At Nightclub

Shortly after the death of George Floyd , it was revealed that he had previously worked with now-former Officer Derek Chauvin , who infamously kneeled on his neck before he died .
Both Floyd and Chauvin were employed at a nightclub in Minneapolis , Minnesota .
Now , a former co-worker of the two men at the club is speaking out to reveal that they did not always get along .
David Pinney told CBS News that Chauvin and Floyd “ bumped heads , ” with their disagreements having “ a lot to do with Derek being extremely aggressive within @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which was an issue.
” Lawyers representing the Floyd family have been pushing for Chauvin to be charged with first degree murder “ because we believe he knew who George Floyd was.
” “ Is there any doubt in your mind that Derek Chauvin knew George Floyd ?
” CBS News hosts asked Pinney , to which he replied , “ No .
He knew him.
” When asked to clarify how well he thinks Chauvin knew him , Pinney responded , “ I would say pretty well.
” Maya Santamaria , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where both men worked , explained that she had been paying Chauvin to sit outside the El Nuevo Rodeo in his squad car when he was off-duty , a working contract that lasted for 17 years .
Meanwhile , Floyd worked security outside the nightclub last year , and she specifically recalled them both working on Tuesday nights at the same time .
“ Do you think Derek had a problem with black people ?
” CBS News asked .
“ I think he was afraid and intimidated , ” Santamaria responded .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ News clarified , to which Santamaria said , “ Yeah.
” Benjamin Crump has cited this nightclub connection as evidence that Chauvin held Floyd down with “ an intentional will to do bodily harm.
” “ They had an overlap , ” the lawyer said .
“ And so that is going to be an interesting aspect to this case and hopefully upgrading these charges to first-degree murder because we believe he knew who George Floyd was.

Both Floyd and Chauvin were employed at a nightclub in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Now, a former co-worker of the two men at the club is speaking out to reveal that they did not always get along.
David Pinney told CBS News that Chauvin and Floyd “bumped heads,” with their disagreements having “a lot to do with Derek being extremely aggressive within the club with some of the patrons, which was an issue.” Lawyers representing the Floyd family have been pushing for Chauvin to be charged with first degree murder “because we believe he knew who George Floyd was.”
“Is there any doubt in your mind that Derek Chauvin knew George Floyd?” CBS News hosts asked Pinney, to which he replied, “No. He knew him.” When asked to clarify how well he thinks Chauvin knew him, Pinney responded, “I would say pretty well.”
Maya Santamaria, who was the owner of the nightclub where both men worked, explained that she had been paying Chauvin to sit outside the El Nuevo Rodeo in his squad car when he was off-duty, a working contract that lasted for 17 years. Meanwhile, Floyd worked security outside the nightclub last year, and she specifically recalled them both working on Tuesday nights at the same time.
“Do you think Derek had a problem with black people?” CBS News asked. “I think he was afraid and intimidated,” Santamaria responded. “By black folks?” CBS News clarified, to which Santamaria said, “Yeah.” Benjamin Crump has cited this nightclub connection as evidence that Chauvin held Floyd down with “an intentional will to do bodily harm.”
The police were supposed to protect and serve George Floyd. They FAILED. Now I’m calling for first-degree murder charges in the police-involved killing of #GeorgeFloyd. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMattter pic.twitter.com/CI0W3QIz9N — Ben Crump (@AttorneyCrump) June 7, 2020
“They had an overlap,” the lawyer said. “And so that is going to be an interesting aspect to this case and hopefully upgrading these charges to first-degree murder because we believe he knew who George Floyd was.”

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-10--Jeb Bush’s Son Is Voting For Trump And His Reason Should Shame Every Republican Who Isn’t

George P. Bush , the son of former Florida governor Jeb Bush , has declared his intention to vote for President Trump in the upcoming election .
The news comes as several prominent Republican figures have reportedly either expressed no support for Trump , or have said flat-out that they would vote against him .
What makes Bush ’ s endorsement so interesting is the very simple reason why he stands behind the President , and why every true conservative and/or Republican should as well .
“ President Trump is the only thing standing between America and socialism , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can be no doubt .
Please clap for Jeb ’ s son .
It may come as a bit of a surprise to hear Jeb ’ s son come out on the same side as a man who ridiculed his father as low-energy and has taken several swipes at his uncle , former President George W. Bush .
But , if ever there were a bottom line , his statement is it .
America will slide towards socialism if Joe Biden wins the election and is yanked in every direction imaginable by people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the AOCs , etc .
– who despise America in its current form .
The younger Bush also reminds voters that , well , ‘ It ’ s the economy , stupid , ’ all over again .
“ Even in a global pandemic where we have had to take unprecedented measures to protect public health , the economy is already returning , ” George P. told the Dallas Morning News .
“ It ’ s clear , America and Texas will continue to be stronger than ever.
” RELATED : George @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : ‘ When Has America Ever Been Great ?
’ If you don ’ t believe George P. Bush , then maybe you ’ ll believe communist Cuba when they say they too , support Biden .
“ If the Republicans win … it ’ s a very negative scenario , ” said Carlos Fernandez de Cossio , a senior Cuban official .
And Joe , who comes from an administration who tried to appease Cuba ’ s human rights abusers , has yet to publicly disavow their government ’ s support for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden named Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , two unabashed socialists and supporters of leftist dictatorships , to lead his policy agenda .
Meanwhile , former Secretary of State Colin Powell announced that he will not be voting for President Trump in November ’ s general election and recent reports have suggested former president Bush will not be voting for him as well .
If you ’ re not voting for Trump , you ’ re voting to dismantle America as we know it .

But, if ever there were a bottom line, his statement is it. America will slide towards socialism if Joe Biden wins the election and is yanked in every direction imaginable by people in his administration – the Elizabeth Warrens, the AOCs, etc. – who despise America in its current form.
The younger Bush also reminds voters that, well, ‘It’s the economy, stupid,’ all over again.
“Even in a global pandemic where we have had to take unprecedented measures to protect public health, the economy is already returning,” George P. told the Dallas Morning News. “It’s clear, America and Texas will continue to be stronger than ever.”

CNN has just been given a major award in journalism for the network ’ s controversial 2019 filming of the FBI raid and arrest of Roger Stone , a close friend and longtime associate of President Donald Trump .
White House Correspondents ’ Association announced that the award for journalism was given to CNN on Tuesday .

Then an odd , packed suitcase wheeled by one of the prosecutors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investigation of Stone , ” the WHCA judges said of CNN ‘ s report .
“ It culminated early in the morning of Jan. 25 , 2019 , when a CNN producer and a photojournalist , staked outside of Stone ’ s home in Ft. Lauderdale , captured the 5 a.m. , no-knock raid by the FBI of the former confidant of President Donald Trump.
” Many social media users , however , have disagreed that CNN deserved any kind of journalistic award for their reporting on this , as rumors have long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about Stone ’ s arrest by someone working in the government who wanted to hurt the president .
President Trump led the charge on pushing this theory when the report came out in January of 2019 .

Who alerted CNN to be there ?
” Trump tweeted .
A CNN reporter denied that the network was tipped off , instead claiming that it was a reporter ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unusual grand jury activity in Washington , D.C. ” that led reporters to go to Stone ’ s home when he was being arrested .
Many , however , have never bought this , including Stone .

“No, I don’t support defunding the police,” Biden said during an interview with “CBS Evening News.” “I support conditioning federal aid to police based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency and honorableness and, in fact, are able to demonstrate they can protect the community.”

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Monday that President Trump “is appalled by the defund the police movement. And when you think the Left has gone far, and they couldn’t possibly go farther, because we all remember the defund ICE movement, and now they want to defund the police.”
“This is extraordinary,” she added.


thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-10--Radical Protester Tells Cops To Commit Suicide – Seattle City Councilwoman Justifies His Sentiments

Seattle City Councilwoman Teresa Mosqueda posted a live video on Facebook , knowing it contained vicious anti-Seattle Police Department ( SPD ) excrement , including a threat from a piece of filth in the crowd , bellowing through a bullhorn at cops protecting their precinct .
He vomited , “ SPD , I need you to do me a favor .
Take your guns , put them onto your chins , and pull the trigger , ” the man yelled .
“ I need you to kill yourselves .
That ’ s your only redemption .
Go ahead , save @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and *****ing kill yourselves .
Did I stutter ?
I said , ‘ k-k-k-kill yourselves [ emphasis mine ] . '
” The lunatic emphasized , “ ****ing kill yourselves .
It ’ s the only chance you have to do something good for the world and that ’ s remove yourselves from it.
” Jason Rantz , for mynorthwest.com , wrote that at the sometimes violent protests , Councilwoman Mosqueda remarked about the vermin ’ s threats and told the crowd “ The anger you hear is justified.
” Did she miss @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , if they didn ’ t draw their guns and blow their own heads off ?
Did she miss that ?
The city ’ s voters have packed the Seattle City Council with anti-police radical socialists .
But , not to be outdone , King County Councilman Girmay Zahilay was also there and said , “ I ’ ve seen nothing but peaceful protesters out here.
” Apparently , threatening to kill cops is now peaceful .
Then , turning himself into a caricature , he uttered these reassuring words to police .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ American people .
We do not forgive , we do not forget .
Expect us.
” Expect us ?
Another threat ?
City Councilman Dan Strauss decried the “ weapons of war ” on our streets against our residents .
Rantz pointed out police used no weapons on the demonstrators during that protest .
However , as Strauss also described them , the “ peaceful ” protesters “ threw rocks , bottles and incendiary devices at police , sending two [ officers ] to the hospital.
” Shamefully , city leaders ordered police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Councilwoman Mosqueda announced her “ demands ” on Twitter : She followed that up with this oh-so responsible statement : “ The police are rooted in violence against Black people .
In order to protect Black lives , this moment calls for investing in and expanding our safety and well-being beyond policing.
” Never has the trite idiom “ the inmates are running the asylum ” fit a group of political whackos so well .
As Rantz alludes to in his closing , Councilwoman Mosqueda tweeted a list of demands that infers she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is holding hostages .
The good residents of Seattle who deserve better than this city council .
Then again , they ’ re the ones who keep voting for these lunatic leaders .
Four of them pictured in the Twitter post below ( Seattle City Councilmembers Andrew Lewis , Lisa Herbold , Dan Strauss , Teresa Mosqueda , and State Rep. Nicole Macri ) adorned the requisite virtue-signaling face masks and nestled amongst the anti-police throng .
You know , the throng which includes the man with a megaphone who told cops to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” wouldn ’ t have to do it .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-10--Trump ‘Dominance Of The Streets’ Strategy Works, National Guard Pulling Out

While Democrats and others dithered , President Donald Trump urged governors and mayors to deploy National Guard troops on their streets to stop the rampant violence , looting , arson , and vandalism that typified the George Floyd riots .
Taking his counsel , governors and mayors in more than two dozen states activated the National Guard to respond to the violent riots .
Now , a week later , the situation is returning to normal and much of the National Guard stationed on DC streets , in one of the biggest military operations to secure the capitol since the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home .
“ The streets of America didn ’ t spontaneously become peaceful last week , ” White House Director of Strategic Communications Alyssa Farrah told the press on Tuesday .
“ It was a direct result of President Trump calling on governors and mayors to surge the National Guard in their states and restore law and order on America ’ s streets so that peaceful protesters could demonstrate safely… Juxtapose Washington , D.C. two weekends ago , when there was widespread vandalism , property damage , and arson with this past weekend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That is precisely because President Trump took decisive action to secure the streets of our nation ’ s capitol and restore law and order.
” The president himself tweeted Sunday , “ I have just given an order for our National Guard to start the process of withdrawing from Washington , D.C. , now that everything is under perfect control .
They will be going home , but can quickly return , if needed .
Far fewer protesters showed up last night than anticipated !
” The National Guard saw its greatest deployment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Pentagon statistics .
The military said there will be a “ very steady decline ” in the coming days as states “ out-process ” those National Guard forces on duty .
As of Tuesday , according to a Pentagon official , 38,498 National Guard soldiers were still active nationwide .
That is a decline from the 43,300 active all over the country on Saturday .
It ’ s being leaked to the press that National Guard troops from Tennessee and South Carolina are pulling out of Washington , D.C. on Tuesday , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are leaving the nation ’ s capital on Wednesday .
A Pentagon officer who has cozy relations with the press said Idaho was the last out-of-state unit sent to support D.C. At the height of the crisis , more than 5,000 National Guard troops from 11 states and D.C. supported the mission of taking back the streets from D.C. rioters .
To calm the situation and defuse the president ’ s wish to deploy active-duty Army troops to DC , Defense Secretary Mark Esper ’ s office has leaked to Fox News that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as many National Guard forces as possible into cities across the country so that active-duty troops would not be necessary.
” That ’ s not the kind of bureaucratic self preservation Trump usually takes very kindly to .
Attorney General Bill Barr is more of a team player : “ As President Trump has made clear , the American people – including peaceful protesters – deserve law and order , not chaos and fear .
At the president ’ s direction , federal law enforcement agencies have worked closely with local police and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ D.C. , to restore the rule of law .
The difference between last Monday and this Monday is night and day.
” Barr also said that Team Trump would “ continue working to keep the nation ’ s capital safe ” and “ will continue to actively pursue the forces of disorder trying to hijack this moment to sow anarchy and violence elsewhere in the country .
American society depends on the rule of law , and the rule of law will prevail.

‘America’s Got Talent’ Host Terry Crews Hit With Backlash After Tweet Calling For Inclusion While Fighting Racism

In an unexpected turn of events Terry Crews has become a voice of reason among the current chaos .
Crews took to Twitter on Sunday to say “ defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy .
Equality is the truth .
Like it or not , we are all in this together.
” Crews has received a barrage of hateful comments since Sunday , with people claiming the statement is anti-black and “ self hating.
” In an even more impressive stand for reason , Crews reaffirmed his claim , replying “ that ’ s not what I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” It seems Crews has taken the backbone Drew Brees tossed into the trash .
In an effort to explain his intentions Crews stated “ there are ‘ gatekeepers of Blackness ’ within our own community who decide who ’ s black and who ’ s not .
I have often been called out for not being ‘ black enough.
’ How can that be ?
” This comment brings up memories of Joe Biden ’ s racist “ you ain ’ t black ” blunder .
Could this be what he is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Crews tweeted “ any Black person who calls me a coon or and Uncle Tom for promoting EQUALITY is a Black Supremist.
” He continued that this is “ because they have determined who ’ s Black and who is not.
” Again , an eerie call back to Biden ’ s infamous remark .
Crews quickly got fed up with the stream of insults and took to Twitter to give his final thoughts .
In his last tweet on the subject , Crews stated , “ I believe it is important @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s obvious that Crews has grown tired of the Left ’ s continuous stream of repetitive thinking .
One thing is clear : the bold statements made by Crews will not soon be forgotten .
It is amicable of Crews to stick with an unpopular opinion regardless of the backlash .
Hopefully other celebrities will get the message .

‘Daily Show’ Host Trevor Noah Compares Police To Gangs: They’re The Opposite Of ‘What America Is Supposed To Stand For’

“ Daily Show ” host Trevor Noah just launched a truly despicable attack on American police officers , going so far as to compare them to gangs because of the loyalty they have to one another .
During his show on Monday night , Noah talked about the violent riots that have broken out since the death of George Floyd , who died in police custody in Minneapolis , Minnesota last month .
“ Never before in American history has there been an uprising like this , exactly like this , where you have huge numbers of people coming out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state in the country , ” Noah said .
“ With all these protests sweeping across America , people have been comparing this moment to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s .
And much like the 1960s , law enforcement officers have met these calls to end police brutality with even more police brutality.
” Despite the fact that many of the riots across the nation have taken violent turns , with businesses being destroyed and buildings being burned down , Noah said the rioters could not be compared to terrorists .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ about these people screams ‘ terrorist ’ to you ?
” he questioned .
“ Like maybe I have forgotten my history but I don ’ t remember the part where al Qaeda attacked America with cardboard signs.
” “ I don ’ t care who you are , those images have to be upsetting to watch , ” Noah said of videos that show police brutality .
“ Because these images are the antithesis of what America is supposed to stand for .
This is supposed to be the country where you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want .
A democracy .
You can say whatever you want , whether it ’ s ‘ Black Lives Matter ’ or ‘ Let ’ s all drink bleach , ’ the government is not supposed to physically punish you for that.
” Noah concluded his rant by discussing the fact that 57 police officers on the Buffalo police Emergency Response Team all resigned from the unit last weekend , in solidarity with two of their cops who were arrested for pushing an elderly man to the ground .
“ Something I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that in a way , they have the same code that a gang does , ” Noah said .
“ Above all , you are loyal to your crew .
That is a culture that is within every police department.
” “ If good police are willing to look the other way or even join in when the bad police have abused their powers , you can make new rules and regulations all you want but if it won ’ t matter , ” he added .
“ America ’ s not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problem until we have police whose first priority is protecting and serving the people instead of protecting and serving themselves.
” Noah and the rest of the media have been glorifying these violent riots like its their job , choosing to ignore the fact that they are continuing to get more and more violent .
Everyone is in agreement that what happened to Floyd was wrong , but his death is no excuse to spread more violence and anti-police sentiments through the country .
This nonsense has gone way too far , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get hurt and more lives are destroyed .
