People laughed when I told them that whoever replaced Mayor Lori Lightfoot would be ten times worse. They have trouble believing that whoever replaces Mayor Eric Adams in New York City will be a thousand times worse. But at least when it comes to Chicago, seeing and hearing is believing.
Mayor Brandon Johnson, with an approval rating lower than Al Capone’s, fresh off ensuring a pro-Hamas resolution, replied to a question about the border crisis by explaining that he’s a very busy man.
“Do you understand, you have not had a mayor like me? I get that!”
"I'M DOING ALL THIS WITH A BLACK WIFE RAISING 3 BLACK KIDS!!!""

Chicago has never had a mayor like Mayor Johnson who is running the city into the ground while raising three black kids with a black wife.
There are mayors all over the country, black and white who are raising kids while doing their jobs, but the whole point of identity politics is being able to act like a victim all the time. Johnson stops short of shouting about “unpaid emotional labor” (he’s not Gen Z anyway) but we are expected to view a powerful government official as both a victim and yet heroic for having not only kids, but black kids, and still managing to show up for work.
He’ll get to this border thing at some point, but really his life is so much more important than yours because, you see, he’s raising three black kids with a black wife, which you couldn’t possibly understand anyway.
Come back Lori, almost all is forgiven.

There are some authors, e.g. Thomas Sowell, whose columns I immediately click to read because of their insights coupled with an entertaining writing style. Daniel Greenfield is one of those writers.
The race card long ago became the joker in the deck and it deserves to be mocked in an entertaining way.
I will give Mayor Johnson a participation trophy for actually helping to raise his children. How much better would Chicago and the U.S. be if more men did so? Bad Lies Matter might not think the nuclear family is the best way for a child to be raised, but common sense and a tsunami of evidence demonstrates otherwise.
Thanks. That’s high praise.
Single parenthood is at the root of much of our crises, but it’s one of those things we can’t discuss because destroying the family is also at the root of the leftist agenda.
Single parenthood is another LBJ/democrat gift from the 1960s. I saw that locally.
Single parenthood is evil. It rewards women for depriving their sons of fathers.
Every child needs a father.
I understand the name Chicago is based upon the Indian word for Skunk, Bad Smell sounds appropiate
He’s got a black wife, and he’s coplaining about having three black kids? What was he hoping for, Asians? This science thing really confuses democrats.
He’s fighting concentration camp, communist gulag level oppression everyday not only for himself, but think how incredibly hard it is to raise yourself when the ceiling is to a level of little more than a slave and have to bear the burden yourself and protect your wife and kids from it at the same time? It is heroic! Every black faces this and needs to be pissed about everything all the time.
This towering thinker needs more time at home, so let him resign already.
Johnson can raise a family and be an effective mayor but only if he walks away from being the ideology of being a perpetual victim.
The bad policies, rampant crime and chaos in American cities is a very deliberate strategy of the left. They create corruption, crime and chaos as a means of staying in power, it is basically a template they use now and is repeated over and over again, as Daniel says. The Dems finally graduated to the national level with Biden, masking the corruption of every government institution, lawlessness and deflection of blame with incompetence.
Is this the mayor that has been treated in the ER for panic disorder? He is overwhelmed.
Great screen grab of the sign language lady, lol. She could translate brandon’s whole speech with just a panoramic double bird to the audience. Sounds like he needs to retire from public office “to spend more time with his family,” as they used to say..
