I have long been a critic of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who has been a disaster for my home city. From moronic proposed taxes to racist comments, Johnson has brought some of the greatest devastation to the city since the Great Fire. Deeply unpopular, he often uses race-baiting commentary or gimmicks to distract voters. The latest is his chest-pounding press conference where he declared “we are putting ICE on notice in our city.” The threat was that he was ordering the Chicago Police Department to move against ICE in the city. However, even a cursory examination reveals that, as before, there is less than meets the eye in Johnson’s theatrics.
Democratic leaders have jumped the shark on ICE and are now trying to outdo each other with increasingly reckless rhetoric. Gov. Tim Walz declared last week that this was now a “Fort Sumter” moment, alluding to a new civil war. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner promised to “hunt down” ICE officers like “Nazis.”
Rep. Eric Swalwell has promised, if elected governor, he will take away the driver’s licenses of ICE officers and bar them from employment in the state. It is hard to see what else he can promise to take away other than cable and WiFi.
Johnson is not to be out-yelled on this or any other subject.
He signed an executive order Saturday laying the groundwork for the city to investigate and seek prosecution of federal law enforcement officers.
The order, titled “ICE On Notice,” directs members of the Chicago Police Department (CPD) to document alleged illegal activity by federal immigration agents and refer evidence of felony violations to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office for possible prosecution.
He declared that “with today’s order, we are putting ICE on notice in our city. Chicago will not sit idly by while Trump floods federal agents into our communities and terrorizes our residents.”
While it is true that officers do not have absolute immunity, it is highly unlikely that they could be liable for the increased enforcement of immigration laws. Just a day ago, a federal judge and Biden appointee in Minnesota rejected Attorney General Keith Ellison’s demand that federal operations be enjoined in his state. He could not come up with a single claim that the expanded operations were unlawful to sustain the burden for an injunction.
A close examination of the Johnson order shows that it is little more than a directive to the CPD to document any alleged violations. While suggesting that CPD would arrest federal officers, it merely states that they should take statements and preserve any videotapes of alleged violations.
Johnson said the order makes Chicago the first city in the nation to pursue legal accountability for alleged misconduct by federal immigration agents.
That included the alleged game-changing order that police should file “incident reports.” Actual incident reports! ICE officers are presumably fleeing en masse at the very threat of such CPD reports.
I wonder if this crazy Mayor will allow this in his city. I’m betting YES!

OT
FYI Don Lemon,
– Minnesota Law: In the state where the Cities Church incident occurred, Minnesota Statute 609.662 requires a person at the scene of a personal assault to provide reasonable assistance, which includes summoning police or medical help if they can do so without danger to themselves.
– Misprision of Felony: Under 18 U.S. Code § 4, if an individual has knowledge of a federal felony (like a violent civil rights violation), fails to report it, and takes an affirmative step to conceal it, they can be charged with a crime. Prosecutors in the Don Lemon case argue that his use of a hidden microphone and “operational secrecy” constituted concealment.
The Democratic Party’s members are Seditionist’s.
Taking from Ai in part:
“…. Sedition refers to overt conduct, such as speech, or organization, that incites rebellion against established authority. This can include actions that undermine a constitution or incite discontent towards the government.”
The party has been this way for the greater part of my lifetime, and I was subject to their behavior returning from NAM. They in general bad mouth any form of Law Enforcement most always making some absurd claim of harm to justify their dislike, and as of recently applaud assassination of a citizen because they worked for a corporation, murder by an assassin. They make laws out of emotion, {oh you poor soul, I know you’re a low-down scoundrel, but you have every right to grievances from which you came}. The party cares not the least of the public who will be impacted by the emotional laws; just listen to any of the yelps coming from the party’s leadership, their mouths drip with an evil disposition.
More from Ai:
“Types of Sedition: It can manifest as seditious words (spoken), seditious libel (written) or seditious conspiracy (planning).”
How to rid this mentality I haven’t foggiest, I do speak with the young I encounter about the dangers they are being presented as some mystical potion in hopes they will see the light, and not the darkness of the lawless democrats.

There cannot be any doubt; the actual American Founders covered all of this in the establishment of their nation.
Were statutory and fundamental laws broken in a society of laws, in a “democratic” republic of self-governance?
Can that be?

Yes. The Founders were emphatic that it would be incredibly injurious to allow political parties like the Confederate Democrats or totalitarian Marxist/police state fascists like Obama and Biden. It was so inconceivable to them that Americans would allow either of them to exist, that their views as expressed in Madison’s Notes weren’t included in the Constitution.
The overwhelming singular failure of the American republic rights and freedoms experiment has been voters allowing the continued existence of the vile and violent, seditious DNC and their equally vile members like Anonymous, The Racist Democrat Communist Formerly Known As George.
The Democrats who loved Chief Justice Taney telling them their Darkies were just a different breed of farm animal, now attempt to blame the chaos they’ve created on the Supreme Court, not themselves. That would be the Supreme Court that has given them what they couldn’t get at the ballot box.
The Confederate DNC, who have now embraced Marx/Alinsky’s communist strategies since losing the Kluxxer Civil War, now put their fellow communists like Justices Jackson and Sotomayor on SCOTUS, polluting that court in hopes of continuing to get from SCOTUS what voters consistently reject at the ballot box.
And while George/Anonymous and other communist Democrats want to blame SCOTUS – at the same time they howl in delight at the actions of Jackson and Sotomayor that they worked so hard to put on SCOTUS.

Chicago’s police chief sings a different tune.
BRAVO to Police Supt. Snelling. That took guts.
If anyone believes that Nancy Pelosi’s Soviet Democrat political show trials, run under Democrat rules of police state fascism, is thankfully buried… you just have to listen and hear what the wannabe leaders and second tier leaders of their party are publicly saying.
And I thought I was an idiot! Ok. I’m running for Mayor of Chicago.
Just look at the last Mayor they had
Must be something in the water.
MN, IL, CA, are quite a radical-rhetorical contrast with the restraint of other Dem mayors and governors (in Colorado and some other Darkblue States) where calm demeanor and conciliatory language mask their Fed resistance for media and public consumption. Dems in these areas are able to keep their radical Leftist base mostly muzzled, while giving the illusion of steady and mindful leadership for the whiter, wealthier Progressives running and supporting the Local Dem Machine. This strategy of stability makes easier marketing to the Unaffiliated voters of Dems for 2026, while still countering Republicans tied to the optics of MAGA-Trump enforcement of the law and defunding of Fed $$$ to the state budget overspending. This duality of strategy in opposing Trump is intentional, but may also reveal a struggle within Dem leadership nationally for which faction will dominate the party once they seek to rollback the Trumping of America.
LOL
Not funny. He’s right. Everything is transactional and tactical with the Left.
just say that like you did.
IRAN—The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency says it has confirmed the killing of more than 6,300 people since the unrest began in late December, and is investigating another 17,000 reported deaths.
Trump promises military intervention if Iran does not stop the killing and pursues development of nuclear weapons. The boy’s plate is full. Glad I ain’t president.
So if Trumps bombs you will scream. If the doesn’t you will still scream.
So MR Smart what is the best answer?
make me PRESIDENT! DUH!
right back at you
time for the FBI to look at the entire Chicago leadership and their public unions for ILLEGAL activity
Like HELPING illegals!
Does Mayor Johnson really believe that Chicago PD officers are going to burden themselves with incident reports detailing suspicious behavior of ICE and other federal agents? His order will likely show how many Sgt. (“I see nothing!”) Schultz there are in the Chicago PD. He should make a running count of the number of those reports filed available daily.
Vincente,
While I would not assume all PD LEOs are pro-ICE, but I think by official standing as a LEO of the CPD, they cannot voice their opinion on the subject. But, they likely are rolling their eyes or very disappointed even ashamed to have this numbskull their mayor.
I would be willing to bet the same of the Minneapolis PD, and are only following orders as if they did not, they would likely get fired. As it has been noted, some of these Blue ran cities have chronic PD shortages since the whole de-fund the police wave a few years ago.
I have begun to worry that rigged elections are NOT a problem.
Are we as a people really stupid enough to choose leaders like this?
Rigging elections can be fixed; mass stupidity can’t.
The sum of us all is, if we most truly enjoy the gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people; then shall we both deserve and enjoy it. While on the other hand, if we are universally vicious and debauched in our manners, through the form of our Constitution carries the face of the most exhalted freedom, we shall in reality be the most abject slaves.
Sam Adams
Of alldispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these pillars of great human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens…Let it simply be asked, where is the security for property, for reputations, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice.
George Washington
yes it can be fixed.
DEFUND MORON democrats they will fail
END Federal Aid to cities, states, non-profits and colleges
Every Democrat state would fail within months!
The Math of a Minority Mandate:
In the February 2023 first round, only 564,524 Chicagoans cast a ballot—less than 35% of the city’s 1.5 million registered voters. Brandon Johnson advanced with just 122,093 votes, meaning he was the choice of a mere 8% of the electorate.
By the runoff, turnout rose slightly to 612,514 (~40% of registered voters). Johnson secured the mayoralty with 319,481 votes, but the math is sobering: he was elected with the support of only 20% of the total voting population.
A Base Built on Quid Pro Quo:
While those totals might seem “impressive” for a progressive machine operating in a Chicago winter, Johnson’s popularity has since stalled. He has struggled to move beyond his initial base, with approval ratings languishing between 14% and 26%.
The strategy behind these numbers is clear when you look at the labor landscape. Chicago has 30,000 city public union members. When you include voting-age family members, you have a rock-solid bloc of roughly 50,000 voters. As long as Johnson delivers on their specific demands—which he has—this core remains his primary lifeline.
Suppression by Design:
Once you recognize this dynamic, the “progressive city” playbook makes perfect sense. Holding elections in low-turnout, odd-numbered years isn’t a coincidence; it is voter suppression by design. It allows a concentrated, highly organized minority to dictate the direction of the city while the majority stays home.
The irony is palpable: we see massive “Get Out the Vote” drives for presidential cycles, yet these efforts are non-existent for mayoral races. This is despite the fact that city elections are far more consequential to the daily lives of residents than who sits in the White House. The only way to break this cycle is to show up.
Mayor Johnson was a ‘social studies’ teacher in the public school system before getting into politics.
I can only imagine the view of America held and viewed through the eyes and minds of his former students.
Lin
I wonder what grades he taught. That’s usually an indicator of a teacher’s mental prowess and capabilities. The lower the grade the lower the teacher’s skills level, Im betting it was Kindergarten and elementary.
Your view of the teaching profession is ridiculous.
David. Have you pain attention to the last two Mayors?
Yeah, sure David.
What is this mayor’s fall back position when he realizes that he merely gave notice of intent to gum ICE to death? Beyond that, what is the effect on the whole issue of Blue States/Sanctuary Cities if Missouri’s voter dilution suit to cancel and redo the 2020 census, because contaminated with counting illegal aliens, has traction? It is not a slam dunk. Here is the report, with a cite to the link to the Federal District Court Complaint for Declaratory and InjunctiveRelief.https://www.courthousenews.com/missouri-ag-files-suit-to-recount-2020-census-says-her-state-was-robbed-of-a-congressional-seat/
The communist insurrection is now under the impression that Trump has blinked. The rebellion appears to be growing, again. For Johnson, it may be just words, but there’s others in Chicago who, like Pretti, intend to use violence to obstruct.
I was really dismayed when the American people seemed to be blaming ICE for what happened to Pretti. It’s like they were saying, we want illegal criminals removed… just don’t hurt anybody’s feelings.
For all you men out there who were shocked by what happened to Pretti and Good, let me ask you a question: what did they think it would look like??? Arresting bad guys usually looks unpleasant, but somebody has to do it. Confronting lawbreakers will occasionally get someone killed or hurt–frequently cops. That’s the statistics of life.
Let me mansplain something for you Nancy boys. You would have been useless at Gettysburg. You would have been slapped by Patton at the Bulge. MAN UP!
Now thanks to you, the Left is gearing up for more eruptions against federal law enforcement. Nullification of federal law is back on the table. They’re writing a new playbook to confound Homan, and they’ll use it nationwide. There is no substitute for just being tough enough to face an implacable bad guy. Kristi Noem got it. Some of you dudes need to start wearing your ovaries on the outside.
Diogenies, l have a hunch that white House planning to put Ice in motion took in life losses to ICE and citizens and non citizens. DOD stuff. If I’m right, I’ll bet the difference between red states and blue states is glaringly noticeable.
My bad. DOW stuff.
There will be a body count, thanks to the Left pushing obstruction into violence. Our guys can be flexible to counter their tactics, but at the end of the day, WILLPOWER is what wins.
It’s okay with me if Chicago residents want that clown mayor, and if IL residents want their big fat clown governor.
If it doesn’t affect the rest of the country, let those idiot voters live in their chosen cesspool.
But ZERO federal tax dollars should EVER go there until that “sanctuary” status is revoked and their local LEOs are allowed to cooperate with federal LEOs in the pursuit of criminals.
Illegal alien criminals can cross state lines, so it won’t be just an IL cesspool problem.
“Follow the money” usually works, albeit in this case, the money would be cut off.
Democrats are frequently inept, but I have begun to wonder if beyond that there is any black run city in the country that isn’t a mess and in trouble.
Would be interested in a historical correlation of Mayor Johnson’s approach and strategy to that of Merrick Garland and his band of Gestapo etal. who have revived Tammany Hall in power and tactics. Or just by saying these are bad people who are “not good” doe we suborn the reality that no reaction other than “we are shocked” is given while the poker chips are still “Plunkitt” into the pockets.
“EVERYBODY is talkin’ these days about Tammany men growin’ rich on graft, but nobody thinks of drawin’ the distinction between honest graft and dishonest graft. There’s all the difference in the world between the two. Yes, many of our men have grown rich in politics. I have myself. I’ve made a big fortune out of the game, and I’m gettin’ richer every day” — US Congressional Leadership of the Progressive Servants (OOOOPS, meant to say Senator George Washington Plunkitt).

Meaningless gesture. Seems to be a key feature of Democrats like Johnson.
Seattle Mayor Katie B. Wilson just did something similar. Here was the response from the Seattle Police Officers Guild, “The concept of pitting two armed law enforcement agencies against each other is ludicrous, and will not happen.”

Since “Enforcement” is in their name, I think he’s gaslighting me. He must be for open borders with no enforcement.
Incitement to insurrection. Democrats have jumped the Ass and have been hoisted on their Fani.
Dina and Ripz are both inciting insurrection. Not one [republican] leader has brought codification of any America First agenda items to the floor, MOST of 45-47’s AG’s are still in confirmed. Every city county state and many federal govt entities are in rebellion.
