Chicago mayor: Will take 'Herculean effort' to get businesses to come back Walmart, Target among businesses in city that can't confirm reopening of stores Chicago stores mull permanent closure following riots, coronavirus lockdown Chicago stores are struggling to reopen after the coronavirus lockdown, riot violence and looting have physically and economically destroyed businesses. https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/lori-lightfoot-alderman-chicago-walmart-looting Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said it would take a "Herculean effort" to keep businesses open in disadvantaged neighborhoods after looting and damage that occurred during the first weekend of protests following the death of George Floyd. "I've been on calls and text messages with people all day who fought hard to bring economic development to areas of the city, only to see the Walgreens, the CVS, the grocery store, everything vanish in an eye blink," Lightfoot said on a May 31 call with distraught aldermen. "It's going to take a Herculean effort on the part of all of us to convince businesses not to disappear, to come back. We're prepared to fight that fight." LOOTING COST BUSINESSES IN MAJOR METRO AREAS AT LEAST $400M, EXPERTS ESTIMATE Walmart can't confirm it will reopen its Chatham location on the city's South Side after it was ransacked. "We are still assessing the damage," a Walmart spokesperson told FOX Business. "No decision has been made." Target couldn't confirm it would reopen a nearby location either, The Chicago Sun-Times reported. Looting damage in metropolitan areas, including Chicago, between May 29 and June 3 totaled more than $400 million, according to an estimate from the Anderson Economic Group released Friday. GEORGE FLOYD PROTESTERS PUSH TO DEFUND THE POLICE: WHAT IT MEANS "I haven't seen s--t like this before," Lightfoot said on the call. "The number of places all over the South and West sides in particular that have been hit today has just been off the charts. Literally hundreds, if not thousands, of locations. Big stores, small stores, strip malls, many corner places, it is all over the city." Some aldermen had accused Lightfoot of prioritizing protecting central Chicago over the city's South and North sides. Lightfoot said on the call that the accusation was "simply not so." The city will spend up to $1.2 million to hire private security firms to protect local businesses and deter looters, Lightfoot's office said last week, according to the Chicago Tribune. GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE “The new guards are unarmed and solely in place to monitor activity on commercial corridors and notify the Chicago Police Department if any illegal activity occurs,” the mayor's office said in a statement to the Tribune. “None of the security guards have policing powers, but are another set of eyes and ears to support efforts to deter looters. All security officers will wear visible identification.”

New York Congressman (D) Elliot Engel on George Floyd protests - "If I didn't have a primary, I wouldn't care" Chicago Alderman (D) Harris - "My major business district is just shattered. You lose the two biggest icons. Why would Wal Mart or CVS come back to our communites?"

It was 38% when he demolished Hillary Clinton 306-232 in 2016.

I'm confident he did not watch the video. He may have learned not all black people have the victim mentality. He already knows more than any of them. Morgan Freeman, Lil' Wayne and Denzil Washington would be referred to as Uncle Tom's and coons by the left.

I have never claimed to be black. I was raised in the same area as my cousin. We are primarily rednecks.

She was also a member of the Black Student Union. Perhaps white liberals know more about racism than black people and are better tutors on the subject of being black in America.

That is the primary qualification for most white liberals who pretend to be authorities on racism. I have been called a racist by more than one white liberal on this forum yet I am the only white person who has had a black personal tutor for the past 30 years.

Black Lives Matter Co Founder demands Minneapolis mayor to defund police. "We don't want no mo' police"

gonzoron and other white liberals need to put their masks on and shelter in place. They do not know more about how black people view other blacks than they themselves.

Trump to resume trademark rallies after coronavirus hiatus https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-to-resume-campaign-rallies-after-coronavirus-hiatus President Trump will resume hosting campaign rallies sometime in the next two weeks, returning one of the president's most potent weapons to his arsenal as the 2020 campaign season enters a pivotal stretch, Fox News is told. Trump had suspended the rallies, which energize his base and allow his team to collect a treasure trove of voter data, in early March amid the coronavirus pandemic. “Americans are ready to get back to action and so is President Trump," Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale told Fox News. "The Great American Comeback is real and the rallies will be tremendous. You’ll again see the kind of crowds and enthusiasm that Sleepy Joe Biden can only dream of.” As late as March 9, Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, remarked that going to campaign rallies may not be a bad idea. DEMS WHO ENFORCED STRICT CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWNS ARE NOW OKAY WITH 'BLACK LIVES MATTER' PROTESTS "You know, I can’t comment on campaign rallies," Fauci told reporters. "It really depends. We are having as we all said — this is something in motion. This is an evolving thing. ... If you want to talk about large gatherings in a place you have community spread, I think that’s a judgment call, and if someone decides they want to cancel it, I wouldn’t publicly criticize them."

The Dems would destroy America!” The change-up also follows statements by many Democrats in charge of big cities -- including several who once insisted on strict quarantine measures -- championing the nationwide mass demonstrations over the in-custody death of George Floyd, sans social distancing. Epidemiologists, too, have abruptly changed their tune, even though they once said lockdown measures were so important that they justified widespread unemployment and business closures. "We spent the last couple of months being hectored by public health experts and earnestly righteous media personalities who insisted that easing lockdown policies was immoral, that refusing to social distance or wear masks was nigh upon murderous," Jonah Goldberg wrote for the G-File. "They even suggested that protests were somehow profane. But now that the George Floyd protests are serving as some kind of Great Awokening, many of the same are saying 'never mind' about all of that. Protests aren’t profane, they’re glorious and essential—if they agree with what you’re protesting about." More and more states are now reopening pursuant to federal guidelines and local leaders' assessments, and the nonenforcement of quarantine measures during the Floyd protests has left governors with little room to argue for extending the lockdowns. Prior to suspending rallies in March, the Trump campaign had previously been eyeing, but had not yet announced, a rally in Tampa, Florida, on March 25. CORONAVIRUS TIMELINE SHOWS CHANGING RHETORIC ON PANDEMIC The massive events are often an opportunity for Trump to hone attack lines against his opponents -- but also present chances for them to hit back. At a campaign rally in late February, for example, Trump calls Democrats' criticisms of his coronavirus response "their new hoax." More and more states are now reopening pursuant to federal guidelines and local leaders' assessments, and the nonenforcement of quarantine measures during the Floyd protests has left governors with little room to argue for extending the lockdowns. Biden and other Democrats then falsely accused Trump of calling the virus itself a hoax. Several fact-checkers including The Washington Post make clear, Trump was referring to the Democrats' response to the virus.

I married a black woman in the early 90's. She is an attorney and has been black her entire life. Her opinion is black people are the most racist of all people in America. I have asked dozens of black people the same question and every one of them has said the same. Rasmussen conducted a poll in which blacks, whites and Hispanics were asked which race is the most racist. A majority of white people said blacks A majority of Hispanics said blacks A majority of blacks said blacks More Americans View Blacks As Racist Than Whites, Hispanics https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/lifestyle/general_lifestyle/july_2013/more_americans_view_blacks_as_racist_than_whites_hispanics Americans consider blacks more likely to be racist than whites and Hispanics in this country. Thirty-seven percent (37%) of American Adults think most black Americans are racist, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Just 15% consider most white Americans racist, while 18% say the same of most Hispanic Americans. There is a huge ideological difference on this topic. Among conservative Americans, 49% consider most blacks racist, and only 12% see most whites that way. Among liberal voters, 27% see most white Americans as racist, and 21% say the same about black Americans. From a partisan perspective, 49% of Republicans see most black Americans as racist, along with 36% of unaffiliated adults and 29% of Democrats. Among black Americans, 31% think most blacks are racist, while 24% consider most whites racist and 15% view most Hispanics that way. Among white adults, 10% think most white Americans are racist; 38% believe most blacks are racist, and 17% say most Hispanics are racist. Overall, just 30% of all Americans now rate race relations in the United States as good or excellent. Fourteen percent (14%) describe them as poor. Twenty-nine percent (29%) think race relations are getting better, while 32% believe they are getting worse. Thirty-five percent (35%) feel they are staying about the same. These figures reflect more pessimism than was found in April when 42% gave race relations positive marks and 39% said race relations were improving. However, the April number reflected all-time highs while the current numbers are more consistent with the general attitudes of recent years. (Want a free daily e-mail update?

The U.S. Supreme Court recently killed a key portion of the Voting Rights Act as unconstitutional and sent a lawsuit challenging the University of Texas’ use of race as a factor in admissions back to the appellate court level for further review. Most Americans believe affirmative action admissions policies discriminate against whites, as the lawsuit argues, and think it’s better for colleges and universities to accept the most qualified students.

The official autopsy of George Floyd said asphyxiation was not the cause of death. He tested positive for COVID-19 on April 13.

I'm unaware if Minneapolis has consolidated their Sherrif's Department with Minneapolis police. Indianapolis consolidated several years ago. The IPD was over twice as large as MCSD before consolidation. I rarely ever see MCSD vehicles throughout Indianapolis and Marion county since consolidation. The MCSD operates the jail systems and provides officers for courts. Most of the former MCSD deputies became IMPD officers.

Agreed. The reference to the home invasion was made to focus on the plan to disband the police and suggestion to replace them with social workers. It will be interesting to see if social workers will be successful in removing a gang of drug induced criminals from a residents house during a home invasion and robbery.

Perhaps. However, he had served 5 separate prison sentences. He had a documented history of encounters with police. My wife's younger brother served an 8 year prison sentence. He hasn't had an issue with the law since his release.

9 Minneapolis City Council members announce plans to disband police department Nine Minneapolis City Council members announced plans Sunday to disband the city’s police department. They did not offer a timeline or propose specific actions but said they are “taking intermediate steps toward ending” the force. The group represents a majority on the 12-person council. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/9-minneapolis-city-council-members-announce-plans-to-disband-police-department/ar-BB159zvz?ocid=spartandhp George Floyd served a 5 year prison sentence for a home invasion where he held a gun on a pregnant woman. One suggestion is to have social workers replace police.

Eisenhower had to order U.S. Army troops from 101st Airborne to Little Rock Central High School when the Governor defied citizens civil rights and local police refused to stop riots.

Rasmussen’s Likely Black Voter Approval Numbers for Trump Are Astonishing https://www.redstate.com/nick-arama/2020/06/06/850665/ Rasmussen is out with a poll that has some astonishing “black likely voter” approval numbers for President Donald Trump. Now there’s a lot that has been going on that might influence those numbers. Trump achieving the lowest black unemployment in 50 years prior to the pandemic and more capable of getting the economy back on track post-pandemic, far more so than Biden. There’s Joe Biden’s “You ain’t black” if you don’t vote for him comment, insulting black Americans and reminding people of his racist comments throughout his career. Add that to his failure to improve things in his 36 years in the Senate and 8 years as Vice President. Plus Biden’s 1994 crime bill, which some belief led to greater incarceration versus Trump’s criminal justice reform bill, with the First Step Act. Then there are the riots and the pandemic with people able to see the choices that Democrats made versus those Trump made, with Democrats for sure coming up short. With the pandemic, Democrats are being seen as wanting to deny people the right to work to support their families. With the riots, Democrats are seen as not being effective in addressing them and seen as excusing rioters who have adversely impacted black lives, jobs and businesses. 19.2K people are talking about this
