| [NY Post] She's a real treasure, just ask her The eccentric self-described "super mayor" of a Chicago suburb was compared to a South American dictator by disgruntled constituents, who complained about massive billboards bearing her face across town and the "militarization" of local police against her political enemies. "Keeping my promises, Fighting for my residents," reads one sign alongside the face of Mayor Tiffany Henyard on a shuttered strip of downtown Dolton, Illinois. "The people’s choice," reads another not 300 feet away bearing her bejeweled visage. Across the street, another says, "Congratulations on making history Tiffany A. Henyard, Thornton Township Supervisor," showing the 40-year-old mayor smiling in a pink blazer. "It’s Venezuela. Isn’t that what they are doing out there with [President Nicolás] Maduro? His face is all over, like ’I’m the dictator,'" a 66-year-old Dolton resident said of the Henyard posters. "It’s like a dictator. There is no call for it," he added. Henyard was first elected in 2021 to lead the small town of 20,000 people about 20 miles south of downtown Chicago. She has come under scrutiny in recent weeks for a laundry list of antics, including accusations of blowing thousands in public funds on luxury travel and dining, turning local police into both her personal bodyguards and backup dancers for music videos, and hiring DJs for town meetings — all while the city falls $5 million into debt. |

| #6 Given the White POS DA's Soros has supported, it's not ONLY a racialist thing. Think Obama and Bill Ayers. They all are corrupt |

| #5 Elections have consequences. Electing female people of color seems to be a consistently un-serious choice if effective leadership and decision-making is what one was after. |

| #3 I've worked and driven through the Chicago areas many, many times and I'm pretty sure that I have never been in Dolton (even by mistake). I've been close a few times, but not by choice. As 3dc states, it's a 'No Go' Area for sure. |

| #2 Ah.. living in the greater area of Chicago I needed to look up Doltan on the maps... That's one of those "NO GO AREAS" for anybody not from the ghettos, Think DEEP SOUTH SIDE. |
