Celebrity Kapitol Kop who Beat Trump Supporters on Jan. 6 Gets Contributor Gig on CNN
[GatewayPundit] Michael Fanone, the celebrity US Capitol Police Officer known for his hatred of President Trump and his supporters, was recently hired by CNN as a contributor.

Fanone was filmed beating Trump supporters that day according to several witnesses. He was made famous by the mainstream media for his absolute disdain for Trump and his supporters.

In August Capitol Hill police officer Michael Fanone was put under the microscope by Newsmax’s Greg Kelly and ‘American Greatness’ senior contributor Julie Kelly. In the segment Julie Kelly reveals some “interesting details” about the officer.

Fanone is a rich kid from the DC suburbs. The more he hates Trump – the more the media loves him.

His new gig at CNN is not a surprise.

Chicago mayor who pushed $80M defund of cops now pleads for feds to save city
[NYPOST] reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
Mayor Lori Lightfoot
...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway...
— who last year proposed cutting $80 million from her city’s police budget — publicly pleaded with the feds on Monday to bolster the ranks of her city’s cops amid a surge in shootings and homicides.Lightfoot called on Attorney General Merrick Garland to send agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to the Windy City for a six-month crackdown on illegal guns.

"We cannot continue to endure the level of violence that we are now experiencing," Lightfoot said during a 40-minute speech.

"I feel the urgency every day."

The desperation move made Lightfoot — who’s said she opposes the "defund the police" movement — the second big-city Democratic mayor in days to announce dramatic steps to restore law and order as crime spirals out of control.

On Dec. 14, progressive the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
Mayor London Breed — who last year pledged to shift $120 million from the city’s law-enforcement budget to social spending — reversed course during a speech in which she vowed to end "the reign of criminals who are destroying our city."

#2  The chaos was the whole idea from the beginning. Thus making people miserable and creating more recruits for the hard left.

They cannot win when people are happy. They have to create misery. Yes, this is in their literature and is not a secret.

#9  ...and not the people using them?

Of course not, silly! It's called "gun violence", not "interpersonal people shooting each other violence". Once we get rid of all the guns, everyone will magically become nice.

#12  Why do liberal cities keep electing *freaks*?

I can pretend to understand why liberals elect liberals. But some of these people don't even function well in their own lives and have no business in a leadership position. Why do white women and some white men have no discernment when it comes to these matters?

#13  crusader

actually in many cities the choice is between nutzoid lefty vs corrupt lefty

that was the case in Chicago in 2019

next mayoral race in Chicago is 2023, Police Union chief John Catanzara is currently planning to run

#15  A good start to saving Chicago would be for Lightfoot to resign. However, IMO Chicago has been under Dem corruption for too long to be saved.

#18  This was all part of their plan. I have said it all along. She defunds the police. crime goes up. The feds take over the police department, funding means ownership. Now the city does not pay and the fed have a model for federalizing local police...

#19  The Story of Lori, or, Angles and Dangles

Economy
Biden touts 'significant progress' by his Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force as crisis continues
[FoxBusiness] Consumer prices surged at the fastest pace in nearly four decades in November.

President Biden will hold a "convening" Wednesday at which members of his economic team and business leaders will cite a variety of positive indicators about the economy, even as inflation roars and supply chain problems continue.

Problems with the economy likely will factor into the 2022 midterm elections and Biden's own 2024 reelection campaign — if he runs — should inflation and shortages of goods and labor persist.

Among those expected to attend: Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg; National Economic Council Director Brian Deese; Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack; port envoy John Porcari; FedEx CEO Fred Smith; Yellow Corp. CEO Darren Hawkins; and Christopher Connor, CEO of the American Association of Port Authorities.

The Biden administration released a "fact sheet" Wednesday that will apparently serve as a template for the meeting, touting what it called the strongest economic growth of any president in his first year in a half-century, and outlining the "aggressive action to lower the price of goods and gasoline for Americans."

In the document, the White House struck an optimistic tone on gas prices, supply chain issues, and inflation – factors that have caused him polling issues and subjected him to intense Republican criticism.

"Since Day 1, President Biden has been laser-focused on reopening the economy and has taken aggressive action to lower the price of goods and gasoline for Americans," the fact sheet says. "The President’s Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force has made significant progress to alleviate bottlenecks that are rooted in the global pandemic."

What about bottlenecks rooted in Biden's incompetence?

WTF does that even mean?

These assholes can't even lie coherently now

#3  significant progress to alleviate bottlenecks that are rooted in the global pandemic

Everything is the 'Global Pandemic's' fault, don't you see.

Supply Chain, Racism, Crime, Gender Identity, Global Warming (or Cooling), Sunspots, 3-Headed Goats and Biden winning® the election.

#4  Coke, Pepsi, Sunbelt, Red Bull all indicate sever problems next year in supplying products. Those ships offshore are insured. So figure write offs and such. Salvage products shipped to Latin America and sold at whatever price they can get. Americans will pay thru the nose on products that do make it to market. This is a rigged game.

#5  and I thought my growing hate for people was from all the shit I read and view. Never considered the "pandemic" to be the cause.
