Well, the McCaskey Ken Dolls lost to the Detroit Lions. They are not the Monsters of the Midway. They are the Ken Dolls of the fashion runway. Like last week and the week before, the Chicago sports media will spend days gloating over Justin Fields’ accomplishments and the stats he put up, while sidestepping the loss. Field’s stats and records are irrelevant and meaningless if the TEAM LOSES. Football is supposed to be a team sport, not a one-man show. Fields is a loser, with the rest of that pathetic team.
Then we have last week’s election. Some areas are still counting results but it appears the Red Tide, Wave, or whatever the party and political pundits called it, turned into a Red drip, like the clap. The GOP, like the McCaskey Ken Dolls, is clueless. They pi$$ed off the country with their extremists so badly that many GOP candidates became unelectable in areas populated by people with more than one brain cell.
Missouri Senator Josh Hawley claimed the Republican Party has to change and build a new party to win elections. If that is true, when are Hawley and all the other tertiary syphilitic-infected extremist elected officials going to resign or not run again in the future?
Like Justin Field’s stats, the minor GOP wins are irrelevant and meaningless. Politicians from both parties refuse to listen to their constituents. The leadership of both parties in the House and Senate cannot or will not control their firebrand extremists. The extremists do not fear the leadership or care about them. They are defiant in their popularity.
Elected officials from both parties refuse to concentrate on issues people care about, the bread-and-butter kitchen table issues we face daily. They are consumed with cultural, social, and religious issues and waging constant political warfare. Too many are more concerned with their social media following than doing their jobs.
We have a municipal election coming in April. The field is getting crowded with candidates for mayor of Chicago. Congressman Chuy Garcia threw his hat in the ring for a second run for the Fifth Floor. Garcia joins a growing list of candidates trying to unseat Lightfoot. Lightfoot is the worst mayor since Big Bill Thompson, but with a crowded field, she can win again if the election goes to a runoff. Every candidate agrees on one issue. Chicago needs a change in leadership.
I hope that voter turnout will be larger than this past election, where a paltry 40.77% voted. That was a disgustingly low turnout for such an important election. The upcoming mayoral election will be the most important in our lifetimes. The faltering and failing Lightfoot must be defeated. We need a mayor who will fight for the people instead of allowing themself to be bullied into submission by Machine Boss Toni Preckwinkle.
Chicago politics is like the Chicago Bears. Incompetent leaders are in charge of both, and the news media ignores the failures and celebrates the bread and circuses.
