Aw, this is just gonna be sumpthin', you know?
Chicago's own Brandon 'Bear of Little Brains' Johnson is feeling his oats, which is a bad thing when there's not that much intellectual firepower driving the actions.
Or the mouth.
What a walking, talking disaster this ginormous jackass is.
As David told you just a bit ago, the City of Chicago covered itself in utter craven disgrace this weekend when federal officers came under attack, requested assistance from the Chicago Police, had every right to expect it, and then nobody showed up to help. Why?
Because they received orders NOT to go to the besieged federal police officers' relief.
...“When the offending vehicle crashed, they ran the federal agent off the road, they fled on foot westbound.”
A male voice then comes on the radio channel, telling the dispatcher to direct officers to head to the scene and “stay put” a few blocks away and await further instruction, which she relays.
A few seconds later, the male voice is heard again, saying tersely: “Per the chief of patrol: clear everybody out, we’re not responding over there.”...
WHAT IN THE ACTUAL SAM HELL?!
As if that wasn't unforgivable enough, the city's phony, fatuous fatmouth got in front of cameras just a little bit ago to make matters immeasurably worse.
Such natural talent for such a little, unmanned vehicle.
He announced signing - using the royal third person 'we,' no less - an executive order aimed at 'reining in this out of control administration' and establishing 'ICE-free zones' in the city.
Good luck and vaya con Dios, doofus.
Mayor Johnson can write & sign as many executive orders as he’d like, he should do whatever makes him feel good inside.

The defender of illegal aliens in Chicago is going to spend hard-earned dollars he doesn't have to put signs up everywhere for Homan's boys to read and heed.
Should be effective, kind of like the, uh, 'Gun Free Zone' concept. You know, since Johnson is so concerned with Chicagoans' safety and all.
NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW
Except for illegal aliens in Brandon Johnson's Chicago. Schweet!
...The order covers schools, libraries, parks, and other city-owned spaces, and allows private establishments to voluntarily participate in a citywide network that protects residents from ICE operations without a valid warrant.
Each city property will have signage stating the following: "This property is owned and/or controlled by the City of Chicago. It may not be used for civil immigration enforcement, including as a: Staging area, processing location or operations base."
Johnson said the measure is designed to safeguard Chicagoans’ safety, dignity, and constitutional rights.
"The order builds a broad civic shield that limits the reach of harmful enforcement practices," Johnson said. It strengthens neighborhood solidarity and it reaffirms Chicago's role as a welcoming city. The fact is, we cannot allow them to rampage throughout our city with no checks or balances. Nobody is above the law. If we break the law, you should be held accountable. If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."
So this makes what Victor Davis Hanson said yesterday even more true. I already had it scheduled for the headlines, but I'm going to use it right this second because it's so apropos. It's almost as if the man was prescient...although he probably is.
VDH was using it in relation to Karen Bass, Wilson in Portland, and the spectre of Mamdani, but goofusdoofus Johnson certainly joins the club, however clumsily he lumbered in. Hanson dubbed them 'Neo-Confederate Nullificationists' and it's sheer perfection.
Victor Davis Hanson just coined the PERFECT term for leftist mayors like Karen Bass—those trying to block federal government operations in their cities.

...But Hanson says these modern-day secessionists have one major difference from the originals:
“They’re basically saying L.A. is a sovereign entity—Portland—and we do not have to obey the laws of the federal government.”
“We’re secessionists…except when they want federal money and then of course they’re all integral parts of the United States.”
That sounds about right, particularly when you hear more of Johnson's heated rhetoric at the press conference, with all those somber faces nodding in solemn agreement behind him.
BY THE TIME WE REALIZE WHAT'S HAPPENING, IT WILL BE TOO LATE
IN THE COMING DAYS AND WEEKS WE MAY BE PUSHED, IF NOT FORCED TO TAKE EVEN MORE DRAMATIC ACTION
JUST IN: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says the *right* wants a “rematch” of the Civil War because ICE is deporting illegal immigrants.

...“A couple of years ago, I said very candidly that the right wing in this country wants a rematch of the Civil War.”
“I want that to sit in right now because The President of the United States of America has declared war on the people of Chicago and people across America.”
CHICAGO WILL NEVER BE HUNGRY AGAIN!
Oh. Sorry.
Wrong movie.
It didn't take long for the White House to pop off a reply to the posturing Bear.
...The order prohibits Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from staging personnel or equipment in city-controlled parking lots, garages, and vacant lots. The move drew immediate backlash from the White House’s Rapid Response 47 account, which accused Johnson of "aiding and abetting criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, traffickers, and gang bangers." Johnson’s office defended the order as a measure to protect community trust and uphold Chicago’s Welcoming City Ordinance. The Department of Homeland Security and ICE have not publicly commented on the directive.
And I'm kind of on board with what one commenter said underneath the Rapid Response Xweet - cut the frickin' money off and do it NOW.
As VDH said, they're all about the tough resistance and secession talk until even a tiny portion of the funding gets whacked, then it's all 'we're FELLOW AMERICANS!'
This is nothing short of an open rebellion against the federal government.

It's time to pull the State of Illinois's federal funding, folks.
Either they are part of this country, or they are not. There is no middle ground here.
It's not like ENFORCING THE LAW at long last isn't becoming dangerous enough...
WOW: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem reveals the dark truth behind these I.C.E attacks getting worse by the day.

...they're getting more and more people on their team, as far as attacking officers and they're making plans to ambush them and to kill them. We have specific officers and agents that have bounties that have been put out on their heads. It's about $2,000 to kidnap them, $10,000 to kill them."
...without having to worry about elected officials joining the cartels.
Keep the pressure on and cut the money off.
If we thought our job in pushing back against the Academia/media/Democrat censorship complex was over with the election, think again. This is going to be a long fight. Ed, David, John, and I are here for it.
