Caution didn't win women the vote, or equal pay, or fair sport, or the right to single-sex spaces. Sophie Cunningham is standing up for women and girls everywhere and it's glorious. Fuck caution.
An official Obama Presidential Center subcontractor just SHUT DOWN and laid off 25 union workers after suffering a devastating $4 million loss on the project.
Mike Owen, owner of Adamson Plumbing Contractors, called the financial disaster a "final death blow" that forced him to abandon multiple other active construction sites just to avoid total bankruptcy. The company has now hit the property with a massive $1.72 million mechanic's lien.
This isn't an isolated incident either. While elite politicians and celebrities celebrated at the star-studded opening, small and minority-owned subcontractors have been pushed to financial ruin by standard bureaucratic incompetence. The project's initial budget completely spiraled out of control—ballooning from $350 million to over $1 BILLION due to constant design revisions, delays, and unpaid bills.
Worse yet, the Obama Foundation is completely deflecting blame, claiming they have "no outstanding disputed charges" with the main manager and basically telling the small business owners they are on their own. Meanwhile, the general contractor dismissed the destruction of these small businesses as a normal "contractual closeout."
It is the same old story from the corporate left: talk a big game about supporting local workers, blow past a billion dollars in spending, and leave the actual blue-collar working class to pay the ultimate price.
Chicago sank $14M into a discount grocery chain and it went under.
This is progressivism in action: Overpromise, waste tax dollars, watch the project fail miserably, then shrug it off.
Progressives don't care about a plan succeeding.
Progressives only care about being credited for their "good intentions."
The LARGEST human ivermectin cancer study EVER done found 84.4% of patients declared their cancer had COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED, SHRUNK, or STOPPED PROGRESSING after 6 months.
Our study is now PEER-REVIEWED and PUBLISHED by the International Institute of Anticancer Research.
Pritzker dropped millions trying to buy relevance and still couldn’t crack a New Hampshire poll where AOC is leading, Bernie is at 6%, and Harris is in the single digits.
Fox News didn’t even put his face on the board.
That’s not the long game.
That’s just being irrelevant.
Next on the docket: Monroe County,IL officials are considering eminent domain on old ladies living on multigenerational farms. I'll be posting a video and naming the decision makers in the coming days. The issues are endless, but I'm here for it🇺🇸
"Love thy neighbor as thyself."
Just received word from Mr Kirby's CPA...the IRS has corrected the record, and is issuing him a REFUND. I appreciate IRS officials responding to me so fast, BUT, whoever was responsible for handling Mr Kirby's case should be fired immediately! The new IRS Chief should set up a web portal where tax payers can make reports that actually get reviewed and replied to. This was absolutely ridiculous, and should never happen again. This dragged on for 5 years, and in under 24 hours, we fixed it. Unreal.
Jon Stewart just sat there nodding like a bobblehead while Mamdani tried to sanitize socialism as nothing more than "lending out books for free...a library."
PATHETIC.
And when he actually asked Mamdani about abolishing prisons and borders, Mamdani completely dodged it and Jon accepted his non-answer with a strange fanboy giggle. You’d think someone with Jon Stewart’s reputation for grilling politicians would see right through this kind of propaganda. But he didn't even push back!
Which leaves us with a much bigger question: is Jon Stewart just getting naive in his old age, or is he actually on board with the socialists' agenda?
They keep stealing money and "legally" interfering with elections because nothing happens to them. No one sues them, the federal government doesn't step in, the press doesn't take them to task, etc.
So they keep doing whatever they want. California governance has essentially caused California to secede from the United States.
🚨 JUST IN: Democrats are shocked after even Dem strategist JAMES CARVILLE just said the party must SURRENDER on the issue of voter ID
CARVILLE: "We are NOT gonna win the war against ID. EVERY POLL shows 75% or better say we need ID to vote! Just QUIT FIGHTING IT. Go along with it and move the next thing." 🤯
Brutal!
"James Carville is telling his party to GIVE UP THE FIGHT on voter ID. He's arguing it's a TERRIBLE hill to die on."
"New Fox polling shows voters overwhelmingly support ID to vote...8 in 10!"
It's time: PASS SAVE AMERICA
Mamdani just set off a devastating domino effect with his new tax on the second homes of the wealthy in New York City. He's bragging about forcing those evil capitalists to pay their fair share so the City can fund more libraries. But has he ever actually done the MATH? And I mean real math, not socialist math. Because the rich homeowners will do the real math. And they'll LEAVE.
Socialist math ALWAYS leads to suffering for the very people it promised to lift up. Here's what Mamdani just set into motion:
First, high-end owners will just dump their properties. Why pay the tax when it's cheaper to rent a nice hotel? And they'll sell low because 1) NOBODY wants to pay that tax, so buyers will just factor it into the property's cost and offer less, and 2) the longer the sellers wait to sell, the more they're being taxed. So, selling low is cheaper. Because math.
That will drive down luxury property values citywide. Sounds great, right? Well... unless you're a developer. Let's say you've already gotten funding from the bank to build new housing, including that affordable housing the socialists love so much. But now, the expensive units at the top of the building won't sell for nearly as much as the bank was hoping for. So, they run the math and the project stops.
Now, all that's left is a giant hole. And all those people hired to build that building - hundreds of excavators, plumbers, electricians, and ironworkers - just lost their jobs, their hourly paychecks, and their pension credits for the year.
From there, it's more basic math - supply and demand. The supply doesn't get built, so the demand increases and the rent for other affordable units goes up. The policy sold as "pro-working class" just made their lives more expensive.
But at least the City will generate more taxes for the libraries, right? Nope. The rich will dump their second homes, so there goes that tax money. Nobody will want to buy that property as a second home, so maybe it will sell to someone living there full time. That's a win by Mamdani's math, but it also means nobody's paying that tax anymore. And also, all those people who just lost their jobs won't be paying taxes either. But hey, at least you stuck it to the capitalists!
That's socialism in a nutshell. Thanks, Mamdani.
