JPMorgan Chase Bank is suing former Chicago Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot for letting her $11K credit card bill go unpaid for 17 months. The media has learned that Lightfoot, who became the first Democrat Chicago Mayor not reelected to city hall in about 40 years, was served with a subpoena at her $900,000 Chicago home in October, the Chicago Tribune reports. Chase ultimately decided in March that her $11,000 bill would be a charge-off, but her last payment of $5,000 on the debt was made on August 7, 2024, according to the bank’s records. The bank reported that Lightfoot has…

The US president has faced harsh criticism over transparency on the Epstein files US President Donald Trump has been filmed raising his middle finger and appearing to mouth “f**k you” at a Ford autoworker who heckled him during a factory visit near Detroit. The insult was linked to the controversy over the Epstein files, which Trump has sought to play down after previously promising transparency.The confrontation happened on Tuesday at Ford’s F-150 assembly plant in Dearborn, Michigan, after a worker shouted “pedophile protector.” According to a video circulating on the social media, Trump turned toward the worker, uttered several expletives,…

On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Rep. Gil Cisneros (D-CA) said that while we should covertly help protesters in Iran, after we struck the nuclear sites, “that was something that the Iranian people did not like. And they did kind of rally around their government. So, we don’t want to give them an excuse to kind of go in a different direction.” Co-host John Berman asked, “If the Iranian regime is teetering on the brink — and this is all theoretical now — and, in theory, a U.S. airstrike could push it over the edge, would that be something…

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Minneapolis Jacob Frey said he is “more and more concerned, each and every day” that a civilian, a cop, or an ICE agent might be “seriously injured or killed” “because of the conduct that we’re seeing on the streets and because of this massive increase in ICE agents that we’re seeing on the street.” Host Jake Tapper asked, “The Trump administration has announced that they’re surging more federal agents to Minneapolis. In terms of the ongoing protests, how worried are you that things are going to escalate, and is there anything that you…

The left wants to get millions of activists into the streets during the months ahead, and just like last time around they are hoping that an incident in Minnesota will be the spark.  Meanwhile, ICE has initiated a “wartime recruitment” strategy and is planning to meet any protests head on.  Both sides absolutely hate one another, and we have already seen so many incidents of violence.  This is such a tragedy, because none of us should want to see Americans fighting against Americans.  Unfortunately, I am convinced that the civil unrest that we are witnessing will greatly escalate as 2026 rolls…

Kentucky Senate Republican candidate Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) said he is the candidate best suited to win in the midterm elections based on a poll that claimed President Donald Trump, who won the Bluegrass State by thirty points, is unpopular in the state. Barr’s campaign has touted a survey by Public Policy Polling that he is, compared to the pro-Trump candidate Nate Morris and other candidates, best suited to beat Democrat frontrunner Charles Booker to replace the outgoing Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY). However, there appears to be one problem with the poll the Barr campaign is using. “The survey only gave the president…

NEW YORK — The Congressional Black Caucus’ political arm is endorsing Rep. Adriano Espaillat over a democratic socialist, Afro-Latina primary challenger — about a decade after the group rejected Espaillat’s efforts to join its ranks. Espaillat, who represents Upper Manhattan and parts of the Bronx, is facing a primary challenge from Darializa Avila Chevalier, a 32-year-old pro-Palestine organizer who led Columbia University’s protest encampment in 2024. Her candidacy is part of a wave of left-leaning primary challenges against pro-Israel incumbents in New York and beyond. Espaillat’s rocky history with the Congressional Black Caucus predates his election to Congress. He rankled…
