-Great Cultural Revolution
Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge gives a super stern message, says criminals need to “learn how to behave” after two people were shot in downtown
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
… Wow, I think she just solved Cincinnati’s crime problem.

Video:
@corymbowman

Culturally Cincinnati is very German. That is actually a message that resonates — at least with those who already care to behave. The rest will also carry on as they have been.

Only the trick is on the people of Cincinnati.

She's the one that blamed the victims for getting curb stomped back in July.

#9  Students of The Humanities:

I think this building should be condemned. There's serious metal fatigue in all the load-bearing members, the wiring is substandard, it's completely inadequate for our power needs, and the neighborhood is like a demilitarized zone.

Illinois Lawmakers discover Democrats laundered over $1 billion dollars to 'Politically connected NGOs'
[X] No wonder Illinois is functionally broke.
…No transparency. NGOs aren't subject to the Freedom of Information Act or FOIA”

“Taxpayers can't see how their money is being spent”

Democrats are also laundering money through the official budget, “The budget language is vague and on purpose. These grants are buried under broad terms with little or no detail. Lawmakers are being asked to approve funding without knowing how the money will be used or even who's getting it.”

“The human services budget has been hijacked. It used to mean helping seniors, helping single mothers, and people with disabilities. Now it's packed with programs for politically aligned groups offering vague services like parent mentoring, immigrant support, LGBTQ advocacy, and many are race or identity-based initiatives that serve political agendas”

#1  May I see the list of names being arrested, please?

Sorry.
Democrats don't arrest Democrats for stealing Taxpayer $$$$ for themselves, or to support their Anti-MAGA agenda.
Posted by: NN2N1 || 10/15/2025 4:58 Comments || Top||

#2  So the tip of the iceberg is $1B in Illinois. I would think that 10% of their state spending is siphoned st a minimum.
Posted by: Super Hose || 10/15/2025 5:55 Comments || Top||

#3  Democratic corruption on an institutionalized scale, has been for many perhaps one hundred years.

#4  Is it any wonder why Biden kept extending the covid "emergency"? The broke blue states loved it.

#2  I would have to watch the video to determine whether he is aware of the flaw in his logic and is trying to gas-light us or whether he is just an inconsequential dummy I will assume he is just a dummy and expect not to hear his name again.

Here is a group of sexual perverts which produce a majority of all criminal sexual crimes, and they are being arrested for.

JB Pritzker is now threatening ICE agents, saying that if Republicans lose power in 2028, the next Democrat president will prosecute them

#1  Given the BIDEN Staff abuse and use of the President's Auto-Pen, and lack of ANY arrests or accountability.

What if, Trump's staff happened to slip in a few pardons to do the same? 🤔
Posted by: NN2N1 || 10/15/2025 5:09 Comments || Top||

#2  America is not voting Harris-Buttigieg, AOC-Crockett, or Newsom-Pritzker in 2028. He’s shaking a rubber chicken at us. If we treat his threat seriously, he wins. In reality, Republicans playing nice doesn’t have any impact on the corrupt and illegal stuff that the Dems will do next time they have all three branches of power. In WWII, for instance, we treated prisoners per the Geneva Convention for the most part except Lt Spiers and some reprisals during the Battle of the Bulge. That had zero impact on how our servicemen were treated by the Axis powers. The Dems want power. They installed a secret censorship infrastructure last time. They will take it to the next level once they are back in power regardless of Republican restraint.
Posted by: Super Hose || 10/15/2025 5:51 Comments || Top||

#3  Given the Federal Prison system has an entire wing reserved for former Illinois governors, I'm pretty sure a room awaits.

#1  House races are generally out of the spotlight. There is a high level of hubris in doing that type of corruption and running for higher office. All the folks that got raked by RFK Jr will see the same Pharma corruption coming up again in their next debate.Trump cabinet members are fighting back and getting rewarded for it in favorability polls. You will see some Republican politicians doing the same.
