Building a woke / Illegal Alien Military and police force Woke / Left Wing in the Army by Design : In 2021, President Biden issued an executive order that repealed the 2018 policy and restored the 2016 policy2. The DOD published the updated policy that prohibits discrimination based on gender identity, allows transgender people to serve in their self-identified gender, and provides access to medical treatment for transition-related care. Foreigners as USA Troops move: Durbin suggested on the Senate floor on Monday, December 4, 2023, that undocumented immigrants who can pass the physical and background tests should be allowed to join the U.S. military and earn citizenship through their service. He argued that this would help the military meet its recruiting goals and give a chance to those who want to serve and risk their lives for the country. He also renewed his call for a comprehensive immigration reform that would create more legal pathways for immigrants and grant legal status to the undocumented population. Foreigners as Cops: Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signed a bill on July 30, 2023, that allows non-citizens who are legally authorized to work in the United States under federal law to apply for the position of police officers in Illinois. The bill, known as House Bill 3751, will come into effect on January 1, 2024. Get Away of USA troops on USA Soil: The Insurrection Act, which authorizes the president to use the military to suppress rebellions, insurrections, or domestic violence, or to enforce federal or state laws will bypass posse comitatus. Think January 6th and that trap.. Invasion of Illegals – prestaging of UN Troops is a left wing playbook? Richard Boykin, the Cook County Commissioner who suggested that the UN send peacekeepers to help fight the gun violence in Chicago. Here is what he said: There is a quiet genocide taking place in too many of our communities. Eighty percent of those who are being killed by gun violence are African American, and often killed at the hands of another African American. So we must protect these population groups, and that's what the United Nations does. They're a peacekeeping force. They know all about keeping the peace, and so we're hopeful that they'll hear our appeal Why illegals in the USA military: Go after the constitution like free speech and rights to bare arms. The elite need an army to bring in the MOB and put you in a FEMA camp. How will this Go down? We cover a couple movies of predictive programing. Good News: Last we cover scripture of be a remnant and lean on how 7K did not bow to Baal.

Murphy Dunne (Chicago,1967-70) is a man of many talents who started out playing piano at the Second City before quickly moving to the stage. He had the unique experience of writing satire in Chicago during the 1968 Democratic convention/riots. Unlike his castmates, Murphy had the added pressure of being the son of the Cook County Commissioner at the time. While he was at the Second City, he met fellow music lover John Belushi and began a friendship that would lead to Murphy becoming part of the Blues Brothers Band. This is just the tip of the iceberg of this man's amazing career, which also includes starting the Chicago Blues festival and being a member of the legendary San Francisco comedy troupe "The Committee". I think you will be as charmed as we were as Murphy Shares some of his amazing experiences with us.

Liz Gorman vs Sean Morrison in the 17th Cook County District June 28, 2022 Season 4, Episode 1 Ray Hanania on Politics The heated battle between former Cook County Commissioner and tax fighter Liz Gorman and beleaguered incumbent Sean Morrison in the 17th District is a battle to save the Republican Party in Cook County. Gorman has a proven record fighting for the rights of taxpayers while in his first full term Morrison has done little for the taxpayers. Instead, Morrison has partnered with one of the worst politicians in Illinois history Keith Pekau, the extremist Mayor of Orland Park whose only asset is to turn friends into enemies. Morrison is a pariah who needs to be removed from office. If he wins the June 28, Republican Primary election, he is certain to loose the seat to a Democrat, eliminating any Republican representation in the 17th District. If Gorman wins the Republican Primary, Gorman can easily keep the County Board seat for Republicans and use it to rebuild the Republican Party that Sean Morrison has abandoned with horrible leadership and a lack of creative ideas. Morrison has an albatross on his shoulders, his mishandling of the case of his former Senior Vice President Anthony Martin who was convicted of sexually harassing a 14-year-old girl. Morrison defended Anthony Martin saying he needed him for his business and werote a letter to the judge in support of leniency and Martin's efforts to get probation. But after Morrison wrote the letter, Martin went on Morrison Security business in Colorado and using a Morrison Security cell phone sexually harrassed another 14-year-old girl, this time who turned out to be an undercover police investigator. Only 19 days after Morrison went for Martin's defense, Martin was arrested and charged. It's a sordid tale.

As the primaries have concluded around the country, we take a moment to look back at conversations with Bushra Amiwala who ran for Cook County Commissioner of the 13th District, and wit Dilara Sayeed who ran for Illinois State Representative of the 5th District. Though neither one won their races, we feel they (and we) have a lot to be proud of. They spoke to issues important to the people, energized the Muslim vote, as well as connected with the overall community letting them know that Muslims are concerned about the issues that face us all--and more importantly are willing to do the work to help make life better for all of us.
