The former Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, Jody Weis, has articulated a truth that the liberal media and Democrat establishment desperately try to obscure. When it comes to President Donald Trump’s proposed federal crackdown on the rampant crime plaguing Chicago, the primary fear among Democratic leaders is not that it will fail, but that it will succeed spectacularly.
Weis, who is intimately familiar with the city’s challenges, correctly identified that the opposition from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is not rooted in a genuine concern for their constituents, but in a nakedly political fear of being exposed as incompetent and ideologically bankrupt.
As Weis stated in his interview, “I think they are afraid that people will see what can be done if politicians commit to taking action and really want to make a difference.” This single quote dismantles the entire facade of the Democratic party’s opposition. Their terror is not of federal overreach, but of federal effectiveness.
They have watched President Trump’s successful restoration of law and order in the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., and they know the same proven strategies can be applied to Chicago. The undeniable success at the southern border, where the President’s policies swiftly ended a national crisis that Democrats claimed was intractable, serves as a powerful and recent precedent that their excuses cannot withstand.
The liberal media, acting as a mouthpiece for the Democrat party, refuses to report on this simple reality. Instead of celebrating the potential for safer streets and saved lives, they parrot the hysterical warnings of Pritzker and Johnson, who absurdly frame a potential rescue mission as an “invasion.” Their priority is to protect their own political power at the direct expense of the citizens they were elected to serve. They would rather see countless more victims of violent crime in Chicago neighborhoods than see a single political victory for President Trump, a man who actually delivers on his promises to protect the American people.
When the residents of Chicago witness a dramatic and sustained drop in crime due to President Trump’s decisive action, they will be forced to confront an uncomfortable truth. They will realize that their suffering was never inevitable; it was a conscious choice made by feckless local leaders who valued woke politics over public safety.

The Democrat machine’s greatest nightmare is an empowered citizenry that questions their failed leadership and recognizes the potent effectiveness of America-First policies. The President’s commitment is unwavering, as he boldly declared, “We’re going in. I didn’t say when, we’re going in.”
If Trump does send forces into Chicago, the people of Chicago will of course see it. But the mayor and the governor will not have to worry too much. The msm will not report it, allowing the democrats to continue to ruin a city and the state, winning with voter fraud and idiot voters.
My personal feelings are, Trump should make a big deal of the fact that the Dems will not allow him to come into Chicago. Point the finger directly at the Dems, Johnson and Pritzger specifically. And then go to New Orleans, a city in a red state and clean it up. When the people of Chicago see New Orleans crime drop so that families can enjoy their city again and DC the same, the people of Chicago will revolt and force the two dimwits to fold. Trump won’t have to force his way into Chicago, they will welcome him in unabated.
It really doesn’t matter if it works or the democrat party is incompetent, the low intelligent people will vote for democrat anyways… because they think they will get something for free!
278 homicides, this year, so far. Help is offered. Refusal means they are okay with the situation.
