Why I Love To Blog -- They Must Be Reading The Blog -- August 29, 2020

 I posted this note about 9:00 a.m. this morning. Two hours later, ZeroHedge posts this story:

While mayor Lori Lightfoot continues to try and assure the public that she has everything under control, the exodus from Chicago as a result of the looting and riots is continuing. Citizens of Chicago are literally starting to pour out of the city, citing safety and the Mayor's ineptitude as their key reasons for leaving. 

Hilariously, in liberal politicians' attempt to show the world they don't need Federal assistance and that they don't need to rely on President Trump's help, they are inadvertently likely creating more Trump voters, as residents who seek law and order may find no other choice than to vote Republican come November. 

And even though residents understand the looting and riots in some cases, they are not waiting around for it to get better on its own, nor are they waiting around for it to make its way to their house, their families or their neighborhoods.

One 30 year old nurse that lives in River North told the Chicago Tribune: "Not to make it all about us; the whole world is suffering. This is a minute factor in all of that, and we totally realize that. We are very lucky to have what we do have. But I do think that I’ve never had to think about my own safety in this way before.”

The city's soaring crime has been national news this year and many residents are claiming they "no longer feel safe" in the city's epicenter, according to the Tribune report. Aldermen say their constituents are leaving the city and real estate agents say they are seeing the same. 

The "chaotic bouts of destruction in recent months" are the catalyst, the report says.

It's agreed: Joe Biden does not want to debate Trump. His supporters are telling Joe Biden not to debate Trump.

When that story line changes -- when Joe Biden begs to debate Trump -- one will know what Democrat internal polling is showing. Link here
