I am so looking forward to the second round in the Second City.



Do you think we will see a brokered convention?

Will there be peaceful protests? Will Taylor Swift write a song about it? How many times will rayb check his sundial to see what century it is?

Biden, Obama, Clintons to headline Democratic National Convention speakers

quote
Biden will speak Monday night during an opening evening of the convention that will pay tribute to the 81-year-old Democratic president, who last month ended his reelection campaign. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who ran unsuccessfully for president in 2016, will also address the convention Monday.

Obama is expected to speak Tuesday night, while former President Bill Clinton will deliver remarks Wednesday night before Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, gives his address. Democratic nominee Kamala Harris will close out the convention with her acceptance speech Thursday night.



I probably ought to brew a big pot of coffee.

Will be watching the news to see how the protests go. Several of the "News Programs" I view are projecting anti-Israel protests. Are the local and state authorities ready for another 1968? Maybe, maybe not. Only time will tell.

Hey, cut 'em a break. They are fighting for the future of Democracy on our planet.

Sometimes you got to get a little "handsy" when the stakes are that high.

Below is a screenshot from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0GmMaIsKOk

The video is meant to show that the Chi PD is ready.

Back in the mid ‘70s, I worked with a guy named Ed who was a semi-retired Chicago police officer. He was, at that time, the Shop Steward for the Teamsters. If I had shown him this picture, he would have busted out laughing.

DNC delegate arrested in protest that left cop critical faces calls to resign from police oversight board

quote
Calls are being made for a St. Louis alternate delegate to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to resign his position on a police oversight board after he was arrested in Ferguson, Missouri, on Friday during a protest in which a police officer was knocked to the pavement and is now fighting for his life.


Gil Scott-Heron was wrong. The revolution will be televised, live from Chicago.

There are no radical insurgents because the junta is the government.

There is no Deep State only because it is now simply the state.

You will hear, throughout the coming week, the word "Joy", the "Politics of Joy".

Some will tell you that this phrase, this slogan comes from Humphrey's 1968 campaign.

The truth is the slogan is a bit older. Who can recall the political slogan "Strength through joy"?
