Chicago Tribune’s John Kass will not take a knee to cancel culture

Legal Insurrection-

George Soros rightly is maligned for his corrupting influence on politics. We have documented, among many other things, how Soros has funded, mostly through organizations in his network, the anti-Israel ecosystem.

But to criticize Soros is a third rail that will get you immediately smeared as anti-Semitic by the ADL and others.

Yes, some conspiratorial claims about Soros do invoke anti-Jewish stereotypes, but factual criticism of his doings is not the same as an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.

One issue that is particularly timely is the widely-reported effort by Soros-funded groups to elect District Attorneys who would implement lenient prosecutorial policies that resulted in rioters and looters in recent Black Lives Matter protests being released quickly from jail. The NY TimesPolitico, and The Los Angeles Times, among many others, have reported on this Soros effort.

Our own posts documenting Soros’ District Attorney campaign included:

John Kass is a columnist for The Chicago Tribune. He’s one of the best in the country. His knowledge of Chicago and Illinois politics is expressed in pungent and often hysterically funny form. That style also permeates his national political commentary, and it’s compelling and enjoyable.

On July 22, 2020, Kass wrote a column which mentioned Soros’ District Attorney efforts, Something grows in the big cities run by Democrats: An overwhelming sense of lawlessness(archive):

…. Democratic mayors, backing Joe Biden, are on the defensive, upset that the president might win political advantage, even as the mayors feud with their own police departments, as the violence rises in their towns, as children are gunned down.

But these Democratic cities are also where left-wing billionaire George Soros has spent millions of dollars to help elect liberal social justice warriors as prosecutors. He remakes the justice system in urban America, flying under the radar.

The Soros-funded prosecutors, not the mayors, are the ones who help release the violent on little or no bond….

If Trump truly wants to help the cities, he might privately call the mayors and ask them about the prosecutors backed by Soros.

These prosecutors are among the few politicians in America who have delivered on their promises. They promised to empty their jails through the social justice warrior policy of “decarceration.” They also help give repeat, violent criminals little or no bond when arrested.

And in many of the violent cities, the prosecutors have delivered on their promises, not to keep the violent in jail, but to let them out.

Kass then went on to detail specific examples of these Soros-backed prosecutors contributing to the chaos, including Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx. more here

  1. Occasionally they run his stuff at Townhall and that’s the only way I get it because although I’ve not gone online to the tribune site in forever they say my free views are used up.

    Wouldn’t give them a nickel if it was to buy gasoline to burn the Tribune Towers down.

  2. They intimidate others into not responding and then say: Hey look, there is near unanimity backing our apologetic and scant dissent. Obviously our views must be correct.

    The progressive movement controls research dollars and unless the conclusions are foreordained there is no money for research. Hardly anyone’s can make an informed decision any longer because the research has been so bastardized and results polluted barely anyone is competent to score it.

    Their “experts” are political hacks and they freeze out anyone who does not agree with the fore gone “conclusions” and it is a complete Charlie Foxtrot at this point.

    The following is the history of the project.

    “The Secretary of State Project originated due to the culmination of frustration, anger, bitterness and overall resentment Democrats felt towards Republicans in the wake of President George W. Bush’s re-election in 2004. Still plagued with memories of Katherine Harris and Florida from the 2000 presidential contest, Democrats placed the blame for Senator John Kerry’s loss squarely on the head of former Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, who ruled that provisional ballots in the state would not be counted if they were submitted in the wrong precinct, a decision upheld by the United States Court of Appeals. Bush’s victory in the state – a relatively slim 118,000+ votes – gave him the necessary electoral votes (twenty) to cross the victory threshold of two hundred and seventy.

    Democratic founders of the SoS Project saw conspiracy in Blackwell’s decision, insisting that those individuals who were elected on the principle of upholding and enforcing election laws were, in fact, political operatives. But rather then push for reform so that the offices of the Secretaries of State reflected a level of neutrality, perhaps making it so holders of those positions were elected on a nonpartisan basis, they instead sought to implement an aggressive agenda exactly the same in nearly every respect that they had just accused Republicans of performing. Through the strategic process of placing specific candidates, ones that met a certain liberal or progressive criteria set down by the organization, in positions of power that oversaw and administered state elections, the Democratic Party would be “better positioned than in the previous elections to advance traditional Democratic interests,” particularly when it came to the administration of election laws.[1]”

  4. Soros’ evil deeds chill the soul.

    Given his past activities, I conclude he wants to destroy America so he can make further billions off our demise. Why else would he do what he does? He turned his back on humanity during WWII.

    Please God, take him away.
