This is what the Republican Culture of Corruption Looks Like In 2018With future Speaker Nancy Pelosi's connivance, Denny Hastert-- then Speaker, currently in prison for raping underage boys-- protected alcoholic Florida Congressman Mark Foley (a "nice guy") from ever having to face charges from dozens of young men-- congressional pages-- that he had sex or tried to have sex with them.
About 200 protesters shut down a busy street in a wealthy area in Chicago expressing outrage over Chicago’s gun violence and calling for the resignation of Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Chicago recently recorded its deadliest weekend of he year with 66 people shot and 12 murdered. Rahm Emanuel, acknowledged that there are too may criminals on the street when they should be in jail.

Democrat Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, is rolling out identification cards, called 'City Keys', for illegal aliens residing in his city so they can feel comfortable to "drive their child to school, and all the benefits they have, to be part of the city."

Hopefully you remember Chuy Garcia from his run for mayor of Chicago in 2015. He stunned the political world by forcing Rahm Emanuel into a runoff. Last week we mentioned that Chuy, a Cook County Commissioner, is running for the IL-04 congressional seat that Luis Gutierrez is giving up.
