Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin, Chicago Democrat, Reportedly Appealed to the UN to Come to Chicago

Instead of asking the U.S. President Donald Trump for assistance with Chicago’s never-ending gun violence, Cook County commissioner Richard Boykin, a Democrat, has reportedly expressed interest in teaming up with the United Nations.

“I’m hoping to appeal to the U.N. to actually come to Chicago and meet with victims of violence, and maybe even possibly help out in terms of peacekeeping efforts, because I think it’s so critical for us to make sure that these neighborhoods are safe,” he said Thursday, according to local station WBBM.

He reportedly made the comments from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport en route to New York to meet with Oscar Fernandez-Taranco of Argentina, the U.N. Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Support.

Boykin continued by lamenting the “quiet genocide taking place in too many of our communities” and rightly noting that most victims of Chicago’s gun violence are blacks who have been “killed at the hands of another African American.”

“So we must protect these population groups, and that’s what the United Nations does,” he added. “They’re a peacekeeping force. They know all about keeping the peace, and so we’re hopeful that they’ll hear our appeal.”

I appreciate his desire to help the black community in Chicago, but why seek help from the U.N. when Trump has already reportedly sent “an additional 20 agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives … to Chicago to help in the effort at cracking down on gun crime and the repeat criminals who routinely commit such crimes”?

The president has also proposed sending in the National Guard, though the city’s left-wing mayor, Rahm Emmanuel, rudely rejected this offer in January.

“We’re going through a process of reinvigorating community policing, building trust between relationships in the community and law enforcement,” he said, as reported by the Chicago Tribune. “(The National Guard) is antithetical to the spirit of what community policing is.”

But the power-hungry U.N. is not?

Let’s be clear here: The U.N. is an anti-democratic organization that is “hostile to the private ownership of firearms,” as noted five years ago by Ted R. Bromund, Ph.D., a Margaret Thatcher senior research fellow at The Heritage Foundation, in a column for The Daily Signal.

Moreover, the U.N. poses enough of a threat to the U.S. that the National Rifle Association sought to be recognized by it as a Non-Governmental Organization in 1996 just to monitor its activities and stop it from affecting our gun rights.

“NRA has been engaged at the United Nations and elsewhere internationally in response to overreaching small arms initiatives for two decades,” the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action notes. “During this time, we have been actively opposing transnational efforts that would limit Americans’ Second Amendment freedoms.”

Again, why would Boykin or any other political leader in Chicago be interested in teaming up with this anti-democratic organization when they already have a president ready and willing to help?

I don’t know, but I don’t like it. Nor do I like or appreciate the city’s leaders constantly disparaging our president, a man who clearly wants to help.

Speaking on CBS’ “The Late Show” this week, Emanuel proudly declared Chicago a “Trump-free zone” and joked that it’s new motto is “A city he’ll never sleep in.”

Gee, guy, how about making Chicago a violence-free zone with a motto of “A city where little black children can sleep peacefully,” you jerk?

My sincere guess is Emanuel doesn’t really care about Chicago’s gun violence. As for Boykin, I believe he cares but it simply misguided. I just hope somebody warns him about the U.N. before it’s too late.

Enjoy Your Tasty Wheat: How AI Corporate Greed is Killing Humanity

Published

on

Why the elite have decided it’s better to feed machines than humans.

We have a lower class of CEOs. And AI is making it worse.

In the past, these titans of industry would invest in their communities: libraries, public works projects, parks, or actual philanthropy.

Today’s C-suite “geniuses” engage in fake activism, bribery disguised as donations, and a complete nihilism from the communities they proclaim to serve at the safety of their gated communities.

It used to be a source of great pride for an owner to discuss how many employees they have. They would boast about how they put food on the table for families. They would talks about benefits, and how well they take care of their workers. Hell, they used to even describe them as “family.”

Now, they can’t wait to tell shareholders how they automate everything themselves, outsource to foreign countries for pennies on the dollar, and utilize AI to cut their entire labor force (we will get to this soon.)

The common thread is that those at the top are completely divorced from their workforce, the very people that happen to also be their consumers.

This was the situation largely even before AI. It’s gotten worse. They are absolutely foaming at the mouth to displace workers.

The only way to describe it is a race to the bottom. Investing millions into replacing humans with AI. This is already happening, and the reward has been big short-term gains from cutting jobs that look like more profitability to investors.

What’s more is that these AI data centers need billions of gallons of water, insane amounts of electricity, and tons of facilities to expand growth. It’s so astronomical they’re talking about moving it into space.

Think about it for a minute: companies would rather provide “drinking” water, “feed” electricity, and pay to “house” MACHINES instead of paying a living wage to people.

In fact, it might even be cheaper to pay a living wage. That isn’t stopping industry leaders from chasing their human-less dreams, despite it taking less energy and resources for humans. Yet they’re still choosing machines.

They are even willing to operate at a loss simply for the idea that they can save the cost of paying a wage.

There are a few outcomes that are possible:

Best case: AI hype is exposed as overblown and companies understand that it’s simply a tool and they need actual operators behind the steering wheel. AI starts creating more jobs. It seems unlikely, but given that AI in actuality produces more slop than creative, it’s possible.

Worst Case: The arms race of displacing workers continues. Their greed hasn’t ever really showed signs of waning. To supplement the slop it creates, they will use freelance labor from countries like India to extinguish the fires it creates and justify not needing a full time employee. They will stop at nothing to chase their goal of a technocracy to increase profits. (Note: They think they don’t need you to even buy their products with the top 1% buying 50% of the goods.)

They trained AI on your work, fired you to save money, flooded the world with soulless garbage, empty warehouses, and call it innovation.

To them I say: enjoy your tasty wheat.

RICO in Iowa: Housing Emergency

A Timeline of Eviction, Federal Escalation, and Municipal Activity

Pre-Eviction Litigation Context (December 2025)

By late 2025, plaintiff Billy Dwayne Frazier IV was already engaged in active litigation against landlords and the City of Cedar Rapids, alleging housing retaliation, discrimination, and habitability violations. Court filings from December 2025 reflect an adversarial posture, including a rebuttal challenging the City’s characterization of its actions as routine and disputing federal regulatory classifications related to water infrastructure.

“Once litigation is pending, best practices — and basic fairness — require written communication, coordination through counsel, and avoidance of unannounced physical presence at a litigant’s home.”
— Court filing, December 2025

The December filing establishes that the City was already on notice that the plaintiffs were active litigants asserting retaliation and discrimination claims, and that the City itself was a named defendant. This context predates all events that followed.


Eviction and Immediate Federal Escalation (January 2, 2026)

Less than three weeks later, on January 2, 2026, the plaintiffs were evicted from the Oakland Road NE properties at issue. The eviction occurred at approximately 11:00 a.m. That same day, a Notice of Subsequent Material Events was filed with the court, documenting the displacement and advising that federal agencies had already become involved.

“I was evicted at 11:00 a.m. I was gone before they came. Forty-five minutes later, HUD called me.”
— Will Frazier

According to the filing, within roughly 45 minutes of the eviction, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) contacted the plaintiff, acknowledged prior non-response to complaints, and confirmed that the matter had been escalated through the HUD Office of Inspector General before being referred for fair-housing review. The notice was submitted for record-preservation purposes and did not seek immediate relief.

“They apologized for not returning my calls — months of calls — and told me my file had already gone through HUD OIG in Washington.”
— Will Frazier


Post-Eviction Municipal Excavation

In the weeks that followed, municipal excavation and construction activity occurred at and around the same Oakland Road properties. Photographic exhibits filed with the court depict trenching, ground disturbance, and utility-related work directly adjacent to the residences.

“They started excavating the street in front of the properties named in the lawsuit.”
— Will Frazier

A supporting affidavit explains that the documentation was submitted after observing the activity without prior notice, out of concern that physical evidence relevant to the litigation — such as service lines or soil conditions — could be altered or rendered unavailable.

“I had not received prior notice that excavation or replacement work would be conducted, nor that potentially relevant physical evidence would be altered.”
— Sworn affidavit, January 2026


City of Cedar Rapids Public Advisory and Response

Shortly thereafter, the City of Cedar Rapids issued a public Precautionary Boil Advisory affecting the same block of Oakland Road NE, citing a ruptured water main and loss of pressure that created potential for contamination. Screenshots of the City’s official statements and public responses were preserved and filed in the court record.

“A rupture in a water main caused a loss of pressure, creating potential for bacterial contamination.”
— City of Cedar Rapids public advisory

A sworn affidavit authenticated the advisory as a true and accurate copy of the City’s public notice, expressly stating that it was submitted for documentation purposes only and without asserting causation or liability.

“This exhibit is submitted for the limited purpose of documenting the City’s public advisory, including timing and scope, without asserting fault or intent.”
— Sworn affidavit, January 2026


Historical Water Incidents and Habitability Context

Court filings also include earlier documentation of water-related incidents in the area.

Supplemental materials filed prior to the eviction document pre-existing water infrastructure concerns and recurring conditions affecting the neighborhood.

Video exhibits filed in November 2025 show street-level water intrusion near residential properties, providing visual confirmation of those conditions.


“This didn’t start in January. The water issues were already there.”
— Will Frazier


These materials predate the eviction and are included as contextual evidence rather than causal proof.


Why the Timeline Matters

Taken together, the filings establish a clear chronology: active litigation and regulatory disputes preceded the eviction; the eviction was followed almost immediately by federal agency escalation; and municipal infrastructure activity and public advisories occurred soon after, prompting multiple evidence-preservation submissions.

“I’m not using the courts as a microphone. I’m using them to preserve the record.”
— Will Frazier

Each filing was entered with limited-purpose language, emphasizing documentation, notice, and preservation rather than conclusions. This record now forms the factual basis for ongoing housing, water, and civil-rights proceedings under review in both state and federal forums.

Minneapolis: Military is the Only Way

Published

on

In the frozen heartland of America, Minneapolis has become a symbol of unchecked liberal chaos—a city where state and local officials have turned their backs on law and order, enabling fraud, violence, and open defiance of federal authority. The Trump administration’s bold crackdown on immigration fraud and illegal aliens through Operation Metro Surge has exposed the rot at the core of Minnesota’s Democratic leadership. But half-measures won’t cut it anymore. To root out the criminal networks embedded in state and local government, President Trump must invoke the Insurrection Act, deploy 25,000 to 30,000 troops, and orchestrate a coordinated takeover. This isn’t just about cleaning up one city; it’s a blueprint for reclaiming other corrupt blue states from the grip of radical progressives who prioritize open borders over American citizens.

The evidence of systemic corruption in Minnesota is overwhelming. For years, state programs have been plagued by massive fraud schemes, siphoning billions from taxpayer-funded initiatives like child nutrition, housing, and autism services. Federal prosecutors estimate up to $9 billion stolen, with most defendants tied to immigrant communities, particularly Somalis. Operation PARRIS, launched by DHS and USCIS, is reexamining thousands of refugee cases for fraud, focusing on Minnesota’s 5,600 recent refugees. Yet, Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey have actively aided these schemes by refusing to cooperate with ICE, releasing nearly 470 criminal aliens back into communities, and labeling federal enforcement as “racist” retaliation. Their sanctuary policies have turned Minneapolis into a haven for fraudsters, drug traffickers, and child predators, all while native Minnesotans suffer rising crime and economic strain.

This obstruction isn’t passive—it’s deliberate sabotage. Walz and Frey have sued to halt the federal surge, claiming it’s politically motivated despite Minnesota’s fraud epidemic dwarfing national averages. They’ve instructed local police not to honor ICE detainers, allowing dangerous criminals to roam free. The DOJ is now investigating them for impeding federal enforcement, a clear violation of the law. And the violence? They’ve allowed riots to fester, with protesters clashing violently against ICE agents, throwing objects, blocking operations, and even pouring water to create icy hazards. Two shootings in a week— including the tragic death of Renee Good and a Venezuelan immigrant wounded—have escalated tensions, yet state leaders blame the feds instead of restoring order.

Worse still, this regime of radicals has blood on its hands. In June 2025, Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated in a politically motivated attack by Vance Boelter, a former aide appointed under Walz’s administration. Boelter, with a hit list of 45 Democrats, also wounded State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife. Conspiracies swirl about Walz’s involvement, amplified by Trump’s posts, but the fact remains: under his watch, political violence has spiked, with officials promoting division and shielding suspects. This isn’t governance; it’s a criminal enterprise masquerading as progressive policy, agitating the left while failing to secure communities.

The numbers demand action. ICE has arrested hundreds of “worst of the worst” criminals—murderers, child rapists, and fraudsters—despite local interference. But with over 2,000 agents deployed, protests have turned the city into a war zone, outnumbering local police three to one. Judges have restricted ICE tactics, handcuffing agents from defending against agitators. Trump rightly threatened the Insurrection Act, a tool used by presidents like George H.W. Bush to restore order, but backed off—for now. Anything less invites more chaos, demotivating Trump’s base and emboldening open-borders advocates ahead of 2026 midterms.

Half measures—like limited surges or court battles—only exacerbate the issue, alienating patriots while handing victories to the left. Walz and Frey’s defiance has created a powder keg, energizing protesters who paint enforcement as inhumane. Amnesty whispers and carve-outs for workers undermine the mandate, signaling weakness. This piecemeal rot allows demographic shifts to continue, eroding America’s fabric.

The solution: Invoke the Insurrection Act now. Deploy 25,000-30,000 troops for a full takeover—expose the fraud networks, arrest complicit officials, and reconstruct governance under federal oversight. Start with Minneapolis as ground zero, then replicate in Chicago, Portland, and other blue bastions. No more excuses—with the One Big Beautiful Bill funding deportations, the tools are there. Anything less proves the “golden age” is fool’s gold, shattering the coalition and dooming the GOP. The military is the only way to deliver results and secure America’s future.
