Hundreds of protesters marched to the home of Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday to criticize her leadership of the Windy City. At the demonstration organized by over 40 organizations, including Black Lives Matter Chicago and the Chicago Teachers Union, progressive protesters grumbled that the far-left Democratic mayor failed the people of Chicago.
On the two-year anniversary of the mayor’s time in office, more than 300 protesters gathered outside Lightfoot’s home in the Logan Square neighborhood in Chicago. The demonstrators voiced their complaints about Lightfoot’s handling of several issues, including the coronavirus recovery, police reform, housing, education, the environment, and racial injustice.
Demonstrators held up report cards of Lightfoot’s performance, for which she received failing grades on all of the issues. One report card gave Lightfoot a letter grade of “F” for her policies regarding law enforcement, especially for not defunding the police .

“For the past 2 years, Lightfoot’s Administration has continued to ignore the demands of its people,” Black Lives Matter Chicago wrote on its Facebook page . “This administration has failed on multiple issues – from environmental justice to education to policing to housing and COVID recovery.”
Good Kids Mad City, one of the community organizations that organized the protest and is a group for ‘black and brown youth united in fighting to end violence in our cities,” posted a video on Twitter of demonstrators chanting, “F*** Lori Lightfoot!”
“We are here to deliver Lori Lightfoot her report card that says she has failed us in every possible way,” protester Oscar Gonzalez told WLS-TV .
“It’s not enough to be black, it’s not enough to be female, you gotta be right,” Tara Stamps, a veteran Chicago Public Schools teacher, told WFLD .

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
