Township meeting with controversial Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard spirals out of control, police called

The board continued to accuse her of out-of-control spending, which led to an angry back and forth between Henyard and Carlisle.

"I am the leader for Thornton Township. I am the supervisor of Thornton Township," Henyard said, "And I'm going to make sure you all give me my respect and stop playing these games every time you come to the meeting."

"Respect is earned. It is not demanded," Carlisle said.

The meeting got more heated as Henyard and Carlisle accused each other of being liars, according to footage from ABC7 Chicago.

"She lies all the time," Henyard said.

"No, you lie all the time," Carlisle responded, with a few people cheering at her comment.

Some fireworks in Thornton Township. My grandparents lived there for more than 50 years.

The police have had to be called to break up scuffles which broke out at meetings.

In June, police officers broke up a scuffle between supporters and opponents of Henyard before it turned violent.

In May, Lightfoot’s investigation into the town’s financial situation revealed in a preliminary report that Dolton's general fund balance was $5.61 million in 2022, but by May 2024 the balance had dropped to a deficit of $3.65 million.

Meanwhile, Henyard has come under fire for extravagant spending on the taxpayer's dime. Most recently, she spent approximately $85,000 to throw a party that featured R&B singer Keke Wyatt and rapper J. Holiday last month.

Sheesh.

I guess "Crooked Media" is the name of the company. They're not saying the event was crooked.

Per organizers, those participating include Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, Wil Wheaton, Jonathan Del Arco, Jeri Ryan, Rosalind Chao, Tawny Newsome, Eugene Cordero, and Noël Wells. Also expected: Mike McMahan, writer and producer of Star Trek: Lower Decks. The event will be hosted by Pod Save America’s Jon Lovett and Trek’s and the City’s Alice Wetterlund.

The event will take place at 4 p.m. PT on Oct. 2 at a venue in Los Angeles and via livestream.

Wesley Crusher is giving his endorsement to Kamala.

There was an event earlier this week for Geeks and Nerds For Harris, featuring Luke Skywalker and "Joker" from Full Metal Jacket.

Earlier this week, Lynda Carter headlined a Geeks and Nerds for Harris event, with Mark Hamill, Jon Cryer, Matthew Modine and Patty Jenkins among the participants.

Now the truth has been revealed:

Face it, Trump is a communist

"Trump and his minions call Kamala a communist. I know communism. I fled communism from Nicaragua when I was 8 years old. I don’t take it lightly. And let me tell you what communist dictators do. …​
"They attack the free press. They call them the enemy of the people, like Ortega does in Nicaragua. They put their unqualified relatives in cushy government jobs, so they can get rich off their positions, like the Castros do in Cuba. And they refuse to accept legitimate elections when they lose and call for violence to stay in power, like Maduro is doing right now in Venezuela.​
"Now you tell me something. Do any of those things sound familiar? Is there anybody running for president who reminds you of that?"​
That’s about power, but economics plays a role, too.​
History is filled with communist dictators who enacted economic agendas not because their policies were based on sound principles and solid data but because they served an immediate political interest. The outcome was sometimes the ruination of their country’s populations.​
...​
Anyone who knows anything about economics knows indiscriminate tariffs would help no one while harming everyone. Yet he keeps talking about them as if he cares about their real-world consequences. He doesn’t. He only cares about whether they work for him politically.​
In that, he’s just like a communist dictator.​

I like this.

Democrats and Republicans should stand together and declare, ‘As Democrats and Republicans, we are all equally stupid. We share the same basic ideology of political stupidity. No more does one party call itself ‘genius.’ No more does the other call itself ‘stupid.’ We are both simply stupid. What else could we possibly be in this country? Stupidity is the foundational political philosophy of this great nation. Therefore, we have decided that we would only differ in that each party would have its own emphases within the great tradition of stupidity. One party would emphasize dumb ideas. The other party would emphasize feeble-minded ideas. During elections, the people would vote for whichever party’s emphases are most relevant or helpful at the time. In that way, no party would champion strange ideologies, there would be no extremes, and everybody would be reminded that stupidity—and nothing else—is our real and national ideology.’
