Joe Kent was a frigging crank well before he set foot in the political theatre. The Trump movement never should have embraced people like him or MTG or whatever other crazies the dog drug in. It's not his "new wife" that made his beliefs intolerable, they were always intolerable. Separately, there's massive evidence that he's played footsie with a myriad of white nationalist influencers going back to the time he first showed up in politics (which is why he lost NOT ONE BUT TWO races in a Congressional District Trump won in both 2020 and 2024).
He departed from the Administration (presuming it wasn't because of an actual investigation) because he knows his political career is limited but that there's a lot of money in being an anti-Semitic fringe "right wing" influencer or podcast host or personality or whatever. Just ask Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. There was a certain person who warned you all about these types of people long ago.
I just looked up Spanish flu (politically incorrect name) and the estimated death toll was 50 million worldwide from 1918-20. It started during the end of WW1 and spread rapidly among the troops and elsewhere. What is interesting is the age group hit hardest was 20-40 yr olds. Something about the immune response to the virus. It died out as people got immunity and the virus mutated to a less deadly form.
Another country done with the current Iranian regime.
LOL. Democrats are losers. Their solutions create more problems.
I had no idea who Kent was until he posted on X and lined up his interview with Carlson.
Trump makes mistakes on people, but yet we all do and administrations are large. I am sure there are other bad ones here and there that should go.
Carlson, Owens and several others never really grabbed my attention enough to dive into their beliefs. I have been very loyal B O'Reilly for 20+ years. I don't always align with his thoughts, but feel he is well researched with a firm grip on history.
I saw this a few days ago and looked it up. McCormick Place is among the largest convention spaces in the country and is centrally located, so Chicago has been a major player in attracting conventions. As strange as it may be, the hotels are partially behind this tax as no one except convention visitors really wants to visit downtown Chicago. The tax is an added 1.5% for hotel visits but it is "voluntary". The hope is it helps them compete in the "marketing" business to get the conventions booked.
Sadly Chicago has become a cesspool under the Democrats so the convention business, which already is declining because of cost and tech alternatives, will tail off even more. I grew up outside Chicago and visited all the major attractions. Nothing sounds worth traveling there and staying overnight in an expensive hotel and dealing with Chicago. Nothing.
Check his published beliefs in tune with current and 1990;s Trump beliefs.
They are the same, not till he was told by his new Wife has he turned 180.
Power of The Pillow.
He would IF you consider adding yourself to the Subpoena parade that the Sons gather from Dems, 120 + despite never having even a parking ticket.
My middle Sister sold her apartment in the Hancock Building and is quite happy in Saint Francisville Parish in La. (North of Baton Rouge).
Chicago is and will always be a top 5 location for conventions. Certain conventions are so large that the choices are limited and most people don't want to go the same place. The medical society I worked for had a large annual meeting every year. Doctors always liked coming to Chicago. Great restaurants and plenty to do. They hated Orlando.
The only thing I have to add is large conventions are expensive and someone pays for the travel, hotel, convention costs and entertainment expenses. It is the old way of marketing. I expect this sort of event to get less popular, particularly at the large size and expense it takes to do it in Chicago.
Maybe Champaign can sponsor an event at U of I in summer? I would go!
You focus on stock bets. Are these people stealing our money and placing those stock bets? No? Oh. By the level of your outrage, I would have thought they were. Where is your outrage at our elected officials in Minnesota stealing our money and giving it to Somali crooks? It’s happening in California as well. Hell, it’s all over our country. What’s funny is that you really don’t give a $h!t but you want a ”gotcha” at those in Trumps sphere (and they aren’t stealing our money). You are an insufferable TDS infected fool.
