#KassforMayor handicaps the post-Rahm opposition (corrupt Chicago politics)
Chicago Tribune ^ | 9/16/2018 | John Kass

The #KassforMayor campaign is en fuego, with hordes of supporters beseeching me to put dibs on Chicago, become mayor and boss this crazy town.

Perhaps they love me for the simple honesty of my Chicago Way platform:

Riches for me and mine, from boodle and asphalt and trucking contracts. And taxes for the rest of you to pay for it all. I will give sanctuary to all voters, even the suburban dead. And if you don’t like it, get your mouth shut.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

Yes, my friends, I am truly humbled by all your love.

But mine is not the unctuous humility of Luis Guiterrez when he announced he was too “humbled” to run for mayor.

The only time Luis was humbled was when I caught him paying just $275 a year in property taxes for a new home listed as a vacant lot. He whined like a baby.

What burns me is the false humility of those entering the mayoral race now that Mayor Rahm Emanuel isn’t running.

If they didn’t have the Spartacuses to challenge for the job when Rahm was in, what makes them think they have Spartacuses enough to run Chicago now that Rahm is out?

The days of honoring themselves will soon be at an end. Reader Tom Winike, a member of my Facebook exploratory committee, found just the message for these arrogant, post-Rahmulan newcomers.

It comes from one of my ancestors, who mocked a terrified Persian king with these words:

“I send you coffee of mustard seed, that you may taste and acknowledge the bitterness of my victory.” — Alexander the Great.

I will send this bitter brew to the following who are making moves:

Cook County Board President and Cook County Democratic Party boss Toni

ITEM--- IN THE DC SWAMP Valerie Jarrett Received $36K Annual Pension For a Part-Time Chicago Transit job
dailycaller.com ^ | 2/17/2016 | Chuck Ross / FR Posted by rktman

EXCERPT--Chicago is known for its L-train but White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett prefers to ride the gravy train. $173,922 Jarrett earned annual as President Obama's senior adviser,* plus getting paid an annual pension of $35,660 for her eight years as chairman of the Chicago Transit Authority - a part-time position - appointed in 1995 by then-mayor Richard Daley (brother, William Daley, served as Obama's COS). Jarrett served as the former mayor's deputy chief of staff and was appointed to numerous other well-paid positions during his term. *NOTE: In Chicago parlance, Senior Advisor means Wire-Transfer Artist.

That one Chicago pension check is what she'll admit to. Wonder how many transportation bonds were issued while Jarrett was at Chicago Transit? Her pension payout would pale against her hidden income from lucrative insider Chicago bond deals.

============================================

ITEM---VALERIE JARRETT IS THE KEEPER OF (smirk) "OBAMA'S FEDERAL INHERITANCE" Iran-born Valerie Jarrett held secret meetings with Iran that resulted in the US giving Iran $150 billion dollars......later additional millions and gold got handed over secretly. H.J.Ansari Zarif, the deputy for parliamentary and Iranian affairs within Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said he would expose "everyone who allegedly accepted bribes" to facilitate Obama's nuke deal with Iran. "... we will reveal which western politicians received monies during nuclear negotiations to make #IranDeal happen,” Mr. Zarif reportedly

Post-presidency Obama and the missus have mega dollars dancing in their heads. Two Clintonesque foundations and the Obama library fund are all set to get BIG donations from his Muslim confreres. We need to see solicitation letters Valerie sent, requests for donations to Obama's final resting place dedicated to the sun god......his billion dollar Chicago library.

==============================================

ITEM--- Soon as they occupied the WH, Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury.

"Mr President, you are now in complete control of the US Treasury."

==========================================

THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move. When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

REMEMBER WHEN? Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel gracefully plied into the gay controversy created after Alderman Proco Joe Moreno (1st ward) publicly announced his opposition to Chick-Fil-A opening in his ward.

Mayor Rham chuckled while doing a graceful plie: "It's easy to do business in Chicago when you know 'the rules.' Chick-Fil-A can open in our town as long as it adopts 'Chicago Values.' "

(1) weekly cash pay off to the alderman;

(2) hire six of the alderman's friends who work only random days of the month,

(3) BIG AL from the Mayor's office picks up all cash in brown paper bags at CFA's back door,

(4) Chick Fil A staff trained by Chicago PD to shoot 10-12 customers per month,

(5) Any CFA customers actually killed must be registered to vote as Democrats at the autopsies,

(6) $100,00 campaign contribution to Obama,

(7) free food to Jesse Jackson, Jr, who was supposedly "convalescing," before sentencing, b/c he screwed up buying Obama's Senate seat.
