Politics Chicago destroyed their version of Burke Lakefront Airport in the middle of the night.

If you ever want proof that we need to shut down Burke Lakefront Airport just look at Chicago. They had the exact same setup and fixed it.

They had a private downtown airport right on Lake Michigan called Meigs Field. Daniel Burnham actually designed the land it was on, just like he did our Group Plan in Cleveland. It was supposed to be a public park. Instead it became a VIP runway for politicians and rich execs to land their private planes right next to downtown. Exactly like Burke.

For years the Chicago mayor tried to close it and make it a park. The aviation lobbyists fought him forever. Finally in 2003 he just snapped. He sent bulldozers out in the middle of the night and carved massive Xs into the runway. He didn't warn the FAA or anyone. The rich guys woke up the next morning and all their planes were hopelessly stranded on the tarmac.

It was a massive scandal at the time. But you know what? History proved him right.

They ripped up all the concrete and turned it into Northerly Island. Now it's this incredible 91 acre nature sanctuary with a lagoon and prairie grasses right on the water.

We don't need to do a midnight bulldozer raid in Cleveland. But we really need to stop letting private jets hog our best waterfront. Close Burke and give the lake back to the city.

Hi Reddit! It’s Brian Poindexter. I’m a union ironworker and father of three girls running to beat Max Miller in Ohio’s 7th District.

A bit about me: I’m a blue collar guy. Started working at 15, drove a truck over the road and got a Class A CDL, joined the ironworkers union at 27 and worked there for the past 19 years, including as an apprenticeship instructor.  I’m also a dad and former member of the Brook Park City Council.

I went to Cleveland public schools and graduated from John Marshall High School in 1997. I lettered in football, baseball, and wrestling. Hobbies include golf (happy if I break 100), chess (mostly on my phone), hanging out with my girls, and playing Fortnite with them when they’re not at home (I’m a sweat). 

I’m running for Congress because working people aren’t being heard in Washington. I want to bring down prices, root out the corruption, and put workers first.

The district I”m running to represent includes parts of Cuyahoga County, Ashland, Medina, and parts of Wayne. 

Election day is in two weeks! If you want to help out our campaign in any way, you can go to: poindexterforcongress.com

I'll be answering questions starting at 5pm!

Politics Showing Vivek Ramaswamy's guests the way in at last night's GOP Fundraiser

Post image
2.5k Upvotes

Someone had to show the guests which entrance to drive in through.

Vivek Ramaswamy and Rob McColley spent last night raising money at Jimmy and Dee Haslam's house in Bratenahl, Ohio. Tickets ran $1,000 a head. Sponsors $10,000. Event chairs were asked to bring $100,000. Address available upon RSVP only.

McColley's chamber wrote the mechanism that moved $600 million of Ohio's unclaimed funds to the Haslams for a new Cleveland Browns stadium. That's the pool the state holds for dormant accounts and uncashed checks belonging to ordinary Ohioans. In January 2025 McColley said he wasn't in favor of a handout. Five months later the Senate found a way.

A Franklin County judge froze the transfer in March. The case is still open.

Ohioans are footing the bill for someone else's income stream. Stadiums should be built and funded by the people making out like bandits.

David Jenkins, the Haslam Sports Group president who negotiated the deal, gave the Ramaswamy ticket $16,615.50 in July. That's 17 cents under Ohio's legal maximum. His wife gave the same amount the same day from the same address. Both were listed as hosts on last night's invitation.

The Ohio Republican Party endorsed this ticket. Same party that holds every statewide office, both chambers, 6 of 7 seats on the Ohio Supreme Court, both US Senate seats and 10 of 15 in Congress.

The same party that endorsed Rodney Creech in February for reelection, 9 months after the Speaker of the Ohio House stripped him of all 4 committee assignments and asked him to resign. Creech told BCI investigators he got into bed with a minor relative wearing only his underwear, probably every night. In a separate BCI interview, Rep. Phil Plummer said Creech described being accused of having a hard-on while in bed with the minor. Asked about it, Creech said "whatever Phil told you I probably said." He denies wrongdoing and no criminal charge has been filed in connection with those allegations. Nothing about the facts changed between the resignation demand and the endorsement.

Same party that kept Max Miller on the ballot in OH-7. Multiple women have made allegations against him in court filings. He denies all of them, no criminal charge has been filed in connection with those allegations, and these are allegations rather than proven facts.

Thomas Massie read 14 names into the Congressional Record Monday night on the House floor and opened a discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the rest of the Epstein files. It needs 218 signatures. Massie is a Republican. His own leadership decides whether it ever reaches the floor.

Ohio has 15 members in the House. Ask yours if they've signed.

Make the call. The survivors deserve justice.

Politics OBAMA'S IRAN DEAL WAS BETTER AND NOBODY HAD TO DIE - Cleveland, Ohio, yesterday, on Juneteenth

Post image
1.9k Upvotes

We had this on the other side of the MLK/E7nd pedestrian bridge over I90 yesterday.

No war needed. No economic shockwave circling the planet. No hundreds of billions in an investment fund for Iran. Instead of under 2 billion in unfrozen Iranian money that Trump kept screaming about, he now concedes 24 billion.

10,000 dead across the Middle East. 13 of our own service members in flag-draped boxes. No cities, ports, refineries, or power grids blown to bits across the Middle East.

His own intelligence chief told him there were no Iranian nuclear weapons. We had inspectors on the ground in Iran with full access under the JCPOA.

Netanyahu has been crying wolf about Iran's nuclear weapons potential for over 30 years, and he finally found a president dumb enough to believe him.

Before, the Strait of Hormuz was open and we could inspect Iran's program up close. Now the strait runs through Iran's gate, traffic moves only when they say so, and they are setting up to charge tolls for who knows how long.

And to top it all off, it doesn't even seem to be holding. The deal is a provisional memorandum, not a signed peace deal, with a 60-day clock and talks that already stalled once this week. The Lebanon ceasefire announced Friday was broken within hours, more than 20 people already killed today. The strait is still mined and half-shut, with tankers idling off Oman, and Trump is calling this a victory?

Make it make sense.

Bring our troops home. They don't deserve this bullshit.

Politics GOP PROTECTS PEDOPHILES - Hit up the weekly protest today at Tesla Cleveland

On a roll after our time spent in Washington DC standing with survivors at the Epstein Survivor Press Conference, we decided to stop by the Tesla protest with a message.

NON STOP HONKING today, even though there weren't many of us.

There are 177 Republican "men" in the House of Representatives. Only 1 signed the bill to release the Epstein files. The rest are also in favor of pedophilia.

FFS even Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nancy Mace, and Lauren Boebert are on board and want the full Epstein files released!

WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?

We don't care WHO is in the files whether it's Dems, Republicans, Independents, unaffiliated, this should be a NON-PARTISAN issue! Let the chips fall where they may, but you can bet on one thing, the guy in charge right now has a deathly fear of the files being released!

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/jeffrey-epstein-files-release-status-congress-bill-victims-trump-rcna229102

If you don't support the release of the files as the survivors ask for, then YOU ARE PROTECTING PEDOPHILES.

RELEASE THE FILES NOW!

Do your part and spread them around like a meme sharing them and saving them helps too!

AND

Reminder:

• ⁠Trump Confesses He Was ‘Sexually Attracted’ to Ivanka When She Was 13 Years Old • ⁠Donald Trump called his own daughter a ‘voluptuous piece of a**’ in yet more lewd comments threatening to derail his White House bid • ⁠Donald Trump Once Joked He and Ivanka Have “Sex” in Common • ⁠Trump’s lewd talk about daughter Ivanka in front of White House staff recalled in new book

According to The New Republic, “’Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led [former Chief of Staff] John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,’ Taylor, who served as a Department of Homeland Security chief of staff under Trump, wrote in his book.”

• ⁠"You remind me of my daughter": Stormy Daniels testifies that Trump compared her to Ivanka • ⁠Donald Trump's comments about daughter raise eyebrows • ⁠Trump told Howard Stern it’s OK to call Ivanka a ‘piece of a--' • ⁠Trump: ‘If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her’ • ⁠Trump on Ivanka: ‘She has the ‘best body’ — and I created her’ • ⁠Trump: ‘Is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to your own daughter than your wife’? • ⁠Trump Encouraged His Own Daughter Ivanka to Release a Sex Tape, and She Was Horrified

Bonus:

• ⁠Trump: commenting on his 1-year-old daughter Tiffany’s breasts. He also says “she’s got Marla’s legs.”

Double Bonus:

For the better part of two decades starting in the late 1980s, Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump swam in the same social pool. They were neighbors in Florida. They jetted from LaGuardia to Palm Beach together. They partied at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club and dined at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion.

Mrs Trump began applying for the visa in 2000, when she was Melania Knauss, a Slovenian model working in New York and dating Donald Trump. She was approved in 2001, one of just five people from Slovenia to win the coveted visa that year, according to the Post.
