Kenosha city officials are preparing for unrest as they wait for the Kenosha County district attorney to make a decision in the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
On Monday, the Kenosha City Council is expected to vote on a resolution put forward by Mayor John Antaramian that, if approved, would create an emergency declaration for the city “regarding potential civil unrest" in the event DA Michael Graveley makes a decision within the first two full weeks of January.
Graveley has said he would make an announcement during that time frame but has not been more specific.
The resolution cites the violent protests that took place in late August after Blake was shot by Kenosha Police Officer Rusten Sheskey on Aug. 23. The shooting left Blake paralyzed.
Is Kenosha going to burn again?

U.S. National Security Adviser Matthew Pottinger is doubling down on the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a Chinese government-run lab in Wuhan.
Pottinger, a staunch critic of Beijing, allegedly made the claim in a recent Zoom meeting with British officials.
“There is a growing body of evidence that the lab is likely the most credible source of the virus,” Pottinger reportedly said, according to the Daily Mail.
The Trump appointee pushed the theory as the European Union made a new investment deal with China last week over protests from Pottinger and hesitance from the incoming Biden administration.
Pottinger, one of the first U.S. officials to raise alarms inside White House walls about the origins of the virus back in January 2020, has reportedly suspected since the early days of the outbreak that the coronavirus originated in a Chinese lab.
He ordered U.S. intelligence agencies to search for evidence that it had, the New York Times reported in April.
WHOO! HOO! NO FLU! Only Kontrol freaks like Mason and Bowersox rule Ratcine! Every death - a COVID death! It's not the Great Reset - It's the Great SCAM -O -RAMA Ratcine!
According to the WHO, seasonal flu/influenza practically disappeared this year in the southern hemisphere.
“In tropical South America, there were no influenza detections…”
“Globally… influenza activity remained at lower levels than expected for this time of the year.”
Lower means flu practically didn’t show up this year like always before.
Here's 2019 Flu...
And here's 2020...
Where have all the flu outbreaks gone?
See below.
Separately, the WHO claimed that “various hygiene (including mask wearing) and physical distancing measures…likely played a role in reducing influenza virus transmission.”
Mask-wearing is ineffective and potentially harmful to health.
Masks are porous. They have to be. Otherwise wearers would suffocate.
Aerosol spores are minuscule. Able to penetrate all masks and concentrate beneath them risks greater harm to wearers than avoiding their use.
Everything ordered or recommended this year for protection did infinitely more harm than good - notably from lost jobs and income during lockdowns and quarantines.
The CDC casually said “(s)easonal influenza activity in the United States remains lower than usual for this time of year.”
It practically disappeared — or did it?
Covid is “seasonal influenza” in disguise — in the US and worldwide.
In its latest weekly reporting period pre-yearend, the CDC said:
“The percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza at clinical laboratories is” one-10th of 1%.
It’s practically nonexistent.
For the three-month period in the US ending in late December, findings were virtually the same.
There’s almost no seasonal influenza showing up this year because their outbreaks are called covid.
Overall worldwide, seasonal influenza is around 98% lower this year than in earlier flu seasons.
WHO spokesperson Dr. Sylvie Briand recently claimed that “literally there was nearly no flu in the Southern Hemisphere” in 2020, adding:
“We hope that the situation will be the same in the Northern Hemisphere” at end of this flu season.
If the current trend continues as is highly likely, the incidence of seasonal influenza will be minuscule compared to previous years in northern and southern hemispheres. At the same time in the US nationwide and worldwide, high numbers of covid are reported.
If accurately identified, they’d be called influenza that shows up annually in the US and abroad like clockwork.
It’s unaccompanied by fear-mongering mass hysteria, lockdowns, quarantines, mask-wearing, social distancing, and most important:
No economic collapse occurs that caused the Greatest Main Street Depression in US history this year that’s likely to be protracted to maintain social control and continue transferring unprecedented amounts of wealth from ordinary people to the wealthy.
They’re enjoying a bonanza of riches from what’s going on at the expense of most others.
On December 15, Nature.com noted that “(m)easures meant to tame the coronavirus pandemic are quashing influenza and most other respiratory diseases” - calling what’s going on the “influenza fizzle.”
Claiming “lockdowns stopped flu in its tracks, (outbreaks) plummet(ting) by 98% in the United States” ignored that what’s called covid is seasonal influenza.
The great 2020 disappearing flu passes largely under the mass media’s radar.
Media proliferated mass deception and power of repetition get most people to believe that what’s harmful to health and well-being is beneficial.
An Ode to all those tax evading, shifty, and lying WI public employees (at all levels) who demand a *FREE* ride from the Taxpayers while they evade paying their fair share and a corrupt Court System that allows an unconscionable contract to stand! *LIVING IT UP* on the taxpayers dime -
Attached is a list of the Retires who are suing the City along with a description of the Benefit they are suing for. I opine that it is an unconscionable contract between City Retirees and Taxpayers, one which the City should have never agreed to. The Retirees need to begin paying their fair share and stop suing Taxpayers for an Outrageous Benefit which should have never been approved.
"An unconscionable contract is one that is so one-sided that it is unfair to one party and therefore unenforceable under law. It is a type of contract that leaves one party with no real, meaningful choice, usually due to major differences in bargaining power between the parties.
In a lawsuit, if the court finds a contract to be unconscionable, they will typically declare the contract to be void. No damages award or specific performance will be issued, but instead the parties will be released from their contract obligations".

If HOT Government finds time, it should look into filing an Amicus Brief defending the Taxpayers and bringing this to the public's attention.

"The Wisconsin Retirement System is a qualified retirement system under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. It is a hybrid defined benefit plan , containing elements of both a 401(k) or defined contribution plan and a defined benefit plan.
The intention of the WRS pension plan is to provide you with a lifetime retirement payment (annuity ) once you are vested and have reached minimum retirement age . Your retirement annuity is calculated using both a formula calculation and a money purchase calculation and as a retiree , you receive the higher of the two benefit calculations".

"Note: If you worked in Wisconsin but are now a resident of another state, payments you receive from a nonqualifiedpension or annuity or a nonqualifieddeferred compensation plan are taxable by Wisconsin unless (1) the distribution is paid out in annuity form over your life expectancy or for a period of not less than 10 years, or (2) the distribution is paid in either an annuity form or lump-sum from arrangements known commonly as "mirror plans." Payments from a qualified plan are not taxable for Wisconsin when received by a nonresident, even though the payments may be attributable to services performed in Wisconsin".

Those who are involved in the WRS - including Police and Teachers need to pay their fair share - even if they flee "Tax Hell" WI for another state to evade State of WI income tax. The loophole needs to be closed.

Check out WGN’s story about an executive board member at the Chicago Teachers Union.
“As recently as Thursday,” according to WGN, Sarah Chambers “tweeted to rally special education teachers not to return to work Monday because it’s unsafe. Just a few hours earlier, Chambers posted a picture on Instagram that appears to show her pool side in Puerto Rico and talking about going to Old San Juan for seafood.”
According to WGN, the post also mentions she previously had COVID, got a negative test result and consulted her doctor before traveling. Once the story broke, Chambers quickly deleted all evidence of her hypocrisy and nuked her instragram account.
Chambers, you may remember, was part of that solidarity mission last year by CTU members to communist Venezuela we wrote about.
At the time, she said on Twitter that “The USA does not want people to realize that another world is possible with justice and love.” Chambers also wrote on Twitter that the delegation hadn’t seen a single homeless person during their trip. No mention that housing might be plentiful because over three million people have fled – about 10% of the population.
In 2017, the school district fired her for, as reported by WTTW,
“leaving her own classroom to barge into classrooms of other teachers and issue her own instructions to students, interfering with statewide tests, and participating in a scheme to remove and transport students without any chaperone who had cleared criminal background checks, without alerting school officials which students would be missing from class and which students were unaccounted for….”
However, she claimed she was fired in retaliation for other matters and the CTU got her reinstated, the union says.
Props to Ben Bradley at WGN for catching this story. We might have missed it because Sarah, as good communists tend to do, blocked us on Twitter long ago.
President Trump on Thursday extended a pandemic-era suspension of certain immigrant and work visas, ensuring that his sweeping limits on legal immigration will remain in place when Joe Biden is sworn in.
Through a proclamation issued 20 days before Inauguration Day, Mr. Trump ordered a three-month extension of the visa restrictions, which were first enacted in April as a ban on some prospective immigrants and expanded in June to also halt several temporary work programs.
Mr. Trump has said the limits — which invoke a broad presidential power to bar the entry of foreigners deemed to be "detrimental to the interests" of the U.S. — are necessary to prevent new immigrants and temporary workers from competing with Americans for jobs during the economic recession caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The group was estimated to be around 100 people.
Fox 12 crews on the scene say the group started gathering around 9:00 p.m. at the Federal Courthouse in downtown Portland. They witnessed fireworks being shot at the building.
Police declared an unlawful assembly around 10:30 p.m. before announcing the group as a riot.
As of 11:00 p.m. Thursday, there was no confirmation of any damage, just the gathering in downtown.
This is a developing story and we’ll bring you updates as they come in.
A pharmacist accused of tampering with over 500 doses of COVID-19 vaccine at Advocate Aurora Health Hospital in Grafton was arrested Thursday.
Grafton police said the pharmacist, a Grafton resident, removed 57 vials from a refrigerator and left them out overnight last week. They said the man knew this would render the vaccines "useless" and make people who received them believe they were vaccinated when they were not.
Each vial contained about 10 doses of vaccine. Aurora discarded more than 500 doses and Thursday said it has determined 57 people were given less-effective or ineffective vaccines.
Police recommended felony charges of recklessly endangering safety, adulterating a prescription drug, and criminal damage to property. They estimated the cost of lost vaccine to be between $8,000 and $11,000.
Police said they are still investigating the man's motive and have not released his name. He is being held at the Ozaukee County Jail.
The FBI and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration were also investigating, police said.
Aurora officials had previously reported the incident was a mistake, but Wednesday night announced it had fired the employee after discovering the actions were intentional.
I hooked up with Aurora over 25 years ago. Back then, it was a great healthcare provider. Things are not the same today. I've thought about switching to Ascension lately, but I'm afraid of jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.
