Aldermen named in secretly recorded chat admit sending business to Reyes’ firm

ld. Danny Solis wanted lawyer and political power broker Victor Reyes to help raise money for him, but Reyes had a complaint, according to a transcript of an August 2015 cellphone call between the men secretly recorded by the FBI.

Reyes said four other aldermen — George Cardenas (12th), Roberto Maldonado (26th), Proco Joe Moreno (1st) and Rick Munoz (22nd) — had referred him business. But Reyes griped that Solis, then the powerful chairman of the City Council’s Zoning Committee, had given him nothing.

“How about anything? How about anything, Danny?” Reyes is quoted as saying in the transcript in the explosive federal affidavit obtained by the Sun-Times. “How about anything. Not just the big one. How ’bout one f—ing thing … Maldonado sends me business. Moreno sends me business.”

“I will. I will,” Solis said.

“Rick Munoz sends me business,” Reyes continued.

“I will send you business this month,” Solis said.

“You haven’t sent me any. I don’t know why,” Reyes said.

Two of the aldermen named by Reyes in the transcript — Cardenas and Moreno — acknowledged having steered business to Reyes but denied any quid pro quo, even though they received campaign contributions from Reyes’ firms. The other two, Maldonado and Munoz, could not be reached for comment.

For some much needed perspective, in the 30 years since VA governor Ralph Northam took his now-infamous blackface yearbook photo, approximately 9,855,000 babies who actually possessed black faces have been killed by abortion. Too bad that there are no photos of them.

Political earthquake strikes Pennsylvania Dems with indictment of their union boss

Tick, Tick, Tick: President Trump’s Democrat enemies in the key swing state of Pennsylvania (and in DC, too) have got a lot to worry about, though the national media would rather focus attention elsewhere. It is hard to overstate the importance of a 159-page indictment last Wednesday of the top Democrat political boss in the state of Pennsylvania. Politico acknowledges that he is:

“…the man who orchestrated the Democratic takeover of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

That court radically redrew the state's congressional map last year, leading to the Democratic pickup of a handful of congressional seats in November.

Backing Chad's Deby, French warplanes stop rebel advance from Libya

French warplanes struck a rebel convoy in northern Chad on Sunday, helping local troops repel an incursion across the border from Libya, a sign France's support for President Idriss Deby goes beyond fighting Islamist militants.

hmmm….more to this story than what's being told

An American ‘crypto-anarchist’ fled the country. He was just killed in Mexico’s ‘murder capital.’

Bathed in the sunlight of Mexico’s dry season, his dreadlocks tumbling down his back, a man who went by the name “John Galton,” an apparent nod to the hero of Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged," observed almost two years ago, “There’s pockets of freedom all over the world if you’re willing to live in freedom.”

He envisioned himself as a prophet of American entrepreneurship — but freed from the constraints of the American nation-state.

They were founders of Anarchaforko, an anarchist conference and spinoff of the more well-known Anarchapulco, which brings 3,000 people to Acapulco each year for discussions about ways to “live unchained.” Both were to take place this month.
