In 1914, Carl Sandburg called Chicago “The city of big shoulders“The poet wrote:” Come and show me another city with his head raised, singing so proud of being alive and rude. ” The department of hostilities of this regime, and as a result of its campaign, in its part. “
Those who refuse to kiss this man’s ring are now effectively participants in their country. If you read More disturbing passages In the Hege of Gegseta American CrusadeYou know how the Secretary of Defense Dreams are not only about winning grammar and complete sentences; He also believes that the responsible driving includes the orders of police and the military to take on the side against the “radical left” dissenters in the nearest “civil war”.
Hegset wants to see their “Americans” who think, act and live differently than it is undergoing military violence. Like the Trump’s whole royal court, Hegegset does not work for us. GOP has long fired its base, feeding it with racist caricatures of Chicago. Now the Republican Party is ready to bring the 40-year propaganda fever Talk Radio and stomping what Trump, 31-year-old Youth leader Charlie Kirk calls the “cockroaches” of this wonderful city.
Kirk, however, is more than a dim racist with a tendency to the Nazi school. It was raised in Arlington -hitts, soft, suburb Tony Chicago, which explains a lot, including why he is a fan of Cubs Cubs. On August 20, after the victory 4-3 Cuba, Kirk was allowed to go out on the field and pose with two stars of the team, Michael Bush and the goals of the show. Kirk hugged two players (both white). The show smashed a satisfied finger, and Bush smirked the camera. If the kirk placed photo On the Internet, people in Chicago were alive. Here is this suburban Distin, which is afraid of a large, bad city and delighted with the thought of the military at each corner, smiling next to a couple of the best baseball players.
Nation He talked to Rory Faning, a former army ranger and author who went around Urigal after the visit of Kirk. In order for the cubs “to be linked to this frantic white nationalist who is in the center and in this (political) discussion,” he said a terrible example. Addressing two Latin American players on the team, Faning asked, “How does Miguel Amaye feel?”
“You just can’t let this material slide,” he added, “especially in this climate, where the right is so excited.”
Faning said Cubs first owe its apologies – “especially black, brown, gay hey, transgender fans of women,” he said. But he claims that the cubs must go even further: “Charlie Kirk should be banned in Wrigley Field.”
This is most likely not to happen under the ownership of the Ricketts family possession 95 percent package of Cubs and Wrigley Field since 2009. Paterfamilias Joe Ricketts was under fire in 2019 after a series of racist and Islamophobic emails proceeding to the internet publication Splinter. Next year Todd Ricketts, youngest Of four siblings, rose as Donald Trump Main fundraising For its re -elected company in 2020, which led to a decrease in protest by CUBS supporters. (You can remember the previous work toda in 2010 when it went under cover In Wriggley for TV shows Boss boss and fired for not cleaning the toilets.) Editing in June 2020 in Chicago sun-tims He asked, “What are you doing if you are a supporter of the Chicago Cuba, but the team owners include a guy leading efforts to exceed the most separate, devastating and incompetent president in contemporary American history? Would we say there is always a white sox.”
Nevertheless, in 2025 there was no such edition about Kirk, which punched the sacred spaces of Wrigley Field. Talked to tell Nation“Wrigley is much higher than the Ricken. Wrigley is much larger than these two doofus players that come out with Charlie Kirk.”
The cubs are only part of the major league baseball to Trump regime. In addition, make sure that a dear leader, teams and networks are now being broken up in the icon. During the Mets game you can see advertising that beat: “Join the ice. Make the worst.” Given that the major league baseball is depends on the work of immigrants From Latin America, his complicity in this mode is nausea, especially when you consider that Venezuelans are the second -largest immigration group in the MLB and the open purpose of this administration. And yet, the photo shoot of Kirk in Kubez is especially twisted. It was like a bizarre British in Jodhpur, who overseen colonized India and thinking he was progress. This suburban Illina male, this running argument against the white advantage, does not know Chicago outside the Vrigli.
Thousands of brave Chicagans filled the streets on Saturday, refusing to live under the internal occupation in their country. Protests, including the already legendary salt blockade, look held back these efforts“No, at least yet.” The kirk will be playing, but definitely at a distance. He would never dare to face the “city of big shoulders”.
