Hypocrisy of campaign spending
Kim Foxx is upset with Bill Conway spending millions of his father’s money trying to win the Democratic nomination for Cook County State’s Attorney.
I would feel much more comfortable with her position had she called out Gov. J.B. Pritzker for spending millions to win his election or if she had taken a position on Michael Bloomberg spending a billion dollars or Tom Steyer spending $250 million to try and purchase the Democratic nomination for president.
Foxx has also failed to comment on George Soros spending $2 million dollars supporting her renomination.

Bloomberg wealth’s power to silence the media
Because Michael Bloomberg is massively wealthy, the ability of the TV and cable networks to accurately report on his campaign is severely compromised.
His media buys are in the millions of dollars and represent much needed revenue to the cash-strapped networks. Fear of Bloomberg taking offense at criticism has and will continue to cause commentators to self-censor themselves.
It is the nation’s worse case scenario: two powerful oligarchs — President Donald Trump and Bloomberg immunizing themselves from criticism through fear and intimidation.

Trump, address coronavirus asap
As the coronavirus spreads and Wall Street stocks take a dive, President Donald Trump has an opportunity to really address a crisis rather than do what he’s done for three years — create crises.
