NEW: Ken Griffin on Paris riots, Chicago and JB Pritzker I think Paris should be a real wake up call to every single young American. France is the dream the left talks about. That dream is the nightmare I left from Chicago. That dream doesn’t belong in our country. A society that comes down to how much you can take from others. Do you see candidates that you’re actually fearful that’s the path they’re going down: J.B. Pritzker, Governor of Illinois. Yes, 100%. 100%
Ken Griffin on the rise of DSA, Paris riots and looting in Chicago I'm not so worried about it. It's a New York, Illinois, Michigan, California bit of a bubble. If you want to see where socialism leads to, look at France last weekend. It's the socialist dream. The country spends 60% of GDP at the government level. BTW Paris looked pretty damn similar to Chicago in 2021-22. It’s a people… (that) are very willing to riot and protest anything. Is that really the future that the US might be looking at? It’s the future. I lived in Chicago. I could look out my window at the Dior store. They were very efficient. We may be more efficient than the French, even at looting.

"Something changed here... Like one day we came home and the house had been rearranged while we were gone." This is such a good spot. It speaks to people's common heritage, the reason they chose Minnesota, and the unspoken anxiety they feel about the state's direction but are equally uncomfortable in detailing the specifics. The message is unmistakable: something has been taken from us (by the people in charge) and we need to take it back. And this is how you give people not necessarily affiliated with your party a safe place to land. Well done.

Matthew Loftus has written a new book titled “Resisting Therapy Culture: The Dangers of Pop Psychology and How the Church Can Respond.” Loftus observes that therapeutic language and psychological concepts have become so widely popularized that they are often misapplied, losing their original clinical significance and becoming harmful when used as a universal lens through which to interpret everyday life. @DanProft welcomed Loftus, who teaches and practices family medicine at a mission hospital in Kenya, to elaborate on the distinction.

Thank you @DanProft and @MorningAnswer for having me on this morning to talk more about my reporting on @SenatorSlotkin for @ThinkerChicago! Listen and read here: morninganswerchicago.com/mic…
This Communist wants to form a one-party state by persecuting the opposite political party and scaring young people out of serving in government. She refuses to apologize for her sinister remarks and continues to double down on her authoritarian impulses. Sickening.

My friend's autobiography "Built After Broken" is a good story well told. Available on Amazon. Cawley recounts his life with a candor unafraid of poignancy, but which avoids the maudlin. It is a tribute to the formula: reflection + correction = inflection. His noble purpose with the book is to provide an example to others as to how to build their own life while hopefully getting lost fewer times than he did along the way. @MorningAnswer omny.fm/shows/chicagos-morni…
