Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced Tuesday that he is not seeking re-election for a third term amid withering criticism over his administration’s policies and a soaring violent crime rate in the Windy City.

Rahm is Jewish and Israeli. I heard he will Presue Judaica Studies in Israel amazing right before the Yom hadim.

You got me rolling.
Good riddance!!!
Another leftist loony running for 2020 President election?
Even liberal New York City, finally fed up with soaring crime, violence and lawlessness, went and elected a tough-on-crime, conservative Mayor Giuliani to clean up the mess and establish law and order. Then, satisfied with the quality-of-life improvement, they even re-elected him.
Perhaps liberal Chicago should do the same.
This Idiot belongs in Jail.
