Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago Will Now Track Tourists Violating Quarantine via Social Media
Oh, really?

Electing Lori Lightfoot to replace Rahm Emanuel was a bad move for the Windy City. When you elect far-left leaders, you get far-left results – and far less freedom. For some reason, that’s what Dems prefer.
Check this out, The Daily Wire:
Public health authorities in Chicago will be checking social media feeds to see if visitors to the city are following quarantine edicts.
On July 2, the city issued an emergency travel order requiring visitors and residents who have traveled to destinations with a high number of COVID-19 cases to quarantine for 14 days on arrival in Chicago. Authorities will now check the online posts of suspected violators.
[…]
Fines range from $100 to $500 a day, but the city has not released information on who, if anyone, has been fined, USA Today reported. Arwady said the city’s Health Department sends warning letters to “people of concern.”
When Republicans in office disagreed with Barack Obama, at least the vast majority did so in a professional manner. The same cannot be said about Democrats in the era of Trump.
Enter Lightfoot, via Fox News:
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blasted President Trump and invoked an expletive Friday in response to his tweet after three days of protests in Minneapolis, Minn., when he called the protesters “THUGS” and tweeted that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
Lightfoot said, “Donald Trump’s comment last night was profoundly dangerous. And we must stand firm in solidarity and say this is totally unacceptable no matter who is the speaker.”
She added, “He wants to show failures on the part of Democratic local leaders, to throw red meat to his base. His goal is to polarize, to destabilize local government and inflame racist urges. We can absolutely not let him prevail. And I will code what I really want to say to Donald Trump. It’s two words. It begins with F and it ends with U.”
Here’s a screenshot of Trump’s tweets:
And here’s what Twitter decided to do with those tweets:
A Lightfoot tweet:
I don’t have much time to myself these days, but I felt I needed to make sure everyone knows how I feel about this Stay at Home Order. Which one motivates you the most to stay at home? #StayHomeSaveLives pic.twitter.com/pDbCdySMQk

US Air Force Reveals Successful Hypersonic Missile Test
This could put the US back in the driver’s seat as far as missile tech goes.

Much like the global arms races that came before, the superpowers of the world are now looking to add a terrifying new doomsday machine to their arsenals in 2022: Hypersonic missiles.
The missiles, which could be loaded with nuclear or traditional munitions, fly several times faster than the speed of sound and are said to be unstoppable by current defense technologies. (The US has played coy with this claim, however, suggesting that our nation is well-defended against them).
Russia and China already possess such weapons. North Korea keeps insisting that they do too, but the claim is dubious.
The United States, who previously admitted that they were a bit behind in developing these projectiles, made a major announcement on the subject this week.
UPI reports a B-52H Stratofortress aircraft successfully released a AGM-1831 Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) over the weekend that achieved speeds five times greater than the speed of sound.
The test was conducted somewhere off the coast of Southern California, it said.
“This was a major accomplishment by the ARRW team for the weapons enterprise and our Air Force,” Brig. Gen. Heath Collins, Air Force program executive officer for weapons, said in a statement.
“The team’s tenacity, expertise and commitment were key in overcoming the past year’s challenges to get us to the recent success.”
The news comes just months after China secretly test launched a hypersonic missile that circumnavigated the globe before hitting its target.
