Well done Joe Biden . . .
Well Pompous Piles, been downtown Chicago recently......don't think so......how about a visit to the local shopping centre Huh?.....don't think so.
Here's why......
Jan. 4, 2022 Last year, Chicago saw at least 800 homicides, and the overwhelming majority of slayings in the city—more than 90%—were from gun violence, according to law enforcement records.
Sounds like you've been living in lockdown long before the pandemic.
Gosh, you'd be lost without Ruckers.
Actually I believe you when you say that you haven't been bitten by a mozzie in years, the reason is plain to see........with the homicide rate the way it is in Chicago it's not a good idea to venture outside of your front door.
Now that's living in a fear riddled dump.
Quisling Buckingham Palace is much closer to crime than I am on the elegant north shore….your ignorance is showing. These shootings are tragic for the communities affected though, mostly people of color and it takes a callous human being to make a joke of them. Clean up your act.
Putting it on me Huh?,.....you're the one who started it all, I don't see anyone laughing as it stands you're always rubbishing Oz and NZ I'm merely pointing to a dark side in your own backyard.
Oh so now it's the "elegant North Shore"....want me to pull up a post in where you boasted about the "elegant Chicago"?
You are one sly puppy being stung with your own BS.
Old Blue Eyes thought Chicago great...maybe in his days it was different.
It was rumoured that Frank was a hood but maybe it was a fallacy image that so many fall for.

Nevertheless Sinatra was the old type of man that made USA in those days where identity and individualism counted...not like the lemmings of woke culture today.
My favourite Sinatra song sums it up.

From the World’s Best Cities:

PRODUCTPROGRAMMINGSee Methodology
Few American cities fell harder in visitor numbers in recent months than Chicago. Whether for business or pleasure, the city had been attracting tourism at record-breaking levels year after year.
Its #12 ranking in our Programming category—including #7 in Culture and #11 in Nightlife—speaks to the plentiful buzz that Chicago was perfecting before everything ground to a halt.
The hardship of the past 18 months only means the city is spring-loaded to return to its quiet productivity—and even stronger than ever, with the seventh-highest number of Global 500 headquarters in the world, second only to New York in the U.S.

Best Flystralia could do was Sydney at #19.
F at lot of good that is when you can't exit your front door.
Is XXXX, IL Safe?
The A+ grade means the rate of crime is much lower than the average US city. XXXX is in the 97th percentile for safety, meaning 3% of cities are safer and 97% of cities are more dangerous.

So enjoy your egg, it is your customary fare.
Still banging away huh?
Shame.
You're clearly hurting. I feel your pain.
Listen Sucker if the mosquito's don't get you then the wind will, why else would they call it the windy city with stories of people being swept off their feet Huh? And if that's not bad enough a wind chill of -50c cuts to the bone......but if that doesn't get to you then a spade becomes a valuable friend with 6ft of snow outside your front door.
Still wanna carry on with your BS?
Well then throw a calculous around this......
Chicago shootings: 27 shot, 1 fatally in weekend violence, CPD saysSun-Times Media WireMonday, May 23, 2022 9:26AM
You ineffably dumb fool, it’s called the Windy City because of the politicians, nothing to do with the wind ….it’s not particularly windy. As for the weather it’s not great in Winter, but I’ll be in my Florida pad while you will still be fighting flies.
Stay down Tit , I take no pleasure in beating up the mentally handicapped.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF WIND
One of the first known instances of Chicago’s “windy city” nickname came from a New York Sun reporter named Charles A. Dana in 1893, who editorialized that the city’s politicians were “full of hot air.” Chicago and New York were in a head-to-head competition at the time to host the next World’s Fair, and Chicago’s “windbag” advocates were not shy about campaigning for their hometown in order to win. Despite Dana’s best efforts to discredit Chicago as a “windy city”, the 1893 World’s Fair was held in Illinois, not New York.
Even before the World’s Fair debate, there were other published instances of the windy city nickname. The Cincinnati Enquirer used the term in 1876 in reference to a tornado that blew through the city, while also capitalizing on the term’s double meaning to highlight local speakers who were “full of wind.”
From there, the nickname stuck, and the rest is history!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Why is Chicago called the “Windy City”? The origins of Chicago’s famous nickname are not entirely clear. The most obvious explanation is that it comes from the frigid breezes that blow off Lake Michigan and sweep through the city’s streets.
Stay down Fool...stay down.
Hahaha you conveniently left out the full quote:
‘
IS CHICAGO A WINDY CITY?
Contrary to popular belief, Chicago is not the windiest city in the United States. That honor goes to Boston, Massachusetts, which boasts wind speeds that are regularly up to two miles per hour faster than Chicago’s. In fact, Chicago doesn’t even rank on most top 10 lists for wind speeds in America, so why is Chicago called the windy city?

Do try to be more honest.
No Liar, I didn't say it was the "windiest city" I've said it's a "Windy City"....spot the difference?....Tx....but how dumb of you to lay the reason squarely at the feet of politicians when back in 1876 The Enquirer was the first to raise the name of the "Windy City" in "reference to a tornado that blew through the city,"
And then this as well...."The most obvious explanation is that it comes from the frigid breezes that blow off Lake Michigan and sweep through the city’s streets."
Gosh, there's no limit to your ignorance.
My point remains.....the asshole of a place is plaqued by mosquito's, strong frigid winds and uncontrolled gun violence.
Ummm . . . wasn't it Moffie's hero himself . . . Bozo the Clown . . . who described Chicago as being notorious around the globe for its violence, calling it "an embarrassment to Americans" and claiming it was less safe than Afghanistan?
Hmmm?
".........nothing to do with the wind ….it’s not particularly windy...."
Says our Chicago resident.....you just can't make this up.
"The Cincinnati Enquirer used the term in 1876 in reference to a tornado that blew through the city,"
You'll probably find any city that Moffie moves to will become known as the Windy City . . .
Survived 14th Feb this year...but brutal Mafia is a scratch on the back on the whole world today.
"Sinatra knew a man who danced with his wife" back in the 60'ties, now with the libtards they dance with each other
Well done Jotato? Did he manage not to shit his pants again? He a big boy now? Well done Jotato. You earned this gold sticker.
