7, Nick Fuentes White Nationalist Streamer. Loathe him or loathe him, the 27 year old shock artist and Berwyn resident has an unnervingly large following. An antisemite who praised Hitler (β€œreally fucking cool”) and a misogynist who says women shouldn’t have the right to vote, Fuentes is on the fringe of the fringe β€” but his influence has grown massively in the past year. The Lyons Township High School graduate loosely leads an army of far-tight fans known as the Groypers who aim to take over the Republican Party. However far-fetched that sounds, it became likelier after an October interview with Tucker Carlson in which Fuentes rallied against β€œorganized Jewry in America” and caused a firestorm that split the MAGA coalition. Yet despite denunciations of Fuentes from mainstream Republicans, conservative cultural critic Rob Dreher says he’s been told 30-40% of  young Republicans staffers in D.C. are groypers. With millions of followers turning into his racist screeds that would make Father Coughlin blush, we ignore Fuentes at our own peril.

Chicago Magazine named Nick Fuentes #7 in its list of Top 50 powerful Chicagoans of 2025.

In 1999 Jerry Springer appeared before the Chicago City Council. Spoiler, it didn’t go well for Burke and the gang. Come for the government inefficacy stay for the schadenfreude.

Chuds in Chicago keep clamoring for Operation Greylord 2.0 but I don't think they realize it was about corruption in the Cook County Courts.
