Chicago Way w/John Kass: A lesson from Princeton on the summer of 1861

Chicago Way w/John Kass (02/02/26): RealClear Politics’ Tom Bevan is here to discuss how we got ourselves to tenuous climate in American politics, what we can learn from his Princeton senior thesis, and why Don Lemon is going to be okay, even if he tells you different. Plus, Kasso wonders if there is a more important prize for real journalism than The Samizdat Prize?

  1. Once upon a time I used to read the “Atlantic” and other more liberal publications when they could at least present cogent and more thought out ideas representing their liberal point of view. However, they have all drifted or plunged into severe TDS ideology. As far as the two silos communicating with each other, their silo wants to censor us, imprison us, or literally kill us…..they are not interested in understanding another point of view.
    Three cheers for Kristie, it would not have mattered if Tom Holman was in charge of Homeland Security, they wanted blood and they got it. Do not get weak, full speed ahead, and how do you reason with those who want to murder you and your family…you don’t!

  2. Recent comments by former actress Molly Ringwald should tell you everything about the Left that you need to know. She is calling for “Nuremberg” style trials to persecute/ exucute Americans who voted for Trump. Advising you to get on “the right side of history” so you won’t be executed. Yes. This defines Liberal Lunacy…

  3. If Bevan had based his undergrad thesis on Shelby Foote’s work, he might have something useful to say. McPherson, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Foner and on and on – are what are called court historians.

    Hence – we are in the spot we are in now – blind obedience to your rulers. No one understands our past. I do.

    Also another reason why the former Ivy League is so unimpressive – tough to get in, it ends there

  4. I’m firmly in step with James, first poster out of the box.
    They wanted blood and they got it.
    Not quite like the saintly George, But the machine was in place. Like a good army, the Marxists have to strike with the mob they have.
    BTW that photograph of the Corinth Station and diamond rail visual, deserves the highest award in its category………

  5. Thanks John for an excellent “Chicago Way” with Tom Bevan and Jeff Carlin.
    Is there one Kass subscriber who is surprised that Hippo-Man Pritzker ignores the letter from Joe Abraham ?
    Ignorance is Pritzker’s stairway to heaven. It’s what Democrats want from all their presidential candidates.

    They ignore the death of Katie Abraham because they know her Dad is telling the truth about Biden’s open borders.
    It’s a devious scheme that was formulated and scripted by our very own Barack Obama, grand exalted guru of corporate media.

    Here’s another example of leftwing politics “killing fields”. The bloodstains run from Illinois and Indiana to all 50 states . . . https://www.21alivenews.com/2026/02/05/semi-driver-involved-jay-county-crash-that-left-four-dead-arrested-immigration-warrant/
