Editorial: Mr. Mayor, if you truly care about Chicago, you should step aside.

Mr. Mayor,

When it comes to dirty politics, Chicago wrote the book. Anyone old enough to remember awful chapters of our collective history — the shameful Council Wars period of the 1980s, the abuses brought to light by the notorious Operation Silver Shovel investigation of the 1990s, or the details that recently have emerged from the trials of former Ald. Ed Burke and former House Speaker and ward boss Mike Madigan — should perhaps guard against sounding too shocked by news that a Chicago elected official has stooped to a new low. 

But there’s little reason to doubt what happened tonight — the firing of Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez — will go down in Chicago history as another example of rotten government at work.

Ald. Nicholas Sposato put it succinctly in his remarks during tonight’s special meeting of the Chicago Board of Education, calling your hand-picked school board members “a bunch of political hacks that are stepping in to do some dirty work.”

Those who attended the meeting expressed frustration with a range of issues and challenges facing the CPS system — and that system includes the teachers and staffers who work there every day, the neighborhoods that rely on the schools as anchors of their communities, the parents who want the best possible education for their children, and the children themselves. What’s more than unfortunate is that the actions your board took tonight — and the actions they can now be relied upon to take next — will saddle taxpayers with potentially billions in costs that will do little to help resolve those issues and challenges. The board’s next step will likely be approving a contract with the Chicago Teachers Union that the district simply can’t afford. Will the district borrow to cover the additional costs? Will the district’s credit rating, already below investment grade, sink further? The resounding message from your representatives on the school board tonight: “Who cares?”

The damage done to the school system tonight is only a part of the story. Mr. Mayor, in your handling of this entire matter you have demonstrated you are not a mayor for all of Chicago but only for your friends at the Chicago Teachers Union. You have demonstrated you are willing to use your power to benefit those closest to you while using the children you say you care about as political cover for your disastrous decision-making.

Exploring Alternative Cancer Treatments: From Ivermectin to Nanorobots!

Spread the love In the quest to combat cancer, a disease that remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, the medical community continually seeks innovative and alternative treatments. Here’s an overview of several unconventional approaches currently under investigation or discussion: Ivermectin and FenbendazoleIvermectin, traditionally an antiparasitic drug, has been studied for its potential antitumor effects. Research has shown that it can inhibit cancer cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, and modulate pathways like EGFR/ERK/Akt/NF-κB, potentially reversing drug resistance in cancer cells. Similarly, fenbendazole, another antiparasitic, has garnered attention for its potential in cancer treatment. There are anecdotal reports and some preclinical studies suggesting it might inhibit cancer cell growth. Both drugs have been part of protocols like the Joe Tippens Protocol, where they are combined with other supplements and dietary changes, showing some promise in case studies. Tata Institute’s Breakthrough in Cancer Drug DevelopmentThe Tata Institute has been at the forefront of cancer research, developing innovative drugs. One notable breakthrough involves targeting cancer cell metabolism with drugs that can selectively kill cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. Although specific details on the drug are sparse due to ongoing research, this approach aims at disrupting cancer’s energy supply, a novel strategy in cancer therapy. Small Extracellular Vesicles (sEVs)Small extracellular vesicles are nanometer-sized vesicles released by cells that can transfer molecular information between cells, including from cancer cells to healthy ones, influencing tumor progression. Research into sEVs focuses on their potential as biomarkers for early cancer detection and as carriers for therapeutic…
