One of the “Safest*” Democrat Run Cities in America Passes 500 Murders for 2022

September 12, 2022September 12, 2022 Steve MacDonald

In Progressive mythology, gun control does not mean a tight grouping on the target; it means disarming law-abiding citizens. A corollary to that is making it as difficult or expensive as possible for those who insist on protecting themselves. The stated goal is public safety but the reality is the inverse.

Mayor Lightfoot Saves Illegals From Chicago Gun Violence By Shipping Them off to the Suburbs

September 10, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Democrat Mayor Lori “no white reporters” Lightfoot has done at least a few dozen illegal aliens a service. I know; she said she would welcome them to Chigaco after they were bussed there by “a man without any morals, humanity or shame,” but she then stuck them on another bus.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Does her Cranky Statue of Liberty Impression

September 4, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Lori Lightfoot, the mayor of Chicago, is the latest leftist to find herself faced with busloads of illegal immigrants from the US Southern border. Texas Governor Greg Abbott is sending them there, and she’s sending a mixed message in response.

The Leaders of Chicago Are Disgusting Human Beings

August 19, 2022 Ray Cardello

In 2021, in the city of Chicago, there were 792 shooting homicides and 3,561 shooting victims. By far, the deadliest year for homicides in Chicago’s history. You would think this would infuriate the Mayor and the District Attorney. You would be wrong.

So, Red Flag Laws Don’t Work Either?

July 8, 2022 Steve MacDonald

One thing stands out above all others when Democrats talk about Common-Sense gun laws. They not only don’t work but also make violent crime more common. That includes Red Flag Laws, which Illinois has, and did not prevent crazy town Robert Crimo from buying a rifle.

How Does Chicago Celebrate the 4th

July 6, 2022 Ray Cardello

The Fourth of July used to mean something in America. Independence Day used to be a sacred holiday that marked the birth of our great country.

Gov. Sununu Returns Freedom to Granite Staters, Local Democrat Loses His Frikkin Mind …

June 22, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Governor Sununu signed legislation last week that allows law-abiding gun owners to carry a handgun on a snowmobile or OHRV just like they do in their cars and trucks and concealed on their person nearly everywhere else in the state. Democrats, as usual, crapped the same old anti-gun kittens.

Pappas Co-Sponsors Bill Condemning Deaths of 11 Minorities in Buffalo Shooting — Err…That’s Every Weekend in Gun Control Chicago

June 9, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Chris Pappas is a waste of space. A DC seat warmer and reliable left-wing vote, but not much else. As proof, he has co-sponsored HB1152, “Condemning the atrocity that occurred in Buffalo, New York, on May 14, 2022, in which 10 Americans were killed and 3 were injured, and in which 11 of the 13 victims were Black Americans…”

February 6, 2022 Skip

Since deregulation happened in the airline industry, prices have come down such that travel by air has become a “bus with wings” kind of travel. When I started my biz travel back in the 80s (working for DEC as a Consultant), it wasn’t too bad, even if my seat was in the last row on the place.

“In the worst year in Afghanistan, 2010, the U.S. suffered 440 troops killed in action. So far this year in Chicago, 480 people have been shot to death. When will the U.S. begin its withdrawal from Chicago?”

“Schools Teaching Fifth Grade and up Must Maintain a Condom Availability Program”…?

July 15, 2021 Skip

The Educational Professionals have been perverting our little ones for years. I generally don’t post stuff up like this because of my Rule #1 but in this case, it’s time to PROTECT our kids.

Lightfoot Treads Heavily – No White Reporters Allowed

May 24, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Chicago’s Lori Lightfoot is a lousy mayor by all accounts (regardless of her sex or skin color). A problem she’s decided means something. On the anniversary of her inauguration (two years ago), her office will only grant interviews to reporters of color.

Black Lives Matter Truly is a Violent Radical Terrorist Group

July 23, 2020 Steve Earle

I just read a letter that made some excellent observations regarding Black Lives Matter (BLM). The suggestion was that BLM is misnamed. It should be (OCBLM) Only Certain Black Lives Matter.

Democrat Clerk Charged With Altering Nearly 200 Mail-In Ballots

May 24, 2020 Steve MacDonald

This is a story from last year but in the current context more relevant than ever. By which I mean, everyone (on the left) is gaga over vote-by-mail. That thing which even Jimmy Carter agrees is the best hope for vote fraud if you’re interested in committing it.

Chicagoland Virus “Infects” 133 – Kills 38 in the Month of February

With all this concern about COVID-19, we don’t want to lose track of one of the most prevalent and pernicious plagues in America. “No right to Self Defense Flu,” also known as “Common Sense” Democrat gun control policies.

Something Else Concord and Chicago Have in Common – Hiding Sexual Assault in Public Schools

September 16, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Concord Democrats would love to have some of that Chicagoland gun-control. While they wait, they already have something else very ‘Chicago.’ An inability or unwillingness to protect students from sexual predators in their school system.
