Jussie “Subway” Smollett has been charged by a Cook County Illinois Grand Jury. He has not been charged with a hate crime or any sort of discrimination for falsely painting white supporters of the President as abusive racists. He is not alleged to have fabricated an attack for attention. But will face 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct for lying to and then wasting the time and resources of the Chicago PD.

White, MAGA Hat Wearing Trump Supporters Deserve an Apology

One of Life’s Certainties – New Hampshire Democrats Raise Taxes
As Government gets bigger and more inefficient (corrupt), it needs to feed. The ‘food’ is your hard earned dollars, and the delivery method is taxation (fees, charges, etc.). Anyone who recalls the last time Democrats “ran things” around here they deliberately overestimated revenues and then spent them to grow government. When the estimates fell short, … Read more
Now That’s Progress-ive!
Chicago has excavators digging up some 38,000 human grave sites to build a new $70 million-dollar public school in Cook County. Hooray! It gets you thinking though that in the PC World of Chicago, no one, not even an Indian tribe, is concerned about disturbing the dead. Political correctness only stretches so far. Kids can … Read more

America’s Democrat Anti-Gun Mayors Enhance Crime
“Crime when it succeeds is called virtue.” —Lucius Annaeus Seneca
On February 7, 2012, I wrote, “America’s Democrat Mayors Ruining The Country For Decades. The entry followed Kurt Badenhausen’s article in Forbes detailing America’s ten most miserable cities.
Badenhausen examined America’s largest metropolitan areas with a minimum population of 256,000 people and ranked each area on factors consisting of, 1) average unemployment rate between 2009 and 2011; 2) median commute times to work for 2010 based on U.S. Census data; 3)violent crimes per capita from the FBI’s 2010 Uniform Crime Report; 4) how pro sports teams fared in the area over the past three completed seasons.
Paging Mary Stuart Bile!
Even the Chicago Teachers’ Union gets it…. Via Weasel Zippers
Democrats and Communists…
… usually begets the hyperbole induced eye-roll from many, but stick with me.
Breitbart headline: “Dick Durbin at May Day Immigration Rally: Communists? What Communists?”
Together again, deluded communist rubes and a Democrat, what a surprise.
Senator Dick Durbin attended a May Day march in Chicago the other day. It turns out that it was decorated with what you’d expect: Che Guevara’s shaded visage, hammer and sickle flags, painted anarchist A’s on placards etc. The usual bouquet of symbols representing the wilted leftist ideas that resulted in blood soaked suffering over the past few centuries. Gripping the bouquets were rubes too long on idle, too short on history, or (maybe and) just too dumb to care.
Chicago’s strong gun control laws…
Some of the strictest gun control laws in the U.S. in fact. So, this just in: EAST CHICAGO (CBS) — Home from Afghanistan for just five months, 25-year-old Indiana National Guardsman Willie Cook was gunned down while shielding his two-year-old son.

Is it Time To Pull Out…of Chicagostan?
WND is reporting that since the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan (2001 to present) 2,166 Americans have died there. From 2003 to present, 4,797 people have been murdered in the city of Chicago.
Chicagostan is more dangerous to the life expectancy of American’s than Afghanistan. And in case you forgot, Afghanistan is a war zone.
And remember Iraq?
Operation Iraqi Freedom, the name for the war in Iraq, which started March 20, 2003, and ended Dec. 15, 2011, saw a total of 4,422 killed.
We had to ‘pull out’ of Iraq. No more American blood would be spilled there. So is it time to pull out of Chicagostan?
Second Amendment Chicago slap down…
Second Amendment fever is spreading like wildfire…even into the sanctum of Chicago-area Democrat meetings. “Molon Labe”, my friends, and enjoy (watch until the end).
Black Vote In Question?
The fact that I even have to write a title like that is absurd but that’s where we are. And we’re more ‘there’ now than before the great uniter floated into the Oval Office on a glowing cloud drawn by a color-blind team of bipartian BS. So why might the black vote be in question? … Read more
Yeah, this fits
We’ve kinda left the Chicago Teacher strike alone thus far. To be sure, I think it is rather emblematic of the Blue Social model – large public unions pulling more and more from the taxpayers via in-the-Union-Pocket elected officials.
In this case, we have the CTU members earning an average wage of approximately $71-76K / year where the average taxpayer earns around $46K / year. The union has rejected a 16% raise by Rahm Emmanual, Obama’s former Chief of Staff and now Mayor of Chicago. What the Union is NOT accepting is the whole notion of teacher evaluations and other reforms.
New Hampshire Democrats Will Love This Idea
Democrats love rich people, when they are Democrats. They take their money and give them taxpayer subsidized loans to prop up their failed business ventures. They love working people, when they are in unions…baling out UAW workers at Car companies when you know that were it non-union Toyota or Honda–plants in America with American workers, they’d have been on their own. And they love free speech as long as it speaks to their political advantage. If you use your money or your speech to say things that run contrary to their agenda you are evil, selfish, a bigot, want people to die, a racist, buying up (local) elections, pushing grandma off a cliff, a monkey in the window, an Uncle Tom, a slut, whore, bitch, bag of meat, or worse.
(Have you noticed that Republican’s don’t do this? I’ve noticed.)
This Democrat hatred of the wrong kind of wealth or opinion was always present but burst from the seams when the Supreme Court overturned the unconstitutional McCain Feingold speech limitations, removing the gag placed there by Democrats and moderates who were gaming the system to their advantage. This uncorking was followed almost immediately in New Hampshire by an amendment to HB1459 that would not only keep unfriendly money out of politics but empower third parties to do the intimidating for the Democrats so they wouldn’t even have to get their hands dirty . With tax-paying business owners effectively silenced only the big money establishment players, the unions, and the left wing media (all exempt businesses engaging in paid political speech), would have the resources to deliver and maintain any consistent political messaging–and all of it predominantly center left, grow government first, speech.
Well there has been a new development in Chicago to silence speech that New Hampshire Democrats will love.
America’s Democrat Mayors Ruining the Country for Decades
“In a state where corruption abounds, laws must be very numerous.” —Tacitus
Forbes.com’s Kurt Badenhausen detailed America’s Most Miserable Cities, 2012 last week. In formulating his thesis, Badenhausen writes,
We looked at the 200 largest metropolitan statistical areas and divisions in the U.S. to determine America’s Most Miserable Cities. The minimum population to be eligible was 256,000. We ranked each area on 10 factors, including average unemployment rate between 2009 and 2011; median commute times to work for 2010 based on U.S. Census data; violent crimes per capita from the FBI’s 2010 Uniform Crime Report; and how pro sports teams fared in the area over the past three completed seasons.
