7 shot to death and at least 42 others wounded over weekend in Chicago

The last weekend in September saw seven people shot to death and at least 42 others wounded in Chicago. The fatalities' ages ranged from 17 to 66. 

In addition a there were two fatal stabbings. A mother is suspected of repeatedly stabbing her 5-year-old daughter to death on the West Side. And on the North Side the body of a female stabbing victim was pulled from the North Branch of the Chicago River. 

From Da Tech Guy, Illinoisans: Vote “No” on the Unfair Tax Amendment

 My fellow Illinois residents, your pockets are about to be picked again. From my entry at Da Tech Guy, Illinoisans: Vote “No” on the Unfair Tax Amendment.

The Band- Don't Do It

The reason The Band is viewed as one of the founders of the Americana genre is that they don't just play, let's say, country, rock, or soul. They play all three and more. Here's a soul tune, or if you prefer, R&B.

When Marvin Gaye recorded this song, a Holland-Dozier-Holland composition, it was titled "Baby Don't You Do It." Which is the name of the tune. But for some reason the band trimmed the name to "Don't Do It."

Whatever the name, this rendition by The Band, from 1971, is fabulous.

IL lt guv, a Madigan tool, says Illinoisans face a 20-percent income tax hike if "pension bailout" tax amendment fails

Illinois' income tax--keep in mind some states have no income tax--is a flat one per that state constitution. Springfield Democrats have approved an amendment to that document that will allow a graduated rates, or what the progressives are calling a progressive tax.

The Prairie State has been spending more than it takes in for a couple of decades now and the damage is apparent. Illinois regularly has a backlog of billions of dollars in unpaid bills. The Democrats' reward to the public-sector unions, generous pensions, have also wreaked a savage toll. Illinois' pension plans are among the most under-funded about the 50 states. And there is no way out of that hole under the current system. Breaking the mold there are three ways out. One is a federal bailout--not likely, in my opinion. Or a bankruptcy declaration. And a change in federal law needs to take place for that to occur. And finally, the best one, is an amendment to the state constitution that will allow legislators to lower pension payments. That's an amendment I'll back!

Those retirees earning modest pensions should be protected, in my opinion. 

Yesterday Illinois' lieutenant governor, Juliana Stratton, pressing the panic button, is warning residents that they face a twenty-percent income tax hike if the pension bailout amendment, which is what I'm calling it, fails at the ballot box in November. 

Stratton is a real peace of work. She defeated a rarity--a Springfield Democrat who worked with Republicans--in her Democratic state representative primary in 2016, That independent streak of her opponent, Ken Dunkin, was too much for Boss Michael Madigan, the state Democratic chairman and longtime statehouse speaker. Barack Obama, who was still president at the time, somehow found time, despite his voluminous other duties, to endorse Stratton in that primary. 

Illinois voters--vote "No" on the pension bailout tax. 

If Illinois politicians are ever given an unlimited budget--they will exceed it. 

Illinois has been losing residents every year since 2014. It's easy to understand why.

Joe Biden again refuses to answer if he’ll pack the Supreme Court if elected

It looks like only the local media will pose hard questions to Joe Biden. Yesterday a North Carolina television reporter asked the Democratic nominee if he will pack the court with new justices on the Supreme Court. And again Biden refused to answer.

Two cops shot during Louisville protest

This is not a peaceful protest. 

From the New York Post: 

Two Louisville, Kentucky, police officers were shot Wednesday night in the city’s downtown amid protests after a grand jury did not indict cops in the killing of Breonna Taylor. 

The officers were shot around 8:30 p.m. near Broadway and Brook Street as residents took to the city’s streets after the grand jury’s decision was handed down earlier in the day, the Louisville Metro Police said.  

An unidentified suspect was taken into custody at the scene, but charges against them were not released.

Both officers suffered non-life-threatening injuries, said Robert Schroeder, the LMPD’s interim police chief.

Don Lemon said the quiet part out loud, saying we're going to have to “blow up the entire system”

If there are riots soon--even tonight---we can blame CNN's Don Lemon.

Where's Hunter? Senate releases interim report on his Burisma dealings

Yes, where is Hunter?

From Fox News:

The Senate Homeland Security and Finance Committees on Wednesday released an interim report on their monthslong joint investigation into Hunter Biden’s role on the board of Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings and his alleged "extensive and complex financial transactions."

Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said their investigation has “faced many obstacles” from Democrats on their committees and that executive agencies "failed to comply with document requests."

The chairmen added that "there remains much work to be done" in their probe. Hunter Biden is the son of the Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. His work background played a starring role in the Trump impeachment efforts earlier this year. He and his father have denied any wrongdoing related to his work.

The 87-page report stated that Obama administration officials "knew" that Hunter Biden's position on the board of Burisma was "problematic" and that it interfered “in the efficient execution of policy with respect to Ukraine."

Sen. Hirono insists court packing "long overdue," to be discussed "if the Dems take back the Senate"

(Video) When asked if voters have a right to know who he'd nominate to SCOTUS, Biden Claims, "No they don't"

The national media is protective of their preferred candidate for president, Joe Biden. Which is why it's up to the local media to ask the questions that CNN, MSNBC and their ilk won't. Yesterday when asked by a reporter from Today's TMJ4 News, a Milwaukee program, if voters hand the right to know who Biden would appoint to a Supreme Court vacancy, the Democratic nominee replied, "No they don't."

As he did in 2016 when he was a candidate, President Trump has released the names of the men and women he would nominate to SCOTUS. Keep in mind the most recent list was issued before the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Bob Dylan - Jokerman (Video)

Bob Dylan is the king of comebacks. And after a foray into religious music after his conversion to Christianity in the late 1970s he reinvented himself for his Infidels album. Here's one of the best tune from that 1980s effort, "Jokerman."

President Trump on the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: "She was an amazing woman"

While the "Tiny Dancer" music from Elton John certainly diminished the moment, President Trump had this to day last night about the passing of Associate Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, ""She led an amazing life...She was an amazing woman, whether you agreed or not...I am sad to hear that." 

 

Trump has already announced potential SCOTUS picks, Biden has not

Today Associate Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died of cancer at her home. She was 87.

Rest in peace.

As he did in 2016, last week Donald Trump released a list of potential nominees to the highest court in the land. Meanwhile Joe Biden is resisting calls to do the same. Will that change because RBG's seat on the court is open?

Food tundra: Alaska village under lockdown loses only store in fire

In urban areas activists complain of "food deserts" in the inner city that don't have a grocery store. 

We have a "food tundra" in a small Alaska village because of lockdown politics. 

From Alaska Public Media:

The only store the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta village of Kasigluk burned down on the night of Sept. 10, leaving residents without a place in town to buy groceries, clothes, and other supplies. The community is locked down to prevent the coronavirus from spreading, which meant that Kasigluk couldn’t get help from nearby villages to fight the flames.

Dance party serves as protest against Anchorage mayor's lockdown

People on the right do things, well, right. When conservatives protest we don't block traffic, scream in the face of people, and allow things turn violent.

Other than the abysmal (in my opinion) choice of tunes, this expression of First Amendment rights was ideal. 

From Must Read Alaska:

It’s not every day you witness a conga line forming in the middle of a political demonstration, but that’s what happened Tuesday evening at the Loussac Public Library. 

Two dozen protesters gathered outside the Assembly Chambers at the Loussac and threw what can only be described as a political dance party. The demonstration was in direct defiance of the recent emergency order (EO 14 v.2) signed by Mayor Ethan Berkowitz on Aug. 28, which restricts “loud or amplified” music and indoor/outdoor dancing. Using the greatest dance hits from the ’80s and ’90s as their soundtrack, protesters turned the library entrance into their makeshift dance floor. 

People of all ages participated in the protest, as many performed the Macarena, Electric Slide, Boot Scootin’ Boogie, Footloose, and the ever-popular YMCA. Some were sporting bare feet, others were in socks. They shouted and cheered, and some carried signs of protest.

(Video) The coverup continues: Biden campaign mgr refuses to deny that Biden uses a teleprompter in interviews

Earlier today Jen O'Malley Dillon, Joe Biden's campaign manager, refused to deny to a Politico reporter that her boss does not use a teleprompter during interviews. 

This is the second time in less than a week that a top member of the Biden-Harris campaign dodged questions about Biden's relying on a teleprompter while being interviewed.

Bahrain and Israel to normalize relations

More #Winning from President Donald J. Trump. And on September 11, no less. 

From the Jerusalem Post:

Bahrain has joined the United Arab Emirates in striking an agreement to normalize relations with Israel, President Donald Trump said on Friday, a dramatic move aimed at easing tensions in the Middle East. 

Trump tweeted out the news after he spoke by phone to both Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the White House said. 

Trump also tweeted: "Another HISTORIC breakthrough today! Our two GREAT friends Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain agree to a Peace Deal – the second Arab country to make peace with Israel in 30 days!" 

"This is a historic breakthrough to further peace in the Middle East," the United States, Bahrain and Israel said in a joint statement.

Delaware women accused of stealing MAGA hat indicted on robbery, hate crime charges

The tables are turning in the fairness field. From Fox News:

Two Delaware women accused of stealing a MAGA hat outside the Democratic National Convention were indicted Tuesday on charges including second-degree robbery and felony hate crimes. 

Olivia Winslow and Camryn Amy, both 21, were indicted by a grand jury on charges of second-degree robbery, second-degree conspiracy, endangering the welfare of a child, third-degree assault, attempted third-degree assault, offensive touching and felony hate crimes, Delaware Online reported. 

Three of the charges are felonies, and the two women could spend a total of 15 years in prison, according to Delaware Online. Winslow and Amy are out on bail, a spokesperson for Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings told Delaware Online.

Oregonian replaces "mostly peaceful protest" with "mostly calm"

The left-wing media is a stubborn lot. For the most part, in their efforts to minimize the violent protests and riots by people they sympathize with, they've been calling such incidents "mostly peaceful" for years. 

Such artful wordplay goes back to the occupy movement. "Mostly peaceful" has largely been dropped by the most of the media--but only after repeated ridicule on social media platforms such as Twitter and Parler. #MostlyPeaceful is a popular hashtag used by conservatives in posts about rioting.

Today, in describing a Sunday violent gathering in Portland the Oregonian devised a new term, "mostly calm." 

They're persistent, that's for sure.

They're also losing audience and paying customers. Why not focus instead on simply reporting the news?

The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

Thursday night I watched the documentary Once Were Brothers--Robbie Robertson and the Band on Hulu. Great stuff although I thought the film was a bit easy on the moribund middle period of these groundbreaking musicians. Although drug abuse by some of the other members of the Band probably contributed to those doldrums.

Another documentary of about the Band of course is the Martin Scorsese-directed motion picture The Last Waltz. Scorsese appears in this new rockumentary.

Here's a bit from that earlier flick with the Band performing perhaps their best-known song, and one that may end up being a victim of today's cancel culture, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down."

Chicago anti-violence group robbed of educational supplies, food, and computers

An anti-violence group in Chicago said it was robbed of educational supplies, including computers, a week before it planned to open classrooms to assist children with remote learning. 

Mothers Against Senseless Killings posted photos on its Facebook page Thursday showing ransacked makeshift classrooms, empty boxes and a wall where suspected robbers possibly gained entry. Snacks and diapers also were taken.

"People put a lot of work and thought into donating these things, collecting funds, shopping, unpacking, delivering, sorting. It's not the government, big companies or even the city donating," the post reads. "There is no insurance payout."

Jobless rate falls to 8.4 percent

Good news today on the recovering economy.

From CNBC:

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 1.37 million in August and the unemployment rate tumbled to 8.4% as the U.S. economy continued to climb its way out of the pandemic downturn.
The unemployment rate was by far the lowest since the coronavirus shutdown in March, according to Labor Department figures released Friday. An alternative measure that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons also fell, down to 14.2% from 16.5% in July and 22.8% at the peak in April.

Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been expecting growth of 1.32 million and the jobless rate to decline to 9.8% from 10.2% in July.

“It’s another great day for American jobs and American workers,” Vice President Mike Pence told CNBC. Pence added that the job growth and the single-digit unemployment rate is “real evidence that the American comeback is underway.”

Federal agents kill man suspected of murdering Trump supporter in Portland

Local authorities clearly weren't up to the task of tracking this guy down. 

From AP:

A man suspected of fatally shooting a supporter of a right-wing group in Portland, Oregon, last week after a caravan of Donald Trump backers rode through downtown was killed Thursday as investigators moved in to arrest him, the U.S. Marshals Service said Friday.

The man, Michael Forest Reinoehl, 48, was killed as a federal task force attempted to apprehend him near Lacey, Washington, about 120 miles (193 kilometers) north of Portland. Reinoehl was the prime suspect in the killing of 39-year-old Aaron “Jay” Danielson, who was shot in the chest Saturday night, a senior Justice Department official told The Associated Press.

Federal agents from the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service had located him on Thursday after a warrant was issued for his arrest, and Reinoehl pulled a gun during the encounter, the official said. The official wasn't authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. 

A U.S. Marshals Service statement later said the fugitive task force “attempted to peacefully arrest him."

Winning! Feds say Operation Legend responsible for 100 Chicago arrests

Law enforcement, because of leftists like Mayor Lori Lightfoot in Chicago and Crook County state's attorney Kim Foxx, is a sad joke in Chicago. But thank God for President Donald J. Trump and the federal government. 

From Fox Chicago:

Operation Legend, a national initiative to arrest and charge people for gun and drugs charges, has resulted in 102 arrests in Chicago so far, federal authorities announced Thursday.

Most of those arrests have been charged in federal court in Chicago, where 60 people face gun charges and 25 others faced drug charges. "The mission of Operation Legend is clear: reduce violent crime and save lives,"U.S. Attorney John Lausch, Jr. said in a statement.

Most recently, a man was charged with a gun offense for allegedly “straw purchasing” several guns in Indiana on behalf of a convicted felon in Chicago.

For the second time this week Joe Biden will emerge from his bunker. On Thursday he's headed to Kenosha, where President Trump visited yesterday.

My report from Kenosha that day is here.

Joe's trip north of the Cheese Curtain will include a community meeting. Will he take questions from attendees? Will he do something that he hasn't done in over a month--answer a live question from a reporter? He'll have plenty of opportunities to do so tomorrow as the Chicago and Milwaukee media had a heavy presence in Kenosha. There were plenty of national and international reporters there too. I can't imagine Thursday being any different.

C'mon man! Answer some questions. Live ones!

When was Joe Biden's last press conference? Exactly five months ago. And Biden took only four questions.

After violent protest on his birthday outside his condo Portland's mayor says he's moving

Two night's ago leftist protesters started fires outside and broke windows at the condominium tower where Portland's Democratic mayor, Ted Wheeler, lives. Monday was Wheeler's birthday--and it was not a happy one as the Portland police again declared a riot.

Yesterday Wheeler apologized to his neighbors and said he's moving out.

Reacting to leftist violence is the oxygen that feeds the beast. Antifa and its allies will only be emboldened by the mayor moving to a new residence. And unless Wheeler resigns--which is what the radicals want--and moves far from Portland, the protesters will only track him down to his new home.

If the Biden-Harris ticket wins in November, what you see is a preview of what America will look like in a few years.

Biden rambles at rare public appearance when discussing COVID-19

There's a reason Joe Biden's handlers keep him locked up is his basement.

What ever he had before he's lost it. The spin is off his fastball.

Now Biden can't handle reading from a teleprompter. Perhaps it froze on him. Even so talking about the impact of COVID-19 isn't that mentally challenging for most people.

"COVID has taken this year, just since the outbreak, has taken more than 100 years… Look, Here's… The lives… It's just… I mean, think about it," is what Biden said at a rare public appearance, one where he took no questions, on Monday.

What Biden probably meant to say that COVID-19 is the worst pandemic since the Spanish Flu of 1918. That isn't true, the Asian Flu of the late 1950s was deadlier, but anyway, other than hatred of President Trump, why does Biden have any support?

Photos from Kenosha on the day Trump visited that you won't see in the mainstream media

One week after the worst of the rioting in Kenosha took place President Trump visited this Wisconsin city which is roughly half-way between Chicago and Milwaukee.

Here's just one picture that you won't see in the mainstream media. A woman of color with a Keep America Great Hat holding a "Thank you Trump" sign near the federal court house off of Sheridan Road, the scene of the worst rioting last week.

Trump 2020, No More Bullshit. That's all the profanity that I encountered from the Patriots' side today. The F-Bombs, the screaming, and the annoying chant from portable sound systems all came from the leftists.

I exited I-41/94 at 52nd Street. And what was I forced to drive behind? This MoveOn.org truck that reads "Reject Trump's violence." Huh? Joe Biden, in a rare public appearance Monday in Pennsylvania yesterday blamed the mayhem taking place in big cities, all with Democratic mayors, on the president. Antifa and Black Lives Matter are not Trump supporters. The only reason they're not 100-percent behind Biden is that most of Antifa are Bernie Bros.

Now take a look at this picture. That MoveOn.org van decided to park on the site of an automobile dealership that saw nearly it's entire inventory destroyed by arsonists.

This is not Trump's violence. It's the Democrats' violence.

Not a single Democrat has denounced Antifa unconditionally. None.

That's the roof of the car dealership. The signs read, "Where is our justice?

"What did our community do to deserve this?"

"Help needed! GoFundMe.com CarSource in Kenosha. God bless!"

Click here to contribute to CarSource's GoFundMe campaign.

"Trump saved Kenosha. Mr. President thank you."

I arrived around 11am. At that time most of the folks gathered on Sheridan Road were Trump backers. Then BLM showed up. The guy with the green hair and the woman in the mask were particularly rude.

The most powerful and dangerous fascists in America is Antifa. Nothing comes close. Do you hear that Democrats?

A few folks were selling BLM t-shirts. These Black Lives Matters shirts here, which read "Kenosha on fire," are in particular bad taste because as you've seen there was arson during the Kenosha riots.

Mangia Wine Bar closed this winter. But that doesn't make it okay to torch it. Oh, as I wrote in my Sunday Kenosha post, the artwork is part of a grass roots post-riot beautification project.

That's part of President Trump's motorcade on Sheridan Road.

As I also mentioned in that Sunday Kenosha post, black-owned businesses during the 1967 Detroit riots painted "Soul Brother" on their storefronts. This one chose to declare it's a "Black owned business." But did this establishment get looted anyway?

I'm sorry my liberal friends. The truth hurts. I didn't see any conservatives crudely protest against Barack Obama in such a way. That sign reads, "Dump Trump, flush the turd November 3rd."

Oh, very few of the Trump supporters, including myself, wore masks. Most of the leftists did.

Antifa is a fascist group that calls itself an anarchist organization. Pictured here is the anarchist flag.

This woman for Trump believes "Small government equals freedom."

So do I.

Two supporters of the president being interviewed by a reporter. I was most of the Chicago and Milwaukee media there, as well as AP, and reporters from Poland, Great Britain, and Russia.

How bad was the looting in Kenosha? Even the dollar stores got hit.

I shot some video but not only am I having issues uploading it. I'm in need of a decent and easy to use video software. And cheap. I only take videos occasionally.

Any suggestions?

Buh-bye for now from Kenosha!

Eating their own: Leftists riot at Portland mayor's home on his birthday

Leftist revolutions always eat their own. Always. Ask Maximilien Robespierre. Or Leon Trotsky.

From the Daily Mail:

Protesters in Portland gathered outside Democrat mayor Ted Wheeler's apartment Monday night to 'celebrate' his birthday by letting off fireworks and singing 'happy tear gas to you'.

A fire was lit in the street outside the 58-year-old's apartment block in an upmarket area in the north of the city, as around 200 people gathered while blasting music, sounding horns, banging pots and pans, and playing drums.

Activists - some of whom were carrying balloons and wearing party hats - danced to the Macarena and were heard shouting slogans including 'Black Lives Matter.'

Police arrived around 11pm after fires were started in the street, declared the scene a riot, and ordered the demonstrators to leave, KOIN reported.
