We're doing things wrong in Gaza and Israel. From my post at Da Tech Guy, This should be our policy in Israel: American hostages released or Hamas leaders dead.
Another teen male, a 16-year-old, was fatally shot in Austin on the West Side.
The fourth weekend homicide was of a man in the Roseland neighborhood, which is also the on Far South Side.
A least 20 others were wounded in Chicago weekend shootings.
Here's a journey that you need to take. From my post at Da Tech Guy:
Even when you are wide awake, there's a good chance you'll be a crime victim on a Chicago Transit Authority train.
From ABC Chicago:
A woman said her emotional support dog was stolen while she was riding on a CTA Red Line train.
Terry Perkins said she was riding the Red Line and was between the Wilson and Howard stops when she dozed off, then awoke to find her dog Elsa was gone.The stretch on the North Side where Perkins was riding is particularly dangerous, as I've observed.
My look at media bias at Da Tech Guy: National media ignores big Chicago anti-migrant march.
Union members--I used to be one--need to pay close attention to this post.
Brandon Johnson, Chicago's new leftist mayor, sees himself as the Moses of the homeless and the migrants.
As for the homeless, the Selina Chicago Hotel in Streeterville, which was previously the Tremont, has been experiencing financial problems, which isn't surprising. Under Johnson's predecessor, COVID lockdown queen Lori Lightfoot, the Magnificent Mile area, which includes Streeterville, suffered badly. Two rounds of rioting and looting made the economic situation worse.
Now some workers---union ones--are out of work.
From Fox Business:
A boutique hotel in Chicago will become a temporary homeless shelter, the city announced, but the move has rankled workers, who say they're being laid off as a result of the move.
Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson's office said the Selina Chicago hotel is being converted to a homeless shelter ahead of the winter months, giving those without housing a place to stay, according to FOX 32.
"We’re trying to care for all people," Johnson's Press Secretary Ronnie Reese said. "It’s about providing unhoused Chicagoans with a warm place to stay during the winter months."
It comes as the city struggles to find housing for migrants, as 20,500 have arrived in Chicago since 2022, according to CBS Chicago.
A small protest organized by the local hospitality union workers union was held outside the Selina yesterday. They'll be out of work because Brandon Johnson wants their hotel to be a homeless shelter.
Unions need to watch their backs. The move to electric vehicles--a push by the Democrats--will mean fewer UAW jobs.
What did Vladimir Lenin supposedly say about "useless idiots?"
Unless otherwise marked--usually at dangerous intersections--right turn on red has been, everywhere I travel in America, legal.
And folks, while driving, please keep an eye out for cyclists and pedestrians. As a runner, I am aware of the danger from vehicles.
On the flipside, right turn on red saves energy, it saves time, and it means less fumes from motor vehicles entering the atmosphere.
But the left's anti-car and truck wing wants to get rid of it.
Washington, D.C.’s City Council last year approved a right-on-red ban that takes effect in 2025. New Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s transition plan called for “restricting right turns on red,” but his administration hasn’t provided specifics.
The college town of Ann Arbor, Michigan, now prohibits right turns at red lights in the downtown area. San Francisco leaders recently voted to urge their transportation agency to ban right on red across the city, and other major cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle and Denver have looked into bans as well.My guess is that at least 90 percent of the people reading this post favor right turn on red. Speak up now.
Another tragic weekend has passed in Chicago. During that time, seven people were shot to death and at least 28 others were wounded. Among those non-fatal victims is an 11-year-old girl from Englewood, who was shot in the head while in her home. She is in critical condition.
To cop an old remark, you can't tell good and evil without a scorecard.
