The Trump Boom continues.

Who else besides me is still not tired of winning?

From Fox Business:

The Dow Jones industrial average crossed the 26,000 point milestone at the opening bell on Tuesday, in a record-setting seven sessions.

The latest 1,000 point milestone move broke the previous record of 23 sessions when the Dow moved from 24,000 to 25,000 points.

Top Ten Most Violent Neighborhoods in Chicago #9

My good friend and premier citizen journalist Victor Maggio presents the next installment of his Top Ten Most Violent Neighborhoods in Chicago series. Number 9 is the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood on the South Side, which gets its name from a once very hazardous railroad intersection. Unfortunately, Maggio tells us it is rival street gangs that plow into each other there now.

And while Grand Crossing is only ranks in ninth place it is burdened by"Chicago's most violent city block--O Block--at 64th and King Drive," says Maggio, who in unafraid to videotape these crime scenes--at night.

Mark Dice: Celebrities Are Here to Help

Some doofus in Hawaii pressed the wrong emergency alert button--wronging warning the islanders that a ballistic missile was about the hit paradise.

What do a couple of celebrities do, namely Jamie Lee Curtis and Jim Carrey do?

They blame President Trump.

CNN's Sh*thole Circus - Uncensored Compilation from Mark Dice

Rather than being a news network, CNN has transformed itself into an anti-Donald Trump screech collective that goes into orgasmic glee at any opportunity to attack the president.

The latest example is the report that Trump in a private meeting referred to Haiti and African nations as "sh*thole countries.

CNN is not angry--they are overjoyed.

Illegal alien arrested for threatening to kill passengers on Greyhound bus in Wisconson was deported before

Downtown Chicago

President Donald Trump wants to build a wall at our southern border, right?

Such as wall might have prevented this scumbag from returning.

From the Daily Herald:

A man accused of threatening fellow passengers aboard a Milwaukee-to-Chicago Greyhound bus Friday evening now is in custody, officials said.

Margarito Vargas-Rosas, 33, of Chicago, has been charged with making terroristic threats, a felony, and disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, the Racine, Wisconsin, sheriff's department said during a news conference Saturday.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Vargas-Rosas does not have legitimate status in the United States and had been previously deported to Mexico in 2012 for traffic offenses.

Milwaukee County dispatchers were first alerted at 9:41 p.m. Friday when a fellow bus passenger called 911. The caller said Vargas-Rosas was arguing with another passenger and later made threats to kill "everyone on the bus" while making a motion to his waistband as if removing a gun, officials said in a news release.

Chicago, where Vargas-Rosa lives, is a sanctuary city. Cook County, where Chicago is the seat, is a sanctuary county.

Illinois is a sanctuary state.

ILL-inois: Candidate for state attorney general robbed at gunpoint in Chicago during photo session

Well, if the point that Aaron Goldstein is trying to make that Chicago has a crime problem, then he succeeded.

Oh, Goldstein lives in Albany Park, so he should know the turf.

Goldstein is a former public defender, so of course society is to blame, but not of course leftist law enforcement policies.

From the Chicago Sun-Times:

Illinois Attorney General candidate Aaron Goldstein and a camera crew were robbed at gunpoint Thursday afternoon while filming in the Northwest Side Albany Park neighborhood.

The robbery happened at 3:24 p.m. in the 4600 block of North Albany, according to Chicago Police. A group of suspects approached Goldstein and four of his staff members, displayed a weapon and demanded their property.

“All my staff acted calmly and courageously and did the right thing by handing over their property to the robbers,” Goldstein said in a statement Friday. “Most importantly, none of us was harmed.”

Goldstein said they were filming for his campaign when the three young men approached from behind and one of them pressed a gun to his side, Goldstein said in his statement. The robbers made off with the crew’s phones, camera equipment and other property.

Detroit's Milwaukee Junction

If see Detroit as simply the Motor City and nothing else--then the most Detroit-ish neighborhood of them all is Milwaukee Junction.

Ford's Model T was first built here at 461 Piquette Avenue in 1908. The Ford Piquette Plant is now a museum. I visited on a Tuesday--a day that the museum is closed. In 1910 the much larger Highland Park Ford Plant assumed Model T production.

This is a 1917 Model T. This photograph was taken in 2014 near Marathon Pundit world headquarters in Morton Grove, Illinois.

According to Google Maps, the borders of the L-shaped Milwaukee Junction neighborhood are the Edsel Ford Freeway (I-94) on the southeast, John R Street on the southwest, Grand Boulevard up to the Chrysler Freeway on the northwest. Then the L reaches up to Clay Street, and finally, the General Motors Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant on the northeast completes Milwaukee Junction.

The neighborhood gets is name because the Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railway and the Chicago, Detroit and Canada Grand Trunk railroads joined here. The tracks are still there, albeit under the Grand Trunk Western Railroad name.

These apartments are located just a block from our next structure.

Above is the long-abandoned. Fisher Body 21 plant at 700 Piquette, which opened in 1919. Originally automobile manufacturers were engine and chassis people. The body of the car, where the driver and the passengers sit, was farmed out--and Fisher Body, which had its roots in the carriage business, received the lion's share of the business. In 1926 General Motors purchased Fisher Body, the division's "Body by Fisher" logos appeared on all GM vehicles, usually in the rocker panel, until the mid 1990s.

In my first visit to Detroit three years ago I was able to walk into the Albert Kahn-designed factory and climb the stairs to the top, which I did, while avoiding a likely mugger who was standing in another stairwell. Urban exploration is very hazardous, my friends. But the stairway I used in 2015 was partially blocked off and the windows in it were blacked out.

You can read by initial report here.

The Fisher Body eyesore can easily be seen from both the Ford and Chrysler freeways.

According to Detroitirbex. Fisher Body 21 is considered contaminated even though over $1 million has been spent on cleanup.

Farther down Piquette on the other side of the Chrysler is the former American Blower factory. This photograph was snapped in 2015. That ugly building can be seen from both interstates too.

What's a Motor City urbanex post without a Detroit sidewalk shot?

Or one without a Detroit alley shot?

Under Mayor Mike Duggan demolitions have accelerated. Many Detroit buildings are too far gone to be saved, some, such as Fisher Body 21, fit into that category but are too costly to raze.

Oh, way on the left is the Fisher Building. After the Fisher brothers sold their company to GM they used the money from that deal to build the art deco landmark, which was also designed by Albert Kahn.

By all accounts Milwaukee Junction's future is bright. The redevelopment in adjoining New Center, where the Fisher Building is, positioning Milwaukee Junction as Detroit's next hot neighborhood. The development on Beaubien Street is ahead of the curve.

Soon Detroiters will be bombarded by "Hot MJ Loft Apartments" ads.

You heard it here first.
