(Video) Anti-Trump protesters didn't vote

Surprised? You shouldn't be. Of those arrested at the anti-Trump riot in Portland, Oregon last week, over 70 percent of them didn't vote.

NY Times didn't learn fair and balanced lesson at all?

Last week in a letter to readers published last week, New York Times publisher Arthur "Pinch" Sulzberger vowed to rededicate the Old Gray Lady to refocus itself back to "good journalism."

But Tucker Carlson took a look at some Times headlines and questions whether it has changed.

From Legal Insurrection: Keith Ellison’s troubling relationship with anti-Israel groups

The Democrats and the media (oops, a redundancy) have been peddling the claim that President-elect Donald Trump's appointment of Stephen Bannon to a senior White House position means Trump is an anti-Semite. And Bannon is not an anti-Semite, the most serious accusation comes from divorce proceedings, a well known source of disinformation no matter who is ending a marriage.

Meanwhile the Democrats are supposedly considering US Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota to be the next DNC chair. Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, is a former member of the Jew-hating Nation of Islam. While Ellison has backed away from his NOI ties, there are other problems, as William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection tells us: Keith Ellison’s troubling relationship with anti-Israel groups.

Hillary went bonkers on election night

Now we know why John Podesta, not Hillary Clinton, addressed the tearful audience at New York's Javitz Center as it became clear that Donald Trump would be the next president of the United States.

From The American Spectator:

Sources have told The American Spectator that on Tuesday night, after Hillary realized she had lost, she went into a rage. Secret Service officers told at least one source that she began yelling, screaming obscenities, and pounding furniture. She picked up objects and threw them at attendants and staff. She was in an uncontrollable rage. Her aides could not allow her to come out in public. It would take her hours to calm down. As has been reported for years, her violent temper got the best of her. Talk about having a temperament ill-suited for having access to the atomic bomb. So Podesta went out and gave his aimless speech. I wish we could report on Bill’s whereabouts but we cannot. We shall work on that.

"Fast Eddie," ex-Chicago alderman, indicted again

Abandoned home in
Vrdolyak's old ward

Another Chicago alderman, in this case actually a former member of the City Council, was indicted.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

It's the second time for this guy, and he's a big deal, the former boss of the Cook County Regular Democratic Organization, otherwise known as "the Machine," Fast Eddie Vrdolyak.

From ABC Chicago:

Former Chicago Alderman Edward R. Vrdolyak has been indicted on charges of income tax evasion impeding the IRS.

Vrdolyak was revealed in court to be "Individual A" in a federal indictment that accused a Chicago attorney, Daniel Soso, of evading nearly $800,000 in income taxes.

More...

Vrdolyak pleaded guilty to fraud in 2008 for his role in a million-and-a-half dollar real estate kickback scheme. He served a 10-month sentence in a federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind., with former Ill. Gov. George Ryan.

In different times, Vrdolyak was known as a deal-maker. Nicknamed "Fast Eddie," he mounted two failed bids for mayor but may be most well known in city politics for leading opposition against then-Mayor Harold Washington in the racially-charged "Council Wars" of the 1980s.

The onetime 10th Ward alderman later switched to the Republican Party and he contributed to the destruction of the GOP in suburban Cook County, where it was once a potent political force. Do you wonder why Illinois isn't trending red like Wisconsin and Michigan? Fast Eddie is one of the reasons. All but hardened leftists will agree that the Land of Lincoln would be in better shape if it had a functioning two-party system.

His law firm, the Vrdolyak Group, a personal injury firm, regularly runs ads on local AM radio and Vrdolyak Group billboards are common sights in Chicago, despite Fast Eddie's notoriety and criminal history.

Chicagoans are a shameless lot, they get the government they deserve.

Vrdolyak is 78--even crooked pols slow down with age.

On average, a sitting or former Chicago alderman is indicted every 18 months.

Chicago, with a declining population, will remain a sanctuary city

Chicago, for now America's third-most populous city, will remain a sanctuary city, Mayor Rahm Emanuel says, despite President-elect Donald Trump's vow to pull federal funding such places.

People are already voting with their feet in Chicago--its population is at its lowest level in nearly a century.

Chiraq: 5 dead and at least 32 wounded over weekend

During the presidential campaign Donald Trump singled out Chicago because of its high murder rate. As I've mentioned before he's the first Republican nominee for president to make a serious effort for the black vote, although he ended up doing only slightly better than Mitt Romney did.

If Trump runs for reelection let's up that he can point at lower violence figures than those typical ones from this past weekend in Chicago, where five people were murdered and at least 32 others were wounded.
