Teach Your Children Well

The Chicago Teachers Union has long been quite open about its purpose. It sees itself as the vanguard of a national movement, led by unions like itself, that is textbook Marxism. [More]

And they vote Democrat for a reason.

Hey, it’s not like they have other priorities to focus on… (just in case you want to know why “we need” to import H-1B visa holders…)

My Kind of Razzmatazz

Gun violence is dropping in Chicago as police credit new tactics, community investment [More]

In other words, there’s a temporary statistical drop and they haven’t got a clue as to why, but are ready to come up with excuses to claim credit.

When it goes back up — and it will– do you think they’ll admit those things don’t work, or just go back to blaming guns?

Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-town.

Not My Job

Responding to lawsuit, chief judge says he’s not responsible for people who kill others while on court’s electronic monitoring [More]

Let’s just ignore “the law,” put a monitor on this man-eating tiger and open the cage! It’s not like we’ll be held personally accountable or anything…

We Don’t Need No Education

Chicago Mayor Lightfoot tells McDonald’s CEO to ‘educate himself’ after he warns of rising crime [More]

Let’s see, “a bachelor’s degree from Duke University, and an MBA from Harvard Business School” vs. a “Bachelor of Arts in political science from the University of Michigan”…

What a subject for her to bring up.

I wonder if that dancing puppet would have the actual real-world skills to run a single McDonald’s.

Blowing Out More Than Candles

Gun-Toting Grandson Unloads on Shooters When Grandma’s Birthday Party Erupts in Gunshots [More]

If my admitted presumption about the defender and his family is correct, that means the gun-grabbers would rather see innocent minorities killed than armed.

We know they would regardless, but that would kind of put an exclamation point on it.

Much to Their Astonishment

Shocking moment Chicago woman is attacked and robbed at gunpoint by group of men on sidewalk in broad daylight: Terrified residents of upscale neighborhood say they never expected this to happen on ‘quiet block’ [More]

No need for smoke detectors and fire extinguishers– we haven’t had one of those around here since forever… 

I bet Sharon Tate probably thought she lived in a pretty safe neighborhood, too.

You can improve the odds. You can’t eliminate them.

And why does the Vulcan crew of the Intrepid come to mind?
