I learned Chicago politics when I moved there, bought my home there and when I left it last year..

A cess pool of criminal politicansthat do nothing to rob the state every chance and opportunity they get!

When Dailey was the mayor of Chicago it ran like a charm. It was crooked as they come,but he took very good care of his constituents as well. I always found it interesting that he so abruptly decided he was going to resign position so that incoming Rahm could then take over it with more to that game than Mr. Daley‘s wife being sick.

I believe you’re referring to Govermor — The governor of Illinois brazenly put up for sale his appointment of Barack Obama 's ... The federal accusations against Mr. Blagojevich wound him up in jail.. His wife was also recorded on the telephone talking worse than any sailor saying “no one was offering up f’n money for the seat and she was going to sell off Wrigley so get the Gd people we need” ..Words to that effect... Sooo d********g!! Now in jail right where they belong!!!

And you answer your own question rather well..

The only ones that follow the law are the legally held people not your gangs or those criminals with rap sheets a mile long that keep their reputation of mayhem just to be the big boy on the block etc..

South side of Chicago is nothing but Gang warfare and the cops won’t even go in unless the r**t squad is present ...
Drugs and immigrants run hand in hand in Chi~Town...Need anything at all just head to downtown at the beginning of the 100 blocks and get wh**ever you want.. Cops leave them alone pretty much because its an easy way for the drug runners to off themself...

Chicago has no funding dems spread it between them not the citizens in better anything.. All they know in Springfield is tax everyone more and more.. They have run off Corporate America in taxation and now hitting home owners who arevalso leaving...

Bankrupt they are too!!! Junk bond status sums up the worth unfortunately of a state that truly had so much to offer...

“Unsafe”: Church Leaders Want George Washington Plaques Removed



Leaders at Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia are removing a plaque that commemorates George Washington because they feel it makes people feel “unwelcome” in the congregation. The plaques, which are on the pew where Washington and his family sat when they attended the church, will be removed after some parishioners complained.

“The plaques in our sanctuary make some in our presence feel unsafe or unwelcome,” said church leaders, referencing the first president’s status as a s***eowner. “Some visitors and guests who worship with us choose not to return because they receive an unintended message from the prominent presence of the plaques. Many in our congregation feel a strong need for the church to stand clearly on the side of ‘all are welcome- no exceptions.'”

Well, all are welcome…except great men like George Washington, apparently.

Washington’s plaque isn’t the only one coming down; a plaque commemorating Robert E. Lee, whose family donated money to the church, is also due to be removed.

“We understand that both Washington and Lee lived in times much different than our own, and that each man, in addition to his public persona, was a complicated human being, and like all of us, a child of God,” church leaders wrote.



Yes, but DO you recognize that? DO you understand that? Because by removing these plaques, you are betraying the fact that you don’t. There is nothing offensive whatsoever about imbuing your church with a sense of American history, and if parishioners are so offended by these plaques that they cannot bear to attend, then they have truly missed – and missed badly – Christ’s message of forgiveness.

It’s often said that we cannot judge a man from history based on the moral values we hold today, but when it comes to a Christian church, the glaring error here is even more egregious, is it not? Because Jesus taught that we should not judge…period! More to the point, we should be much more concerned with our own faults and failures to lead a good life than we are with another’s. Especially if that “other” lived hundreds of years ago!

This would have made a fine teachable moment for church leaders, but instead they chose to bow before the political correctness of the day. That’s a damn shame, because Christianity and religion in general are particularly endangered by the rising tide of illiberal liberals who want to control speech and rewrite history. NOW is the time to develop a backbone and to fight back against these forces. If you give in today, when the subject is Washington and Lee, you won’t have the spine to stand up when the subject is the Bible.

I received this week's Time Magazine which had an article called Infinite Identities. The gist of which is that young people perceive the world as more than multisexual. Besides being in full acceptance of L**T legitimacy, they would like to add DemiGirls, Multi sexual, Sexless, etc. The general idea is that young people see sex differently from their elders, who in their own time just thought about either getting some, or avoiding young men who wanted some. Time gives a lot of credit to the media and social media for turning on young people to the fact that their sexuality can change at any moment, and in deed, probably will again and again in the future.
Certainly, Time has never been perceived a bastion for political conservatism, but I never dreamed they would take it this far. Hold up there state legislatures, you are now going to have bathrooms in every school, not for male or female, or even multisex and sexless, but wh**ever, wh**ever and thensome. How about just digging a trench?
I conceed I grew up in any age where Libs and Gays were considered ok as long as they stayed in their respective closets, but now, it seems that anything go's when the whisle blows. Can't we just go back to Libs and Gays and leave it at that?"
Wait a minute, I have to run to my bathroom to see if I have any updates.

After an Ireland-centric day including meetings with its prime minister, Enda Kenny, Donald Trump attempted to bestow some wisdom by sharing his favorite proverb of "many years."

Only, as Twitter users quickly pointed out, it wasn't a proverb. And it wasn't Irish.

"As we stand together with our Irish friends, I'm reminded of that proverb—and this is a good one, this is one I like. I've heard it for many many years and I love it," Trump said at the Friends of Ireland luncheon in Washington, D.C. on the eve of St. Patrick's Day.


"Always remember to forget the friends that proved untrue but never forget to remember those that have stuck by you," he said. "A lot of us know that, we know it well," he added. "It's a great phrase."

Users on Twitter, including some who said they were from Ireland and had never heard the adage, were quick to search the quote online and found it attributed to a Nigerian man, Albashir Adam Alhassan. The poem "Remember to Forget" is posted under his name on poemh****r.com. It's also, however, listed as an "Old Irish Blessing" by user "GingerSnips" at scrapbook.com. Joanne Tuttle too has claimed it as part of her online book Crystal Inspirations. Roy B. Zuck added it to his 1997 book, The Speaker's Quote Book: Over 5,000 Illustrations and Quotations for All Occasions, also available online.

Trump didn't explicitly say the words he was about to share with his "Irish friends" were Irish, to be fair, though it's pretty clear the rhyme is less of a proverb and more one of those unattributable quotes you find on a 1970s wall h*****g in a thrift store in Omaha.

The author of Trump's Irish proverb is possibly this business manager from Nigeria? https://t.co/bxSgs8yCj4

With all due respect to the president's reputation for scrupulously checking his sources, I don't think this is an Irish proverb. https://t.co/1EvGGMsE9r

Awkward. Rethinking those proposed budget cuts to the National Endowment for the Arts yet?

No poll shows Trump at 52% approval, not one. Not even Hannity could try to spread that manure. Trump Care is in Congress and Trump has approved it. It provides huge tax cuts for the billionaires….Read it. I think you might be more open to information when the Trumsters take away you food stamps, Medicare, and Social Security. Watch an try to learn. The latest professional poll show the Donald to have an approval rating much lower than his predecessors at about 37% approval. Keep in mind that half of Americans are below average in intelligence.
