| A woman has died after her van was ´riddled with bullets´ while she was driving on Chicago´s Lake Shore Drive early this morning. The shocking slaying comes days after a 15-year-old girl was randomly gunned down in a south-side neighborhood on Tuesday and brings the city´s death toll for 2013 to at least 43. Today´s shooting occurred at around 4 a.m. on the Lake Shore Drive ramp leading to Interstate 55. The 32-year-old woman was traveling south with a 37-year-old female passenger in her 2000 white Dodge when a

Comments: The negligence of the national media in not reporting this is appalling. I can´t imagine how fearful I would be if I lived in that city.

If they could just get a couple of the killings to be white on black, we could get the Rev-runs and the media on top of this!

I also notice that once again, we are getting this information from a foreign media outlet. I assume the scant coverage of this typical occurance in Democratically controlled Chicago is for reasons similar to that of why the Benghazi shooting was at first ignored and then blamed on a video. It just doesn´t comport with Rahm´s vision of the city.

It is just more dead on proof that gun control laws don´t work. Pun intended.
Chicago should change their City Emblem to a person with a pistol target on their front.

FTA: "Police said the shooting was related to gang and drug activity and was not random."
There you have it. Chicago is not a dangerous city unless you are involved in a gang or drug dealing, or are in one of the bombed out neighborhoods where it takes place. Once in a while it spills out into the rest of the city, like this hit did. But you have a greater chance of being run over by a drunk driver or being hit by lightening than being hit by stray gunfire, unless you find youself in one of the bombed out neighborhoods where this drug war is being fought out.
These are lowlife losers, the product of the Great Society, fighting it out over drug turf. And all the marches and candlelight vigils will do absolutely nothing until the people in those neighborhoods stop protecting the animals who are murdering their children.
And make no mistake about it. They are animals. The were whelped by "mothers" by multiple "fathers," were on their own as soon as they could walk, raised themselves in the streets, and have absolutely no values or morals or human compassion.
It almost appears as if the politicians are standing by just letting them kill each other. Why bother to find a murderer if you know that if you just wait a few weeks his victim´s gang will take him off the street for you? And then that gang retaliates, and on and on. And no one cares until some good kid gets in the way. But all the good families know exactly who the gang members are, but refuse to turn them in. They are paying a big price for their racial unity.

It´s strange that the mayor´s name was not mentioned, nor was the fact that gangs which are known to run Chicago are permitted to run amock while Rahm burns with mayoral power, refusing to do diddly about any of this.
Chicago and Detroit should be declared war zones; no commerce in or out until the gangs are cleaned up, imprisoned or sent to live on Alcatraz with what I pray will be the rest of the criminals in America, including members of Congress. Especially members of Congress. Alcatraz isn´t being used. Put it to good use. We can have our own Gitmo.
Why doesn´t Rahm do something other than speciously noting that gangs should stop killing each other? Wow. That helped a lot, I see.
The woman is the latest victim of Chicago´s out-of-control gun violence.
"...GUN violence"? As though the guns themselves did the shooting without criminals pulling the triggers? How about "criminal gang violence", Rahm?
How about y´all quit the futile attempts to blame guns and gun ownership by lawful people?
How our media can sleep nights and continue to protect the criminals in high places is beyond my ability to understand. Conscience-less politicians run this country and until the citizens who live there demand change, it will remain so.

Didn´t Rahm tell them--the gangbangers--to stay in their own territory, and shoot each other, but leave other folks alone?
What were the shooters thinking? They did the hit on Lake Shore Drive!

The revelation that the government’s talking points in the wake of the Benghazi attacks were edited to reflect the concerns of a variety of federal agencies has sparked a firestorm of controversy in recent weeks. Some early reports on that email exchange created the erroneous impression that the White House was more deferential to the concerns of State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, who sought to remove from those talking points a variety of references suggesting the Benghazi attack was the result of a coordinated act of terror. The actual interagency email exchange, released by the Obama administration on Wednesday,

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens” project because of their power to “influence real and sustained behavior change” on the eating habits of kids. “With their impressive reach and great potential for impact, museums and gardens can launch community

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure
