It’s called The Region. If you know someone from the NW part of Indiana, call it that. We’re south of that area a little but it’s as bad as it sounds. Basically Chicago with white trash.

Both my wife and I are 60+ year 'Region Rats'. Living in the town just south of Highland, this has been our Meijer store for years. It is in a thriving business area full of newer stores, much commerce and lots of flowing $$. Unfortunately we occasionally get invaded from the east, north, and especially west by an unruly, unlawful, and uncivilized element. We desperately need a wall between us and the blue state of Illinois! Now retired, we plan to move further south but must stay in this area now to care for our aging parents. All told it's a pretty good area normally, and our Indiana state, county, and municipal police are very good and very serious about stopping crime.

I was born and raised in The Region. Born in Hammond, graduate of Highland High School. Parents later moved to Munster. I didn't realize the wonderful people there were "white trash". The people I knew would give you the shirt off their back, were good neighbors and proud Americans. Plenty of lovely homes that are well-cared for--many quite exclusive and expensive. Lots of sketchier types of people in Gary, East Chicago, and other spots. As with most areas, there is a mix of people.

I guess the shops in Chicago have been picked clean, so the thugs are moving to greener pastures.

The secretive “Area 51” Air Force test range in southern Nevada established in the 1950s helped the U.S. and USAF prevail in the Cold War. Former Navy Captain Jerry Hendrix argues establishing a similar “Area 52” within Lake Michigan for the U.S. Navy could help us prevail in years to come. (Snip) “Foreign adversaries showed up not only to observe the operations and learn what they could about the United States’ most cutting-edge naval capabilities,” Hendrix wrote in Proceedings, “but also seized one of those assets,” a reference to the Saildrone Explorer unmanned surface vessel seized by Iran in August, 2022.

A new law in Illinois soon requires electric vehicle charging stations in the garage of new or renovated homes. Critics say this will increase costs. (Snip) Within 90 days of the effective date of the act, all large multifamily building permits shall require all parking to be EV-capable. Two years after the effective date, there are similar requirements on other residential buildings. Gabel said the cost would be under $1,000 for the setup in these homes. However, state Rep. Dan Swanson, R-Alpha, said other costs are not accounted for. "It requires a 200 amp service," Swanson said. "That will require additional costs

Washington — The FBI source who informed on President Biden’s alleged role in a bribery scheme said that the Ukrainian businessman who allegedly paid off the then-VP claims to have 15 audio recordings of first son Hunter Biden and two of Joe Biden, a Republican senator revealed Monday.

Just six weeks ago, Greg DeStefano began a new chemotherapy combination. The 50-year-old, from Northbrook, Illinois, had recently been diagnosed with his fourth round of cancer and doctors were hopeful the medication would treat the tumors growing in his neck. DeStefano was responding well, but then, in late May, he got a call from his doctor and was told one of the three drugs he was receiving -- carboplatin -- was under a global shortage and because of the way the hospital had to prioritize treatments, he wouldn't be qualified to receive it anymore.(Snip) low profit margins for generic versions of these drugs as well as labor and supply chain issues.

In case you had any lingering doubts that forcibly shutting down the entire economy over a virus and replacing economic activity with government payments does not represent a smart strategy, the Associated Press has more evidence to bolster the case. Its latest investigation, titled “The Great Grift,” highlighted the staggering scope of fraud taxpayers face because of Covid-era programs. On the heels of earlier AP investigations that showed significant spending on projects that had little to do with the coronavirus, the story provides one major explanation — albeit an infuriating one — for our nearly $32 trillion-and-counting federal debt.
