I left Chicago 40 years ago, but still know Highland Park is an ultra-wealthy, heavily Jewish North Shore suburb. This incident is quite unusual.

Quick, a mass shooting. Oh wait it is a weekend in Chicago and that is run by dems so it does not count. Dems only want to kill the unborn, starve the toddlers and do not care if others are killed. After all it is expected. After all it IS Chicago. How you people vote for this foll and have an unelected gov is beyond me. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/07/04/july-4th-weekend-at-least-54-shot-friday-into-monday-morning-across-mayor-lori-lightfoots-chicago/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR2qnK22f3KtnemMjZo9BFEUCcl3iqB3G5OT3yZDsbVjkTD047wtDyEcHRo

Highland Park is on the North Shore of Chicago. That community is wealthy old money. Crime really doesn't happen there.

For decades everytime there was a mass shooting, the Muslim and Muslim apologists folks all confessed.."I was praying it wasn't a Muslim shooter", and gleeful in those occasions it wasn't. If they were REALLLY lucky it was a "White guy" and they could point and shout "SEE! There is the BAAAAD GUY!!!" In today's climate? I'm praying it wasn't a "White Guy"

#8 almost certainly NOT a white guy… if it were a white guy, they would have said so. Someone got a good enough look to say 18-20 years old, so they also know the ethnicity. Dollars to doughnuts he is one of the dimocrat protected class. Interesting how they say 18-20 yo since that’s the age bracket the dims are trying to ban from buying guns. Who would not be willing to believe that this is setup to bolster the dims’ gun control initiatives?

FTA: "Prayers alone will not put a stop to the terror of rampant gun violence in our country," the governor wrote. "We must -- and we will -- end this plague of gun violence." No, actually you won't, unless and until you change the culture your side has created. And that is a step your side is unwilling to take.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Dozens of demonstrators gathered in downtown Portland on the night of the 4th of July, smashing windows, shooting off mortars into the federal building and burning an American flag in a protest over the death of Jayland Walker in Ohio. This gathering in Lownsdale Square on the 4th of July coincided with large crowds in downtown Portland for both the Waterfront Blues Fest and the fireworks over the Willamette River. It was labeled a “direct action” march, the same term used in previous demonstrations that turned destructive. Walker, 25, was shot to death June 27 by Akron

After redistricting carved up the House seat in Oregon that centrist Democratic Rep. Kurt Schrader has represented for nearly 14 years, he is refusing to line up behind a more liberal party member who beat him in the primary. On May 17, Schrader fell victim to a redrawn map that chopped up the 5th Congressional District that he currently represents, which includes parts of Oregon's central coast. Oregon gained a House seat due to strong population growth in the decade before the 2020 census, giving it six. But the newly configured district Schrader ran in proved less hospitable than his

GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who is a member of the January 6 House committee, defended his tweet calling Rep. Liz Cheney's primary challengers "armpit farters" during a recent Wyoming Republican primary debate. Kinzinger told CNN's Dana Bash on Sunday's State of the Union that Cheney's GOP primary opponents are "spreading conspiracy." During a primary debate on Friday, Kinzinger called Cheney's challengers "a bunch of arm-pit farters" on Twitter. Cheney's challengers made a point to spread conspiracy theories during the debate, including claims of stolen elections, and anti-vaccination theory.

Maryland Democrats, seeking to regain the governorship after an eight-year hiatus, have an exceptionally well credentialed field: two former Obama cabinet members, one who was chair of the Democratic Party, the state’s current comptroller and a former attorney general. The most striking resume, however, belongs to a candidate who has never run for political office: a Rhodes scholar and White House fellow, who with the 82nd Airborne division led troops in Afghanistan, a best-selling author who has financial experience and was CEO of a big antipoverty foundation. This is Wes Moore, one of the front runners in the July 19

Albany, N.Y. — New York officials denied required air permit renewals Thursday to a bitcoin-mining power plant on the grounds that it was a threat to the state's climate goals. The permitting decision was another example of New York putting the brakes on a cryptocurrency bonanza that has alarmed environmentalists. It also comes at a time when cryptocurrency prices have plunged, wiping out fortunes, fueling skepticism and sparking calls for tighter scrutiny. The state's permitting decision involved Greenidge Generation, an old coal-fired plant by the shore of Seneca Lake that had once been shut down, but was converted from coal to

Governor Gavin Newsom released attack ads on Monday urging Florida residents to move to California in the days after it became the first state to move to offer all illegal immigrants state-subsidized health insurance.

Infectious disease experts and public health advocates are warning that the Biden administration has been too slow to respond to the monkeypox outbreak and that the U.S. is at risk of losing control of the disease. The response to monkeypox is mirroring the worst parts of the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, they say, with severely limited testing and a sluggish rollout of vaccines leading to a virus that’s spreading undetected. “Where we have lagged is streamlining testing, making vaccines available, streamlining access to the best therapeutics.(Snip)Unlike COVID-19, monkeypox is not a novel virus, and the strategies to reduce the spread are well known.

Robert Crimo was described as a recluse by his uncle and others who knew him, including neighbors and former classmates. Police said at a press conference announcing the arrest it is believed Robert Crimo was responsible for the hail of bullets

After the inane generalities, Romney began inching toward his real target: Donald Trump.

It was held in the exquisitely picturesque English Cotswold district but the photos are a testament to the death of beauty in the modern era.

The man suspected of killing six people and wounding more than a dozen others during a July 4th parade in Highland Park is a Donald Trump-supporting rapper with a seemingly-successful music career.

According to his Spotify page, he boasts more than 16,000 listeners per month and has a net worth of $100,000. The rap career has taken on a chilling relevance in the wake of the shooting. Music videos posted by Crimo online last fall include a drawing of himself shooting people online, and a disturbing clip of himself throwing bullets

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is under fire from fellow Democrats for flight delays and cancellations that have paralyzed the nation’s airports, wrecked holiday travel plans and caused Americans undue financial stress. Progressive lawmakers, in particular, say Mr. Buttigieg needs to do more to rein in airline companies that have taken billions in public subsidies since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. “It’s time for the Transportation Department to impose massive fines on poor-performing airlines,” said Sen. Bernard Sanders, a self-described socialist from Vermont.
