Why Are Deranged People Walking Chicago's Streets?

I saw this story out of Chicago today and it made me think of all the similar stories in places like Seattle, Portland and New York. The person in this story is a violent offender named William Livingston who has a long history of punching random women in the face and then walking away. Livingston has been arrested dozens of times and even gone to prison in the past, but no matter how many times this happens, he is always back on the street and going back to the same violent behavior. This week he was arrested yet again for two violent attacks that occurred in June.

Why are nutjobs walking Chicago's streets? Because there are nutjobs in charge of Chicago. That was easy.

Why are deranged people walking Chicago's streets? Some truly need hospitalization and medical intervention. But others? Could it be that the way the media reports these violent incidents gives a predator an opportunity to become a sick kind of celebrity? Sick, but a celebrity no less. And when he gets the attention he craves he claims that HE is the victim because he's black. Or gay. Or a trans Native American midget with a history of substance abuse due to a childhood comprised of an absent father and a 16 yr old homeless mother of 2. And anyone legitimately trying to help is accused of being aggressive (or worse) so even the cops look the other way. In other words, deranged people walk the streets because WE have created a very sick, irresponsible society that seems to celebrate corruption and perversion. It's on us---it it's not too late.

Because we no longer put people in mental institutions and our big cities all have liberal government that finds fear a useful tool.

Recidivism like Livingston's proves that the courts are at best impotent; at worst in on it. Instead of three strikes and you're out, it should be three strikes and lights out. Why should we pay for these monsters to ply their trade, with occasional vacations at the Gray Bar All Inclusive?

We once had it right when we had more mental institutions and far fewer psychiatrists and social workers. Some people have never progressed above the level of animal and never will in a full lifetime. Other than euthanasia, being locked up is the only answer. On another note, Chicago is a place that can drive one crazy. I once unwisely accepted a job there for more money. After doing my contracted year I said "no thanks" and got the heck out of there. Life was miserable in all aspects. The politicians were crooked, the police were crooked and corruption was the rule. The last two mayors have been DEI disasters but they had elected a long string of them before Lightfoot.

I'm convinced that the current extremely high levels of THC in weed are activating psychosis in people who have a latent tendency. In the 70s THC levels were like 1% in weed, now it is 25-30%. This is damaging brains, big time. And old hippy types who remember smoking some 1970s or 1980s low THC weed keep saying "it's harmless". Nope, it is frying brains by the millions.

Well, Pritzker and the Mayor of Chicago walk those streets, too. Among my life goals for my remaining years is to never set foot in Chicago again. Including airports.

Kamala Harris is back once again with an extremely interesting new angle on her 2024 election failure. Her memoir "107 Days" was released a couple of months ago, and she is about to wrap up her book tour (one that Democrats aren't too wild about, by the way) with a final stop on November 20. Not too terribly long ago, Harris told Stephen Colbert she was stepping away from politics because the "system is broken" — only to tease a 2028 run at the end of October.

Chuck Grassley. The Iowa Republican senator raised the issue in a hearing with Attorney General Pam Bondi and questioned whether the FBI and Justice Department fully investigated the findings.

A Michigan woman said her 11-year-old son was expelled after he disassembled a loaded gun his classmate brought to school. Savitra McClurkin said she has been trying to enroll her son, Sakir Everett, into another school ever since he was abruptly kicked out of Dwight Rich School of the Arts in Lansing in May. "I'm upset with everybody," McClurkin said in a phone interview Monday. "I'm not just mad at the district, I'm mad at some of these teachers, administrators, as well as the city, because they did not handle this right."

Air traffic controllers urgently and repeatedly ordered the pilots of Spirit Airlines flight 1300 to turn away from Air Force One Tuesday over Long Island, New York. The Spirit flight was traveling from Fort Lauderdale to Boston as Air Force One was carrying President Trump, first lady Melania Trump and many others to a state visit to the United Kingdom.

Liberal women are kinda nuts. Have you noticed? Well, a new study out of Quebec, published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research, might shed some light on the reason why. The researchers found that women who have abortions are more than twice as likely to end up hospitalized for psychiatric problems compared to women who carry their pregnancies to term. This isn’t some fringe finding; it’s based on a massive study tracking over 1.2 million pregnancies for up to 17 years. The numbers don’t lie: for every 10,000 person-years, 104 women who aborted ended up hospitalized for serious mental health issues like psychiatric disorders, substance abuse,

James Dobson, a child psychologist who founded the conservative ministry Focus on the Family and was a politically influential campaigner against abortion and LGBTQ+ rights, died on Thursday. He was 89. His death was confirmed by the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute. Born in 1936 in Shreveport, Louisiana, Dobson started a radio show counseling Christians on how to be good parents and in 1977 founded Focus on the Family.

The scope and sequencing of these strikes—outlined in a Wall Street Journal op-ed in October 2024—suggest objectives that go well beyond deterrence, aiming instead to pave the way for regime change in Tehran.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) is taking a strong stand to protect federal law enforcement officers from the dangerous and growing threat of doxxing— publicly revealing someone’s private or personal information online. Her new legislation aims to safeguard the privacy and safety of those who put their lives on the line to keep Americans safe by making it a federal crime to publish their personal information online maliciously. This comes as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have increasingly been targeted by anti-ICE activists who have escalated their efforts to disrupt immigration enforcement and

A bombshell peer-reviewed study out of Germany just dismantled the scientific foundation used to justify lockdowns, social distancing, and vaccine mandates. When researchers compared the ALM’s week-by-week PCR positivity rates with the same labs’ IgG antibody testing data — essentially measuring who truly developed infection-induced immunity — they discovered something staggering: Only about 14% of those who tested PCR-positive during the early pandemic period (2020–mid-2021) actually developed antibodies — meaning most early “cases” were never real infections.

Would you believe that in the entirety of human history, no one has been oppressed as much as Michelle Obama? It’s true. Whenever she gets in front of a microphone, she can’t help but complain about how unfairly she’s been treated, how terrible white people are, or how racist our country is. She paints herself as chronically oppressed, endlessly scrutinized, and forever burdened by a country that never treated her fairly. I know it must not be easy having fame, fortune, a bunch of multimillion-dollar homes, and all that. It must be really, really brutal. The routine has become predictable, and her latest appearances only reinforce the sense that

Ford has been unable to fill some 5,000 openings for mechanics despite offering a salary of $120,000 a year — prompting the company’s chief executive to warn of a dire shortage of skilled tradespeople in the US. “We are in trouble in our country. We are not talking about this enough,” Ford CEO Jim Farley said on an episode of the “Office Hours: Business Edition” podcast published earlier this week. “We have over a million openings in critical jobs, emergency services, trucking, factory workers, plumbers, electricians and tradesmen.” [snip] “We do not have trade schools,” he fumed. Earlier this year, Ford rolled out a $4 million initiative to fund scholarship for auto technicians.

While some people are looking to New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani to kiss their boo-boo and make it better, I think it is safe to say that most folks can recognize an underqualified empty suit when they see one. Mamdani's candidacy was successful due to a particular set of circumstances, coupled with outrageous promises to address issues ranging from unaffordable housing to food prices, as well as providing free bus and subway travel by executive fiat. At first blush, this looks like Lefitst Politics 101: promise the lumpenproletariat free stuff. However, a closer look reveals that we may be dealing with a man who is simply unmoored from reality.

Your dad drools in his soup. And your laptop is what opened Pandora’s box into your family’s alleged government access shenanigans. It was the roadmap. Then, daddy started to fall apart—and his own party booted him off the ticket because he was going to get slaughtered by Donald Trump in 2024.

The president claimed that Greene "has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore" in a long post where he ultimately vowed "Complete and Unyielding Support" to any conservative primary challenger leading into the 2026 midterm elections. Trump claimed Greene had "gone Far Left," citing her recent appearance on The View, and gave her the new nickname "Wacky Marjorie."

The creeping transformation of Western cities under demographic and cultural pressures has long been a cautionary tale in Europe, particularly in the UK, where London—once a beacon of Enlightenment values (and more importantly biblical truths) — has earned the moniker “Londonistan” for its visible embrace of parallel Islamic societies. With 15% of its population now Muslim, the city features halal-dominated high streets and Friday prayer congregations that overwhelm urban traffic. Across the Atlantic, Texas stands at a similar crossroads, its Muslim population surging amid rapid urbanization in hubs like Dallas and Houston. While Europe’s trajectory offers stark parallels—accelerated by lax policies and demographic shifts—Texas still holds unique tools,
