[CHICAGO.SUNTIMES] Three people were killed and 14 others were maimed by gun violence in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... over five hours Thursday night into Friday morning, with shootings now up 36% over last year.
The violent mostly peaceful night comes as the Chicago Police Department prepares for the traditional summer surge in violence. Last weekend had the most shooting victims so far this year.
While shootings are up 36% from the same period last year, homicides are up 19%, according to data kept by the Chicago Sun-Times. At least 1,244 people have been shot this year and there have been at least 244 homicides.
Overnight, a 56-year-old man was killed in a double shooting in Grand Crossing on the South Side. He and another man, 54, were shot as they stood outside in the 7300 block of South Blackstone about 3:20 a.m. The 56-year-old died at a hospital, while the other man was in fair condition.
At 2:15 a.m., a man was rubbed out as he stood outside with friends in Englewood. The man, 27, was shot in his back and chest in the 6000 block of South Racine Avenue. Another man, 33, was maimed by the gunfire as he was changing a tire, police said.
Around 6:30 a.m., police found a man who was rubbed out in Austin on the West Side. The man was found in a vacant lot in the 4700 block of West Jackson Boulevard with a gunshot wound to his head, police said. He appeared to have been shot "a while ago," police said.

[ARABNEWS] Since the inauguration of President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter... in January, a dramatic humanitarian crisis has arisen on the US southern border, where thousands of people are trying to enter the country illegally, driven by several statements made by Biden when he was the Democratic presidential candidate.
Waves of men, women and kiddies have been arriving at entry points in several states. In March, about172,000 people, including more than 18,000 unaccompanied children, attempted entry to the US — a 71 percent increase on the previous month, according to US Customs and Border Protection. As of early May, 22,500 unaccompanied minors were being held by the authorities.
Security experts are estimating that, by the end of this fiscal year on Sept. 30, up to 800,000 people will have crossed the border in the space of 12 months.
The main winners from this chaotic situation are the smugglers, human traffickers and cartels that have turned US border cities into small oases for their illegal activities. Nonofficial estimates indicate that the cartels are making about $14 million a day by smuggling humans. What is more concerning is that nobody will be able to uncover the number of unaccompanied minors who have been sexually assaulted, groomed or victimized by these cartels.
As the political pressure on the Biden administration grew, with the White House being urged to address the surge in unaccompanied, undocumented migrant minors, Biden announced on March 24 that he had appointed Vice President Kámala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California, former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and now Joe Biden's wing nut. She's displaying her level of competence in her hanling of the Biden Border Surge to lead efforts to stem migration across the US-Mexico border.
At a White House immigration meeting, Biden explained his VP’s new task of launching a diplomatic discussion with the governments of Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras in a bid to restrain the flow of migrants colonists and to adopt long-term strategies that would address the root causes of the problem. At this meeting, Harris expressed her desire to work with the private sector, civil society and members of Congress who share the administration’s vision.
But working on such long-term goals will obviously not solve the current border crisis or provide protection for the children who have been sent alone to face an uncertain fate.

[MAIL] President Donald Trump decided against firing the FBI director he appointed, Christopher Wray, after Attorney General Bill Barr threatened to quit.
Politico was out with new details about the incident Thursday, reporting that in April 2020 Trump came the closest to ousting Wray, who he felt was weak.
Wray frustrated Trump whenever he defended the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which the ex-president felt enabled 'spying' on his 2016 campaign.
Trump would also get angry with Wray whenever he gave testimony about Russia and when he talked about election security.

I suspect the Orange Man figured if Barr resigned, Durham would follow him out the door. Truth be known (and it so seldom is), knowing wat he knows today, Trump would have fired Barr the instant he threatened to walk.

The WHOLE of government types are part of a massive shadowy, corrupt enterprise. Trump at first managed to get past these people and into the Oval Office for a short time but they made sure the outsider was out ASAP.

It has been proven now that the man had no chance anyway. Everybody has snafus, but he was targeted from the beginning by the ones ruling now and their loyalists. To the elite, democracy itself had failed when it delivered a pragmatic everyman President into office. And they all conspired together to correct it.
[BREITBART] A Georgia judge is allowing officials to audit roughly 145,000 absentee ballots cast in Fulton County in the 2020 election, attempting to ensure the integrity and security of the state’s elections.
The audit will allow for the examination of signatures on the ballots to ensure that they are legitimate, according to a Georgia Star News report.
"Voter confidence in our election system is the bedrock of our republic. Unfortunately, inconsistencies in Fulton County’s November 2020 absentee ballots cast serious doubt on voters’ faith in our elections," former Sen. Kelly Loeffler said in a statement.
Georgia residents have been particularly concerned about Fulton County.
Files provided by county officials show there are no chain of custody documents — absentee ballot transfer forms — for 385 out of the 1,591 dropbox collections that took place in Fulton County between September 24, 2020, and November 3, 2020, the Georgia Star News reports.
Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, Butch shot Black Bart's gun out of his hand...... Arizona’s Maricopa County is undergoing a complete forensic audit of the November 2020 election after the state’s Senate Republicans expressed their desire to ensure the legitimacy of the votes.
The audit in Arizona, however, has been met with relentless resistance. In early May, officials held back materials subpoenaed by the state legislature, claiming that submitting them would create a security risk for both law enforcement and federal agencies.
The Arizona state Senate claimed Maricopa County election officials then tampered with election records just days before the equipment was delivered to the Arizona Senate, the Georgia Star News reports.
Last week, the president of the Arizona State Senate asked the chairman of the Maricopa Board of Supervisors to address "three serious issues that have arisen in the course of the Senate’s ongoing audit of the returns of the November 3, 2020 general election in Maricopa County."
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors later refused the invitation to meet with the Arizona State Senate to discuss how to resolve the issues.

SURPRISE!!
Not one word in the USA TODAY owned Augusta Chronicle.

"We're here to examine the 145,000 absentee ballots at the judge's orders."
"Um, they were all destroyed in a catastrophic water leak on election night."

Very slowly the corruption that elected a president is coming to light. The courts are not run by the media, the political class is. Once it comes out in the courts, the sheep will be horrified and call for judges to be fired... The drama will never end.

Drip Drip Drip. The truth will eventually come out and there will be no denying the theft that occurred.
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Senator Tim Kaine, who claims to be a Catholic, has compared the church’s teachings on child sacrifice abortion to Sharia Law.
In an op-ed for the far-left National Catholic Reporter, Kaine was arguing against bishops who want to withhold communion from Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass.... over his radical child sacrifice abortion policies.
"Catholics in public life not only live according to church doctrine but additionally shape the law, even to include the threat of criminal prosecution and punishment, to enshrine church doctrine on sexuality as mandatory for all Americans is contrary to our basic liberty," he wrote. "Why would government require that Catholic sexuality doctrine, or Sharia law, or Orthodox Jewish rules about Sabbath observance, be followed by all?"
He went on to claim that protecting the unborn would not be a primary concern for Jesus.
"No reading of the life of Jesus would suggest these issues as his primary, or even secondary, concern," he states. "His towering message is about love of neighbor as oneself with a special focus on the poor, sick, hungry, marginalized."

You know, the pro-baby murder crowd doesn't like it when you point out their stance is more evil than Dahmer's crimes. They murder infants, by this point, Hell has a section just for them.
#2
well for one thing Abortion has nothing to do with 'Sexuality' - unless your some kind of sick pervert. But then we are talking about a Democrat so...
And of course there's that 'Thou shall not Murder' thingie...
And I wonder how he figures murdering an innocent, defenseless, unborn baby is somehow 'love of neighbor as oneself'. Perhaps he should prove it by Self-Aborting.

"His towering message is about love of neighbor as oneself with a special focus on the poor, sick, hungry, marginalized"
How do you get more marginalized and dimpowered than an baby prior to birth, utterly dependent upon the mother and her good will?
Answer that you fake ass non-Catholic asshole. Apostates like you claiming the mantle of the Catholic Church while denying its core treachings and faith are an abomination.

the fact that prominent Catholic dems (Biden, Pelosi, etc) have not already been excommunicated tells you a lot about what is important to the Church. namely: money, power.
#5
"What you do unto the least of these, you do unto me."
Hard to find a more "least" group than the unborn.
And, yes, if the Catholic Church was serious it wouldn't hesitate to excommunicate politicians who PROMOTE abortion, who try to FORCE NUNS TO PAY FOR IT. Instead it excommunicates middle-class mothers of five whose (non-Catholic) husband gets a vasectomy...

He is way off base with this line of thought,and hardly has the expertise to comment on either religions; christianity or mohammaden faith.
He is an insult to the State of Virginia, and the Senate in which he serves.
Do not re-elect this donkey, 20+ years in politics is enough, he has become an absurdist, with more of these types, the country will circle the drain.

Tim Kaine is such an obnoxious little prick that he makes Joe Biden look like a gentleman...and Joe Biden is no gentleman.

the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
