On Saturday night into Sunday morning, hundreds of young black males rampaged in downtown Chicago.  Yes, downtown Chicago - the very heart of tourism and retail "destinations."  Increasingly it's not a whole lot safer than the rest of the crime-ridden city.  The feral mobs accosted tourists and residents alike.  They…

The Illinois Supreme Court has a ethics and credibility problem.  Then again, this is the state where the feds have brought the most public corruption arrests, so ethics clearly isn't a course taught to public officials in Springfield.  On Friday, one of the two justices at the center of a…

In a recent tweet, the Socialist Rifle Association of Minnesota published a post that most freedom-loving Americans should find troublesome at best and outright seditious at worst. “F*** the 2A,” it began. “We are not in favor of ‘guns for everyone’, we are in favor of arming those groups who…

There's an old expression:  you can't fix stupid.  But alas, it can be fixed in a host of ways, including the judicious application of ballistic therapy when circumstances justify it.  Like in Phoenix where an intruder forced his way into a home at dinner hour last Sunday. Maybe if he…
