Chicago's earned the most homicides of any city in America for 11 years in a row.  737 last year, in fact.  So what do our Chicago Democrats do with their time?  Do they work to solve gang violence, crappy schools, or single parent households that lead to crime and poverty? …

I was born and raised in Springfield, IL. I hunted, fished & trapped all over Illinois. I held an FOID card for many years and served in the US Army for over 20 years. I retired from the Army out of Iraq in 2004. Whether I was living in Colorado…

by Todd Vandermyde(originally published in 2016) Dear Hillary Hipsters, Miley Millennials and Participation Trophy Pansies, you got me thinking with your talk of playing games with the electoral college and this talk of “armed” rebellion. You expect us to take your talk of rebellion and revolution seriously? Yet you can’t…

A couple of days ago, I emailed the Illinois State Police a media query about an incident that occurred this past Sunday on I-55.  A young woman with a CCW license was stopped between Bloomington and Chicago for a traffic infraction.  Before the stop concluded, the Trooper asked to see…

Life is hard.  Life is harder when you're stupid.  Genesis Escobar had her whole life ahead of her before she climbed into someone's car in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood of Chicago Monday afternoon.  She demanded money from them and they shot her dead.  Then they dumped her body out and…

Elections have consequences.  And Kwame Raoul looks down on the rights of the little people to own guns to defend their homes.  Of course, Kwame's got armed bodyguards and has his guns at home to protect his children (including his son named 'Che').  But you want guns to protect your…

Illinois added retired deputies and corrections officers (both county and state) to the list of retired law enforcement officers entitled to the Illinois Retired Officer Carry program.  IROC allows retired cops to carry pretty much everywhere, which is better than a normal concealed carry license.  The downside:  they have to…
