Given that the South Carolina Primary is the 1st Primary Race Joe Biden has won in all of his attempts at the Presidency what does that say about his chances of success against Donald Trump?
One side effect of the Corona Virus is that when nobody shows up for Chargers home games this season the front office will have a ready made excuse.
I don’t understand how anyone with any knowledge of the history of Communism can be surprised at this NY Post story concerning China’s decision to cover-up the existence of the Corona virus when first alerted at the start of the year?
I know a lot of us get peeved at the seemingly insane media bias of folks on CNN & MSNBC but if the difference between a regular six or seven figure paycheck was your willingness to spit out that kind of junk wouldn’t you think twice about risking it in a thin journalism market?
Funny how the list of big liberals getting destroyed by #metoo keeps growing.
This weekend Politico had a piece about some early Jockying among potential successors to the President for the GOP nomination in 2024.
It goes without saying that Vice President Pence will have the edge as the Vice President. Other logical candidates include Senator Ted Cruz (Assuming that President Trump doesn’t put him on the SCOTUS in his 2nd term) former Ambassador Nikki Haley, Senator Rick Scott, Senator Lindsey Graham. Perhaps we might even see a never Trump Favorite like Romney or maybe a technocrat like Charlie Baker try to jump in (if nothing else that would be amusing).
But no matter who is the eventual nominee no matter how wonky, how respectful, how proper, or anything else, I can guarantee you that the Media/Democrat/Left will define that person as WORSE THAN TRUMP!
It won’t matter if they never tweet, it won’t matter if they’ve been married once, loyal to their wife/husband. Regular church goers or with a history of good works and government experience behind them. The Democrats are going to define that person as the 2nd coming of Trump and thus the worst person in the world.
It’s going to be a lot of fun to try to turn the VP into Trump but I suspect it will be a lot more fun trying to see that played on someone else.
I know this is many years from now and there’s a lot to pay attention to but as it’s coming I thought I’d be the first to say it.
February was a nasty month in Chicago. Not the weather, as it was pretty good. Just a day or two of sub-zero weather and no major snowstorms.
No, I’m talking about crime. Just as there are contested primaries in Cook County for state’s attorney, which consists of Chicago and its inner suburbs, on both the Democratic and Republican sides. There are three challengers to Kim Foxx in the Democratic side, two GOPers are battling for their party not.
Bill Conway seems to be the leading Dem challenge to the incumbent prosecutor.
Foxx, best known for her still not-fully explained decision to drop charges against alleged hate crime hoax charges against Jussie Smollett. A grand jury empowered by a special prosecutor issued new charges against the former Empire star last month,
Murders of have been decreasing in Chicago since 2016 when there were 762. But last month there were 34 murders–ten more than in February, 2019, a 41 percent increase.
In 2019 there were 123 shootings in February. This February there were 166.
Carjackings are up too. As with murders in Chicago, the clearance rate is abysmally low, year to year, according to Hey Jackass, hovers around ten percent. But that clearance rate is declining.
There are no figures on gangs of shoplifters in Chicago, but anecdotal evidence seems to indicate there are more of these roving mobs. Twice last month the ritzy North Michigan Avenue was hit. Both times no one was arrested.
Foxx, a leftist, refuses to charge shoplifters with a felony who are caught steeling less than $1,000 in merchandise. The Illinois threshold is $300. Crime seems to pay in Chicago and suburban Cook County as long as you don’t get caught and especially if you don’t get too greedy.
Northeastern Illinois seems to be part of the wave that I called here the Age of the Criminal.
Election Day is March 17 here. Of course I’ll be taking a Republican ballot.
UPDATE March 19: Cook County voters proved to me just how dumb they are. Foxx easily was won renomination two days ago. The Republican nominee is Pat O’Brien, who has my support.
