Use of Chicago as an example of crime running rampant in this country, and therefore a need for more gun control, simply ignores the facts on the ground in Chicago.
No one doubts that Chicago has a significant problem with violence. As of Monday, the city logged its 200th homicide this year, a shooting that followed a dozen other shooting murders over the Independence Day holiday weekend, and dozens of more wounded in other incidents in the same time frame. It’s worth noting, though, that this is the latest the city hit its 200th homicide in the last four years, according to Red Eye Chicago, and that the homicide rate is down 4% over last year, which was the lowest year for Chicago homicides in nearly 50 years.
Still, it’s looking pretty violent on the streets of the Windy City, despite having some of the toughest gun-control laws in the nation. It’s so violent out there that Roland Martin calls for the National Guard to impose something very akin to martial law on the streets of Chicago to save what he calls … “Chiraq”:
snip
Maybe Martin should listen more carefully to “some critics,” who seem to have a better grasp on both the law and reality. And while it’s considered trite to mention this, maybe Chicago should rethink their enthusiasm for gun-control laws that clearly don’t keep firearms out of the hands of criminals, but ensures that most of the potential victims are defenseless. That way, Chicago might not need the National Guard or the Super Friends Justice League to impose martial law, and some criminals might have second thoughts about operating in the Windy City. At the very least, it would be a novel — and constitutional — approach to the chronic problem. -

Murder rate drops as concealed carry permits rise, study claims
The study by the Crime Prevention Research Center found that 11.1 million Americans now have permits to carry concealed weapons, up from 4.5 million in 2007. The 146 percent increase has come even as both murder and violent crime rates have dropped by 22 percent.
“When you allow people to carry concealed handguns, you see changes in the behavior of criminals,” said the center’s president, John R. Lott, a Fox News contributor. “Some criminals stop committing crimes, others move on to crimes in which they don’t come into contact with victims and others actually move to areas where they have less fear of being confronted by armed victims.” -

Good morning Hamsteronianites.
In this mornings dead tree version of the comical, p6, there is an article about a canal to connect the Caribbean with the Pacific through Nicaragua. Price tag: $50 BILLION and there is a huge Chinese connection. Dya think it will get built? -
Relocating a company with 100 employees, has been in the same building for 50 years, and in the middle of July, is not fun.
Side note: Filipinos seem to have cornered all the commercial moving jobs here in Houston. It’s like the Patel No-tell Motel phenomenon. -
Oh, and happy birthday, Shannon!

This is what happens when you sit for the encroachment of your fundamental rights and the guarantees in the Constitution — they continue, right up until you have your wages confiscated on a mere allegation without any due process or hearing.
Don’t say you weren’t warned — you were, and you sat on your a$$.
The Environmental Protection Agency has quietly claimed that it has the authority to unilaterally garnish the wages of individuals who have been accused of violating its rules.

Happy birthday Shannon
got ya a cake. Hope I got the number of candles right. -
Well, further perusing of.the local fishwrap reveals an editorial by Daniel “the lemming” Cohan who mindlessly parrots the CO2 causes global warming nonsense. It is really disappointing to see this madness flourish.

Note to John McCain and Bilge O’Really (SIC)
Oh? Ya think?
O’Really on one hand says he does not begrudge Obama’s “leisure time” it is petty yo criticize him about the time he takes off and then about a minute later launches into how he is sick of Obama not doing anything to fix stuff. -
#22 Katfish: I am interested to see how the establishment is going to respond to this latest gross violation of our fundamental rights. I can’t believe that any court would allow this treachery to stand.

“We tried the surgery twice but we failed because we could not access,” head surgeon Jaume Mora said at a press conference Wednesday. “Instead of surrendering, we tried to find a solution.”
Mora and his team at the Hospital Sant Joan de Deu in Barcelona turned to the CIM Foundation at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia to create a 3D-printed replica of the boy’s tumor so they could perfect their technique ahead of the surgery.3D printing saves a 5 year old boy’s life.

Joel Kotkin of newgeography.com on how energy will affect the upcoming national elections.
More significant, over time, may be how energy plays out in the country’s major political battleground, the rust-belt states. Most of these states are highly dependent on coal for electricity, and some, such as Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, are seeking to develop new oil and gas finds. Policies that limit fossil-fuel development, may prove a tough sell in some districts and could cost the Democrats several additional Senate seats.
In contrast, the most fervent support for strict climate-change legislation comes mostly from states – notably, the Northeast – that produce little in the way of energy and use relatively little carbon to power their economies. These states need less power than other areas as they already have deindustrialized and have very little population growth. -

Good noontime Hamsters. Been busy finishing the laundry from the trip and sorting the mail that piled up. Also reading through Hambone to catch up here.
Well, on the subject of cooler than usual Midwest, ahem, we had a preview last week in Wisconsin. Cool front arrived just before we did and had lows in the 50s in Door County a couple of days and highs in the upper 60s to low 70s, only a bit warmer in Madison. We watched fireworks on the 4th lakeside in Bailey’s Harbor, Door County, wearing long sleeves and jeans, with denim shirts added, and we were darned chilly. Local folks came out with jackets, and one family’s two darling little boys wore ski caps and middle weight jackets. Wish we had piled on more clothes. The car thermometer listed lower 60s when we got back in, but we really didn’t believe that. Next day it was overcast and didn’t make it out of the 60s.
On July 6 it was chilly, overcast, and dampish low 60s during the day and cooling off after dark. We had a fireplace fire that night, and it was very much appreciated.
If’n the outbreak next week beats that, it will be most notable. Very much unlike July up there this year. Now if it will just slide down here…. -
Happy Birthday Shannon. And many more to come. 🙂

Methinks we need private special ops to free our jailed Marine.

I tend to agree with the main point of this article.
In the past, when Hamas got a little full of itself and started feeling a little frisky, it could depend on world opinion swinging sharply in its favor, even though it was the clear instigator of whatever mayhem it was planning. This time, it looks like they might have overplayed their hand, especially when they kidnapped the three Israeli youths and killed them.
The savages currently roaming around in The Iraq are not helping the cause, either. People are making the connection between two terrorist groups, whether there is an actual connection or not, and are at the very least turning their back on them, if not becoming actively hostile.
Maybe there is hope after all. -

As I always say, I would rather have a free bottle in front of me than a pre-frontal lobotomy. -

From the Tuscany Press contest – this is part of a submission.
“A little girl with worn sneakers that light up when her feet secure ground and a pale blue dress that twirls when she spins crouches in a pew three rows back from the coffin. It looks like a child’s toy chest, simple, painted white with tiny gold handles.
Okay, that first sentence just seems (1) awkward, and (2) not a good opening sentence. My rewrite:
The child’s coffin looked remarkably like a small child’s toy chest, and remarkably alone at the front of the church, despite the small crowd that had gathered. It was a simple box, painted white and had gold handles along the sides. A little girl crouches only three pews away, her wondering eyes taking in the activity. She wears a pale blue dress and worn shoes with light-up heels that she likes to watch blink as she twirls around.There is no twirling today, though…
Is it me? Am I too rough on these submissions? I sometimes get the feeling that I’m too critical, since these are not my style of writing. Perhaps I’m a little myopic.

I heard this from a friend who lived on a farm and had several domestic turkeys that they always had to keep the turkeys under cover and out of the rain. If they felt anything pelting them from above, they would look up in wonderment and were in danger of drowning, just from having their beaks open.

I’m sure you all have heard of the Spring shooting yesterday. I’m reading up on the details and more than a few times I had to compose myself. What brings this home to me and my family is that the victims were of a family which, although Niki and I did not know them, members of Niki’s family and several mutual friends of ours did. The family was LDS and attended a ward in the former building Niki and I attended. Furthermore, the oldest daughter, the lone survivor of the shooting, befriended Janisen at Girl’s Camp and in Janisen’s own words, “was one of the few people who would talk to me”. (Janisen has difficulty initiating conversations with people she does not know). Here’s a link of a fund set up for the family. Whatever help you think you can provide would be appreciated. Please be prayerful in your decision. Thank you all and God bless.

Looks like the Z Street suit is bearing some fruit—although this article does not mention it
“Judge Sullivan also authorized Judicial Watch to submit a request for limited discovery into the missing IRS records after Sept. 10,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton in a statement distributed after the hearing.
That’s the biggee.

Did some checking—that’s not a ruling on the Z Street suit. Its on an FOIA request from Judicial Watch.

#55 Snoodmistress: That would be wonderful should they try it. The mooslime slaughter would be epic and we just get popcorn and watch. There could be enough soldiers on the battleground to cause blood to run in the streets up to a horses bridle. They are all going to gather for the slaughter.

Philip Gordon, the White House’s Coordinator for the Middle East, is an abject idiot.
Unfortunately, Gordon can’t give us all the specifics — “the details of this work remain classified.” But he is at liberty “to make clear that General Allen and his IDF counterparts are taking into account a range of contingencies, including the rising threats we see around the Middle East today…” And “the bottom line is that, based on this Security Dialogue, we are confident that, together with Israel, Jordan and the Palestinians, we can create a comprehensive approach to security, proven through operational testing, to meet the highest standards anywhere in the world.”
Why does Gordon’s championing of these security arrangements — presented as a veritable panacea that we foolish Israelis have pigheadedly spurned — sound so particularly risible? Because he was speaking soon after the very conference he was addressing in the David Intercontinental Hotel had been forced to shut down temporarily, its participants evacuated to a safer floor of the hotel.
And why was that? Because Tel Aviv was being targeted by rocket fire, and the sirens were wailing to warn of incoming warheads.Bonehead.

Watching Hannity’s show on the Rio Grande with Perry, et al. A border officer just came on and said that the Obama administration is complicit with the human traffickers, completing the smuggling cycle.
Okay, that’s one more for the unemployment line….
Earlier, while on the treadmill at the gym, I watched Ben Shapiro call this administration not only not supportive of Israel, but “a borderline Jew-hating administration”. Megyn Kelley was surprised by that and pushed back some, but Shapiro stood his ground.
I wonder if the MSM will pick up on these lines or bury them.
Thank God for men with all their manly parts. And in the right places. -
#73 WB
Gordon is just one more symptom of the morbid disease. Why should they hire anyone who is coherent when they have no coherent message ?
It’s rapidly becoming apparent and the Admin will become more desperate as qualified hires begin to flee the applicant rolls. They will have to continue to drop the threshhold for competency and that becomes its own self fulfilling prophecy of spiraling death. -
#75 cont’d.
This is the tipping point wherein self-preservation and career advancement begin to trump any silly partisan loyalties. The DC crowd will begin to run, not walk, from the Obama job corps. The mistakes, the stumbles and gaffes will get worse as they find it impossible to hire anyone who cares about their future in DC. -
Gordon was exhibiting Baghdad Bob-level cluelessness.
-
Has tRicked us Perry taken action and called on the Texas National Guard to secure the border or is he still listening to his Tony Robbin’s cds on how to take action?
They all parrot how this is a great humanitarian crisis. They just leave out the fact that it’s a crisis OCloven Hoof wanted and created.
Also it’s a only a one way street humanitarian crisis because all the sack of sheet politicians care about is the illegal aliens. –well they don’t really care, they just pretend to.
It’s not considered a humanitarian crisis or burden on the good, honest, and hard working American citizens because we know for a fact they don’t give two $hits about us. Never have and never will.
I haven’t heard yet if Jeb Bush has offered his brother’s 1600 acre Crawford Ranch to house a few thousand illegals.
I’m still waiting though.
Come on Jeb. Show em some love. -
