[The Mail] At least 58 people were shot in Chicago over Thanksgiving weekend, leaving eight dead as the city faces the highest number of homicides in more than a decade.
The latest victim is an 18-year-old who was shot dead in his vehicle at 2pm on Sunday, NBC reported. Two gunmen outside a house party on Saturday night left one dead and five others injured, while another shooting killed a 16-year-old boy on Friday evening.
In October, Chicago surpassed 600 homicides this year, in numbers that have not been seen since 2003. There were 468 murders in 2015, and 416 the year before.
On Sunday afternoon, an 18-year-old was in a parked vehicle when a suspect in an SUV opened fire in a drive-by shooting, according to NBC.

Forget the weekend. Three dead, at least 11 wounded, since yesterday (Monday) morning.
Baghdad is almost safer.

It's because of that McDonald Supreme Court case that destroyed Chicago's common sense gun control laws. And because Chicago needs tougher gun control laws. /s

And Rahm Emanuel will go to great lengths to protect illegal aliens in his jurisdiction, but he lets plantation people (extreme sarc) go merrily along killing and maiming each other.
Well, not hard to figure out. Dems gave up on the blacks after fifty years of milking votes and not delivering anything but welfare, so it's on to new rubes in the *ahem* undocumented immigrant and hispanic cohort.
The evidence is pretty damning of the dems. I find it disgusting. Little ole disreputable cohort me.

[Free Beacon] A Chinese cyber security firm is covertly working with Beijing’s Ministry of State Security intelligence service in conducting cyber espionage operations, according to Pentagon intelligence officials.
The company known as Boyusec, officially the Bo Yu Guangzhou Information Technology Co., is also working with China’s global telecommunications company Huawei Technologies, which has been identified by U.S. intelligence agencies as linked to the Chinese military.
According to an internal report by the Pentagon’s Joint Staff J-2 intelligence directorate, Boyusec and Huawei are working together to produce security products that will be loaded into Chinese-manufactured computer and telephone equipment. The doctored products will allow Chinese intelligence to capture data and control computer and telecommunications equipment, said Pentagon officials familiar with the report.
"It’s closely connected to the [Ministry of State Security] and Huawei and they are developing a start-up program that will use malware allowing for capturing and controlling devices," said one official of Boyusec.

Such a lovely Plano, TX. globally connected firm.
PLA connection? Cyber Backdoors? Microscopic beacons? Surely not. After all, they are members in good standing of the United Nations Global Compact and everything.
[Breitbart] Per a Fox 61 report, Hartford, CT police are investigating after dozens of teens stormed into a Shell gas station Saturday night and looted.
Police say 30-40 teens entered the gas station after a party in the area.
The wild teens destroyed property and looted items, mostly candy and snacks, and reportedly did $4,000 worth of damage to the store.
The store owner had to close down for the rest of the night to clean up the mess.
Later, a man and a juvenile walked into the store, stole items and caused more damage. The store owner identified the two to police when they arrived.

These places should have a panic button that seals away the store staff, locks the exterior doors so that law enforcement can come remove the vermin at their leisure.

Anyone supporting Castro should be publically humiliated. The naive that know only t-shirts should be ridiculed into researching the evil the foolishly defend. This country can be saved, but not without difficult conversations.
I hope the 49ers have been deluged with email regarding their resident TOOL they have at QB.

Castro could have taught them how to have non elected government. Send their sons to fight in "Wars of Liberation" and spy on their neighbors for counter-revolutionary activity. I'm willing to grant that education and health care for the average Cuban might be better now but if they can't read you have a harder time indoctronating them

Any serious reading of Che Guevera's dossier would make most rational people want to burn any t=shirt shop with a Che shirt.
A complete drooling psychopath that systematically murdered thousands, AFTER Fidel had pardoned them. Why do you think Che was sent to Columbia and Angola? Fidel didn't want such a dangerous uncontrollable crazy as Che around...
I ask anyone I see with one of those t-shirts if they know anything about the man or have read about what he really did in Cuba after the revolution.
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A maiden was rubbed out by in Kabul ...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... city earlier today with preliminary reports suggesting the girl was rubbed out by one of her relatives. Security officials in Kabul police confirmed that the girl was rubbed out near a high school located in Bagh-e-Raees in the 7th police district of the city.
The officials further added that the murder apparently has links with the domestic violence.
According to the officials, the culprit was caught the security forces soon after he shot the girl dead and was attempting to escape.
The latest incident involving the murder of the young girl in Kabul comes as the rate of violence against women has been on the rise across the country.
At least three women were rubbed out by unknown gunnies who were riding a cycle of violence in western Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... province of Afghanistan around ten days ago.

[AlAhram] Turkish authorities are investigating foster families for suspected ties to a failed coup and may remove children from homes if their guardians are found to be supporters of the putsch, a government official said on Monday.
The government has so far detained or dismissed 125,000 people over alleged links to the network of Fethullah Gulen ... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world... , a U.S.-based Moslemholy man accused by Ankara of orchestrating the July 15 coup. Gulen, who lives in self-imposed exile in the state of Pennsylvania, has denied involvement in the putsch and condemned it.
The government says its investigations are necessary to stamp out the influence of Gulen's network, which it refers to as the "Gulenist Terror Organisation", or "FETO".
"It would not be right for a child to remain with a (foster) family if links to FETO are confirmed as a result of the examinations," the official from the Ministry of Family and Social Policy told Rooters.
The official, who declined to be identified, said the investigations had been going on since August 23.
"This is a slow process in which detailed examinations are being carried out. So it is out of the question for children to be suddenly ripped away from their families," the official said, adding that the psychological health of the children was being closely monitored.
Around 5,000 foster families and some related institutions are being investigated, the pro-government Yeni Safak newspaper reported. The government has also cut off cooperation with four childcare-related NGOs as part of its investigation, the newspaper said.

I'm sure that right about now Bezos is probably wondering if going against Trump was the right thing to do.
A Republican antitrust veteran has been named on Monday to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's transition team for the Justice Department, a choice that lawyers say signals a more hands-off approach to antitrust enforcement compared to Democratic President Barack Obama.
David Higbee, a partner at the law firm Hunton & Williams LLP, worked for President George W. Bush's administration from 2001 to 2005, spending the last year in the Antitrust Division. Since then he has advised clients on merger reviews, antitrust litigation and government investigations.
Higbee joins Joshua Wright, an economist and former commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission, as the only two people on Trump's transition team with a background in antitrust.
The Obama administration has challenged an unusually large number of mergers in the last few years, leading to the collapse of Halliburton Co's plan to buy Baker Hughes Inc, among others. Currently, the Justice Department is suing Anthem Inc to prevent it from buying Cigna Corp and Aetna Inc to stop its purchase of Humana Inc.
While Trump, who campaigned as a populist, has talked tough on media mergers such as AT&T Inc buying Time Warner Inc, and singled out Amazon.com Inc for antitrust scrutiny, Higbee's naming heralds a return to a traditional Republican view of merger enforcement, lawyers said.
"Higbee will have that sensible caution," said Bruce McDonald, another veteran of the Bush administration now at the law firm Jones Day. "He will be more confident in business and markets and less confident that government can identify and fix problems."
An antitrust division designed by Higbee would be tough on price-fixing and mergers of competitors but would be cautious in challenging deals where companies buy suppliers or incidents where companies are accused of breaking antitrust law to run competitors out of business, McDonald said.
