[Washington Examiner via PJ] How glad is Chicago’s criminal element to see new Mayor Brandon Johnson? The gangs, the thugs, and other criminals have been busy since Mayor Brandon Johnson took office on May 15. Crime has shot up an astonishing 38% — a sign that whatever Johnson is going to do about crime and public safety, he’d better get busy.
Vehicle thefts spiked by 153%, aggravated battery is up 17%, burglary jumped by 12%, and even shootings rose 5%. A few weeks ago, carjackings got so bad the Chicago Police Department had to issue a "community alert urging residents to be more vigilant about their surroundings and to always be on the lookout for suspicious activity when entering or leaving vehicles."
The lone exception to this pattern is murders, which went down by 5%. In raw numbers, it means there were only three fewer people killed.
Thank the Lord for small favors. Note that shootings still rose 5% while murders are down, indicating that Chicago’s gangs still need some target practice before the summer gets into full swing.
It should be obvious that my tongue is planted firmly in my cheek in pretending to blame Johnson for the increase in crime. Chicago’s crime has risen 56% over the last four years, according to the Examiner’s Jack Elbaum, and Johnson hasn’t been in office long enough to do anything. But that number alone should be a call to rally the police, the citizens, and activists to unite in an effort to retake control of their city from a criminal element that doesn’t care if they live or die in their turf wars and endless vendettas.

I would sentence him to drink expired Bud Lite until he dies of organ failure or alcohol poisoning. It would give us some value out of the cost of his incarceration. I don’t think the alcohol would likely kill him. My guess would be diarrhea would get him in end, in a manner of speaking, but I am not a Bud Lite drinker so that’s pure speculation.

Nice to see what spineless corporate appeasement of a 1% lifestyle can do to the bottom line of a business whose life's blood client base is antithetical to the appeased.
Perhaps some "leave of absence" management needs to happen in the Dodger organization?
The only thing I like reading about better than loser Brit royals is their financial demise.
[Page Six - NY Post] - Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were branded "lazy" and "f—king grifters" by Spotify employees Friday after the podcasting network canned their $20 million deal.
Bill Simmons, the sportscaster who is also head of Spotify’s international sports content, said on his own podcast, "’The f—king grifters.’ That’s the podcast we shoulda launched with them."
His attack deepened the couple’s crisis as sources said they were "lazy" compared to the Obamas, who also had a Spotify contract.
How freakin' lazy do you have to be to get out-hustled by two people notorious for being work averse? Read on for how bad they're (Harry & Megan) about to get fiscally bent with their overextended lifestyle. It practically brings back memories of my asshole cousin doing something similar; I can't wait to hear about him trying to grind off another catatlytic converter and getting busted for it so he can support his heroin habit. Faacking loooser...

Seems like money for "woke" initiatives is not the only area where a shortfall is occurring.

Harry has never been without financial resources, nor were his folks, so he wasn't brought up being frugal in any way or with the ability to recognize that something might not be a good fiscal idea.
Therefore he never recognized that Meghan was just a leech on steroids.

Actually, I'm hoping someone will start a GoF**kOff campaign for them, but I'm like that.

I guess everyone and the professor's dog knew that, Mr. Bill Simmons, but you.
But you needed to pave the DIE driveway, so piss off with your crocoshit tears. ooooo! ooooo! don't sue me!

The value of the royal connections has virtually evaporated since Harry is now shunned, so suddenly there is little left for them to dish about. God knows they both have at best, very pedestrian, modest intellects and little outside of scandal to talk about beyond what has been sold repeatedly. So at some point, the dirtwater duchess will figure out that her only remaining story to dish is Harry. The kids are her insurance plan against poverty but Harry, a fungible asset. How long he stays before a hiatus on the foggy highland moors is in his future depends on his dignity low-level warning light still functioning.

[KavkazUzel] Mukhamet Khudaiberdin and Mikhail Giska, who were forced to work free of charge at a construction site in the Kayakent region, did not file a complaint with the police after their release, a representative of the Alternative movement said. Khudaiberdin explained that he was afraid of revenge from the owners of the business.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the "Alternative" anti-slavery movement has repeatedly reported on cases of liberation of people from labor slavery in the North Caucasus Federal District and the South Federal District. So, on June 13, it became known about the release of two men, Mukhamet Khudaiberdin and Mikhail Giska, who were forced to work for free at a construction site in the Kayakent region of Dagestan.
"Recruiters" are looking for potential employees at the railway stations of Moscow, Saratov and other large cities, most often the victims of slave traders are people from the provinces who come to large cities to earn money, the "Caucasian Knot" report "Slavery in the North Caucasus" says .
Mukhamet Khudaiberdin and Mikhail Giska have not yet applied to the police on the fact of labor slavery, Aleksey Nikitin, a representative of the "Alternative" movement, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent . "We really hope that they will do it soon," he said. In his opinion, such stories should be in the center of attention of the security forces so that they do not repeat themselves in the future.
Mukhamet Khudaiberdin said that he still fears for his safety. “Look, I’m far from them now, but I know what kind of connections they have, and that if they want, they will find me. Therefore, I’m afraid to write a statement against them. What will it give? I am alone, and there are many of them. testimonies, and everyone else will say that they worked and received money, that they were good, they did not violate the law. I am afraid that something will happen to me if I say a word against them," he told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
The man is not sure that the perpetrators can be punished. "I doubt it. They will be able to defend themselves in various ways and go unpunished. Now the main thing is that Mikhail and I are free, we are where we ourselves wanted, we do what we ourselves wanted. This is the most important thing. I am with my daughter, I eat good meat. They fed me bad food for two years, you can say I didn’t eat anything normal, I just worked all day long. Living conditions were normal, but the food is terrible. Mikhail and I weren’t paid at all, a couple of times 3, 5 thousand everything," he recalls.
According to Mukhamet, there were Uzbeks with him, but they were not in labor slavery. “There were a lot of them, but they all had documents, contracts, patents, they were paid and they were fed normally. Only Mikhail and I weren’t paid. Do you know how many cottages we built for them, how many worked in greenhouses? And nothing in return didn't get it," he said.
His daughter, Lilac, hopes that her father will nevertheless decide and write a statement. "Maybe this will lead to the fact that the perpetrators will be punished, and there will be no more such cases. I have been looking for my father for two years. The police were looking for him, but to no avail, they said that there was no chance. But I did not despair and turned to various organizations" - she told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
According to her, for some reason she was sure that her father was in labor slavery. “I felt it, I watched videos on social networks about labor slavery, went to different factories, looked for him. When he called me and said that he was in Dagestan, I immediately turned to the Alternative movement, and the very next day my father was at large. This is some kind of miracle," recalls Lilac.
The "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told at the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Dagestan that they had not received statements on the fact of labor slavery. "We have no such appeals from the citizen you mentioned," the department said.
Labor slavery is a problem that is typical for all of Russia , including in the south of the country, Oleg Melnikov, head of the Alternative movement, said in May 2019. "In Kalmykia, we met about 20 such cases, in Dagestan - a little more, in Chechnya - a little less, in Ingushetia there were 5-7 cases, in the Krasnodar Territory - about 40, in the Rostov Region - somewhere around 20-30," he said.
It is possible to help get out of labor slavery only to those who themselves declare that they are a forced laborer, Oleg Melnikov said in January 2020, after the release of three people in Dagestan. There are criminal articles for slave labor, but they practically do not work, then the lawyer Abusupyan Gaitaev confirmed.
[An Nahar] The United States deployed a nuclear-powered submarine capable of carrying about 150 Tomahawk missiles to South Korea on Friday, a day after North Korea ...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche... resumed missile tests in protest of the U.S.-South Korean live-fire drills.
The USS Michigan's arrival in South Korea, the first of its kind in six years, is part of a recent bilateral agreement on enhancing "regular visibility" of U.S. strategic assets to the Korean Peninsula in response to North Korea's advancing nuclear program, according to South Korean officials.
With the deployment of the USS Michigan, the U.S. and South Korean navies are to conduct drills on boosting their special operation capabilities and joint ability to cope with growing North Korean nuclear threats, the South Korean Defense Ministry said in a statement.
It said the U.S. submarine arrived at the southeastern port city of Busan but didn't say how long it would stay in South Korean waters.
The USS Michigan is one of the biggest submarines in the world. The Ohio-class guided-missile submarine can be armed with 150 Tomahawk missiles with a range of about 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) and is capable of launching special forces missions, according to the South Korean statement.
The South Korean and U.S. militaries have been expanding their exercises in reaction to North Korea's provocative run of missile tests since last year. North Korea has argued it was forced to ramp up testing activities to deal with its rivals' expanded military drills that it views as an invasion rehearsal, but experts say the North ultimately aims to modernize its arsenal and increase its leverage in eventual diplomacy.
In April, after their meeting in Washington, President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences... and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol agreed that the United States would enhance the "regular visibility of strategic assets to the Korean Peninsula." Biden also stated that any North Korean nuclear attack on the U.S. or its allies would "result in the end of whatever regime" took such action.
The two leaders also announced other steps to reinforce joint deterrence capabilities such as the docking a U.S. nuclear ballistic missile submarine in South Korea periodically; bolstering joint training exercises; and the establishment of a new nuclear consultative group. The nuclear ballistic missile submarine hasn't come to South Korea.
Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... , slammed the Biden-Yoon summit agreements, saying they revealed the two countries' "most hostile and aggressive will of action" against the North. She threatened to further bolster her country's nuclear forces.
On Thursday, North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast, shortly after it vowed responses to the just-ended South Korea-U.S. firing drills near the Koreas' heavily armed border.

[Billings Gazzett] An IRS investigation of a Great Falls gun dealer this week has outraged U.S. Rep. Matt Rosendale, who said federal agencies are being weaponized for harassment.
Wednesday, agents from both the IRS Criminal Investigation and Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms spent several hours searching records at Highwood Creek Outfitters, a Great Falls gun shop and indoor firing range.
ATF deferred all questions about the search to the IRS, which confirmed the search but would only say that "IRS Criminal Investigation was on site as part of their official business."
"I’m incredibly disturbed by initial reports that the IRS and ATF closed Highwood Creek Outfitters without any warning today," Rosendale said in press release. "This is yet another example of the Biden Administration weaponizing federal agencies to target and harass hardworking Americans. We cannot allow Biden to continue expanding these agencies to infringe on our liberties."

The state Department of Revenue audited the business earlier this year, VanHoose said. He characterized the issue as a few things needing to be classified correctly. He doesn’t think the IRS search is related.
