CRIME IS DOWN! Just listen to Rahm and his Police Superintendent!
CPD is 4000 Officers short, most of the 'victims' have long records and previous prison stays, Gov Quinn (D-What else) has closed prisons, and for all you tourists the lake front, Michigan Ave, and the Gold Coast are now the hunting grounds of the predators.

What you are watching is the move from area defense to point defense as the LE simply tries to protect the remaining property and tax base in the 1 percenter enclaves, after driving out the productive middle class with policies and programs that attracted the non-productive ballot box stuffers.
[Dhaka Tribune] BNP Chairperson the loathesome Khaleda Zia Three-term PM of Bangla, widow of deceased dictator Ziaur Rahman, head of the Bangla Nationalist Party, an apparent magnet for corruption ... said there was no option left except for waging a movement if the government did not take initiative to hold talks over the non-partisan interim government at an iftar party in a city hotel yesterday.
"There is no representative government in the country, and a country cannot run like this. Even the government has no interest in holding talks to resolve the crisis. We want to say clearly: if the government does not take the initiative to resolve the crisis, we do not have any other option except launching a movement," she said.
Khaleda said the government was not paying any heed to their demand, adding: "People's fundamental rights have been violated in every step. They have no security, and killing and abduction has become regular phenomena."
Criticising the incumbent parliament, Khaleda said: "No public issue is discussed in the parliament; rather, singing and reciting poems take place there. It has turned into the members' gossip place."

[Washington Post] Russia on Sunday accused Ukraine of the cross-border shelling death of a Russian civilian, warning of "irreversible consequences" in a sharp escalation of rhetoric that raised fears in Ukraine of an imminent Russian intervention in the east.
The accusation, which Ukrainian security officials denied, set off furious recriminations in Russia, with one senior politician calling for pinpoint Arclight airstrikes on Ukrainian soil of the sort he said Israel was currently making against the Gazoo Strip.
Ukrainian security officials meanwhile said that around 100 military vehicles driven by "mercenaries" had attempted to cross the border from Russia early Sunday morning, and that Ukraine's military had destroyed some of the vehicles.
Russian officials summoned the Ukrainian charge d'affaires to the foreign ministry in Moscow to protest the civilian's death, which they say occurred when the Ukrainian army shelled Russia's Rostov region from across the border, hitting a residential building.

[THEAUSTRALIAN.AU] North Korea fired two short-range missiles into the sea Sunday, Seoul's military said, in an apparent show of anger at an upcoming joint military exercise between South Korea and the United States.
The North fired the two ballistic missiles into the East Sea (Sea of Japan) at 1:20 and 1:30am local time, the South's defence ministry front man said.
"Their range appeared to be around 500 kilometres (311 miles)," he said, adding Seoul's military had stepped up monitoring for additional launches.
The move — the latest in a series of similar launches in recent weeks — came a day after Pyongyang condemned an upcoming Seoul-Washington naval joint exercise.
The annual drill, from July 16-21, involves the US aircraft carrier George Washington, which arrived in the southern port of Busan on Friday.
The North bristled Saturday at the nuclear-powered carrier visiting the port, calling it a "reckless" act of provocation.
"The US should properly understand that the more persistently it resorts to reckless nuclear blackmail and threat, the further (the North) will bolster up its cutting-edge nuclear force for self-defence," said the North's top military body, the National Defence Commission.
The North has habitually slammed joint military exercises south of the border and often responded with missile test-launches.

[REUTERS] Citigroup agreed to pay $7 billion to resolve a U.S. government investigation into shoddy mortgage-backed securities the bank sold in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis in a settlement set to be announced on Monday, sources said.
The $7 billion includes $4 billion in cash to the U.S. Department of Justice, $2.5 billion in consumer relief, more than $200 million to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and just under $300 million to settle probes by five states, said sources familiar with the negotiations.
Spokespeople for the Justice Department and the bank declined comment. Representatives of attorneys general of New York, Delaware, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, Massachusetts and Illinois, the states said to be involved, did not immediately return requests for comment. Nor did the FDIC.
The settlement, signed over the weekend, caps months of negotiations, during which the government demanded $12 billion and threatened to sue Citigroup, according to the sources.

So DoJ just became independent of Congress. Meanwhile the FDIC gets a paltry $200 million to cover what in billions were paid out to depositors of those folded banks caught with the bad paper 5 years ago. While that money went out, the FDIC then stuck banks (and anyone thinking of getting interest on their deposits) with higher stiffer insurance fees (and leveraging their power to classify banks 'at risk' if they dared to have accounts from gun shops/dealers, adult film/video actresses, et al).
[FOXNEWS] A Ukrainian military transport plane was shot down Monday along the country's eastern border with Russia as fighting between government forces and pro-Russian rebels intensified.
The Ukrainian military stepped up efforts to retake more territory in the city of Luhansk from the weakening insurgency, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said Monday. Government defense officials said their troops have taken control of several villages on the fringe of Luhansk and reopened a corridor to the airport.
Luhansk resident, Sergei-- who declined to give his last name due to fears of reprisal—told the News Agency that Dare Not be Named that panic had gripped the city Monday due to reports that Ukrainian paratroopers were intermittently entering the city center and detaining rebel fighters. Exit points from the city have been blocked and Lions of Islam are confiscating cars and belongings from residents attempting to flee, Sergei said.
Rebels immediately grabbed credit for downing an Antonov-26 plane but Ukrainian Defense Minister Valeriy Heletey said the rocket may have been fired from Russia.

Btw, what happened to the outrage Jessie Jackson was braying a few days ago on this same matter? Guess he found out that Team Zero has the goods on a few Chicago "Celebrities."

Who knew? The IQ67 crowd has aborted birth controlled themselves right out of political relevancy. New, more compliant, non-English speaking constituents are now arriving daily.
I'm not even sure what to say about that. I have never heard that used as a compliment or positive; or are we setting a bar so low that manchild is a worthy goal?
"Bush's approach to Katrina was criticized by his allies and opponents alike, and some of that criticism was deserved, but he never treated the situation in New Orleans as though it was a political opportunity. That is a grotesque abuse of the public trust, but this seems to be the calculation the president and his advisors made."

No matter how "stupid" or "moronic" the Demoleft accuses GOP-Republican POTUSES of being, the US was never left in as high an existential threat as it is under the Bammer.

Good article, but until it gets picked up by the NY Slimes or WaPo, it's just Hot Air.

Reagan cut a deal with the devil and agreed to amnesty for those illegals that were here. One of his great mistakes thinking that he could trust the Donks and that would be the end of it. The trouble with allowing illegals to enter this country and stay is that: 1) It is not fair to those who are going through the legal process, and 2) It is a poison pill that continues draining this country forever. Securing the border should be a priority for any president; it is a matter of sovereignty and national security--two Constitutional duties of any president.

For all the outrage heard from occasional Border patrol agents, until they decide to quit en masse; this will not get the MSM coverage, however slanted they would then spin it.
