Chicago police investigate the scene where two police officers were shot in the 4300 block of South Ashland Avenue in the Back of the Yards neighborhood of Chicago on May 2, 2017. (Nuccio DiNuzzo/Chicago Tribune)A vehicle believed to have been used by the offenders who shot two police officers in the Back of the Yards neighborhood was found near 37th street and Racine Avenue. (Brian Jackson / For the Chicago Tribune) A “manhunt’’ is underway, Guglielmi said. "We should not be here at 11 o'clock at night thanking the Lord above that these officers survived," said Ald. Raymond Lopez, whose 15th Ward covers Back of the Yards. "It is incomprehensible that ...

Once the clock struck midnight on Donald Trump’s 100 days in office, Stephen Colbert’s claws came out. He delivered his most vicious attack on the President to date during the monologue of Monday night’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, using language many were shocked to hear come out of the late night host’s mouth — including a derogatory slur many consider to be homophobic. Colbert’s 12 minute monologue (!) began by addressing Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania over the weekend and and the handful of interviews he granted, singling in on his interaction with Face The Nation host John Dickerson. Trump wasn’t so quick to offer up answers to many ...

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Rush Limbaugh, it is an honor to be with you always. Thanks for having me on. RUSH: If this is what happens, Mr. Vice President, why vote Republican? What is the point of voting Republican if the Democrats are gonna continue to win practically 95% of their objectives, such as in this last budget deal? THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, look, respectfully, Rush, I actually think this was, as the president said a little a while ago, I think this was actually a clear win for the American people.

Trump calls for government shutdown-nuclear option combination in September

President Trump on Tuesday called for a government shutdown at the end of September in order to kill the legislative filibuster in the Senate so he can pass more of his priorities. “The reason for the plan negotiated between the Republicans and Democrats is that we need 60 votes in the Senate which are not there!” Trump tweeted. “We either elect more Republican Senators in 2018 or change the rules now to 51%. Our country needs a good ‘shutdown’ in September to fix mess!” Trump agreed to a deal between congressional Democrats and Republicans over the weekend to avoid a partial government shutdown that would start early Saturday morning with no spending bill. ...
Will the ... Second Civil War --- Turn Violent?

Will the Second Civil War Turn Violent? Dennis Prager | May 02, 2017 In a recent column, I made the case that Americans are fighting the Second Civil War. The deep chasm that has opened up between the left -- not liberals, the left -- and the rest of the country is so wide and so unbridgeable that there is no other way to describe what is happening. But I noted that at least thus far, unlike the First Civil War, this war is not violent. Unfortunately, there is now reason to believe that violence is coming. In fact, it's already here. But as of now, it's only coming from one direction. Left-wing thugs engage in violence and threats of violence with utter impunity. They shut down ...

Balch Springs, TX — On Saturday night, 15-year-old Jordan Edwards was murdered by a Balch Springs police officer, as a car, in which he was a passenger, drove away from a party. Immediately after police killed him, the chief parrotted his officer’s false claim of fearing for his life as the vehicle drove ‘aggressively toward him.’ On Monday afternoon, however, after watching the body camera footage, the chief realized he’d spread a lie. So, he did the right thing and told the public the truth — the car was not a threat and was driving away. Police Chief Jonathan Haber admitted on Monday that the car full of innocent teenagers was driving away from the ...
Donald Trump: ‘We’re Very Happy with’ Republican Budget Agreement

President Donald Trump indicated that he would sign the Republican Budget agreement with Democrats, despite growing dissent from his base that Congressional Republicans caved on important priorities. “We’re very happy with it,” Trump said in an interview with Bloomberg News, pointing to the $1.5 billion for border security. “And I think it’s important that we keep moving along. I think both sides are happy.” After an agreement was reached, Democrats crowed that they were able to save funding for Planned Parenthood and block funding for the wall, despite Trump’s campaign promises. “In a defeat for President Trump,” House Minority Nancy Pelosi ...
Why There Will NEVER Be A Political Solution To America’s Problems

Why do things never seem to change no matter who we send to Washington? It seems like for decades many of us have been trying to change the direction of this country by engaging in the political process. But no matter how hard we try, the downward spiral of our nation just continues to accelerate. Just look at this latest spending deal. Even though the American people gave the Republicans control of the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives, this deal very closely resembles “an Obama administration-era budget”. It increases spending even though we have already been adding more than a trillion dollars a year to the national debt, it ...
Big Oil Now Has Authority To Arrest You For Protesting A Pipeline On Your OWN Property

If you’re a resident of Huntingdon County unfortunate enough to have your property in the path of Sunoco’s Mariner East 2 pipeline, you can forget protesting — unless arrest and jail time aren’t an issue for you. Common Pleas Court Judge George Zanic signed a rare and factious “writ of possession” order last week in favor of Sunoco, which had sought an “emergency measure” to thwart landowners protesting pipeline construction by occupying trees — on their own property. In short, protesting encroachment of this pipeline on one’s own property will earn an arrest. “We’re seriously looking at going to jail,” Elyse Gerhart told ...
Save Liberty, Shut Down the Government

Congress ended the week by passing a continuing resolution keeping the government funded for one more week. This stopgap funding bill is designed to give Congress and the White House more time to negotiate a long-term spending bill. Passage of a long- term spending bill has been delayed over objections to Republican efforts to preserve Obamcare's key features but give states a limited ability to opt out of some Obamacare mandates. This type of brinkmanship has become standard operating procedure on Capitol Hill. The drama inevitably ends with a spending bill being crafted behind closed doors by small groups of members and staffers and then rushed to the floor and voted on before most ...

Racial unrest has wracked St. Olaf College, a small campus in rural Minnesota, with students essentially taking over the campus with aggressive protests that forced administrators to cancel classes on Monday so demonstrators could air their grievances in a day-long sit in. The sit-in followed unrest on Saturday during which angry students blocked entrances to campus buildings and demanded redress for a string of alleged racial incidents on campus. “The students have taken over the campus like a coup,” Kathryn Hinderaker, vice president of the College Republicans, told The College Fix in a telephone interview Monday. In the recent past, conservative students there have voiced ...

The cat in the famous thought experiment can be alive and dead at the same time, in a quantum phenomenon known as superposition. But, whether this effect translates to larger objects has long remained a mystery. Physicists have now created a way to ...
Democrats confident they can block Trump’s agenda after spending-bill win

Democrats think they have set the stage to block President Trump’s legislative priorities for years to come by winning major concessions in a spending bill to keep the government open. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) secured nearly $5 billion in new domestic spending by exploiting disagreements between Trump and GOP lawmakers over spending priorities. Democrats’ lopsided victory on the five-month deal, which is likely to be approved this week, means it will be very difficult — if not impossible — for the GOP to exert its will in future budget negotiations, including when it comes to Trump’s 20 ...

Oh, let us all rejoice, the government won’t go into hiatus as they try and budget our money that they’re spending. This is hilarious. This is like the cult-following TV show that always threatens to cancel the next season. Everyone gets scared and writes in demanding the network keep the show on the air. Or the favorite character in a series of novels and the author alludes to possibly killing off the character in the next book. Everyone writes in, scared spitless, begging and pleading the character not be killed. As if it’s a real person. There could be a genocide where 5,000 human beings a day are being machine-gunned into trenches and people will act like it’s just a ...
Congress’ spending bill protects medical pot states

WASHINGTON — Congress extended protections to 44 states that have legalized medical marijuana in its proposed $1 trillion spending bill that funds the government through September. The language prevents the Justice Department from using any of its funding to “prevent” those states from “implementing their own laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana.” This amendment, championed by former Reps. Maurice Hinchey, D-N.Y., Sam Farr, D-Calif., and current Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., more than 10 years ago, finally became law in 2014 as part of the omnibus bill that funded fiscal year 2015.

Despite recent reports that White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon had been sidelined within the administration, it appears he may be winning back the President’s favor. In an interview with Bloomberg, Trump defended Bannon, describing him as a “very decent guy who feels very strongly about the country” and had received a “bad rap” from the media. Trump also disputed the media’s portrayal of Bannon as an ‘alt-right’ figure, stating that he sees Bannon as “alt-left”, on the basis that “Bannon’s more of a libertarian than anything else.” In response to reports of tensions between Bannon and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared ...
Libertarianism Needs To Become More Realistic

Libertarianism is important, and I want it to be more influential. For it to do this though it has to become more realistic. I believe a major impediment is that many - though not all- libertarians imagine a vision of society that the vast majority of Americans simply do not want. If they somehow managed to win electoral power for a short time and execute their vision, it would be tremendously short lived with a massive backlash. [Boldness Added] Not a realistic libertarian. (AP Photo/Steve Helber, File) For proof of this, I think people just need to look around to state and local government. Most of us have little choice about which Federal government we live under.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia. — An inmate stole a sheriff's deputy's firearm and shot two deputies, one fatally, before stealing two vehicles and committing other crimes in two states as he tried to flee Monday, authorities said.

A former Palo Alto High School biology teacher has been sentenced to two years, eight months in prison for assaulting a 15-year-old student in his classroom in June 2016. Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Vincent Chiarello also ordered Ronnie Farrell to do three years of parole upon release from state prison and to register as a sex offender for life. Farrell faced nine felony charges, including six counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a minor and three counts of sexual battery, resulting from two separate assaults on the victim. In January, Farrell, 47, pleaded no contest to four counts of lewd and lascivious conduct on a child age 14 or 15 and one count of sexual battery. He ...

Chaz Wing was 12 when they came after him. The classmates who tormented him were children, too, entering the age of pimples and cracking voices. Eventually, he swore under oath, the boys raped him and left him bleeding, the culmination of a year of harassment. Though Chaz repeatedly told teachers and administrators about insults and physical attacks, he didn't report being sexually assaulted until a year later, launching a long legal fight over whether his school had done enough to protect him. Chaz's saga is more than a tale of escalating bullying. Across the U.S., thousands of students have been sexually assaulted, by other students, in high schools, junior highs and even ...
