Just a question.
“Asking for a friend” and all that…

5 dead, 68 shot is the current official tally. I would bet that it goes up a bit, but my guess of 12 dead was high. (Which might just mean that Chicago has better doctors?)….I had placed my bet on 18 and 75.

Still, my prediction that it would be mostly on the South Side and South Side folks was correct. No great feat to predict that though….Anyone who pays attention could have correctly predicted that…

Of course, pointing the race and culture of those folks involved with the shootings is anathema to the media….No one wants to face the truth. 

I have advocated for Wayne LaPierre to leave the NRA (or be tossed, I really don’t care)….

And here we have one of the biggest “gun Guys”…at least one of the most visible, cutting ties (at least for now) with the NRA because of the mismanagement and misuse of OUR funds….

WLP cannot be gone soon enough.

I hope the Board takes note and acts soon.

I’ve learned a lot since then. I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know…

I bought a plane, and I have flown it over 85 hours since November.

I’m working towards my instrument rating, and should have that in a few months.

I can go places faster, get there more quickly, and so am more inclined to take a trip somewhere when I can get there in 2 hours rather than 5 or more of driving. Flying VFR, I am somewhat too much at the mercy of Mother Nature, but that instrument rating will alleviate some of that issue….

All in all, it’s been a great experience. More adventures to come.

And they forget it is really “Independence Day”…the day we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence….the birth of our nation…..the day the colonists stuck their finger into the eye of the King and told him he was no longer their Sovereign …

(Just as an aside, We really should celebrate on the Second, not the Fourth….but that is the day the document is dated….even if it was SIGNED on the Second. ….)




Remember WHAT we celebrate on the “Fourth of July”....

Except…you know….not so much.

DHS is having to deal with nearly THREE times as many people….and the death rate is less than HALF of Barry Obama’s. And there was early the exact same amount of overcrowding during Barry’s reign……But no one cared to notice or do a story about it.

But oddly, Trump is the Nazi who treats people badly…..

But leftists don’t care about those pesky facts….”Because Trump“, after all…

From Tonight ’til Sunday at midnight.

SCC predicts 12 dead and in 55 shot in Chicago this weekend. 

Place yer bets, folks.

I bet 95% on the South side, or folks FROM the South Side.

I’d also bet on a bit of “Wilding” in the more affluent shopping districts in the evening….

All bets are off if it rains though

I agree. Something Should Be Done.

But where are we gonna find the funding? I mean, we couldn’t come up with any money for a border wall to prevent these people from ILLEGALLY entering, so when they are caught, we have to hold them for processing….

We obviously need more (and larger) facilities to hold these folks while they are set up for release (where over 80% won’t show up for processing anyway, but that is another topic for another day…..)

So what are you Liberals who are protesting willing to cut to pay for the new facilities???
Welfare? AFDC? SNAP (Food Stamps)?  Midnight library book readings by Transsexuals? “Green boondoggles Initiatives? Other Socialist Programs?

Someone has to pay for these facilities that y’all are demanding…..How are ya gonna pay for it? 

While there may be some folks for whom saving is impossible, I gotta say that I think that this is simply choices people make….newer cars, newer shoes, the latest IFone, eating out instead of cooking at home, $6 coffees….

Most people could choose to live differently and save $50 per week. $2500 per year. it isn’t easy, and it takes discipline, but it can be done.

Choices. Live large until you can’t,,,,.Or choose wisely.

I think it’s a cultural thing too.
