That Illinois’s time has come….or at least the beginning of it.

They’v finally run out of “Other People’s Money”.

Illinois Must start paying Medicaid bills. Additional $239,000,000.00 each month PLUS an additional BILLION in the next year.

And they don’t have the cash.

They haven’t had a budget in 3 or 4 years. (How can a state operate without a budget?….Oh yeah , when it is run by Democrats) ETA: Even NEW JERSEY has to have a budget or the State shuts down. How does Illinois operate?

If I had a pension from the State of Illinois or a subsidiary,  I’d be worried. 

Wasn’t kind to his privates:

Man sits on gun in car seat, shoot self in groin.

I bet that hurt. A lot. 

So the Left, in an obviously planned campaign (gleefully pushed by the Media), has accused Trump of poor taste and bad rhetoric and simply not making twitter comments in good taste.

Perhaps true. He could take the High Road a bit more often.

But a bit of the “Pot calling the kettle” and all that innit?

The rhetoric from the Left, since well before November, has been rude, cheap shitty, disrespectful and just plain cheap shots.

But, as usual, the Left holds their opponents to a higher standard than they do themselves. Perhaps they could learn from the unsolicited advice they have given him. 

Made up, Democrat and DNC operative and Press (but I repeat myself) bullshit designed to harm Trump and boost ratings. 

Which I would just write off as “politics as usual” except for the fact that Robert Mueller is gonna spend MILLION if not Tens of MILLIONS of your tax dollars looking for something to satisfy his masters…some kind of charge they can level against Donald Trump of his appointees. I object, not to the dirt digging (I actually approve of that!) but to the character assassination and to the fact that it is PUBLIC FUNDS tat are paying for it.

And the sad part is that all the liberals, even the formerly (somewhat) rational ones are frothing at the mouth for someone to find something on Trump….no objection to a Special Counsel who has nothing to point to to start his investigation except some meme put forth a few days post-Hillary defeat by the DNC to explain their terrible loss….Which the Media jumped on and repeated enough that it took on a (artificial) life of it’s own…..

Again: I don’t object to an investigation of the accusations. I DO object to the fact that the accusations are made up from Whole Cloth and that the U.S. Taxpayers are paying for it. Let the Media do its job, and find some (real) dirt that can be proved.

Each and every single judge that stayed Trump’s Travel Ban. Each and every one of them. The ban was legal, Constitutional, and well within the powers of the President to enact.

The Supremes said so.

Any and all of the Judges in the Circuit courts, by their actions, have shown that they are not able to be dispassionate nor apolitical, but rather are partisan hacks. Which disqualifies them from, you know, actually adjudicating according to law.

That is a LONG time to be giving CPR. I’m in decent shape and I start sweating about the 3 minute mark. Tired after 5.

I bet that last 5 must have been hell.

But he saved the dude’s life.

Chicago police officer saves life of man who collapsed on basketball court.

I’m not sure I could give CPR for 10 minutes.
Could you?

For Fake Hate Crimes, the likely wouldn’t be any Hate Crimes in the US.

Another example:

A 22-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of starting a small fire at a Des Moines mosque Thursday morning, police said.


At about 10 a.m., Des Moines firefighters and police were called to the Islamic Center of Des Moines, 6201 Franklin Ave., where there had been a small fire on the carpet, according to a Des Moines police report

There was, as always, “no link to terrorism”. However, had it been a white man…..

And notice that the Federal nor State Government cannot legislate tolerance.

On the one hand, I believe that a business should be allowed to discriminate/Refuse Service against anyone they choose to. Gays, blacks, whites, chinese,Muslims, Catholics  martians, single women, single men, Women with short hair, CisBiGenderQueersWhatever with(or without) purple hair, Fuzzies, dogs, unshaven men (or women), cats, sheep (especially sheep),  etc…..Camels too.

Now, if they go out of business because someone objects to that discrimination and tells everyone about it on Social Media, and people stop buying at their business or decides not to use those services….then tough shit for them.

But they get the choice to be stupid and Walk their Talk, be it religious, bigotry, stupidity,  or just plain muleishnes.

So, on the one hand, I find this Court of Appeals decision good.

On the other hand, the law has a bunch of language that essentially makes Christianity the State Religion, which I object to.

And the law allows public servants to choose to use a “Religious Objection” as a reason to not do their job….such as City and County clerks to choose to NOT issue marriage licenses. Which is wrong. If you are a Clerk, and you object to something your job requires, you can quit, but you can’t just not do your job.

So this is a halfway win for freedom, but a fail for Constitutionality and for making certain Public Servants do their job…

I’d expected better from the 5th Court…..

So we have, at least, a First Amendment issue, and at least a Fourth Amendment issue.

Yet, we get “Qualified Immunity” once again.

At what point are officers gonna be held personally liable for their actions? Until they are, then we will have cases like this.

I get it. A noise complaint. Then they want to use that as an excuse to search, because that is what cops do. Then they mock and verbally abuse a woman, because bullies…(Which a lot of cops are, and a lot more aren’t, so don’t tell me in comments how cops are pigs and all that shit, ok?) AND THE COURT SAYS IT IS WRONG BUT LETS ‘EM GET AWAY WITH IT ANYWAY!
Until the courts begin punishing cops for this, our Constitution is, indeed, just a piece of paper. And our Constitutional rights are just words. And the cops oath is just so many words as well.
