Has Any News Outlet Asked Any Cops On The Streets Of Chicago What They Think About Rahm's Firing....

of McCarthy? It would be interesting to get their take on it.

On second thought = they would probably not want to go on record one way or another for fear of retaliation.

McCarthy Out In Chicago - Now The Mayor Needs To Resign.....

Rahm is announcing right now that he asked for McCarthy's resignation. He was made the scapegoat in this cover-up of the police shooting of McDonald - 16 shots pumped into a black boy.

Why didn't this come out earlier - because Rahm had an election to win. He wouldn't have won if this video came out before the election. Chuey Garcia would be the mayor of Chicago now.

Rahm reminds me of Eddie Haskell of the Leave it to Beaver show. He's a model on camera - but behind the scenes he'll screw you every time.

Trust goes right up to his seat as Mayor. I don't think the people of Chicago can trust him anymore. He needs to resign.

I wonder if Alvarez will be next to be fired or resigned.

Why Are Politicians Afraid To Call It What It Is "Domestic Terrorism"....

When the press or MSM interviews these politicians - they start to stammer and carefully choose their words and try to evade the question by changing the subject. Why are they so afraid to call it what it is? What are they worried about?

When Did We Start Using The Term "Civilians" Instead Of "Victims" Or "Innocent Bystanders"....

when describing deaths in a shooting like this one in Colorado Springs?

Was the shooter in the military so we call his victims - civilians?

What is going on with this seemingly new way of characterizing victims in a shooting?

No Pun Intended But Could An Oil Rich Country Be Fueling A War....

to get oil prices up?

This came to me in a dream (more like a nightmare). Just woke up in a cold sweat and thought I'd post this.

Think about it. No better way to jack up the price of oil then to foment a war.

Is there something going on behind the scenes that we're not privy to?

The Burger King Video - A Question...

I just heard Cook County State's Attorney Alverez say that the BK video wouldn't have shown anything. She said it in a way that she knew the cops that went in to view the video. That suggests to me that they can get these cops together and question them. I would like to see them do just that. Question them separately and see if their stories match.

Was Van Dyke Still Working The Streets The Last 14 Months?....

This cop that pumped 16 shots into McDonald and murdered him - was he still working as a cop over the last 14 months before the charges were leveled on him?

I heard that he was cited over the years approximately 20 times. I don't think he was ever disciplined. Does anyone here know?

Relief Is In Sight From Terror, Terror, Terror.....

In two days - the cable news show personalities that have focused 24/7 on terror, terror, terror - will be taking Thursday Thanksgiving Day through Sunday off for a holiday hiatus. You can include the Congress (House & Senate) and the candidates running for the nomination of their party. Yes - we'll get some relief from the Klown Kar.

President Obama will be pardoning a turkey or two and everyone will be asked what they are thankful for around the dinner table.

I'll be thankful for this hiatus!!!!!!

Has Anyone Asked Trump If He Is For Allowing People On The Terror List To Buy Guns?....

I understand that the NRA doesn't mind. I'm curious if Trump cares?
