That’s funny right dere, I don’t care who ya are.


Add Admiral Ackbar err, Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot to the NIMBY/Good for me but not for thee ranks. Back in July she ordered up some CPD protection for her home.

“I think that residents of this city, understanding the nature of the threats that we are receiving on a daily basis, on a daily basis, understand I have a right to make sure that my home is secure,” Lightfoot told reporters, according to the Chicago Tribune.

While I didn’t watch much of the Dems just concluded “convention” I did notice someone wasn’t involved. Tulsi Gabbard. The Rep from Hawaii was one of seven candidates to earn delegates for the presidential nomination. Turns out she wasn’t even invited.

A 19-year-old, who confessed that he carried out abusive behavior toward multiple girls in middle school, won his primary race for the Kansas state House of Representatives. Community college student Aaron Coleman won his primary despite confessing that he engaged in “bullying, revenge porn, and blackmail.” He beat a 13 year incumbent, Stan Frownfelter, 823 to 809.


25 year old Marquise Lee Love has been arrested. For those of you who don’t know who he is, he’s the asshat that took a running kick at a dudes head in Seattle about a week ago.

Love has been charged with riot, coercion, and second-degree assault. His total bail is set at $260,000, jail records indicate. I hope he likes buggery. . . .

The Golden State killer will die behind bars. Joseph DeAngelo, 74, pled guilty in June to 13 murders and 13 rape-related charges stemming from crimes in the 1970s and ’80s under an agreement that spares him the death penalty. Today, Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Michael Bowman handed down several consecutive life sentences. Good riddance, although personally, I’d have rather had him ride the lightning. . . .
