  • UNO Charter Schools Engaging in Graft & Corruption

    Kudos for the Sun-Times for shedding light on this.

    Business as usual.  The friends of the friends get rich on the backs of the taxpayer.

  • Crain’s Propaganda on Illinois vs. Indiana

    My comment on a brainless story:

    Since when is Crain’s the new PR mouthpiece for Quinn and Rahm?

    Except for the graphic this piece is nearly 100% opinion. So Indiana spent $300k on a campaign and got 20 or so companies to move. Those companies may provide several millions worth of tax base; yielding a huge ROI for IN. But the author just sweeps that under the rug.

    Yes, IN does not have the “white collar” talent pool that Chicago has. But it will develop it over time. Success is a long term game; not a lottery ticket.

    The Illinois Machine has driven us to the edge of insolvency. Rahm appears to have a plan. Quinn is a headless chicken. But sooner or later the taxpayers are going to get a tax bill the likes of which have never been scene before. Then we’ll see how many more people decide to move East and North.

  • Feds investigating finances of former Ald. Sandi Jackson: sources – Chicago Sun-Times

    A federal financial probe of the once-politically powerful Jesse and Sandi Jackson has evolved into two separate investigations, with federal authorities taking an independent look at former Ald. Sandi Jackson, sources close to the probe told the Chicago Sun-Times.Included in the scrutiny of Sandi Jackson, who resigned from her 7th Ward aldermanic position last month, is her access and use of her husband’s congressional campaign money, including credit card charges, as well as the movement of money from one account to another, sources say.

    Anyone surprised?

    Of course not.

    Jesse Jr. and Sandi are getting exactly what they deserve.  For years they made themselves wealthy on the backs of the people they were suppose to serve.  They are the worst kind of people.

    Maybe someday some enterprising prosecutor will open the books on the old man.  He’s not done a single good thing for the black community in 30 years.

    Good riddance.

  • Obama Admin Claims it can Kill Americans

    Think about this for just a second.

    A confidential Justice Department memo concludes that the U.S. government can order the killing of American citizens if they are believed to be “senior operational leaders” of al-Qaida or “an associated force” — even if there is no intelligence indicating they are engaged in an active plot to attack the U.S.

    via NBC News.

    It’s official.  Well, as official as NBC News.  Your government thinks that it has the right to murder you without any criminal (or any judicial) proceeding whatsoever.

    What the #%&%!

    So what they’re saying here is that the executive branch of the government can unilaterally decide without any hearing in any court, without any authorization from congress, without a jury of peers, without any due process, the Obama administration can label someone, anyone, for death.

    That there is not rebellion to this means that America has lost her soul.

    We’re doomed.

  • Immigrant Knows More About US than Most Citizens
