Just saw ABC news map of weekend gun violence on Good Morning America. I think 4 states were shown in red. Illinois was not. I wonder why that was?

If they all moved to farms, the government would pay off the farm loans. Then they couldn'tnt shoot each other!.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT... The british had a whole continent of people to build rail roads in Africa, but they still had to import Indians and others to do the hard work.. why do you think that was?

For the same reason I’m still waiting to ride the African designed, built, and operated bullet train from Nairobi to Capetown.

You only think it was Deshaun who did the shooting - According to Mayor Lighthead, Mennonites from Indiana with illegal guns are pouring across the border to shoot up the Hood.

—”They are just practicing for upcoming 3-day weekend.”

I suspect the overnight temperatures have a major effect.

Long ago when I was a kid in 1950s Chicago there was no AC.
Families would sleep in the local parks and the lakefront.

Those days are gone!

Lori Lightfoot Flees In Terror After Thomas Sowell Takes Her Up On Offer For Black People To Interview Her
The Babylon Bee ^ | 5/21/21, Posted on 5/21/2021, 2:27:13 PM by Impala64ssa

CHICAGO, IL—Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was seen running for her life this afternoon. Observers said that Lightfoot exploded into a frantic sprint after she saw Thomas Sowell approaching to interview her. According to sources, Lightfoot had recently said she “would only grant one-on-one interviews to journalists of color.” Moments later Thomas Sowell crashed through a nearby wall in a fashion reminiscent of the Kool-Aid Man. Lightfoot, living up to her name, went into a mad dash and has not been seen since.

People at the scene said Sowell brushed the drywall dust off of his corduroy jacket and said, “It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.” He shrugged and most of the people present nodded in agreement. “Well, guess I’ll go,” he said. He then burst through another unbroken portion of wall and left.

Lightfoot was last seen on a traffic camera charging down Canal Street like a Japanese man in a Godzilla film.
