The Planners and Their Plans

If you are my age, the very mention of Chicago’s Cabrini-Green housing project calls to mind memories of how liberalism’s “War on Poverty” ultimately ended in catastrophic defeat: At its peak, Cabrini-Green was home to 15,000 people, mostly living in mid- and high-rise apartment buildings, totaling 3,607 units. Over the years, crime and neglect created […]

Who Commits Crime?

Her neck tattoo tells you everything you need to know about her. Her name is Fantasia Shantal Rivera, and “Beautiful Disaster” is a rather comprehensive summary of her life.

Liberal Idiot: ‘There Are Proven Strategies to Interrupt These Cycles of Violence’

Perhaps you have forgotten the name Lisa Bender.

Unfortunately for local shoppers, (a) liberals in Minneapolis decided to “defund” their police department and (b) Uptown is in Rep. Ilhan Omar’s congressional district. A column in the local […]

‘The Vision of the Anointed’ Returns

One of the most predictable consequences of a Joe Biden presidency — assuming the Democrats get away with this obvious fraud — will be an astonishing increase in violent crime. Recall that in the five or six months prior to the election, riots occurred across America in support of the “Black Lives Matter” movement, dedicated […]

A Short Probation in Chicago

Say hello to Kamari Pleasant of Cook County, Illinois. On Nov. 2, Kamari was sentenced to two years probation after pleading guilty to a gun charge. Less than three weeks later, he was back in custody: A convicted felon who just started serving probation on a weapons charge was hunting for rivals in a South […]

When Police Yell ‘Drop the Knife,’ Guess What Happens If You Don’t?

Antonio Estrada, 26, has been charged with arson, assault with a deadly weapon and resisting arrest in connection to a series of incidents that ended with San Francisco cops shooting Estrada.
