The Moment They’ve Been Waiting For!
A Democrat State Rep From Chicago Wants Residents To Arm Themselves
By Jose Nino
Democrat State Representative La Shawn Ford wants people in his neighborhood in Chicago to acquire more concealed carry licenses.
In 2019, Ford ran for mayor. Ammoland notes that Ford âfavors more tax money going to Chicago from the State of Illinois, and from the Federal government. He thinks there are plenty of police in Chicago, and they should have more controls on what they do.â
However, the state rep is having a change of heart on the gun issue. On WLS-AM 890, Ford told the Mancow Show that he is encouraging his constituents to arm themselves in the face of Chicagoâs growing violence. Ford specifically said:
âI think about it all the time,â Ford said of the shootings that plague his community. âThatâs why Iâm working with a concealed carry instructor and weâre going to go through the neighborhood and weâre going to encourage people to get their concealed carry license because it makes no sense for people not to have the protections that they need.â
Urban centers may be witnessing a cultural shift on gun control. Information from gun researcher John Lott and activism from groups such as Black Guns Matter are changing the discussion on gun policy. Historically, blacks have been prevented from exercising their right to bear arms through laws such as the Black Codes and Jim Crow in the South.
Now, thanks to increased gun liberalization at the state level, blacks are now applying for and obtaining concealed carry permits in record numbers.
Illinois has played a special role in the battle to restore gun rights in America. After all, it was in McDonald v. City of Chicago, where the Second Amendment was incorporated at the state and local level. From there, all levels of governmentâfederal, state, and localâhad to respect this right. The plaintiff involved in this case was Otis McDonald, a black resident of Chicago.
This call by Ford represents a small, yet important step in changing the conversation in urban centers across America. For too long, gun control policies have rendered countless law-abiding minorities defenseless against crimes. Itâs promising that a Democratic politician and former mayoral candidate recognizes the value of concealed carry.
Letâs hope this leads to a reform of Illinoisâs gun laws.
HATE HOAX: Alleged âNooseâ Found on UMich Campus Turns Out to be Fishing Knot
The race-obsessed Left is rapidly taking Western Civilization into the depths of idiocracy.
By Shane Trejo
Administrators from the University of Michigan, one of the most liberal campuses in all of the United States, claimed that a hate crime occurred last month after a ânooseâ was found inside of the University Hospital.
After an investigation occurred, it was quickly determined that the so-called noose was actually a practice fishing knot, commonly referred to a âUni Knot,â that an employee was tying during a break from their job. These types of knots are typically used following surgery for traction. The knot was discovered the next day by a different worker of the hospital, which spurred the latest hate hoax.
UM Medical School Dean Marschall Runge did not wait for the investigation to take place in order to jump to conclusions in emails sent to faculty. He sent the campus into a frenzy with a race-baiting hate hoax that would bring a smile to Jussie Smollettâs face.
âYesterday, in one of our hospitals, a noose â a symbol of hate and discrimination â was found at the work station of two of our employees,â he wrote.
âWe have taken immediate action to have this investigated as both an act of discrimination and a criminal act of ethnic intimidation. This act of hate violates all of the values that we hold dear and will not be tolerated,â he added.
Now that it has been shown that he helped perpetrate a pack of lies, Runge refuses to show any humility or take any responsibility for his irresponsible, divisive rhetoric.
âOur community came together to support each other, reaffirmed our stance against hate, and began having open dialogues about this incident and ways to make our community more inclusive,â Runge said in a follow-up email.
âWe continue to stand strong as we make it clear to all that this organization â its leaders, faculty, staff and learners â fiercely values and defends equality, inclusiveness, respect and dignity for all, and the elimination of discrimination and intimidation in all forms,â he added.
The UM police have said publicly that they do not consider the tying of this knot to be a hate crime. However, they continue to pay lip service to the culture of witch hunting that is so pervasive on their campus dominated by leftist demagogues.
âWe all share the responsibility of creating a safe and secure environment free from violent or threatening behavior,â DPSS Executive Director Eddie L. Washington said. âAny crime designed to infringe upon these rights will be taken very seriously by the university and DPSS.â
The modern Left, on their Orwellian quest to expose imaginary racists for wrong-think, will never take responsibility for the hysteria they have inflicted on society. An individual cannot even tie a knot without looking over his shoulder as liberals bring the U.S. closer to idiocracy with each passing day.
Dr. Drew: Los Angeles Faces Imminent Outbreak of Bubonic Plague
By Joel B. Pollak
Dr. Drew Pinsky said Friday that Los Angeles faces an imminent outbreak of bubonic plague because of the growth of the homeless population and the failure of state and local authorities to deal with rodent problems.
Dr. Drew made his comments during a Periscope broadcast by Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams, who has become a popular political pundit with a daily live audience of thousands of people.
Dr. Drew told Adams that he had predicted the recent typhus outbreak in Los Angeles, which was carried by rats, transferred by fleas to pets, and from pets to humans.
Bubonic plague, Dr. Drew said, like typhus, is endemic to the region, and can spread to humans from rodents in a similar fashion.
Though commonly recognized as the medieval disease responsible for the Black Death in the fourteenth century, which killed one-third of the population of Europe, the last outbreak of bubonic plague in the U.S. was nearly a century ago, from 1924 to 1925 â also in Los Angeles. Only a âheroic effortâ by doctors stopped it, Dr. Drew recalled, warning that conditions were perfect for another outbreak of the plague in the near future.
Los Angeles is one of the only cities in the country, Dr. Drew said, that has no rodent control plan. âAnd if you look at the pictures of Los Angeles, you will see that the homeless encampments are surrounded by dumps. People defecate there, they throw their trash there, and the rats just proliferate there.â
Moreover, he said, homeless people were defecating directly into city drains, which flowed to the Pacific Ocean. âWe have the sewage of 60,000 people hitting the ocean every day,â he said.
Though there were adequate financial resources, Dr. Drew said, homelessness would not be solved by building more housing, because the fundamental problems were mental illness and drug addictions, which created an âattachment to this lifestyleâ on the streets.
The city had been successful at absorbing hundreds of thousands of âundocumented immigrants,â Dr. Drew observed, which showed that the focus on housing was a âhoax.â
But changes in mental health policy â partly as a result of public reactions to films like One Flew Over the Cuckooâs Nest, which was harshly critical of mental health institutions â had made it much more difficult to commit people to institutional care.
Dr. also said that prison reform initiatives, such as Proposition 47 of 2014â which reduced sentences, but without improvements to rehabilitation â had also played a role by letting more criminals out on the street, some of whom joined the homeless population.
And efforts at relocating the homeless â either to treatment or to prison â ran into lawsuits from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), whom Dr. Drew described as âdo-goodersâ without any idea about how to solve the underlying problem.
âHow many people must die before you change your philosophy?â Dr. Drew asked, rhetorically.
Some, Dr. Drew said, said that the situation in Los Angeles was approaching a national emergency that would require the intervention of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Red Cross, and the National Guard. He said that he himself had not reached that conclusion yet, but that he was âready to pull that trigger if we start to see the diseases that I think we are going to.â
Recently, President Donald Trump threatened to intervene in Californiaâs growing homelessness crisis, prompting L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti and Governor Gavin Newsom to push back â without offering any solutions.
âI have a government that is ignoring the basic needs of human civilization,â Dr. Drew said, exasperated.
A recent count of the homeless population revealed that it had risen 12% over the last year, to nearly 60,000 people. Mayor Eric Garcetti, who promised to end homelessness when he first ran for office in 2013, has failed to deal with the problem despite local tax hikes to provide additional revenues. He now faces a recall effort over his failure.
Iran confiscates British tanker in Strait of Hormuz â IRGC
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has seized the British oil tanker Stena Impero in the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian media reported. UK authorities said the tanker had âveered off courseâ before capture.
The Stena Impero was headed to Saudi Arabia but left the international sea lanes and headed north towards the Iranian island of Qeshm, marine tracking data showed on Friday.
Prior to the seizure, the tanker turned off its tracking device and had ignored warnings, Iranian military sources told state media.
âThe reason behind the detention of the British tanker is that it did not adhere to the sea routes in the Strait of Hormuz, turned off the automatic identification system (AIS), polluted international waters and did not pay attention to the warnings of Iran,â the source said.
The 30,000-ton tanker is owned by Stena Bulk, and was bound for the Saudi port of Al Jubail.
Stena issued a statement that the ship was âapproached by unidentified small crafts and a helicopter during transit of the Strait of Hormuz, while the vessel was in international waters.â
The company is âpresently unable to contact the vessel which is now heading north towards Iran.â There are 23 crew members aboard.
UK authorities said they were âassessing the situation following reports of an incident in the Gulf.â
Another tanker, the Liberian-flagged Mesdar, abruptly changed course and headed for the Iranian mainland on Friday evening. The ship is owned by Norbulk Shipping UK and was bound for Ras Tanura in Saudi Arabia.
Tehran and London have been at odds since July 4, when Royal Marines boarded and seized Iranian tanker Grace 1 off Gibraltar, accusing the ship of illegally transporting oil to Syria. Iranian authorities condemned the seizure as âpiracyâ and vowed to retaliate.
Six days later, the Royal Navy said its frigate HMS Montrose intervened to prevent several Iranian boats from seizing the UK-flagged tanker British Heritage in the Persian Gulf.
Earlier this week, alarms were raised after the disappearance of the Emirati-based tanker MT Riah, flying the Panamanian flag. Iran said the tanker experienced technical troubles and had been towed to port for repairs.
On Thursday, a US warship entered the Persian Gulf and reportedly shot down an Iranian drone that had approached to within 1,000 meters in a âthreateningâ manner. Iran has denied losing any drones, however.
Washington has sought to establish a âcoalitionâ of allied navies in the region to ensure âfreedom of navigationâ in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important shipping lanes in the world for oil traffic.
Library System Rejects âDrag Queen Story Hourâ So⌠Atlanta Mayor Held it at CITY HALL
By Dean Garrison
Just when you think that things canât get any more bizarre, they always do.
For those who have been following the insane Drag Queen Story Hours, happening across America, you may find it heartening that the Fulton County library system pulled support for such an event.
Trending:Â Colorado State University Tells Students to Stop Using Offensive Term âAmericansâ
Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful keeping them out of Atlanta because liberal Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms then invited one of the drag queens to perform at City Hall.
Seriously.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution Reported:
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has invited a drag queen to hold a childrenâs story time at City Hall after the county library system pulled its support for the event to be held at an Alpharetta branch.
Bottoms made the invitation Friday afternoon over Twitter to Miss Terra Cotta Sugarbaker, the drag persona of 40-year-old Buford native Steven Igarashi-Ball: âMiss Terra Cotta Sugarbaker and all of our LGBTQ friends are always welcome at Atlanta City Hall. How about we host your next story hour? @CityofAtlantaâletâs make it happen! #OneAtlanta đâ
The invitation was accepted and the first event was actually held at City Hall just over 2 weeks ago.
From WABE on June 28:
Miss Terra Cotta Sugarbaker â the drag persona of 40-year-old Buford native Steven Igarashi-Ball â will be hosting âDrag Queen Story Hourâ at Atlanta City Hall.
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms will be hosting the event. This event came after the county library system pulled its support for a âDrag Queen Story Hourâ reading event at an Alpharetta branch.
Mayor Bottoms invited Miss Sugarbaker via Twitter:
The event was eventually put back on the calendar, but Miss Sugarbaker was met with some hostility once arriving to the library.
Regardless, the reading still had a sold-out show and Alpharetta Mayor Pro-Tem Donald Mitchell attended the event to show his support.
âThatâs the beauty of public spaces, like a library. They should offer something for everyone, and they should be a safe space for everyone,â Igarashi-Ball said.
Igarashi-Ball has been a part of these library readings for the last two years. He reads mostly at charity events and public libraries around the Atlanta area.
So the library system eventually caved but the Mayor wanted the event at City Hall anyway.
Did you notice the phrase âsold-out showâ in the above?
They did not actually sell tickets to the June 29th event, but they did require reservations. You can see more at this Event Brite site.
Here is a video report from Fox 5 Atlanta:
http://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/drag-queen-hosts-story-time-at-atlanta-city-hall
There were some demonstrators that were against the event.
They may have outnumbered the supporters but we wonât hear that from the liberal media.
And⌠as for the sold out show claimâŚ
I counted 13 kids in the above screenshot.
There are over a million people in Fulton County, so despite the hype we can rest assured that MOST of them are still sane.
But what the heck were the parents of those 13 kids thinking?
Berkeley City Councilor Calls Tucker Carlson âWhite Supremacist Goblinâ
The California progressive had led a drive to rename manholes âmaintenance holes.â
A Berkeley, California city councilor denied a request to appear on primetime Fox News host Tucker Carlsonâs show on Thursday in prolific fashion.
Rigel Robinson tweeted an email exchange with a booker for Carlsonâs show, in which he called the primetime host a âwhite supremacist goblin.â
The city councilor had sponsored a drive to rename manholes- the term commonly used in the English language for the covers of sewer access pipes on the streets- to âmaintenance holes.â According to Robinson, the new word imagined for the the objects is nominally more âinclusiveâ than its predecessor.
Carlsonâs scheduler reached out hoping to book Robinson to explain his move. Robinson flipped out in response, making the leap from gender-neutral language to accusing Carlson of racism in relatively unprecedented terms.
âUnfortunately I wonât be able to come on the show,â Robinson expressed in his email. âTucker Carlson is a dangerous, xenophobic, racist, white supremacist goblin who I am not interested in engaging with.â
The email thread in which Robinson accused Carlson of being a fantasy creature from J.R.R Tolkienâs universe was deleted on Twitter as of Friday morning, and itâs unclear if the tweet was removed by the city councilor or censored by Twitter. Robinsonâs affiliation with the progressive left makes the former far more likely.
Although his desperate bid to avoid being questioned on Orwellian redefinition tactics appears to have succeeded for now, the progressive has made it clear that he has no genuine argument for stripping the term âmanholeâ of its commonly known and traditional title.

Hacked Emails: Hillary Campaign Monitored News about Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton
By Aaron Klein
NEW YORK â Hacked emails previously published by WikiLeaks show members of Hillary Clintonâs 2016 campaign staff routinely monitored the news media for associations between Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein.
A separate cache of emails show Democratic National Committee staff internally circulating stories and social media postings tying Epstein to Clinton.
Emails captured during the hack of the Gmail account of John Podesta, chair of Hillary Clintonâs 2016 presidential campaign, show campaign staff forwarding news articles associating Epstein with Bill Clinton.
One email sent to Podesta from Bill Clintonâs chief of staff, Tina Flournoy, contained a January 2015 BuzzFeed article titled, âPlenty Of Innuendo, But No Hard Evidence Of New Clinton Sex Scandal.â The subtitle was, âMuch-discussed documents in Jeffrey Epstein affair donât live up to the hype.â
âGood,â Flournoy replied.
A February 5, 2015 email to campaign staff titled, âHRC Clipsâ singled out a column published in the small Times-Picayune newspaper, a local New Orleans limited publication.
The piece tied Clinton to Epstein, relating:
Thereâs a story going around the tabloids and the trashier parts of the mainstream media that could spell trouble for the presumed Democratic frontrunner in 2016. It concerns a certain (as he would be listed on Louisiana ballots) William âBillâ Clinton.
The story involves Clinton palling around with the very shady (and very rich) Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein, a convicted pedophile who would later donate somewhere between $1 million and $5 million to the Clinton Presidential Library, reportedly flew with Clinton and a couple of babes to visit the Sultan of Brunei back in 2002.
News clips about Epstein and Bill Clinton from numerous other days were also circulated among campaign staff, the emails show.
One email titled â2016 GOP HIT on HRCâ was widely circulated among Clintonâs campaign staff and DNC officials. The missive contained the text of a Fox News articletitled, âFlight logs show Bill Clinton flew on sex offenderâs jet much more than previously known.â
Numerous emails from various campaign and DNC staff forwarded tweets from high profile Republicans promoting the Fox News article, including tweets on the Epstein and Clinton story sent out by Trump spokesman Sean Spicer and Republican National Committee staffer and future White House Spokesperson Raj Shah.
Bill Clinton has long maintained an association with Epstein. Last week, the former presidentâs office issued a statement claiming that he âknows nothingâ about Epsteinâs alleged crimes involving sex trafficking and minors.
The statement in question, tweeted by Clintonâs press secretary Angel UreĂąa, says: âPresident Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York.â
This after the controversial financier pleaded not guilty last week to sex-trafficking charges in Manhattan federal court. In the case, Epstein allegedly âsexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his homesâ in New York, Palm Beach, and other locations. The indictment also charges that Epstein paid some of his alleged victims to recruit more underage girls. Today, Epstein was denied bail in the case and is set to remain in jail pending the trial.
Last week, this reporter documented a list of six major problems with Clintonâs full statement on Epstein.
Below, in no particular order, is that list again.
1 â Clintonâs statement claims a âtotal of four tripsâ on Epsteinâs private jet amid widespread reports of many more trips.
One portion of Clintonâs statement, via his spokesperson, reads:
In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epsteinâs airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation.
The statement failed to mention documentation reportedly evidencing many more trips with Epstein on the financierâs airplane.
Fox News previously reported flight records show that from 2001 to 2003 Clinton took at least 26 trips aboard Epsteinâs jet, dubbed the âLolita Express.â
Newsweek reported on a previous Gawker story exposing flight logs showing numerous private airplane trips that Clinton allegedly took with Epstein. One flight reportedly included a softcore porn actress while other trips were allegedly shared with women listed on flight manifests without their full names.
Newsweek reported:
In 2015, Gawker released the flight logbooks for Epsteinâs Gulfstream and the Lolita Express 727. Bill Clinton is among the prominent people listed in the flight logs, having took several trips on the Lolita Express with a softcore porn actress listed under âmassagesâ in Epsteinâs address book, also published by Gawker. Clinton shared eleven flights aboard the Lolita Express with Maxwell and Epsteinâs former assistant Sarah Kellen, who has been accused in court filings of recruiting young girls, acting as a pimp on Epsteinâs behalf. On multiple flights, additional women, listed in the flight logs by their first name or the simple descriptor âfemale,â joined Clinton aboard Epsteinâs plane.
2 â Clintonâs statement leaves out that the former president was reportedly on the airplane with Epstein himself.
The statement that âin 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epsteinâs airplaneâ seems to imply that Clinton utilized the airplane itself but conspicuously fails to mention whether Epstein was onboard. According to numerous reports, Clinton was a frequent flyer on the pervertâs private airplane, traveling with Epstein and unidentified women numerous times.
Epsteinâs fleet reportedly included a Boeing 727-200 passenger jet that normally seats nearly 200 but was modified for private use. Fox News reported Epsteinâs plane was âoutfitted with a bed where passengers had group sex with young girls.â
3 â Clintonâs statement claims that his Secret Service detail was present âon every leg of every tripâ with Epstein. Yet numerous reports allege that Clinton ditched his assigned Secret Service agents on some flights.
His officeâs statement reads:
In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epsteinâs airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation. Staff, supporters of the Foundation, and his Secret Service detail traveled on every leg of every trip.
Fox News reported records show Clinton âapparently ditching his Secret Service detail for at least five of the flights,â since no agents names appeared on the manifest
Investigative journalist Conchita Sarnoff, executive director of Alliance to Rescue Victims of Trafficking, stated, âI know from the pilot logs and these are pilot logs that you know were written by different pilots and at different times that Clinton went, he was a guest of Epsteinâs 27 times.â She added that âmany of those times Clinton had his Secret Service with him and many times he did not.â
4 â Clintonâs statement does not mention that some of the trips reportedly encompassed multiple legs with several other possible flights.
Once again, the statement about the airplane trips reads, âIn 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epsteinâs airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation.â
The Asia trip alone, which flight records show occurred between May 22 and May 25, 2002, was reportedly a five-leg trip.
According to Fox News, flight records show Clinton flying to such destinations as âHong Kong, Japan, Singapore, China, Brunei, London, New York, the Azores, Belgium, Norway, Russia and Africa.â
5 â Clinton denies traveling to Epsteinâs so-called Orgy Island. One Epstein accuser disputes that claim.
Clintonâs statement says the ex-president has ânever been to Little St. James Island, Epsteinâs ranch in New Mexico, or his residence in Florida.â
Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre claimed in an affidavit that she saw Clinton on Epsteinâs private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Her claim has not been corroborated.
6 â Clinton has a long history of credibility issues regarding claims about his mistreatment of women.
Clinton famously claimed of Monica Lewinsky, âI did not have sexual relations with that woman,â but was later impeached by the House of Representatives for lying under oath about this relationship with the White House intern. He also denied credible sexual assault accusations from Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey, among others.
