Two men were killed and at least 10 people have been wounded since Friday night in city violence including a man and a woman who were stabbed when a 5-year-old boy was shot on the city’s South Side, Chicago police said.

In the possibly domestic-related incident involving the 5-year-old, two people were taken into police custody after a suspected brawl started in a hallway of an Englewood building in the 6700 block of South Parnell Avenue about 7:20 p.m. Friday. At one point, the boy was shot in the thigh and two adults were both stabbed.

The most recent homicide happened shortly before 2:30 a.m Saturday in the 4600 block of West Monroe Street in the West Garfield Park neighborhood, where a 23-year-old man was fatally shot and a 28-year-old man wounded.

 

According to police, the younger man was sitting inside a vehicle and the 28-year-old was standing outside next to him when they both were shot. The younger man suffered a wound to the chest and was taken in critical condition to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The older man was shot in the leg and also went to Stroger, where his condition was stabilized, police said.

Another fatal shooting happened around midnight in the Fernwood neighborhood in the first block of West 103rd Street. The victim was identified as Joshua Smith, 19, of the same block were he was killed, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. In the Fernwood attack, a 36-year-old man also was shot in the leg but told police he did not know the person who was killed.

In other shootings:

  • Shortly before 5 a.m. a 23-year-old man was shot multiple times in the hip in the first block of South Leamington Avenue in the Austin neighborhood. He was outside with a group of people when someone on foot opened fire, wounding him in the hip. He was taken to Stroger Hospital, where his condition was stabilized.
  • About 4:37 a.m., a 25-year-old bicyclist was shot by someone in a white Ford Focus in the 6900 block of North Ashland Boulevard in the Rogers Park neighborhood. A passerby drove the victim to Presence St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, where his condition was stabilized, police said.
  • Shortly after 3:30 a.m., two people were shot in the 9000 block of South Stewart Avenue in the Princeton Park neighborhood. Officers responding to a ShotSpotter alert found a 26-year-old man shot multiple times in the body. He was unable to talk. Another man, 25, also was shot in the leg, but he was uncooperative with police. His condition was stabilized at the University of Chicago Medical Center, but the older victim was in critical condition, police said.
  • Shortly before 2 a.m., a 39-year-old woman was shot in the 2000 block of 70th Place in the West Englewood neighborhood. Police said the victim was outside with a group of people when a person on foot fired shots, hitting her in the leg. The woman got herself to Holy Cross Hospital, where her condition was stabilized. Police said she was not the intended target.
  • About 1 a.m., a 21-year-old man was shot while he was a passenger of a vehicle in the 9100 block of South Baltimore Avenue in the South Chicago neighborhood. Someone in a passing gray vehicle fired shots, hitting the victim in the arm and leg. He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where his condition was stabilized, police said.
  • Shortly after 9:45 p.m. Friday, a 35-year-old man was shot in the 3700 block of West George Street in the Logan Square neighborhood on the Northwest Side. Police said he was standing in the alley when he heard shots, then felt pain. He was taken with a wound to the leg to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where his condition was stabilized.
  • Shortly after 7:15 p.m., a 19-year-old man was walking in an alley in the 1900 block of South Millard Avenue in the Lawndale neighborhood when someone pulled out a gun and started shooting in his direction.

Democrat Dayton Shooter Would “Happily Vote” for Elizabeth Warren

The shooter expressed his preference for Warren on his now-deleted Twitter feed.

By Richard Moorhead

The leftist Democrat who committed a mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio Saturday, killing at least nine people and injuring 27, expressed his support of leading Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren on his now-deleted Twitter feed.

Connor Betts, 24, stated that he preferred Elizabeth Warren to Kamala Harris in a tweet, on an account purported to be his. The account, which had the username @iamthespookster, has since been taken down by Twitter.

Kamala Harris is looked down upon in some hard-left and socialist circles for her track record as a Prosecutor in California. It would make sense that a committed socialist such as Betts would view her negatively.

Betts was killed by Dayton police less than a minute after he began a massacre at a Dayton bar. He used an AR-15 rifle with a hundred-round drum magazine.

Betts had identified as ““he/him / anime fan / metalhead / leftist / i’m going to hell and i’m not coming back“ on the now-deleted Twitter account. He expressed support for ANTIFA terrorist Willem Van Spronsen, who was killed by police in Washington after deploying an incendiary device against an ICE immigration detention facility. Read about more of his leftist affiliation and radical political beliefs here.

Although Betts’ political views are clear, authorities are yet to pin down a specific motive for his actions at the downtown Dayton bar on Saturday. Betts murdered his own sister and her boyfriend in the attack. It’s possible he was acting in retaliation to the seemingly white nationalist mass shooter who carried out a heinous murder spree in El Paso, Texas, earlier that day.

Warren, who currently stands in either third or fourth place in most polls for the Democratic presidential primary, is yet to give a statement fully disavowing the support of the mass shooter who expressed support of her candidacy.

Pollster Frank Luntz on Dem Debate: I’ve Been Following This Since 1992 I’ve Never Heard Candidates This Extreme… This Hostile to Economic Freedom (VIDEO)

by Jim Hoft

Pollster Frank Luntz joined Laura Ingraham on Thursday following the Democratic Debates in Detroit, Michigan.

Luntz told Laura Ingraham that he has NEVER seen Democrats this hostile and radical!

Frank Luntz: I want to make this clear for the viewers. This is not a fight for the soul of the Democrat Party. That fight is over. And the hostility of these Democratic candidates, most of them, to corporate America, to CEOs, to those who have been successful is significant. The language I’ve heard in the last 48 hours is language I’ve never heard from ANY mainstream Democrat… This is about changing the structure and the economy of the United States. And they’re determined to turn it upside down. And, I gotta tell you, I’ve been following this since 1992, I’ve never heard candidates this extreme. I’ve never heard candidates this hostile to economic freedom and they got the base of the Democratic Party absolutely behind them.

HMMM: Tlaib Receives Donation From Person Dead For A Decade

Tlaib Receives Donation Dead Decade

Rep. Tlaib received a donation from a man who has been deceased for a decade.

By

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) may be using an Ouija board to solicit campaign donations, as it has been revealed she received a sizable sum from a person who has been deceased for the past 10 years.

According to Free Beacon, Tlaib’s campaign Federal Election Commission filings reveal the freshman congresswoman received a generous donation from a businessman who has been deceased for a decade.

The Free Beacon reported:

Democratic freshman representative Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) received a generous donation during the second quarter in the name of a man who died more than 10 years ago, a review of campaign and online records shows.

Tlaib’s campaign committee, Rashida Tlaib for Congress, hauled in donations of at least $2,000 from dozens of individuals between April 1 and June 30. One of those contributions was from George S. Farah Sr., a Michigan businessman, real estate developer, and community leader who made his way from Palestine to the United States in the mid-1950s. Farah passed away on Feb. 1, 2009, from heart failure, according to a Michigan Live article published at the time of his death.

On June 22, Tlaib’s campaign received a $2,500 donation in his name, Federal Election Commission filings show. A search of public records, which also state that he is deceased, provides an address identical to the one written on the contribution to Tlaib’s campaign committee. Grand Blanc Township property records also show that the residence located at that address is registered in Farah’s name along with that of his widow.

While Tlaib may have received the apparently fraudulent donation unknowingly, Free Beacon reports that she was the only candidate to receive a donation from the deceased man. Federal laws exist that make it illegal to donate on behalf of another person – living or dead – meaning there is very little chance this donation is above board.

According to The Free Beacon, the Tlaib campaign maintains that the donation came from the living heir to the original donor:

“Gisele Farah is the sole beneficiary of a trust in her late husband’s name, George S. Farah Sr., who as you noted passed away in 2009. Gisele Farah, as the sole beneficiary in control of the trust, contributed to our campaign with funds from her trust. We will amend our campaign records and filings to clarify that the campaign contribution was from Gisele Farah and should be designated under her name.”

Tlaib, a vocal member of “The Squad” derided by President Donald Trump on Twitter, appears to be having a confusing first term in Congress. Last month, she declared that the fight for a $15 minimum wage is now obsolete, and due to the cost of household items including milk, activists should now demand a $20 minimum wage.

CNN RELABELS GUEST AS “CONTROVERSIAL PASTOR” AFTER HE REFUSED TO CRITICIZE TRUMP

Watch corporate media scramble to control narrative in real-time

By Ben Warren

CNN altered the description of a guest mid-interview to “controversial pastor” after the guest refused to criticize Trump; his bio had originally described him as one of the “faith leaders.”

After interviewer Don Lemon had pressed Reverend Bill Owens multiple times if he or other faith leaders had anything to say about Trump’s “attacks on leaders of color” during their Monday White House meeting, the interview – along with Owens’ descriptor chyron – shifted to a grilling of Owens’ past remarks, his Christian faith, and if he could even be taken seriously.

See the change for youself below:

CNN Twitter screenshot“So I know it’s hard for you, you think it’s hard to believe that Trump is racist,” said Lemon. “But he’s repeatedly used racially charged language. He consistently attacks black and brown elected leaders.”

“So, why is that hard to believe? Pastor?”

Owens responded by saying Trump is a leader of all colors who doesn’t racially discriminate who he attacks.

“I find President Trump a leader of all colors,” said Owens. “He attacks who he will. He’s his own man. I can’t dictate what he should or shouldn’t do.”

“But he does not just attack black people. He attacks anybody. And you know it.”

Lemon then used that response to attack Owens’ faith.

“So as a man of faith, as a Christian he attacks anyone,” said Lemon “It sounds like you’re condoning attacks? Is that Christianly or Godly?”

Watch the full interview while keeping an eye on the 2:34 mark to note the chyron change and shift in tone:

A recent tweet from Owens explains his opinion on the encounter.

“When we heard from CNN, I weighed the costs and decided that I can’t carry out our ministry unless I’m willing to get out of my comfort zone and bring our message to Left-leaning media and the people who watch it.”

Germany to ramp up security at Swiss border after migrant pushed 8yo boy under train

Screen Shot 2019-08-02 at 11.11.50 AM

Days after a foreigner killed a young boy by pushing him and his mother under a train, the German interior minister has recommended stricter checks at the country’s Swiss border and advanced security measures at all rail stations.

“I will do everything in order to put intelligent controls in place on the border,” Horst Seehofer told Spiegel magazine in a follow-up to the harrowing incident at Frankfurt station, in which a 40-year-old Eritrean man assaulted an eight-year-old boy and his mother.

The immigrant, believed to have lived in Switzerland since 2006, pushed the pair onto the tracks seconds before a high-speed train, the Intercity Express, arrived.

The mother managed to roll out of harm’s way but her child was killed. The attacker then attempted to flee the station but was pursued by a group of passengers and was eventually apprehended by police outside the Frankfurt terminal.

Now, Seehofer wants to introduce “occasional, temporary checks at the border with Switzerland” to screen foreigners. Both Germany and Switzerland are in the visa-free Schengen area, but travelers crossing their border aren’t subjected to any controls.

The issue needs to be dealt with immediately, Seehofer warned, mentioning that a total of 43,000 unauthorized arrivals had been registered in Germany last year. The conservative politician was once at odds with Angela Merkel over imposing limits on incoming immigrants, but this time the Chancellor “is fully on my side on the issues of security.”

Border checks aside, Seehofer also urges ramping up security at railway stations. He didn’t expand on that but said it could involve installing safety barriers or locks on the platforms – similar to those already in use in London and Paris. Such countermeasures could potentially cost billions of Euros, the minister acknowledged

The Frankfurt tragedy re-ignited a heated migration debate that reached its climax back in 2015 and 2016, when Germany opened its borders to hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers – mostly from the Middle East and Africa. The heavy influx of migrants saw the crime rate going up and also led to the resurgence of the far-right extremists ready to use violence against foreigners and “pro-refugee” politicians.

Blue State Blues: Michelle Obama Cannot Save the Democrats

By Joel B. Pollak

The whispers have been going ’round for a while, but on Wednesday night they burst into the open, after the second debate: Democrats are worried none of their candidates can defeat Donald Trump.

“Is it possible that the Democrats have an overflow of talent but no one who’s precisely right?” wrote Frank Bruni of the New York Times.

Pundits on CNN looked dismayed: all of the frontrunners emerged bruised from the debates, and remain hopelessly left-wing.

Some want former first lady Michelle Obama to joint the presidential race before it is too late. Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore — who predicted Trump’s victory in 2016 — declared in an extended rant on MSNBC that Michelle Obama is the “one person that would crush Trump.”

The woman who once told Democrats, “When they go low, we go high,” is really a “street fighter,” Moore said. “He wouldn’t be able to bully her, he wouldn’t be able to nickname her.”

The former first lady is very popular, though at times controversial. But Michelle Obama is not the answer to the problem that the Democratic Party has at the moment, which is that it has moved so far to the left that even Barack Obama himself is considered too moderate.

Obama has been taking a beating lately — including from Joe Biden, whom Obama rescued from the political “trash heap,” as Trump is fond of saying (accurately, by the way).

There was always a quiet undercurrent of left-wing impatience with the Obama administration. His supporters knew he shared their radical views, but were frustrated that he often tried to mask them, or to set them aside in deference to the inescapable responsibilities of governing.

Left-wing opposition to Obama was first visible when he — reluctantly– announced the Afghanistan “surge” in 2009 (including a timeline for withdrawal that largely doomed the mission.)

Later, after the Tea Party ushered Republicans back into power in the House of Representatives, the left took matters into their own hands and launched the Occupy Wall Street movement, which Obama backed but did not, in fact, lead.

Everyone “knew” Obama favored gay marriage, religious protestations notwithstanding. But it took Biden blurting out in 2012 that he was “absolutely comfortable” with it to force Obama himself to come out of the proverbial closet.

Obama preferred “leading from behind.” But he unleashed a force Democrats can no longer control. It was Obama, not Trump, who avoided negotiating with Congress, preferring to use his “pen and phone” to impose his will, often against the Constitution.

It was Obama who told his supporters their mission was “fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” Bill Clinton lost the 1994 midterms and moved to the middle. Obama lost in 2010 and 2014 and moved further left.

The left never understood the frustration with Obama had nothing to do with race and everything to do with the fact that his policies favored Wall Street and ignored Main Street. They never learned that many of Obama’s ideas were bad, because the media never held him accountable.

The left took the wrong lesson from his failures: namely, that he lacked the will to follow his ideas through to the end. They want to finish what he started.
