| CHICAGO -Chicago authorities say seven people were killed and six wounded in gun violence in one day. Among those killed Saturday was a 34-year-old man whose mother had already lost her three other children to shootings. Police say Ronnie Chambers, who was his mother´s youngest child, was shot in the head while sitting in a car. Police say two separate double-homicide shootings also occurred Saturday about 12 hours apart. In one, a 16-year-old boy and a 32-year-old man were killed.

Makes you want to implement Chicago´s gun control laws, doesn´t it? S/O I don´t know for a fact but I assume the majority of the victims and shooters were black. Until they address the black culture of killing each other it won´t make a bit of difference how many laws they pass.

Were any of the perpetrators NRA Republicans carrying licensed assault weapons? Just asking.

This is just another example of liberals assigning Jim Crow value to black people. I can´t remember if the value was 2/3,3/4 or 7/8´s of a human but they sure don´t reac tto black killings like they do white. Having affirmative action also admits blacks still have Jim Crow value.
I´m 100% behind black people having equality but it needs to be earned just like with anybody else. White privledge is a liberal myth to validate things like affirmative action or lowering education standards in black schools.
This i sone of the reasons the white and black left hate white adoptions of black kids because they more or less turn out normal.As long as you´re stuck with ghetto parents,it´s a blanket excuse to claim poverty as the reason for your failure.

Chicago´s motto..."we´re #1, we´re #1...in murders!"
But of course Zippy, Mooch and Rahm will never bring up this very inconvenient fact for discussion since 95% of the murdered are black..killed by other blacks. Just so untidy when the liberal narrative goes awry!!!!!

Assume that Revrum Jackson keeps a private jet on standby for possible use on any non-Blaque involved with his chosen people. But note that he and Revrum Al won´t lift a finger about the genocide ongoing between abortion and blaque on blaque, even outside his gated community. Oh well, all in the life of a racialist.

Where is the OUTRAGE, yelling and screaming by all these self righteous Liberals, especially Senator Feinstein sounding on those Gun Bans in Chicago? Come on Senator, prove to America that you are not a two faced anti-american hypocrite. I don´t think you have the Ethics, Integrity or Guts to come out from under your desk.
Come on Senator, I am defying you.

The black race seems to be committing genocide on itself. Between the murders, abortions, drugs, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes,and other mostly self inflicted problems, they contiue to inflict on themselves, they are a dying race. Hope they don´t think Obama gives a rats rear about them now.

Chicago is the murder capital of the USA. Black on black violence. America has very serious, and out of control, Afro-American problem.
Let´s give blacks many more guns. That will help curb the astronomically high illegitmate birth rate amongst blacks and keep the population in check. Good for America.
Didn´t one of Americas favorite sons adopt Chicago as his hometown. Isn´t he living in DC now.
Know why Chicago has such a high crime rate? Because that´s where all the criminals live - less those who have moved to DC.

The only real difference between Chicago and Newtown Connecticut is about a month. If all the Chicago killings that happen in a month happened all at once it might be big news, but spread them out over a few weeks and these preening, self-absorbed, disingenuous defecrats couldn´t care less. No siree, not one bit, but pass laws that only impact the law-abiding citizen and you´ve got their interest!

Between the astronomical abortion rate of black children and the black-on-black murders, heck, the KKK wasn´t anywhere near as effective in "controlling" the black population.
I wish I could say I was being sarcastic in these remarks. Maybe sad is more accurate.

Things could hardly have broken better for Republicans these last few weeks -- a trio of scandals, all combining to embarrass the Obama administration at the same time. But now, a growing number of Republicans are worried their party will screw it up. For every cry of "impeachment," there´s a louder cry from the GOP establishment not to get too far ahead of themselves, at least not yet. Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus says he´s not worried about a "political strategy," instead he´s "concerned with" the same thing "the American people are concerned with," which is "just getting to

A Navy dolphin training to look for mines off the coast of San Diego found a museum-worthy 19th-century torpedo on the seafloor, military officials said. The brass-coated, retro wonder of technology was one of the first self-propelled torpedoes used by the U.S. Navy. Just 50 of these so-called Howell torpedoes were made and only one other example has been recovered; it sits in the Naval Undersea Museum in Keyport, Wash., outside of Seattle.The 130-year-old, 11-foot-long weapon was discovered back in March during a mine-hunting exercise that the Space and Naval warfare Systems Center Pacific (SSC Pacific) was conducting with bottlenose dolphins.

The Department of Defense confirms to NBC 5 Investigates that accused Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Hasan has now been paid more than $278,000 since the Nov. 5, 2009 shooting that left 13 dead 32 injured. The Army said under the Military Code of Justice, Hasan’s salary cannot be suspended unless he is proven guilty. If Hasan had been a civilian defense department employee, NBC 5 Investigates has learned, the Army could have suspended his pay after just seven days. Personnel rules for most civilian government workers allow for "indefinite suspensions" in cases "when the agency has reasonable cause

Not since George Wallace, perhaps, has an Alabamian taken as passionate a stand for a lost cause as the one Jeff Sessions is taking now. Bipartisan immigration legislation is making its way inexorably through the Senate Judiciary Committee. Although its ultimate fate is unclear, its passage by the committee is assured, and conservatives on the panel such as ranking Republican Chuck Grassley (Iowa) and Orrin Hatch (Utah) are doing what they can to improve the bill. Even firebrands such as Ted Cruz (Tex.) and Mike Lee (Utah) are holding fire. Then there’s Sessions. The wiry Southerner is on a one-man

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

WASHINGTON – White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday Republicans owe Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, an apology for alleging she played a part in formulating the White House’s response to the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, last year that killed four Americans. Pfeiffer said on ABC’s “This Week” that the release of more than 100 pages of Benghazi emails and notes show “beyond a shadow of the doubt” that accusations she tried to change the narrative of what happened in the attacks was false. "And, frankly, I think that many of the Republicans
