Woman found dead in van ´riddled

A woman has died after her van was ´riddled with bullets´ while she was driving on Chicago´s Lake Shore Drive early this morning. The shocking slaying comes days after a 15-year-old girl was randomly gunned down in a south-side neighborhood on Tuesday and brings the city´s death toll for 2013 to at least 43. Today´s shooting occurred at around 4 a.m. on the Lake Shore Drive ramp leading to Interstate 55. The 32-year-old woman was traveling south with a 37-year-old female passenger in her 2000 white Dodge when a

Comments:
The negligence of the national media in not reporting this is appalling. I can´t imagine how fearful I would be if I lived in that city.

If they could just get a couple of the killings to be white on black, we could get the Rev-runs and the media on top of this!

All I can say is, thank God for strict gun control and for "Chicago Values".

I also notice that once again, we are getting this information from a foreign media outlet. I assume the scant coverage of this typical occurance in Democratically controlled Chicago is for reasons similar to that of why the Benghazi shooting was at first ignored and then blamed on a video. It just doesn´t comport with Rahm´s vision of the city.

It is just more dead on proof that gun control laws don´t work. Pun intended.

Chicago should change their City Emblem to a person with a pistol target on their front.

FTA: "Police said the shooting was related to gang and drug activity and was not random."

There you have it. Chicago is not a dangerous city unless you are involved in a gang or drug dealing, or are in one of the bombed out neighborhoods where it takes place. Once in a while it spills out into the rest of the city, like this hit did. But you have a greater chance of being run over by a drunk driver or being hit by lightening than being hit by stray gunfire, unless you find youself in one of the bombed out neighborhoods where this drug war is being fought out.

These are lowlife losers, the product of the Great Society, fighting it out over drug turf. And all the marches and candlelight vigils will do absolutely nothing until the people in those neighborhoods stop protecting the animals who are murdering their children.

And make no mistake about it. They are animals. The were whelped by "mothers" by multiple "fathers," were on their own as soon as they could walk, raised themselves in the streets, and have absolutely no values or morals or human compassion.

It almost appears as if the politicians are standing by just letting them kill each other. Why bother to find a murderer if you know that if you just wait a few weeks his victim´s gang will take him off the street for you? And then that gang retaliates, and on and on. And no one cares until some good kid gets in the way. But all the good families know exactly who the gang members are, but refuse to turn them in. They are paying a big price for their racial unity.

It´s strange that the mayor´s name was not mentioned, nor was the fact that gangs which are known to run Chicago are permitted to run amock while Rahm burns with mayoral power, refusing to do diddly about any of this.

Chicago and Detroit should be declared war zones; no commerce in or out until the gangs are cleaned up, imprisoned or sent to live on Alcatraz with what I pray will be the rest of the criminals in America, including members of Congress. Especially members of Congress. Alcatraz isn´t being used. Put it to good use. We can have our own Gitmo.

Why doesn´t Rahm do something other than speciously noting that gangs should stop killing each other? Wow. That helped a lot, I see.

The woman is the latest victim of Chicago´s out-of-control gun violence.

"...GUN violence"? As though the guns themselves did the shooting without criminals pulling the triggers? How about "criminal gang violence", Rahm?

How about y´all quit the futile attempts to blame guns and gun ownership by lawful people?

How our media can sleep nights and continue to protect the criminals in high places is beyond my ability to understand. Conscience-less politicians run this country and until the citizens who live there demand change, it will remain so.

What were the shooters thinking? They did the hit on Lake Shore Drive!

It was actually on the entrance ramp to South Lake Shore Drive from I-55 at 4:20 this morning. It is unusual for a woman to be the target of a gang hit.

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens” project because of their power to “influence real and sustained behavior change” on the eating habits of kids. “With their impressive reach and great potential for impact, museums and gardens can launch community

During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing today, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., grilled outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller about the IRS targeting a pro-life group in Iowa. "Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: ‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’" Schock declared. “Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock. “The content of one’s prayers?” “It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either,” Miller replied. After Schock pressed him further, Miller explained that although

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

Bloodletting, in the form of firings, dismissals, resignation, and expulsions, is a tribal rite in political Washington. It is most often used by the powerful on anyone less powerful as a symbolic sacrifice. Steven Miller, the now former acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, is the latest victim of ritual sacrifice. This week the Obama White House demanded his resignation to demonstrate the president’s “anger” at news that the IRS targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status for added review and slow approval. Next, we’ll watch as Congress takes up the bloodletting knife.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
