Time to Turn To St. Rocco - Our World Is Diseased

O Great St. Rocco, deliver us, we beseech you, from contagious diseases, and the contagion of sin. Obtain, for us, a purity of heart which will assist us to make good use of health, and to bear sufferings with patience. Teach us to follow your example in the practice of penance and charity, so that we may, one day enjoy the happiness of being with Christ, Our Savior, in Heaven. Amen. Prayer to St. Rocco

I remember the Feast of Saint Rocco, when it was celebrated at St. Mary of Mount Carmel* Parish in West Englewood back in the late 1950's and 1960's. The Feast of St. Rocco was celebrated in August usually the 12th - 15th.  We lived on the south side of Burlington Northern-Santa Fe tracks at 75th Street, in the Mick-land of Little Flower, but went with our folks to the great Italian main street on 69th Street to Sardi's for meats, Naples Bakery and to eat well at Louis George's.

Many of my Italian neighbors moved from the wood framed two story apartments, or single family cottages in St. Mary's to the Georgians and brick bungalows in Little Flower and they introduced us Turkeybirds to glories of the feast of St. Roccos - games, Italian beef and sausage 'samich-es wit green peppers 'n onions.' Most of all the great fireworks attendant to the close of feast.  When I was about five Terry Smith, Al and Charlie McFarland, by brother Whitey and me asked the smartest guy south of the Wood Street viaduct, Maury Lanigan where the great fireworks came from and were shamed by the shaman, " That's the Dago Carnival."  Oh.

As we got older (grow up? as if.) we went with our Italian buddies over the tracks and to the great carnival.

The Procession of St. Rocco travelled the circuit of the parish from the Church on Hermitage down 67th Street to Damen and south to 69th Street ( home of the 69th street Loafers) and east to Ashland and then back to the church.  After stuffing our potato-holes with cotton candy and those no-longer existent red hard-crusted cinnamon candied apples, Italian ices and beefs we hiked back over the tracks (rather through the swampy viaduct behind the steel factory) to our Georgians and raised ranches on 75th Place and Wood Street.

Once home, before street lights out mind you, we would sit on the curb and watch the greatest sky show of the summer.  From St. Mary's huge and majestic pyrotechnics dominated the skies over Englewood in what seemed an endless fire works show.  All in celebration of the 13th Century Frenchman from Montpelliar who is so venerated by generations of Italians.

Rocco was born with a red birthmark on the left side of his chest.  Shortly he was orphaned and raised by his uncle the Duke of Montpellier.

St. Rocco grew up about three hours west of Nice in south of France.  Yesterday, Islamist savages drove a panel truck through a crowd of innocents celebrating the French Fourth of July -Bastille Day. These activists slaughtered four score human beings in the cause of the Caliphate.

Here in America, we are trying to recover from the slaughter of five Dallas Police Officers and dozen more by a savage activist.  You can call him what you will.

There will be no healing in the near future here any more than in the Non-Caliphate world.  Professional Oligarchs running for President, activists in the pay of a Hungarian Bond Villain, media clowns and group-thought academic facists will keep the scabs yanked off any healing. Sad to say.

Our world is diseased.  Our world is diseased by charlatans and thieves who would "Deconstruct" humanity.  We have no common humanity. We are Diverse, because we must stay Balkanized and aggrieved.

Disease knows no class, no race, no faith and no mercy.

St. Rocco was a well-to-do young man related to the Duke of Montpellier.  He denied the material world and dedicated his life to God and everyone on God's earth who suffers.

Rocco went to Italy, where a plague was decimating the population . Rocco prayed for the sick and cared for them with his RoccoCare.

He too caught the plague and developed a horrible oozing ulcer on his left leg.  He slept on leaves and drank water from a creek, but he was fed crusts of bread from a dog who had discovered the suffering Rocco and grabbed a loaf of bread off of his master's table. The dog belonged to a local nobleman who took notice of the bread snatching and followed the mutt to where the saint was holed up.

The nobleman tended to Rocco's health, but the leg never improved. Rocco had become legendary for his works among the suffering people of northern Italy over the next three years and then rturned to France sick, suffering and broke and was tossed into prison as a "spy." It turned out that the official who arrested Rocco was his uncle - The Duke of Montpellier.  On August 16, 1378,  a guard went to Rooco's cell and found him near death When the Duke demanded to know the true identity of this Italian spy, Rocco replied, " I am your nephew."  The Duke ordered the man stripped to waist and revealed the red birth-mark. He also had a red oozing sore to go with what God had blessed him with at birth. A voice was heard by the Duke and all of the townspeople saying that Rocco had merited eternal life and had gone home to Christ.

Many miracles were attributed to Rocco.

I am going to try and remember to pray to Saint Rocco and pray that our divided and diseased world comes to its senses.

St. Rocco was a big part of my childish summers,  I hope and pray that I grow up and the world turns to Rocco, as opposed to activists, oligarchs and frauds.

Be Like Bill Nye the Science Guy! He's Not Fat

 Bill Nye The Science Guy: Room Temparture I.Q. and The Personality of a Dial Tone.

More BS from the Social Engineers( the dweebs we locked in lockers during high school) - For years Progressives have hated

• tobacco smokers,
• automobile owners
• families with many (more than two) kids (Breeders)
• people who eat sugar, meat, fois gras
• tax-payers
• patriots who honor people of Valor and not necessarily Activists
• people who like to play team sports like football, where a bunch of Fa . . .husky gents make skinny guys look good 

and have done their level best, via " American Progressive Alchemy - social science surveys, games studies and polling" to not only make people, not like them ( NYT readers, NPR 'Fun' Folks, John Anderson Voters, Gym Joiners, Cycle Fascists, Vegans, IPA snobs, rain barrel cranks, soul patch and knit cap donners, members of NON-Judgmental religions: Atheism, Unitarians, Pat Quinn Petition signers and Hooka Pipers) doubt themselves but,at least, disappear from the public dialog.

The meme be - if lithe, liberal intellectual and entitled to cycle in violation of all laws of traffic and physics: a healthy, patrician - one of us and there are so feeeeeeeeYOU of us. If corpulent, cornball, common, bigoted, bloated, bourgeoise, and too stupid to live, let alone breed.

Now, the Bike Nazis and East Bank Gym Gold Card Members have a new study telling their enemies - tubbies, guys with Dunlop's Disease, lard-asses, porkers, tenth of a ton-ers -that, If one is fat, having eaten real butter with popcorn and the odd Big Gulp while watching the latest Michael Moore snoozer, chances are one is dumb

Fat people are less intelligent than people with a normal weight, a provocative study claims.Overweight men and women have less grey and white matter in key areas of the brain.They also have greater impulsivity and ‘altered reward processing’, the study said.The researchers said that their findings could explain why overweight people make poor diet choices - they do not have the mental capacity to control themselves.Nor are they able to stop themselves from making poor choices when the do eat something.The theory is likely to prove controversial as weight loss campaigners have emphasised that each individual has different reasons for their struggle with their body.

Oh, eat me!

Justin Bieber, Bill Nye the Science Guy, the Karadshians, Miley Cyrus are room temperature I.Q.s

People are different - you know " White Men Can't Jump!" Yuck, yuck, yuck, Wheeeee Doggie that's a knee slapper!

Here are but a few heavy weights who belie this latest scientific progressive Proofs of Life!!!!!! It's a science, Dude!

 G.K. Chesterton

 Antoinin Scalia

 Samuel Johnson

 Henry James and the Shondells

Edward Gibbons

Science is a tool of the arts meant for widening dialog to people of intellectual heft and perhaps a few stone more than Bill Nye.

Science is an end to people who want something to be true and don't want to think for themselves and want conversation to cease.

Fat Guys do not doubt Climate Change; they merely bother to read more and think for themselves.

Yep, White Men Can't Jump. That kills me. Black Men Can't Get a Hat Trick.

( that must be the racism of a fat guy)

Chicago Alderman, Cop Hater and Celebrated Nit-Wit Lets Rahm's Rats Out of the Bag - The Privatization of City Policing

"I loved police work.  It was all about helping people. In those days, when you had to answer a call in a high-rise, your radio was in the car. If you got into trouble, if the neighbors wouldn't call for help, you wouldn't get any help. But I never felt scared or threatened, even in public housing. The people respected you and even the gangs feared you." former Alderman William Beavers 2006.

"We need every possible resource in our neighborhoods to commit to stopping crime. It can't rest on the police alone. We have money in the SSA in Wicker Park, let's use it for the security of our residents," Alderman Proco Joe Moreno

Chicago Police Department shields millions of people from idiots, thugs, syrupy nit-wits who get simple folks to put themselves in harms way (activists) and thieves and has done so ever since Archibald Clybourn was named High Constable in 1837.

Cops are wonderful - no equivocation whatsoever.  They are my neighbors; they protect the kids going to Leo High School in Auburn Gresham: they birth babies - I know six who have done so and they take the heat and the light of scrutiny for the corrupt, venal and cowardly politicians.

The police officers I know are African American ( many, many Leo High School alums), white ( many, many, many Irish, Italian, Polish, Lithuanian Catholic League athletes, military veterans) woman and men ( only men are Leo graduates) who happen to be tough, energetic, ethical, great-hearted and the wittiest of human beings. Cops are the greatest humorists this side of hell's elevator doors.

Politicians?  I know one who actually works -Alderman Matt O'Shea. One of the most great-hearted politicians was former Alderman William Beavers, who spent 21 years in the blue shirt of CPD. Alderman Beavers was and is the real deal.  He fell afoul of the Hyde Park Mafia and found the news media and the Feds crawling all over him.  The Tribune and Sun Times and WTTW could have dialed up the heat on Mother Theresa.  Bill Beavers is no Mother Theresa and did six months for gambling with his Campaign funds.  Some Progressive tulip dime'd him out to the G.  Beavers was always a gentleman and never put himself above the people of Chicago neighborhoods.

One Chicago neighborhood is home to the hip and the hip eat where it is hip to dine, drink where an Old Style is considered ironic and groove to the tunes all over Milwaukee Avenue - Wicker Park.  Wicker Park is so hip that Spike Lee decided to film Englewood, Auburn Gresham, Grand Crossing and Chatham in Wicker Park for his epic pandering Race Hustle ChiRaq - starring John Cusack as Pastor Pfleger. Wicker Park is home to 26,000 residents.

The Aldermen for Wicker Park (there are two - Brian Hopkins & Proco Joe) want to hire private security for Wicker Park.  Proco Joe Moreno, the Chick Fil A clown and Mayor Emanuel's Number One Go-to-Rump-Muncher, is testing the waters for Rahm Emanuel's eventual privatization of the Chicago's policing.

This is fine. President Obama will push for his Civilian National Security Force today as he meets with Activists and a couple of compliant cops, after talking about himself at the Dallas Memorial for five slain officers on Tuesday.

You see Wicker Park is a Chicago Lab School for Police Outcome.

Politicians want something, usually to benefit themselves, or their brothers Ari and Zeke, and get the Paul Simon Institute* to do polling ( I'll bet Ald. Proco Joe already put in the call to Carbondale) and feed outcomes and data to Eric Zorn and other media myna birds with the caveat "THIS can't Wait! The Time Has Come!  Chicago is ready for its own Sturmabteilung 

Alds. Brian Hopkins and Joe Moreno said Tuesday they want to use $100,000 from a Wicker Park/Bucktown taxpayer fund surplus to hire security guards from private firms who can augment the local police force.
“This is a common sense measure with the goal of enhancing security for the Wicker Park and Bucktown communities within the [Shakespeare Police/14th District],” Hopkins said. “It’s unacceptable not to use available resources in addressing issues that are impacting the safety and security of our communities.”
Special Service Area districts, sometimes called Business Improvement Districts, levy a special tax on property owners for communal services such as snow removal, landscaping, sidewalk cleaning and graffiti removal.( emphasis my own) 

Both Aldermen vote with Rahm and would argue that there are "plenty of cops" serving the city.

This is the opening step to the long awaited destruction of Chicago Police Department.

If you like this common sense  measure to provide hired guns in Wicker Park, you will love Barack Obama's National Police Force - a Progressive Geheime Staatspolizei.

It can not wait!


*Governments, whose police exceed the use of force, violate
fundamental individual rights. Changes are necessary to balance
police performance with current rules. Although the mechanisms of
control are part of this perspective, police reform does not primarily
intend to punish those who abuse the force. Changes focus on
correcting faults and improving the structure of the police
organization in order to improve the performance of individual police
officers, so that it is possible to prevent the occurrence of abuse.
Such changes also seek to increase the capacity of the police to
control crimes as well as violence. In this sense, police reform is a

determinant of democratic development - Paul Simon Institute 2010

Former President George W. Bush Dignity and Brevity

I did not vote for President George W. Bush ( twice); nor, did I vote for his father ( twice).    I di not vote for President Obama, because I had met him on at least five occasions and each was wildly underwhelming.

President Bush surprised me.  I liked him and wished that I would have voted for him.  He strikes me as the type of guy who would pull over on the Chicago Skyway to help a family with a flat during a blizzard,

President Obama  would fly past, commenting on the families inadequate tires, I have no empirical doubt. President Obama has never surprised, sadly enough.

Yesterday I caught former President Bush's remarks and was stirred by these words.

Most of us imagine if the moment called for, that we would risk our lives to protect a spouse or a child. Those wearing the uniform assume that risk for the safety of strangers. They and their families share the unspoken knowledge that each new day can bring new dangers.
But none of us were prepared, or could be prepared, for an ambush by hatred and malice. The shock of this evil still has not faded. At times, it seems like the forces pulling us apart are stronger than the forces binding us together. Argument turns too easily into animosity. Disagreement escalates too quickly into dehumanization.
Too often, we judge other groups by their worst examples, while judging ourselves by our best intentions.

Brevity, heart and digity - free of political grandstanding, or making a memorial for the slain officers all about himself.  President Obama, yet again,  had more "Is" in his remarks than a drunken rugby team's rendition of Cielito Lindo.  He also made sure that Hillary Clinton and the DNC would a 'solid:" you know hundreds of years of systemic racism in every police force in Howard Zinn's America.

Well done President Bush!

Dallas Tragedy and Obama's Father's Dream of a National Police Force

“Last year, we put together a task force that was comprised of civil rights activists and community leaders, but also law enforcement officials — police captains, sheriffs,”


President Obama will go to Dallas.  He will argue for the confiscation of guns, again.  Obama has been plain on this issue,  "I don’t believe people should be able to own guns."-- Barack Hussein Obama, speaking to economist and author John Lott Jr. as reported in The Daily Caller

He will not waste this opportunity to really hammer home his stated plans for a National Police force using the Dallas shootings to hammer home Hillary Clinton's "systemic racism" meme and his post-Ferguson foundation. As the President said, “Last year, we put together a task force that was comprised of civil rights activists and community leaders, but also law enforcement officials — police captains, sheriffs, . . .“And they came up with specific recommendations and steps that could ensure that the trust between communities and police departments were rebuilt and incidents like this would be less likely to occur.”

They will occur and occur and occur until an executive order creates a Civilian National Security Force; you know, just like AmericCorps, PeaceCorps and the Marine Corps. Gosh, will they be jackbooted thugs, kicking down doors?  No, but a very wise man once said that sole purpose of a national police was "executions." A National Police controlled by the Executive Branch and the fawning media would put an end to all reports of 'systemic racism.'

No more 'systemic racism.'  No more beefy, red-faced, or beefy black-faced Chicago cops.  No more NYPD Blues.  No more Mark Furmans of L.A. and no more Police Chief David Browns to speak and act professionally and ll too humanly.



President Obama will again call for a national dialog on race and echo the DNC/Hillary Clinton 2016 Post-Dallas cry of "Systemic Racism."

President Obama has announced his desire to see America transform completely and his work is no where near completed.  Barack H. Obama has told the nation exactly what he will do and this will be his legacy. As President Obama likes to say,  “interesting things happen in the fourth quarter.”

• "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."-- Barack Hussein Obama speaking about forming a Civilian National Security Force, 02 July 2008

• "Members of the DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce shall be organized, trained, cleared, equipped, and ready to deploy in support of combat operations by the military; contingencies; emergency operations; humanitarian missions; disaster relief; restoration of order; drug interdiction; and stability operations of the Department of Defense in accordance with DoDD 3000.05..." -- Barack Hussein Obama directive defining the mission of a newly formed the Civilian National Security Force, a.k.a. the "DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce" whose mission would be as a National Police Force. The new DOD 1404.10 directive cancels the prior directive of the same designation "Emergency-Essential (E-E) DoD U.S. Citizen Civilian Employees", which was issued in 1992 under President Clinton.

• "It [the Constitution] didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as it's been interpreted, and the Warren court interpreted it in the same way that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can't do to you, it says what the federal government can't do to you, but it doesn't say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf. And that hasn't shifted." -- Barack Hussein Obama, Chicago Public Radio interview at WBEZ-FM, September 2001

The Late Abner Mikva - The Architect of Chicago, Illinois and the Nation

"God bless that man. Abner Mikva is a national treasure, one that has lived long enough with a front row seat to history to cut through the bull and identify what is most important in these hours of decision." Daily Kos

Chicago mayors. “I was never a fan of Richard J. Daley, he was never a fan of mine, and I thought the city didn’t work well under him. It worked well in the Loop, but out in the neighborhoods the city was in pretty bad shape. I didn’t think Jane Byrne did much to improve the situation. I was very impressed with the job Richard M. Daley did spreading out the goodies of Chicago to the entire city. A lot of the groundwork for that was laid in the Harold Washington campaign. Richie kept up with that and I think Rahm Emanuel has done a good job in that respect. It’s very hard — being mayor of a big city like Chicago is one of the hardest jobs in the country.” in Andy Shaw's BGA Watchdogs

The intial quotation is from Daily Koss,  shorty after President Elect Barack H. Obama, announced the appointment of Hillary R. Clinton for Secretary of State and there was some mild concern wafting among the Media about foreign dollars stuffing the Clinton Foundation.  Abner Mikva, who along with Newton "Vast Waste Land" Minow discovered young Barack Obama among the reeds in the Washington Park Lagoon and casting pond, wrapped in swaddling clothes and dreaming of his Dad  and Lo, beheld the consummation of their long lives.

The second quote is from  Abner Mikva wedged into a column by Andy Shaw, a local news nit-wit and public laughing stock. head of the Better Government (BGA), local gate-keepers for the corporatist Democratic and GOP oligarchs of Illinois and public laughing stock.

The quote is not only historically wrong, but oozes with an irony worthy of most self-absorbed sould-patched and knit-capped Wicker Park activist hispster born of hearty Kennilworth hedge-fund stock and really committed to Occupy Anything, Black Lives Matter and any group thought meme-stock found in Reasonable People Unite.  They make Trump wanna holler, Dude!

Actually, I believe in my heart of hearts that Donald Trump wants Hillary Clinton in the White House more than Chuck Todd and the late Abner Mikva.

Abner Mikva was a mighty man and he built a political machine that made Richard J. Daley's Ward works seem like an NAACP bake sale in Kaskaskia, Illinois.

Black people flocked to Chicago (Second Migration) all through Richard J. Daley's terms as mayor and Black families began the great Black Flight out of Chicago with Richard M. Daley's advent.  That is because opportunities for employment, a home, an education and a path into the middle class was available, because policies Mikva's Hyde Park Mafia* converted Richie Daley to implement are designed to destroy the middle class.

Yes, siree Bob! The Mikva Challenge, the Shakman Empire, University of Chicago sanctioned City Hall, Lawsuit Lotteries, Garbage Grids, TIFFS, Single Narrative Media Voice ( WTTW,WGN, WBBM, ABC 7, NBC 5, Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun Times, Chicago Values, International Socialists Organization control of Chicago Teachers Union.

Abner Mikva birthed Toni Preckwinkle, Jan Schakowsky, Pat Quinn, Mike Quigley, Larry Suffredin, Proco Joe Moreno, Rahm Emanuel, the late Dawn Clark Netsch, Barabar Flynn Curry, Larry Bloom, Bill Singer, Rod Blagojevich, Bobby Rush, Danny Davis, Jesse Jackson, Jr., . . . name a daffy, mean-spirited, humorless, slow-witted, avaricious and capacity challenged elected official and you can bet the last pennies in your pension that Abner Mikva 'straightened them out' for the Hyde Park Mafia.


Yes, Abner Mikva made Chicago, Cook County and Illinois what they are today and wait until you see America in four more years,

From "Are YOU Ready for Hillary?" to " Get Used to It" Our Orwellian Media Magic

Me, I don't have a dog in this fight.  I will pick a mutt in November and it will not be named Hillary.

Maybe, it won't even be named Donald.

What I do know, or, rather believe, is that this process of electing the President of the United States was corrupted in 2008 and only got worse.

From the faux Presidential Seal of 2008 and the Doric columns of the Obama Campaign to the North Carolina Passing of The Crown by Obama to Hillary, less than a few hours after FBI Director James Comey granted non-penitent Hillary Clinton a plenary indulgence and signalled the inevitable Presidency of Hillary Clinton (Old #45) things have been rigged, fixed, a done deal.  The Justice Department sealed the deal and Supreme Court is cool with things as they are since January, 2009.

The American Media rigged the 2008 and 2012 Elections for Barack Obama and also his third term to completed by Hillary Clinton. A very few, Like Chicago Tribune's John Kass, a man who only respects his readers, but actually likes most of us, are exceptions. Kass knows what it means to do real work, live with real consequences and for other people.  Most people in print, or on screens seem to detest all of us.

John Kass writes, . "The arc of the moral universe is long," shouted the freshly unindicted Hillary Clinton at a Democratic rally in North Carolina, with President Barack Obama at her side and the FBI behind her in her dust, "but it bends toward justice."
She nodded in triumphant agreement with herself, her head moving up and down, chin stabbing the air, a righteous bobblehead Hillary reaching for the presidency of the United States.
Clinton attributed the phrase to Obama, but he'd taken it from Martin Luther King Jr., who years before had taken it from the abolitionist Theodore Parker, who didn't live to see justice bend, dying before the Civil War.
Morality is just a word to some, a word for politicians at rallies to rationalize the grabbing of power. And if there's one thing the Clintons are about, besides lies, it is power.. . . So if this truly were a moral universe, those words would have turned to wasps in Hillary's mouth.

I have almost no regard for Donald Trump, whom I have despised as a lout, huckster and charlatan for decades.

I have less for Mrs. Clinton.

I have no regard for the cheer leading Goebels-clones - the Journolists, the Ted Turner circus animals, the MSNBC clown car and the editorial boards that have gulped the Progressive Soup, destroyed the American two-party system, divided neighbors and families, fanned the flames for a Race War if not a Class War, created an American Banana Republic and murdered history.

Ms. Kennedy Townsend Asks,"What Should A Powerful Woman Look Like?" Golda Meir

I just finished reading an essay by Kathleen Kennedy Townsend in the New York Times and boy are my arms tired.

There is always room for another thought piece by a Kennedy.  Ms. Kennedy-Townsend, or her DNC approved ghost, writes about her aunt Eunice Kennedy Shriver, herself, gives Sarah Palin a sexist jab,  and beggers logic as she relates a taxi drivers' wish for Hillary's White House gambit, because " she's hot"

Into this mish-mosh of "remember your Kennedys"  Kennedy Townsend lards out the paragraphs with Progessive playbook memes like America is intrinsically as sexist as it is nasty in all ways, because we burn women as witches, because of Christianity and only Christians put women onthe Kingsford and pastes a few sexist quotes from Aquinas and Tertullian, as well as John Adams, ending with the suggestion that Hillary will show American Girls how to be a powerful world leader.

That was an exhausting ten minutes.

Angela Merkel is not much of a world leader.  Hillary Clinton much less so.

Margaret Thatcher was adequate to her times.

Golda Meir is the Gold Standard - a substantial human being of heart, talent and experience.

She beat the Arab world still under the Nazified paw of the Palestinian madman the Grand Mufti.

She was as homely as Ben Gurion and as witty as Churchill.  Golda Meir was wonder woman long before the hoity-toity skanks of Manhattan began burning the 32 Z Playtex-es holding up their knee knockers and can't wait to see more babies aborted.

Golda Meir was no lightweight like too many Template Women in Politics (think Pelosi, Clinton, Palin, Wasserman Schultz, Boxer, Kennedy Townsend).  Mrs, Meir knew manure from mascara and once said, " We do not rejoice in victories. We rejoice when a new kind of cotton is grown and when strawberries bloom in Israel."

That is a powerful woman. 

Bruce Dold - Does The Chicago Tribune Want The World To Believe That Rahm's CPD is Not Diverse?

It must have pained Bruce Dold not to photo shop this photo by Chris Sweda with the officers gowned in Klan Robes, but that might have spoiled the narrative.

I wondered if the demographics in the Mayor's CPD HR might be misleading the public, as much as the narrative framed by editorial bosses of Chicago's big metropolitan newspapers that Chicago's disgraceful homicides are in every due to Chicago Police Officers wearing blue shirts.

The Department and the swell folks of the Police Accountability Review Board insist that Chicago Police Department is comprised of  more white personnel (6,832) than Black (4,010) and Hispanic (2,576) combined.   I was led to believe that numbers somehow matched the City's demographic.

What about Japanese, Chinese, Sikh, Indian, Montenegrin, Kiowa, Parthian and Pacific Islander Americans?


Anyway.  Bruce Dold, the Chicago Tribune Editor Boss-in-Chief signs off on the copy ( texts and Photos) that some Chicago readers swallow whole - others choke on the lard.

Bruce Dold is the Boss Editor and Rahm Emanuel is Jefe of Chicago: the Banana Republic - if you are unclear what exactly a banana republic is watch some old black and white movies from the 1930's -the 1950's, where tough and great hearted guys wearing white panama suits and hats.run guns to oppressed people in the tropics - Black and Hispanic, or both as in Hispaniola.

One disturbing image struck me early this 4th of July Weekend.  That is the one posted above that indicates via a two dimensional narrative art display that robust and hefty white ethnic Law Enforcement Officers armed with assault rifles are ready, willing and able to inflict 5.56x45 Ammo Social Injustice on minority populations.


I know there are almost as many proud Black men and woman on the job, as there are Murphys, Fassanos, Balauskases and Stankiewiczes, and I know that they are not on vacation given the " I am sick of this!" violence form African American Super and his Hispalnic Deputy.  Are they all working the phones?  No sir, Mr. Bruce.  They are on the street putting their lives in hazzard for their neighbors. To suggest otherwise, is racist.  That could keep you off the list at City Club and WTTW.

In fact, the entire photo spread seems to indicate the same narrative worthy of George Lucas's White Storm Troopers from Star Wars - lighter shades of pale, G!


In fact, only less than literal handful of African American, or Hispanic police officers are in any way visible.

Bruce Dold.  The picture tells the story, don't it?

You seem to be telling the world a huge fib, Bruce.  Rahm Emanuel would not promote a notion that the systemic racism, crafted by Peoples Law Office Commisar G. Flint Taylor and force fed to social justice engineers in packing the pumps at the Sun Times and Chicago Tribune, is still out there boosting death by gun violence.

Or, would he and you?

Race Hate is everyone else's problem in the compelling narratives that boost the elites of the Chicago Oligarchy.  The oligarchs must divide the diversity in order to hold power.

That is some compelling narrative, Bruce.

This 4th of July, I'd Like to Add Chicago Friends of the Parks To Veterans and All 1st Responders as Heroes of Liberty!

       Recognize anyone from your neighborhood here?  Me neither. Grassroots, me broad manly arse.


This Fourth of July, I feel especially patriotic, because my faith in American values of commitment, courage and faith were strengthened by the victory of Friends of the Parks over oligarchs, bullies, grifters and smugly powerful people who have gotten their way, over and on everyone else,  for the last eight years.

Money, media control and mass messaging have made our city, county, state and nation too much of a banana republic.  Corporations count more than parishes and neighborhoods.

Have you noticed that in the past twenty years, the use of the word neighborhood has been almost entirely replaced by the preferred  Progressive term" community?"

Neighbors know one another and interact; communities coalesce.  Under the camouflage of the word 'diversity'  people become a a congealed mass of votes, nor a threatening mobs for a cause.

Diversity ( not real, actual diversity) is a template for the boilerplate leftist playbook, which keeps people busy shouting, threatening and hating one another, while a small group of sanctioned snobs amass unlimited power and unimaginable wealth.

This past week was very satisfying.  Neighbors won and the elites lost in the epic battle between Friends of the Parks and Mellody and George Lucas, Rahm Emanuel, Sanctioned real estate, bankers, construction, engineering, vendors and public relations players lost.

Neighbors raise families, work, pay taxes, watch out for one another, disagree on religion, politics, sports, lawn care methods, street lights time and alley bean bag.  Neighbors go to wakes, benefits for sick kids, buy raffle tickets, drive and run errands for older neighbors, bitch about property taxes, garbage grid, recycling mandates and Chicago's parking desert landscape filled with massive and unused bike lanes.

Neighbors are busy.  Some neighbors are financially better off than most of us and use their time, talents and treasure to make things better for their neighbors.

Friends of Parks were called gangsters by Chicago's most celebrated and unchallenged race baiting preachers, because some might live in Grant Park high rises.  Shucks, I know a widow woman who lives at 300 E, Randolph in a big old high rise and she drops $25,000 minimum to help young black men at Leo High School, just down east of St, Sabina, every year with out fail.  Community attached 501(c) 3 foundations like Woods Fund refused to toss us a nickle and that was when a young ambitious kid named Barack Obama was dining out on Check Please and wowing the tight-knit IVI Community.  That widow and many others were better neighbors, than any community activist and more black males became successful men because of neighbors.


Friends of Parks are neighbors and they went to bat for all of us, who have limited time, use or talents to put bread on the tables and watch our treasures disappear with increased utility bills, water, property, parking, consumer taxes levied upon us by Community People.

The Lucas Museum was supposed to be some kind of Narrative Arts Cornucopia - really a big ass digital junk closet for all of Star Wars cast-off stuff, like unused scripts, or snappy PC characters of the future.  The power couple with pals on the fifth floor of City Hall and the White House demanded that this site be stuck on the lakefront - imagine if George and Mellody were forced to allow me to store all of my old gym shoes, Leo High School sports wear, fishing gear, grade books going back to 1975, articles on Thackeray, James Shields Charles Chinquy , Bishop Shiel, and Packey McFarland, baseball caps from Bishop McNamara, La Lumiere School and Leo High School on their front lawn as a tribute to high school teachers.  The old gym shoes might give one a huge pause once the scent hit the old smeller.

Friends of Parks gave this gaggle of spoiled geese ( anyone like geese?  Biggest pains in the ass of all feathered friends and no friends of any park, or parking lot) a huge 'time out!'

Friends of the Park became Community Enemy Number One, after that cops, firemen and skilled tradesmen. The two minutes hate was extended.

Irizarry and Moltz, as they said repeatedly during the nearly two-year debate over the museum's location, reiterated the group was never opposed to Lucas' idea of a housing a collection of his digital and traditional art in Chicago. The issue, they said, was that the "Star Wars" creator insisted on selecting sites along the lakefront, public trust land they argued should be open and clear space.
"We feel it's really unfortunate," Moltz said. "Our issue was just that he wanted to put it on the lakefront. We're sorry he made the decision to leave rather than look at any of the other viable sites that would have been a win-win for the city."
So how will the Lucas Museum fight shape Friends' fortunes going forward? 

I hope Friend of the Parks signal victory over the oligarchs willget neighbors to appreciate one another and return to calling neighborhoods by the correct name. Neighbors live in high rises too.

Friends of the Park reminded me that Liberty is more than just a compelling narrative, a Sun Times hate campaign and boondoggle for grifters.

Happy Fourth of July! Thank you, Friends of the Park!  I mean neighbors!

End All of the Conspiracy Theories, Please. Just Grill Valerie Jarrett

If the Obama Administration did anything for the last eight years, and it did plenty and it ain't done, neighbors, it did so only with the sign off of Valerie Jarrett.

Valerie Jarrett is a shadow government and a slum lord millionaire who made piles of greenbacks, including some with Andy Jackson's soon to disappear portrait, when the Hyde Park Mafia goaded Richie Daley and the Feds to tear down the CHA high rises all over Chicagoland.

Allied with Progressive Poobahs and IVI consecrated real estate attorneys Judson Minor and Allison Davis, Valerie Jarrett constructed not only a bank vault stuffed with spondulices, but huge political power for herself.  Valerie Jarrett took young Barack Obama to church at Trinity United Church of Christ run by a daffy race hustler -Rev. Jeremiah Wright.  There he learned how Church and State operate real estate, banking, 501(c)3 boarded and looted by Leftist boards, the Chicago news media and politicians who can not look past their palms.

Valerie Jarrett was born into the whirlpool of cash, rhetorical and political back-stabbing that is the Progressive cookbook.  Hyde Park and the University of Chicago Social Justice crowd of educators and lawyers have been in close quarters combat with U of C's School of Economics, ever since Milton Friedman explained the difference between free market capitalism and pure stupidity.

Valerie Jarrett* operates the White House for President Barack H. Obama, freeing him to smirk, read group thought morsels from a teleprompter, wave, sing old Motown to fawning bootlickers, wow single digit I.Q.'s world wide, never have to exhaust himself with thought.

Not a single American journalist has asked, much less raised any question about Jarrett, much less the Office of Public Engagement Created for her, probably by David Axelrod, so she could make sure that President Obama remained in threatening distance to her.

Valerie Jarrett is frightening and has chase away

• Bill Daley
• Rahm Emanuel
• David Axelrod
• Leon Panetta
• Most of the United States Military Command and Control

If there is a troubling matter -

• Obama's Biography and college grades
• Fast and Furious
• Benghazi
• Desiree Rogers
• Beer Summit
• Throwing Granny Under the Bus
• Bill Ayers and the Annenbrg records at University of Illinois at Chicago
• Black Lives Mattter fealty
• ObamaCare
• Planned Parenthood fealty
• Magic Unemployment (numbers and jobs)
• Decimation of Military Leadership
• IRS
• VA
• Border Security
• Islamists getting a pass
• Illegal Immigration is hate speech
• War on Christians
• ERA
• NLRB
• Race Baiter in Chief
• Divider in Chief
• Fealty to Iran
• Office of Public Engagement

Most every detail, decision and deconstruction of the Constitution can be explained by asking for every document in the White House to and from Valerie Jarrett.

Frankly, Barack Obama has not a clue about what has happened from the Choom Gang to the present and could care less.

Forget Bubba and Hillary.  Forget Lorretta Lynch and Eric "Nation of Cowards" Holder.

Ask Valerie Jarrett.

Start with this - " What in the hell business does a privileged slum lord have occupying space and breathing air in the White House on our dime, anyway?
