WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama should nominate a replacement for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, and the Senate should consider the appointment, Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., announced on Monday, splitting from Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and GOP presidential contenders.

Kirk, facing a tough re-election bid this year, wrote in a Chicago Sun-Times op-ed posted online Monday that an Obama nominee deserves a hearing in the GOP-controlled Senate. That nominee should not “speak or act in the extreme,” he wrote.

I plan on contacting his office and letting him know that "Congratulations" for losing my vote this Fall. He really is not a Republican. I don't mean he is not a good enough Republican. He is NOT a Republican. While many in the Pres. field are being called "establishment" or Rinos. They are Republicans. He truly is a RINO - a Republican In Name Only. His vote for Planned Parenthood made me think I might not vote for him but this latest asinine remark made up my mind.

Mark Kirk has gotten an awful lot of mileage from that stroke. However, it doesn't make me forget his campaign lies about his military prowess and awards. Illinois's representatives in Congress are the extremes in mediocrity. The last representative who did anything for the state and the city went to jail, got out, and died. - Dan Rostenkowski.

This blog is about

This blog is non-monetized and uses photos and materials from other sources. It is in compliance with Fair Use Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Code. Music, videos and mugshots are for entertainment and disincentive purposes only. Any similarities or resemblances to people or pets, living, dead or imprisoned is just your imagination. Some stories are true, some are fictional while some of the stories are funny.

The theme of this blog has changed. We are now headed into a period of extreme political and economic troubles. We want to increase everyone's awareness and show them how to weather the storm. We are going to begin including articles and videos on prepping (food, water, shelter, medicine, self-defense,) basic economics and general SHTF lifestyle changes.

I am not going to be critical of 19th ward politicians. They tend to do the best job they can with very limited resources, and don't need to be beaten up. In fact, people should be helping them as they are among the last "normal" leaders in Illinois.

I am keeping the 19th Ward Chicago name because of the rich blog history going back to 2010 and because there is a ready-made base of similar-thinking readers. For now on, the 19th Ward of Chicago will be mainly a point of reference, an observation deck if you will. A place where allot of good-natured, normal-thinking people still live and can safely view the dysfunction overtaking America. Write whatever you want about whatever or whomever you want. Just keep it true and not vulgar.

At all times, we am going to comply with Blogspot's community standards. We have seen what happens when there is not such compliance.

We will never publish threats of physical violence or baseless attacks on people or institutions.
