And he's not even going to run!

Mayor Rahm Emanuel has a way to go to match the record $24 million he raised to survive Chicago’s first mayoral run-off.
But, he’s getting there.
One week after dropping $1.6 million into his campaign fund, Emanuel deposited another $866,100.
That leaves him with nearly $4.7 million, running circles around a field of mayoral challengers that

WHAT THE AMERICAN EXPERIMENT COULD LOOK LIKE IF THE LEFT GETS THEIR WAY
By Charles Love -
It has become hip to bash America; a country founded on the greatest idea in history. The mistake many make in their critiques is focusing on the times we have come up short of that idea. There is no doubt that this has happened and there should always be attempts to improve; however, no matter how numerous those occurrences have been, it doesn’t change the important distinctions of liberty and individualism that separate us from the rest of the world.
This means that when we fall short, we don’t become worse than other countries, we move closer to being like them. Slavery is the most common example. It’s evident that slavery is evil. Those who point out America’s failures, point to this as proof. They’re
Is there a reason why the survivors were not charged?

| COOK COUNTY STATES ATTORNEY FOXX |
CHICAGO — A retired police officer shot and killed a man who tried to carjack him in Bridgeport earlier this week.
On Friday, two suspects believed to have been with the carjacker at the time of the attack were released from custody. The Cook County State's Attorney opted not to file charges in the case.
The carjacking happened just before 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the 2900 block of South Shields. A 20-year-old man tried to carjack a retired police officer. That officer, a 71-year-old man who lives in the neighborhood, shot the suspect once in the upper body, killing him.
The state's attorney's office did not respond to requests for comment.
I can't imagine how criminals that do this type of crime are not charged. Perhaps there is a legit reason. I want to hear it.

Rahm Emanuel, Richard M. Daley tensions boil over; Bill Daley defends brother and raises some valid points
“It’s unseemly to keep blaming the previous administration, which has been gone seven years," William Daley told the Chicago Sun-Times. "Come on. Put the big-boy pants on, and move on. It’s kind of sad." | Rich Hein / Sun-Times files
Long-simmering tensions between Mayor Rahm Emanuel and former Mayor Richard M. Daley boiled over on Friday, with William Daley rising to the defense of his older brother.
The final straw was Emanuel’s decision to blame his predecessor and political mentor Thursday for the avalanche of tax increases needed to solve Chicago’s $36 billion pension

Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Thursday blamed his predecessor and political mentor for the avalanche of tax increases needed to solve Chicago’s $36 billion pension crisis without uttering the name of former Mayor Richard M. Daley.
“I would love nothing else in my life if somebody else had done it. … The question isn’t what I did. Part of the question has to be what wasn’t done beforehand that required that action” the mayor said during a taping of the WLS-AM (890) Radio program, “Connected to Chicago,” to be broadcast at 7 p.m. Sunday.
“Had this been taken care of before, it would have been taken care of at a much cheaper price. People

Port Authority commissioner confronts police in N.J. traffic stop
A great example of police restraint.

Hey Chicagoans, where are you heard this story before?
Gun control, Baltimore style: 29 killings in past three weeks
Heckuva job mayor!
From Baltimore Sun: For a while, there was reason to hope. Twelve days without a killing in February. Declining street violence in March. Optimism around a new police commissioner. After a three-year spike in violent crime, a long and bloody siege that brought Baltimore international attention, the city seemed finally to be heading toward peace.
Then came April. Someone executed a mother and daughter inside their house. Stray gunfire killed a 65-year-old woman on her porch. A wanton shooter wounded a 69-year-old man outside his home.
Baltimore police counted 17 killings last month, but 29 within the past three weeks. For

Offensive and Inappropriate? Give me a break and grow some thicker skin

| easily offended advice: don't sweat the small stuff |
After the resolution was read by the clerk, Commissioner Frank Avila invited three men of Indian descent to join him at the podium, to recognize their contributions to Indian-American civic associations and businesses.

“You know,” Avila declared, “when I first came to the board, they all thought that I was Indian, and so, I can say, being the first Asian, being elected to the board, ha, ha, that I like to celebrate the Asian month with my colleagues.”
OPINION
Ha, ha. Frank Avila is not Indian. He is not Asian.
Avila is Mexican-American.
There was awkward laughter in the hearing room.
Commissioner Josina Morita didn’t think it was funny.
Morita, 37, is Chinese- and Japanese-American, and the first Asian to be elected to a countywide board.
Later in the meeting, she took the mic. “I want to be clear that I found it offensive and inappropriate for commissioner Avila to say that he was the first Asian American commissioner (because he was) mistaken for Asian American,” she said.
Josina Morita, commissioner for the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. | MWRD
“The Asian American community has fought for over 100 years for respect and representation in this country and in this county, and I don’t think that those comments are appropriate, even as a joke.”
When we talked by phone Thursday evening, Morita was still steamed. But it’s nothing new.
The urban planner and community organizer won her first election in 2016. On the campaign trail, she experienced “blatant” racism and sexism, she said. Comments about the slant of her eyes, a question about whether a private part of her anatomy “tasted Chinese.” And worse.
Chicago and Cook County are blessed with rich diversity. Asian Americans are one of the fastest growing racial groups in Illinois. Yet people of color and women continue to endure ignorance, disrespect and outright racism. If elected officials who supposedly hold power are disrespected by their peers, what can the rest of us expect?
Avila apologized. “I didn’t mean any harm when I made that statement,” he said.
Maybe Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle can help set him straight.
Last week, Preckwinkle was elected chair of the Cook County Democratic Party, becoming the first African-American and woman to hold the post.
Even more important than making history is her pledge.
It’s time to “reject politics-as-usual,” she declared last month when she announced her bid to lead the party.
“Our Democratic Party cannot and must not be a Good Old Boys Club. Women, working people, young people, and communities of color are leading the grass-roots resistance to Donald Trump’s dangerous agenda. It is past time that we had a party where their voices are truly heard, and their contributions are truly valued.”
The former Hyde Park alderman and two-term county board president is a longtime champion of diversity and inclusion.
In her new role, she must set a tone that demands respect and equity for women and people of color, and supports rising, diverse leaders like Morita.

#SexEdSitOut: Parents Say, ‘Enough’ to Planned Parenthood’s ‘Pornographic’ Sex Ed
Sexedsitout.com
by DR. SUSAN BERRY
Parents in cities across the U.S. as well as Canada, Australia, and now, the U.K. are pulling their children out of schools Monday to protest what they view as “pornographic,” “gender-bending” sex ed curricula conducted and promoted by taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood.
“A few of us moms were disgusted by the evidence we were seeing on social media of graphic sex ed in the schools and the stories about gender transition parties and teaching kids to question their gender,” Sex Ed Sit Out organizer Elizabeth Johnston – the “Activist Mommy” – tells Breitbart News. “So we decided to stop griping about it and actually do something about it.”The protest has taken off from Charlotte, North Carolina, to about 15 other cities, including Austin and San Antonio, Texas; Spokane, Washington; Garden Grove and Sacramento, California; Evansville, Bloomington, and Indianapolis, Indiana; Decorah, Iowa; and Martinsburg, West Virginia.
Internationally, protests are planned for London, Harrow, U.K.; Calgary, Alberta, Canada; Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; Victoria, British Columbia, Canada; and Mulgrave, Victoria, Australia:
