West Coast, Messed Coast™ — Even Lefties Say Gavin Newsom's 'Make America California' Not a 'Winning Message'
While Joe Biden has been tripping over sandbags and slurring speeches, West Coast, Messed Coast™ Gov. Gavin Newsom is using duct tape, super glue, and reporters with special expertise in turd polishing to construct a story to tell Americans when Joe falls and can’t get back up in the 2024 presidential race. Newsom’s attempt is so facile and transparent that even the Lefty Politico noticed.

Race Based Affirmative Action is Illegal
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down affirmative action in college admissions, forcing institutions of higher education to look for new ways to achieve diverse student bodies.
The court’s conservative majority overturned admissions plans at Harvard and the University of North Carolina, the nation’s oldest private and public colleges, respectively.
Chief Justice John Roberts said that for too long universities have “concluded, wrongly, that the touchstone of an individual’s identity is not challenges bested, skills built, or lessons learned but the color of their skin. Our constitutional history does not tolerate that choice.”

Tucker Carlson Makes Chilling Prediction About 2024
In the latest episode of Tucker on Twitter, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson made a rather bold prediction about the 2024 election.
Carlson pointed out that the recently released WhatsApp messages from Hunter Biden to his Chinese business partner proved that Joe Biden was involved in (or at the very least knew about) Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling schemes. He called the messages a “smoking gun” that “would have been enough to cripple a normal president, would have been more than enough to keep a normal president from running for office again,” yet they had “virtually no effect on Joe Biden.” Why? Because the mainstream media relentlessly defends him from his scandals.
Coup!
The big news over the weekend was a coup launched against the Russian government by Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the Wagner private military group.
Prigozhin and a few thousand of his men crossed into Russia proper and surrounded a Russian military headquarters in the city of Rostov-on-Don.
From there, part of Prigozhin’s forces formed a convoy and set out for Moscow, about 675 miles away.
Russia deployed national guard forces around Moscow in preparation and reports indicate that seven Russian military aircraft, mostly helicopters, were shot down by Wagner forces as the convoy headed north. Between 20 and 30 Russian crewmen were reportedly killed.
But when the convoy was within 125 miles of Moscow, Prigozhin ordered the convoy to turn around and return to their bases in Russian-occupied Ukraine. The coup was over almost as quickly as it began.
What happened?

ACLU lawsuit: Chicago police target minorities for traffic stops
Fewer than 5% of some 600,000 stops net even a ticket; not even 1% result in arrest or seizure of drugs or guns.
By Andy Grimm
Jose Manuel Almanza Jr. is a 35-year-old Little Village community activist who is one of five minority Chicagoans listed as named plaintiffs in an ACLU lawsuit. According to the suit, Almanza has been stopped in his car a dozen times just since 2021. “They almost never say a reason, or maybe it’s something small, like a cracked tail light, and all they want to see is your driver’s license,” Almanza said. “It’s always this sense that we’re in the wrong because of where we live, we’re in the wrong because of what we look like.”
Black drivers in Chicago are four to seven times more likely to be pulled over by police than whites, while Latino drivers are stopped twice as often, according to a lawsuit filed this week by the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois claiming a racially biased pattern in how Chicago police enforce traffic laws.
Traffic stops on the city’s predominantly Black and Latino South and West sides, the lawsuit says, are typically for minor violations— or for no reason at all— and are a tool for officers to search and detain minority residents on the city’s West and South sides. The lawsuit comes less than a decade after CPD reached a settlement with the ACLU in a lawsuit over similarly disproportionate stops of minority pedestrians.

Lawsuit accuses Chicago cops of false arrest after murder charges dropped against mom, 14-year-old son in shooting at hot dog stand

“Everything I worked hard for has been tarnished,” Carlishia Hood said of her arrest at a news conference Tuesday at her attorney’s law office in Bronzeville.
The lawsuit claims Hood was falsely arrested and maliciously prosecuted, causing her to suffer emotional distress. It seeks more than $50,000 in damages.
The suit claims police sought charges against Hood “for which they knew there was no probable cause,” saying video footage of the shooting “completely exculpated Carlishia Hood.”

Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi is defending a cut to the property tax value of his home this year as his neighbors’ rose by big margins, by explaining it was other homeowners who had been getting a break for the last several years while he was paying more.
This year’s assessment of Kaegi’s $1 million home in Oak Park’s Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District marked a 5.3 percent drop in the value that property tax bills are based on compared to 2020, while nearby neighbors with similar homes had their properties’ assessed value increase by an average of 32 percent, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Prosecutors drop charges against mom, 14-year-old son in killing of man at hot dog stand
“In light of emerging evidence, today the Cook County state’s attorney’s office has moved to dismiss the charges against Carlisha Hood and her 14-year-old son,” the office said in a statement.
By Matthew Hendrickson

Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx speaks to the City Club of Chicago on April 25.
Citing “emerging evidence,” prosecutors have dropped murder charges against a woman and her 14-year-old son, less than a week after the woman was accused of ordering her son to kill a man who had punched her at a South Side hot dog stand.
Carlishia Hood, 35, had appeared in court last Thursday on charges of first-degree murder and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Judge Barbara Dawkins ordered Hood held on $3 million bail.
Hood’s next court date had been set for next month, but prosecutors scheduled a hearing for Monday where they announced they were dropping all charges. They later announced that murder chargers against the boy have also been dismissed.
“In light of emerging evidence, today the Cook County state’s attorney’s office has moved to dismiss the charges against Carlisha Hood and her 14-year-old son,” the office said in a statement.
“Based upon the facts, evidence and the law, we are unable to meet our burden of proof in the prosecution of these cases,” it added.
The office did not specify what new evidence led to their decision, but it comes after video surfaced over the weekend that appears to show Jeremy Brown, the man who was killed, punching Hood immediately before he was shot on June 18.
The video, widely distributed on social media, was apparently shot by a bystander and does not show the actual shooting. But the incident was also captured by high-definition surveillance cameras, officials said.
In presenting their case last week, prosecutors had noted that Brown, 32, punched Hood in the head at a Maxwell Street Express Sunday night at 11656 S. Halsted St. after the two got into an argument while waiting in line for food.
Hood texted her son and had him come into the restaurant as the argument turned physical, prosecutors said. The boy took out a gun and shot Brown in the back.
Brown ran from the store as Hood’s son allegedly continued to fire at him. The teen and his mother followed Brown into the parking lot, where she told her son to keep shooting Brown and to kill him, prosecutors said.
Hood was also accused of telling her son to then shoot Brown’s girlfriend, and of trying to take the gun from her son afterwards. The two left the scene and went home.
Prosecutors said Hood had a valid firearm owners identification card and a concealed carry permit. She had no previous criminal record.

Putin is responsible for this, because he has let a conflict continue for 16 months that should have ended in one week. But Putin wanted to avoid being labeled an aggressor and confined combat to the Russian Donbass. He got the label regardless, and created a situation of an ever-widening war that he has been fighting with a private military group who are tired of the no-win situation Putin has created by his pretense that it is a “limited military operation.”

James T. Weiss gets a victory in CPS school parking lawsuit a week after being convicted of bribing 2 legislators
A Cook County judge sided largely with Weiss and his partner in a parking company in ruling Friday that they owe far less money than CPS was seeking in a suit over paid parking on Chicago school lots.

James T. Weiss.
A Cook County judge has thrown out much of the breach-of-contract allegations in a lawsuit the Chicago Board of Education filed against a valet parking company co-owned by businessman James T. Weiss.
The court victory Friday in the civil case came a week after Weiss was convicted in federal court of bribing two Illinois legislators and lying to the FBI.
The lawsuit was filed three years ago by the Board of Education against Blk & Wht Valet, a company owned by Weiss and Iman Bambooyani, saying they were in breach of contract in their deal to use 10 school parking lots during off hours for paid parking. The company owed those schools more than $364,000, according to the suit.
But Judge Michael F. Otto sided largely with the parking company operators in ruling Friday that the company owes the schools only $26,208.
Otto found that Chicago Public Schools officials failed to give the company proper notice when they terminated the parking agreements at five schools, primarily around Wrigley Field.
The judge said school officials followed proper procedures in canceling the agreements at four other schools after Weiss’s company stopped paying for the right to use their lots for paid parking.
CPS is still seeking a trial regarding the lease for a 10th school, Alcott Elementary School in Lincoln Park.
A spokeswoman said CPS “is satisfied with the court’s ruling in its favor, which acknowledges that Blk & Wht Valet breached several contracts with the board” and “does not intend to appeal” the ruling against it on the other portions of the case.
But Ilia Usharovich, Weiss’s lawyer, said the ruling vindicates the parking company owners.
“There was no fraud, there was no theft or other issues,” Usharovich said. “And clearly the city breached the contracts deliberately and knowingly . . . In fact, it was Mr. Weiss and Bambooyani who decided to dismiss their counter-claims for breach of contract and told me not to counter-sue the board so that they can save money for the city and be kind despite the city breaching the contracts and terminating them improperly.”
Weiss — a son-in-law of Joseph Berrios, the former Cook County assessor who also formerly chaired the Cook County Democratic Party — was found guilty by a federal jury on June 15 of bribing then state-Rep. Luis Arroyo and then-state Sen. Terry Link to pass a law that would allow him to legally operate sweepstakes machines, which resemble video gambling machines.
The jury also found him guilty of lying to the FBI. He’s set to be sentenced Oct. 11.
RELATEDBusinessman James T. Weiss guilty of bribing 2 state lawmakers, lying to the FBI
Bambooyani, who once operated the Raw Bar north of Wrigley Field, was indicted last month on a federal charge that accuses him of transporting women across state lines who were then paid to have sex. He has pleaded not guilty.
CPS now leases school parking lots at more than a dozen schools to a company owned by a politically connected fundraiser for former Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
When Mr. Weiss gets out of prison in 7 or 9 years, he is going to be one rich MF, because he is so kind and you just can't keep a good man down. Weiss is a blood relative of one of Chicago's better South Side political families.

Hunter Biden settled his child support dispute with a 32-year-old Arkansas woman he met at a Washington, D.C., strip club and fathered a daughter with, a source close to the president’s son told The New York Post.
Lunden Roberts, the mother of Biden’s 4-year-old daughter Navy, agreed to have her child support payments cut from $20,000 following Biden’s deposition last week, the Post reported. The final terms of the settlement are still being determined, according to Roberts’ lawyer Clint Lancaster, who declined to confirm a report that his client agreed to $5,000 monthly payments.

A $6.8 million grant from private donors will fund new city monuments — including the long-promised “Chicago Torture Justice Memorial” on the South Side.
Mayor Brandon Johnson and other city officials spent part of Monday’s Juneteenth holiday at an event to announce the donation from the Mellon Foundation.
The memorial to survivors of torture at the hands of the Chicago Police Department will be dedicated to victims of former Cmdr. Jon Burge and his notorious “Midnight Crew” — who are believed to have coerced false confessions from more than 100 people, most of them Black men, between the 1970s and the 1990s.
