These Black Lives Don’t Matter
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/67468058/Kids.0.jpg)
Actually one wasn’t black. But, six children under 10 were murdered in Chicago this summer. Some were playing outside with friends. Others were riding in a car with parents or watching TV at home.
There were no mass demonstrations to protest their deaths. None of the Bears will be wearing any of their names on helmets next Sunday. Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford won’t write an op-ed about them. The NFL won’t work to do anything to stop gang violence. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won’t be invoking their names. Nancy Pelosi won’t be taking a replacement knee for them. Mayor Beetlejuice couldn’t remember their names if her life depended on it.
8-year-old Dajore Wilson, killed Sept. 7 in Canaryville on the South Side. She would have been a second-grader at Dewey Elementary Academy of Fine Arts.
9-year-old Janari Ricks, killed July 31 in Cabrini-Green. He would have been a fourth-grader at Ruben Salazar Elementary Bilingual Center.
7-year-old Natalia Wallace, killed July 4 in Austin. She would have been a second-grader at Crown Community Academy of Fine Arts Center.
20-month-old Sincere Gaston, killed June 27 in Englewood.
10-year-old Lena Nunez Anaya, killed June 27 in Logan Square. She would have been a fifth-grader at Frederick Funston Elementary School.
3-year-old Mekhi James, killed June 20 in Austin.
They are all of our children.
Their innocent young lives were snuffed out and few seem to care other than their families, friends and Chicago Sun Times writer
Let us mourn the six children 10 years old or younger. Three were killed riding in cars with parents, two while playing outside, one in her own home when bullets found her.
What new words to write of Chicago gun violence?
Or a summer of horror that claimed six children no older than 10 years old?
Three were killed riding in a car with parents, executed by enemies gunning for the car owners.
Two were killed playing not far from the front doors of their homes.
One was inside her home. She was watching television when gang member bullets found her.
At the Chicago Public Schools they attended, we must acknowledge four virtual empty chairs.
The deaths of these six young children mark Chicago’s summer of horror as the sun sets on a killing season — Tuesday’s first day of fall spurring hope that colder weather might bring calmer streets.

As stated, I doubt Mayor Beetlejuice even remembers any of these children’s names.
10-year-old Lena Nunez Anaya was killed June 27 in Logan Square. Logan Square is on Chicago’s North Side. In fact, it’s Mayor Beetlejuice’s neighborhood. It’s a couple miles west of Wrigley Field and hardly what has been considered gang territory, which shows how out of control violence in Chicago has become.

No home internet until I get some problems solved with an off shore customer service department.
My daughter and I spent 2+ hours on the phone with them yesterday. Anything beyond unplug the modem and unscrew the coaxial cable is above their comprehension.

Not sure if the cops are done finding bodies.

2,
That is the number one reason that people hate the cable companies. Sad too. These gateway boxes they put in your home have enough horsepower to do scheduled self-test. Add $9 bucks for a LoRa board to send out an ‘phone home error’ msg. The system could care for itself and the cable company could fire even more employees which is always their first option when times are tough.

To borrow from Orwell…..
And remember the Democraps motto —
“Do it TO the kids, not FOR the kids.”

We got something called “ATT Fiber” a couple weeks ago.
It’s much faster than our old ComCast for about the same price.
ComCast used to have outages and slowdowns that lasted a couple of days.
So far the ATT is steady but most days at least one device will have a momentary dropped connection. Your Zoom meeting blanks and you have to click back in. Or your web page stops loading and you get a “No Internet” error msg pop-up. But it comes back fast.
Mrs NorCal is working from home and the high schooler is “distance learning” so we chewing up a lot of bandwidth these days. I think ATT slows you down after you consume 1000GB(?) each month (back to full speed for the next month). ComCast was just starting to charge if you went over a limit.
Not every household can get ATT Fiber, it requires installation of infrastructure in your city which ATT is gradually rolling out.
[7]
Back on topic: it IS puzzling how no journalist ever mounts a no-holds-barred assault on shooting deaths in Chicago. The national networks just treat it is “same old, same old”.

That’s why I saluted Maudlyne Ihejirika of the Chicago Sun Times.
Maybe the only “journalists” we can trust are those whose names we cannot pronounce.
Saw an ad on CBS yesterday about the debate coverage. It showed Norah O’Donnell and Gayle King with the words “Honest … Unbiased” I could have puked.
[10]
how incredibly sad
children, born & unborn are merely PAWNS to the Democrat Party. NO ONE recalls the name of a “pawn”,

BC,
That is a nice unit.
Jim,
I am in the same boat as you. I have 4 classes online and 6 meetings that chew up my Friday. I push a lot of bits even when I am not doing lectures, meetings, doing other stuff like grading, admin and research.

The media has found a $3.5 million payoff to Trump from Russia!
Oh, never mind, that was Hunter Biden.
The media has found that Trump spent gobs of cash on East European hookers!
Oh. Never mind. Hunter again.

I am at a disadvantage this year as the “Mighty MAC” won’t be playing.

It appears the Chicago Police found a couple more. The weekend count is up to 50 shot/8 killed.
Like votes, shooting victims get reported late in the Windy City.

I have a REAL CHANCE this year in the football picks!
I’m second from last today (thanks, Eph) but TLS is not playing. Wow, she had a super year last season.
[23]
JimNorCal #22 –
TLS and Hubby received the same email you did.I forgot that TLS changed her email address in March. Since her non-participation is my fault, she and her husband will receive credit for the same percentage of wins for last week as they get this week. If they have 85% of the games correct this week, they will get credit for 85% right last week.
To be fair I will offer the same deal to anyone who didn’t participate last week, even JR.

[34]
31,
Trump wins reelection he may very well have two more picks for SCOTUS. That would make him third in number of appointments after Washington and FDR. Washington in s\a since is a gimmie as he had to pick the first round for all of them. FDR in my view the same as he was a court packer.
[35]
19 – LMFAO.. and it’ll get as little play as the last 2 nominations.
27 – That fruit cake ain’t nothing but a bad joke, we all know tomorrow gonna be 2 on 1 operation.

Saturn V — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViNcBQ8cDA0 — Sound is good, but not quite right. You don’t get that pounding sensation in your chest from 2mi away. I stood across from Merritt Island when they lifted Apollo 8 off the ground, you felt it as much as heard it.
Sounds like a good road trip to take with the BJG TX folks to SpaceX when they fire off the SN8 for real.

Saturn had similar problems with its plastic bodies – they looked nice but were an environmental disaster. Bad form for a company that was woke long before woke was invented.

At least the Saturn line up looked ok. The Pontiac Aztec on the other hand…..

What happenend to Biden +13?
[46]
Six points is plenty if it’s in the right areas.
But I still have trouble following … if Trump won in ’16 and none of his voters have drifted away, then where is the Biden victory?
[47]
Jim,
My point is that polls were never +13 and they aint +6 now either.
[48]
https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2020/09/28/its-time-for-us-conservatives-to-riot-n2577020
Well past time I would say. Though my idea of rioting isn’t what you’re seeing on the tv atm, mine is more along the lines of the opening chapters of Term Limits by Vince Flynn only slightly less overt, but far more targets across the entire land.
45 – I don’t know, but if Biden is (in actuality not fake polls) even just running even in OH than this thing is over and done with and in the bag for him. Trump was consistently running +2 to +6 in 2016 in OH polling, and he ended up with something like +8. IA was like consistently T +4 to +7 and he ended up +10.

finally got our power back on yesterday afternoon!!!
Re. the “debate” tonight…what are the odds that Chris Wallace can be impartial??? I don’t believe he will be as bad as CNN and MSNBC, but I also think he will be tipping the scales every chance he gets.
I also wonder if the combination of shifting Biden’s Circadian Rhythms and massive doses of “medications” will allow Biden to appear lucid. The Trump campaign must know what they have been doing to Biden…I hope they have a strategy to unmask it.
[57]
The 270ToWin website map is interesting (KHs 49)
It shows MN as safe for Biden.
And it shows MI, WI and PA leaning Biden.
Finally it has NE as a toss up.
Those are all interesting, arguable assertions
[58]
“News the MSM won’t report: Bidens paid taxes on just $750,000 of $13.3-million in speaking fees and book royalties:”
As my lawyer has opined, ‘tax avoidance is a crime, tax deferral is an art form.’ I am really surprised that the Biden’s would actually use S corps. S is a pass thru vehicle to the individual and utilized more for limiting liability on endeavors. At their level one might expect a chapter C, since they can used retained earnings provisions to stash away cash. Would be interesting to see the details of how the accountants structured it all.
[59]

The one thing that poll (and others) demonstrate is that the Libertarians are the Democrats best friends. I’d be willing to bet that 80% of those voting Libertarian would vote Republican if the Libertarian wasn’t on the ballot. Democrats count on Libertarians in really close races.
As I’ve said to Wylie Coyote, you don’t have to be crazy to be a Libertarian, but it certainly helps.

“Sleepy Joe wants a pee breaks every 30 minutes.”
I guess if Trump came to the debate and handed Joe a package of Adult Depends he would lose votes for being insensitive.

84- I’ll have to check in with a fam member about that, got a feeling there will be push back with such. I know the gov initially wanted them doing long term food delivery services post july too, but that got pushed back against and NG ended and handed off that “mission”. They float passing off lots of insanity to the NG, thankfully more than half of the time they quickly get talked or maneuvered out of it. Using NG to plug what is a long held and self created nyc budget problem vs a doing a one-off thing isn’t going to fly I think, not like the state really has a budget for this either.
