Sergeants Promoted

Here ya go (click for larger views):

 

We've reached the point in our lives where we only recognize a single name or two on the lists any more. We guess we have officially aged out of the Department. Not a horrible feeling, but an odd sense of detachment from something that was such a huge part of our lives for almost three decades.

 

Best of luck to the deserving.

PPP Loan "Progress"

This partly explains why IAD and other "oversight" agencies were slow-walking any release of information:

• Terry Hillard and Fred Waller both rose through the ranks of the Chicago Police Department all the way to the top.

  The sons of the former police superintendents have also joined the department, but their careers have been far less illustrious — and are now in jeopardy.

  Dana Hillard and Kendall Waller have both been sidelined pending investigations into allegations they broke the law.

  Dana Hillard has been accused of defrauding the federal Paycheck Protection Program that was intended to keep businesses afloat during the pandemic, records show. Kendall Waller faces allegations of domestic battery, breaking into a home and stealing a car.

Following a long and dubious tradition of bosses covering up for their entitled progeny.

It also provides clues as to why certain exempts have been allowed to retire with credentials while the Statute of Limitations ground toward expiration.  

See Ya Mike!

The court rules he can start serving his sentence while he appeals:

• A federal appeals court has rejected former Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan’s bid to remain free while challenging his historic corruption conviction, meaning the country’s longest-serving state House leader is almost certainly headed to prison this month.

  The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had appeared to be the 83-year-old’s last, best hope of remaining free. But the court denied Madigan’s request without explanation in an order Friday.

  It’s not clear where Madigan will serve his prison sentence, but his lawyers have asked that he be sent to a prison camp in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Any bets on a "medical emergency" in the coming days? We've heard that Federal prisons have mediocre medical facilities at best, although up until a number of months ago, we heard that they'd pay for your transition surgery. Darn that Trump! 

(we might have made that last part up - it was probably Fata$$'s IDOC doing the trans surgeries) 

What's the Running Tally?

From a few days ago:

• The Chicago Board of Education on Thursday unanimously approved a $2 million settlement with a former student who was groomed and sexually assaulted by a security guard at Paul L. Dunbar Career Academy in Bronzeville.

  The guard, Tywain Carter, is serving an eight-year prison sentence after pleading guilty in May 2023 to criminal sexual assault of a minor by a person in a supervisory position.

CPS has a way to go to catch up to the CPD settlement numbers, but they're higher than you've heard about because we're pretty sure the Board of Ed doesn't have to run their settlement numbers by the City Council. They just hide the teachers and staff who sexually abuse and assault students. 

The last numbers we saw were something like 300 or more "incidents" being handled and hidden from public view by the grooming factory.

Is CWB going to do the actual journalism Chicago media won't do, running total dollar amounts of CPS payouts? 

Ticketing Driverless Vehicles

Not in Illinois (yet), but no doubt that you'll see it in your lifetimes:

• Currently, driverless cars are operated in many cities across the US, with San Francisco, Austin, and Phoenix at the forefront of autonomous driving tech. Although robotaxis have been usually safe, with accident statistics showing that they're better than humans, they are still far from perfect. In some cases, they have been seen performing illegal or dangerous maneuvers that shocked fellow drivers.

  When such incidents had become widespread, police officers had to confront a bizarre situation. Even if they caught the robotaxis while misbehaving, they found no one to fine in the driver's seat. In a 2022 SFPD directive, officers were instructed that autonomous driving vehicles weren't exempt from traffic violations. However, the same directive underlined that "no citation for a moving violation can be issued if the AV is being operated in driverless mode."

  It appears the practice is still in effect, although new legislation has been passed to allow police officers to fine robotaxi companies instead. The bill also requires autonomous driving companies to set up an emergency phone line for first responders. However, the bill signed into law by California Governor Gavin Newsom in 2024 will not take effect until July 2026.

Personally, we can't wait for some of this:

• World's First Double Flying Car Crash 

A rehearsal before an airshow in China resulted in some injuries and a spectacular battery fire. 

Imagine a flying car car-jacking downtown resulting in a helicopter chase to the west side. The lawyers are going to have a field day.

Um...What Now?

Rumors all over yesterday's "FOP Shitshow" post, including this one:

• Interesting bit of info from an insider… Duckhorn, who was handpicked by Gorman to be on the 3 person panel to hear JCats charges not only recused himself from that role, HE RECUSED HIMSELF FROM HIS ELECTED TRUSTEE POSITION ALTOGETHER. This was in addition to last month’s board meeting where he abstained from voting on how deep to look into the finances.

  There’s gotta be a very good reason he’s walking away from the trough he’s been hitting for years at $800/month to do pretty much nothing. He was reportedly overheard stating something along the lines of “I had no choice, I’m too old to go to jail” in a sidebar discussion upon exiting (voices carry in that courtyard, Daddy Duck… learn to use your inside voice).

  FOP is slowing imploding and the rats are starting to jump ship to save themselves. We’ll have to wait to see exactly who all talked to whoever is doing the investigation. Funny how the old timers seem to be the ones most nervous (right, Rick King?) when they’re always the ones always talking smack about “fuck the Feds, you ain’t gotta tell them shit” etc etc.

Any verification? 

Has someone flipped?

What the Hell is going on over there?

Three Guesses

Another "no cash bail" success story:

• Two Colombian men accused of stealing thousands of dollars in cash from an ATM attendant’s car on the Northwest Side have disappeared after being released on electronic monitoring.

  On September 7, a 66-year-old ATM attendant parked his car in the 6600 block of North Oliphant in Edison Park and walked to a nearby restaurant and bar to service a cash machine. When he returned, he found his rear passenger-side window broken and a backpack containing $10,000 in cash missing, according to a Chicago police report. Surveillance video showed two men, one acting as a driver and the other breaking into the car, police said.

  [...] Both men were charged with burglary and with driving and vehicle registration violations. Because those charges are not detainable, Judge Susana Ortiz ordered them released on ankle monitors, according to court records. But those records show neither man showed up for court on September 22, and Judge Anthony Calabrese issued failure-to-appear warrants for both of them. They had not been located as of Tuesday night.

So....:

1. hiding locally?
2. ICE custody?
3. or Columbia?

Ten grand split two ways isn't going to get you that far. 

Booger Hook off the Bang Switch

Someone not being careful?

• Chicago police said no one was injured when an officer's gun unintentionally went off in a police station in the Near West Side Tuesday morning.

  CPD said that at about 11:40 a.m., an on-duty officer was handling a firearm at the 12th District station in the 1400 block of South Blue Island Avenue when the gun went off.

  The officer did not mean to fire his gun. No one was struck and no injuries were reported, CPD said.

Locker Room? 

Hallway by the gun lockers outside of lock-up? (does 012 even have a lock-up?)

Clothing snag? 

And how is Channel 2 getting this info? 

Name Change Update

It is refreshing (to say the least) to see the States Attorney's Office doing the correct thing on behalf of taxpayers in general, and law enforcement in particular:

• A woman’s effort to change her name after being found not guilty by reason of insanity of trying to kill a Chicago police officer has hit a roadblock. Court records show the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office filed an objection Wednesday to Whitley Temple’s name-change request, adding a new layer of drama to the unusual case.

  Temple was acquitted last year of attempting to murder Officer Ed Poppish during a bizarre 2022 West Side incident in which she, half-naked, ran over him with his own squad car. Temple then fled in the vehicle, stopped briefly at a gas station, and continued onto the Eisenhower Expressway, reaching speeds of 97 mph before crashing into multiple vehicles, prosecutors said.

Now let's see what the judge does.

Name the Exempt

Who's this idiot?

• video link here

Hey Larritorious, this is your command staff? 

How about Conduct Unbecoming?

And yes, we've seen the other one that is obviously A.I. of six female white shirts twerking in the Multi Purpose room at HQ. 

FOP Shitshow

Fun times at the Board Meeting last night.

Catanzara requested (demanded?) the Board hire a lawyer, but not just any lawyer - a lawyer with experience dealing with federal investigations. Now who would be under a federal investigation and why would the Lodge have to pay for that lawyer? Unless the Lodge itself was under investigation?

He also fired the First VP (Mette) from his Field Rep spot. As readers may or may not be aware, the Field Rep spots are filled at the direction of the president, meaning if an opposition candidate won a top seven spots that are traditionally also Field Reps (Pres, VP1, VP2, VP3, Recording Sec, Financial Sec or Treasurer) the President can (and has in past administrations) frozen out opponents to put lackeys in.

If we aren't mistaken, there was a By-Law proposal to lock in the top seven spots as Field Reps since members voted for them to be there, but it was shot down by either Nolan or Donahue so they could control who was detailed to the Lodge.

Mette is still First VP, but he'll be back at his regular assignment when the paperwork clears downtown. That's what happens when you're the one filing the charges against the president.

Strap in boys and girls - things are getting interesting, and not in a good way.

 

Border Patrol Making Arrests

But hey, Fata$$ and Conehead don't want federal help!

 

Someone better warn the feds to bring their own backup - 011 is one of the most backlogged Districts in the city starting at noon.

But this had us laughing out loud:

• Federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter onto the rooftops of Chicago residential buildings, launching a sweeping immigration enforcement operation targeting suspected Tren de Aragua gang members, according to NewsNation.

  The operation, led by ICE with support from the FBI and U.S. Border Patrol, was designed to apprehend high-priority targets connected to the Venezuelan crime syndicate that U.S. authorities have accused of trafficking, violence, and other cross-border crimes.

And according to CWB, aldercreature Ray Lopez voiced support for the raid:

• [Tren de Aragua]'s took over the building,” Lopez wrote, adding, “they will not be missed — except by @ChicagosMayor & the Leftinos!”

Fun times indeed.

Shutdown Truths

The latest democrat lie making the rounds is that no money is being spent on ILLEGAL ALIENS health care, that Trump is lying because ILLEGAL ALIENS aren't even eligible to participate in the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). 

That doesn't explain why they want a trillion dollars to fund assorted "subsidies" that they themselves put a sunset provision on years ago, but maybe this will explain it a little better:

• California - Medi-Cal is funded through a partnership between the state of California and the federal government, with the federal government covering about 50% of the costs ($10-to-12 BILLION dollars per year.) A quick Google search shows that ILLEGAL ALIENS can participate in Medi-Cal through this year with few previous restrictions, and future restrictions are merely "proposed" for next year;

• HealthChoice Illinois is funded through a combination of federal and state resources, primarily through Medicaid, which supports low-income individuals. 65% is Federal money. Can Undocumented Immigrants Get Medicaid in Illinois? Yes, undocumented immigrants can get Medicaid in Illinois. The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) offers two programs that provide health care coverage to ILLEGAL ALIENS;

• New York's Essential Plan (EP) is a low-cost health insurance program designed for residents who do not qualify for Medicaid or employer-sponsored insurance. It has been crucial in providing coverage to many, especially legal immigrants. The federal government historically covered about 95% of the costs for the Essential Plan through subsidies from the Affordable Care Act (ACA). In New York, undocumented immigrants may qualify for the Essential Plan, which offers low-cost health insurance for adults with low income who do not qualify for Medicaid. However, eligibility for the Essential Plan typically requires a valid visa or deferred action status....

The top three blue state shitholes take federal block grants and dish it out to ILLEGAL ALIENS, then claim since the feds don't fund it directly, those aren't federal dollars. The trouble is, when that money goes away, they'd have to gut their own budgets to maintain the levels of funding that would otherwise go to help actual taxpaying citizens.

We know most readers don't really care, but they should. Roads are crap, bridges are falling down, infrastructure is outdated and failing. We need massive upgrades in air traffic control, computer technology, and national defense improvements in light of what's happening in Ukraine. We can't do it importing third world leeches and catering to their needs.

Minor Consequences

The number of years this went on, just pointed to how broken the Department has been:

• A retired Chicago police officer accused of repeatedly filing false auto theft reports to avoid paying traffic fines has pleaded guilty and will serve probation, according to court records.

  Jeffrey Kriv, 56, pleaded guilty to a single count of theft before Judge Jennifer Coleman last week. In exchange, prosecutors dropped eight other felony counts, including multiple counts of perjury. Coleman ordered Kriv to pay $4,500 in restitution as part of the deal.

  Kriv, who retired from the department in January 2023, was accused of falsely reporting that his girlfriend had stolen his personal car on 44 separate occasions since 2009 to beat parking and automated traffic tickets. Prosecutors said he claimed during administrative hearings that his girlfriend had taken the vehicle each time the citations were issued. Officials alleged he submitted nearly identical false police reports to support his claims, which resulted in the dismissal of dozens of tickets. 

Forty-four separate reports of his car being stolen....and no one caught on? Multiple perjury charges, but allowed to plead to a single charge that results in probation.

Must be nice to be connected. 

Medical Section News

Is this a big deal?

We avoided the Medical Section like it was the plague, especially on the way out the door. But we did hear horror stories and there have been hints here and there in the comment sections, especially when it concerned the CPD and CFD trying to force obviously unwell Officers and Firefighters back onto the street.

We're all for rooting out the scammers - but they never seemed to catch any of those. 

Porkulous at it Again

He has no idea that video recording is a thing, right?

• Illinois Governor JB Pritzker says it is dangerous for the Trump administration to call the Democratic Party "fascist." "This is about sowing fear and intimidation and division among Americans."

Really? Roll the tapes!

• Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker claimed that he never called President Donald Trump and Republicans “Nazis,” but several tapes of the governor show he did indeed invoke the fascist regime.

  Pritzker denied during a Monday press conference that he had ever called Republicans “Nazis,” though he has compared Trump, tech billionaire Elon Musk and the Republican Party as a whole to Nazi Germany. The rhetoric from himself and many other political leaders has come into question following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk by an individual who subscribed to left-wing and transgender ideology.

  “No, I have not. That is completely false. I have never called Republicans Nazis. That’s what [Republicans] would like to say, they’re lying. They’re lying,” Pritzker said. “Well, that’s not what I called them.”

Or this from the reliably lib-tarded MSN:

• Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker claimed that he never called President Donald Trump and Republicans “Nazis,” but several tapes of the governor show he did indeed invoke the fascist regime.

They have a bunch of video links at their site.

What Fata$$ is probably fearful of is that he knows the rhetoric the left has been using for decades has been inspiring political violence from their followers for decades. And now that the right has been pushed to turn their favorite tactic against them, there's the risk (however small it may be) that an unhinged person on that side might ::ahem:: retaliate in kind at someone who makes the broad side of a barn look skinny and only moves quickly when headed for the buffet.... 

So he gets in front of the cameras and lies....so badly that even MSN won't provide cover.

Conehead Doubles Down

Proving again, he's just an asshole:

• Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago praised a woman who was convicted in the killing of a police officer during a 1973 traffic stop in a video posted to social media Monday.

  The Cuban government announced Thursday that Joanne Chesimard, also known as Assata Shakur, died in Havana. Johnson was asked about a post by the Chicago Teachers Union praising Shakur during a Monday press conference.

  “Assata Shakur is an important person in the black liberation movement who has repeatedly claimed her innocence,” Johnson claimed.

Most criminals claim innocence before, during and after their crimes. It's a ploy they use to influence people who don't have the capacity to impartially evaluate physical evidence and witness testimony....people who are mentally challenged or infirm...like Conehead and many members of the communist teachers' union. 

Asshola also ordered the execution of numerous black cops back in the 70's, but Conehead doesn't seem to mind that.

Hire That Felon!

This is from couple months ago, but it's a lawsuit?

• A new class action lawsuit alleges Walmart’s use of criminal background checks to vet former employees of a third-party logistics company had a disparate impact on Black workers.

  Plaintiffs Mark Balentine and Laseant Sardin, who are Black and have criminal records, say they worked for years at a Walmart distribution center in Elwood, Illinois, through a contract with Schneider Logistics.

  In 2019, Walmart ended its contract with Schneider and took over the distribution center, offering jobs to the Schneider employees who reapplied.

  Balentine and Sardin were initially offered positions with Walmart, but those offers were revoked after the company conducted criminal background checks, the Walmart discrimination lawsuit states.

  The plaintiffs say they were not hired because of their criminal records, even though they had been successfully performing the same jobs for years.

Well, it seems obvious that Walmart has different standards for their employees. Walmart has an obligation to it's shareholders to increase the value of the company and one of the ways they do that is eliminating a possible danger to the bottom line. They're not obligated to employ persons who have proven themselves untrustworthy in the past.

Before you know it people will expect the government to force religious bakers to make to conduct business with persons who the bakers think act immorally. 

Still Exporting Problems

Useless CPD exempts still infecting other jurisdictions:

• For those unfamiliar with Broadview Chief of Police Thomas Mills, he is a former CPD.

  Mills did not enjoy a good reputation in Chicago. In fact, he was described as "not the real police."

  We now know why.

  Mills is moaning about ICE agents at the Broadview ICE facility "verbally abusing" him.

  Mills is also complaining about the steps ICE has been forced to take to keep far-Left protesters at a distance from the facility. ICE has resorted to deploying non-lethal tear gas and pepper balls to disperse the protesters.

  Perhaps if Mills had his officers arresting the anti-ICE protesters who are obstructing federal agents, ICE agents wouldn't be forced to use pepper balls and tear gas.

And were the protestors also "verbally abusing" him or just ICE? 

Useless here and useless there.

Name Change on Tap

Crack addict and attempted murderer headed to court next week to change her name in an effort to conceal her criminal past from future employers:

• Whitley Temple is going on zoom Oct 6 to get her name changed to "Kendall"

Not sure if the States Attorney's Office is still tossing up roadblocks to prevent this. We think Prickwrinkle is still trying to line up a job for this drug abuser.

How Does This Happen?

Stuff like this:

• A 16-time convicted violent felon is back behind bars after prosecutors said he launched a brutal, unprovoked hammer attack on a senior citizen in Auburn Gresham this summer. Prosecutors say Frank Barker, 58, of South Holland, ambushed a 69-year-old man who was unloading groceries outside his home in the 8300 block of South Green Street around 1:48 p.m. on August 20.

Sixteen time convicted? 

Or this:

• A man who once served a lengthy prison sentence for attempted murder is back in court, this time facing full-blown first-degree murder charges tied to a July 2023 murder in Back of the Yards. Prosecutors say 40-year-old Max Hernandez was the getaway driver for two gunmen who killed 24-year-old Leonardo Martinez and critically injured his 25-year-old brother on July 4, 2023. Hernandez was arrested recently at the Pinckneyville Correctional Center, where he was being paroled on a separate gun case filed just weeks after the Independence Day slaying.

Gee, a parolee committing more crime? 

Or this:

• A West Side man who lured four men to his home and robbed them while he was supposed to be confined by an ankle monitor for a pending machine gun possession case has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. Christopher Anderson, 22, admitted in court that he used Instagram to set up meetings with the victims, who came to his home in the 400 block of South Laramie last winter.

Committing crimes while on an ankle monitor? 

Or even this:

• On September 14, deputies stopped a man in River North for driving with an expired registration. They ended up arresting the driver, 40-year-old Terrell Washington, who served a 16-year sentence for murder in 2004. Why? Because, according to the sheriff’s office, he had a loaded handgun in the car. Judge Antara Rivera ordered him detained.

A murderer with a gun? How does that happen? And stopped for an expired tag? That's about to go by the wayside if the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability (CCPSA) gets their way by outlawing traffic stops for compliance violations - violations that will get you suspended for three days if the Inspection Division catches you dirty.

It's almost like criminals have no fear of the justice system....possibly because there aren't (and haven't) been any significant consequences for years. 

Playoffs?

For the first time in nearly a decade, there is October baseball in town.

For the first time in recent memory, we're available to turn over cars, light things on fire, and loot stores. We sure missed a lot of fun being on one side of the "celebrations" during the Bulls, Sox, Blackhawk and Cubs championship years. We feel the need to make up for lost opportunities.

Does anyone know if O'Neill Burke is really really serious about prosecuting those types of crimes? 

Asking for a friend. 

Great News - Still Un-Salvageable

Remember these idiots?

They're all fired:

• The FBI has fired agents who were photographed kneeling during Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, the Associated Press reported late Friday. 

  Two sources told the AP that around 20 agents were fired, with an additional source confirming the firings. 

  The sources also revealed that the agents had been reassigned last spring for their conduct during the protests.

Numerous insiders point to this moment in time as the point at which the feebs became irreversibly politicized, more resembling the East German Stasi secret police than an even handed, non-political law enforcement agency.

Those who know history can put the moment in time much farther back, but it was better concealed behind a veneer of impartiality.

Unfortunately, this also came out the other day:

• The FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, an operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI's rank-and-file that the bureau had lost its core competencies to "wokeness" and allowed its employees to become “pawns in a political war,” according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four years.

  Scores of FBI agents and personnel – many from the bureau’s premier Washington field office (WFO) – sent anonymous complaints to the after-action team detailing how agents were sent into an unsafe scenario without proper safety equipment or the ability to identify themselves readily as armed officers to other police agencies, the report obtained by Just the News shows.

  The most persistent complaint was that the bureau during the James Comey and Chris Wray era had become infected with political biases and liberal ideology that treated the protesters from the summer 2020 Black Lives Matter riots far differently than those arrested in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 episode.

"more than....250" was actually 274 agents, many not sent as observers or law enforcement officials, but as provocateurs and instigators. And after accountability is determined and blame affixed, the feebs still need to be disbanded....or worse, put under a Consent Decree.

Here's a Helluva Rumor

The best rumors have at least a hint of what sounds like the truth in them....and this one has a bunch of stuff that sounds truthful:

• Last week at HQ was like the hunger games when it comes to these budget cuts and infighting among the chiefs. So far these are some measures they want to take to boost manpower and save some money since hiring will be slowed as will promotions:
• Mounted unit very well will be gone.
• K9s will be lowered by attrition, since it’s testable, you can’t get rid of them, but promotions and retirements will not be filled. Existing handlers on the streets will fill any vacancies for bomb dogs in the future at the airports. Street K9 handlers will eventually be phased out.
• Tac teams will only have 3 teams of 1 Sgt and 8 officers for each, no more 10 teams and no more extra 06, 64 or 65 teams etc.
• only 4 DCO officers per district who will report to the caps Sgt. No more DCO sgt.
• No more SDSC sgt, the watch commander on the watches will handle those personnel.
• CIRT won’t change,
• narcotics to lose 2 Sgts and 16 POs and gang investigations to lose 1 Sgt and 10 POs. Vice to be depleted to almost nothing. Intel will be reduced to 2 task force teams and that’s it.
• CAS team to lose officers back to patrol. No more abandoned building officers, any complaints will go from caps direct to TBU who will address any building troubles.
• Vehicle budget to be slashed by 25 percent. Tact vehicles that won’t be used now because of the cuts in personnel will go to any other unmarked needs like BCT or the detective division. Only marked cars to be purchased in 2026 except for exempt vehicles.
• Overtime will be gutted. Overtime budget getting cit from 100 million to 60 million which is only 5 million per month for the entire department. Normally, we are 16-22 million per month as a department.
• Court section will have no more full duty officers, it will all be covered by light duty POs and Sgts. HQ is trying to find 40 officers to take out of HQ back to the districts that can be filled by light duty or callback personnel.
• Academy has to find 30-40 officers to send back to districts.
• Robbery and carjacking task forces are losing 1 team each and the detective division has to find 20 POs who are NOT detectives to go back to patrol. Detective admin spots will be filled by light duty people if available.
• There will be a major shuffle of light duty and callback officers coming to fill full duty admin spots including in the districts as watch secretaries and SDSC spots.
• Even with all those cuts they are talking about, we’re still doomed.

Now THAT is a rumor worth discussing. In fact....in....wait a minute....wait....seriously?

This actually sounds like stuff that we've been suggesting and that our readers have been commenting on for twenty f#$%ing years already. 

Like Mother, Like Daughter

Have you ever written or received a Personal Service Citation, a.k.a. a "Mover"?

For the non-Law Enforcement readers, there are many types of Movers....some classified as "hazardous" like running stop lights or speeding. Others are "non-hazardous" like no front plate or other compliance violations.

Some are mail-in violations where the Officer gives you an instruction sheet and an envelope to mail in your plea. You can plead Guilty and pay the fine or perhaps take Traffic School. Or you can plead Not Guilty and ask for an appearance before a judge. 

Or you can blow it all off, have your license suspended, get a Bench Warrant issued and end up arrested at some point.

Unless you're Crimesha Foxxx's daughter. Then you can miss Court Dates in Room CL07 on....

• 15 July, 
• 20 August and 
• 26 September

....and still not have a Bench Warrant issued. There may have been a "30-day pending notice of continuation/ pending suspension" on file, but that was from the 20 August date - FORTY days ago.

These appear to have been compliance violations. Count One was no stop lights (meaning brake lights?) and Count Two was No Valid Registration.

These are simple fixes. You show up in court with a receipt from the a reputable (or disreputable) mechanic showing Issue #1 was fixed and you bring in a piece of paper showing the car is properly registered to a fixed abode for Issue #2 and guess what? 

• the judge usually dismisses the charges! 

In fact, in Cook County, we will almost guarantee that if Crimesha made a simple phone call on the court date, the judge would probably meet daughter in the hallway, dismiss the case out there and ask for an autograph or whatever politically connected bullshit goes on when the political class needs favors.

But the Court File shows she hasn't even bothered to mail anything in or appear in court. Just some more casual disrespect to the Courts from the Foxxx family. Must be nice to know there are no consequences for your actions - pretty much a summary of Crimesha's entire career.

Picture Time!

We get these every so often and share them when we need some laughs:

And here's one (no idea how old it may be) but it's something that usually gets zero coverage because the "law enforcement is a sickness" according to mayor racist the dumbass:

Clear and warm weather all week - might be the last chance for a run at 400....but probably not.

Weapon Free Vehicle?

What is this crap?

 

Please tell us this is something that Motor Maintenance slaps on the side of a car when they're road testing it after duct taping the frame together?

Why would you advertise this? 

UPDATE: Training Academy - okay, that makes sense. Back in the day, we had those blue or red plastic guns, went through a "weapon check" and followed procedures. Thanks for the clarification.

These Aldermorons

As usual, the demand for racism far outstrips the supply, so these assholes have to make some up:

• Four alderpersons voted against a resolution offering Black Chicagoans an apology for America’s enslavement of their ancestors, producing a racially charged clash within the City Council and a final roll call that one supporter called “appalling.”

  Alds. Raymond Lopez (15th), Nick Sposato (38th), Anthony Napolitano (41st) and James Gardiner (45th) sparked outrage from some of their colleagues for refusing to endorse the resolution, which ultimately passed.

  The measure sponsored by 4th Ward Ald. Lamont Robinson issued a formal apology from the City Council “to the Black citizens of Chicago for the historical injustices of slavery, segregation, systemic racism and the policies that have perpetuated racial inequality.”

  It overwhelmingly passed 43-4, but not without fireworks at a marathon Council meeting Thursday.

Fireworks over what? Performative, generated outrage?

• no one alive today was ever a slave (with the tiny exception of those in assorted islamic shitholes);
• no one alive today ever owned a slave (again, with the previously noted exceptions);
• Illinois contributed mightily to the Union side in the Civil War to the cost of tens of thousands of lives;
• Illinois was a destination point for the underground railroad, freeing thousands of slaves;

Can people feel bad about it? We guess, but at that point in history, our entire ancestry was busy in Crimea, the Second Schleswig War, the Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War before the survivors wised up, packed it in and headed west to the New World. They didn't own any slaves, participated in no slave-holding and escaped what was essentially a slavery of endless war.

Apologies like the one in the City Council inevitably lead to demands for compensation, which is a complete non-starter. Besides, isn't Chicago trying to fill a budget gap? Couple hundred millions dollars worth? Did the dumbass alder-idiots make any progress on that front?

"Peace" = Violent

Why are the "peacekeepers" so....violent?

• A video circulating online this week showing Chicago police arresting two men, including one who took a swing at a cop on camera, has an interesting and increasingly familiar twist: the guy who took the swing identified himself at the scene as one of the city’s “peacekeepers.”

  According to CPD, it all started when cops saw 30-year-old Douglass Simmons driving a stolen Hyundai Santa Fe without a front license plate and tried to pull him over near the intersection of Campbell and Jackson at 1:10 p.m. Monday.

  Simmons allegedly bailed out of the car and ran. But the cops caught up with him and that’s when the peacekeeper, wearing a red shirt with a large “V” on the back, stepped in.

CWB has video footage at the link up top. They also have links to a number of other felony arrests of "peacekeepers."

Someone said that this particular "peacekeeper," Chester Alexander 30, has an extensive criminal history along with a very interesting family tree, being related to some high ranking and very active gang leaders.

And he's being paid taxpayer money via Conehead's people. 

F#$% the CTU

High praise for a convicted cop killer?

• The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) mourned the death of a convicted murderer on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists list in an X post Friday.

  "Rest in [Piss], Rest in [Shit], Assata Shakur," the CTU’s post read. "Today we honor the life and legacy of a revolutionary fighter, a fierce writer, a revered elder of Black liberation, and a leader of freedom whose spirit continues to live in our struggle.

  The post added, "Assata refused to be silenced. She taught us that ‘It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.'"

What a hero - couldn't even work within the system or accept the consequences of her actions. Ran away like a pussy coward to a foreign country and hid for decades. 

It's past time to destroy the CTU, once and for all. Pass a law in Springfield that they can't hold kids hostage and strike. And start outing the politicians who have accepted bribe money from the CTU that is supporting a cop killer....make them answer for their tacit support of these terrorists.

And every cop that's married to a teacher ought to tell the spouse to drop out of that union that is supporting making them all widows/widowers. 

Sparklefart Connection

Sometimes, reality is just too....unreal:

• Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested the Superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools, Ian Andre Roberts, a criminal illegal alien from Guyana, on Thursday. 

  Roberts, head of the largest public school district in the state, was in possession of a loaded handgun, $3,000 in cash, and a fixed blade hunting knife at the time of his arrest, according to a statement from ICE. 

  He entered the U.S. in 1999 on a student visa and in May of 2024, was given a final order of removal by an immigration judge. He also had existing weapon possession charges from 2020. 

This shows how broken the system is:

• supposedly earned a doctorate here;
• overstayed his student visa;
• still got hired for a job;
• previous weapon violation (for a gun illegals supposedly can't get) - not deported;
• promoted to the head of the largest school District in Iowa at nearly $300K a year;
• final deportation order over a year ago - not deported;
• caught after a car chase and foot pursuit with another gun, cash and a knife;

Will be deported now, but it gets even better: The head of the Des Moines Public School Board that hired this ILLEGAL ALIEN for $300K despite no citizenship, gun charges and a deportation order?

• Jackie Norris - former Chief of Staff to Mrs Sparklefarts

She's running for US Senate now, no doubt to import more ILLEGAL ALIENS to run American school systems for hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars a year.

FOP, We Have a Problem

This was forwarded to us by a couple of people. 

It seems the State Lodge also filed charges against their First VP (who happens to be the current president of Lodge 7) for pocketing campaign funds and threatening to withhold the State Lodge share of dues monies from the Lodge 7 collections.

John is taking a "voluntary leave of absence" from the State Lodge First VP spot and the State Lodge has withdrawn the charges temporarily....and for a very particular reason. Read it here (click for larger view):

Read that sentence at the end of the first paragraph:

• "....ongoing investigations of alleged misconduct by outside law enforcement authorities."

We don't know about you, but that screams "feds" to us.

Not only that, but we're told that State Lodge officials have been meeting with and providing statements to "outside law enforcement authorities." 

Something just went sideways.

Skynet Laughs

Big Brother is always watching:

• In a sign of things to come as law enforcement tools evolve with the times, a Chicago police drone team is being credited with tracking down a man who allegedly fired shots outside Soldier Field this month.

  It happened just after 5 p.m. on September 14 when police received reports of gunfire near 18th Street and Lake Shore Drive, according to a CPD report. Officers responded in patrol cars, as they always do. But this time they had a little high-tech backup: a police drone unit was patrolling the area from above.

  As officers searching the area heard more shots fired, the drone operators reported seeing a man holding a gun on the west side of Soldier Field, the report said.

So how long have they been operating? What are the limitations on pursuits? What is the range of the drone? Or drones?

And most importantly, what are the qualifications and necessary phone calls to get assigned to the Drone Unit? 

How Ironic

Mere days after we reminded everyone about the recently-promoted worthless piece-of-shit who changed her name to that of a convicted cop killer, guess who died in Cuba?

• Cuban officials on Friday said that Joanne Chesimard, who was convicted of killing a New Jersey state trooper, has died in Havana decades after breaking out of prison and escaping to the communist island.

  Cuba's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Chesimard, who was born JoAnne Deborah Byron and was also known as Assata Olugbala Shakur, passed away after living there for years under asylum granted by the Cuban government.

So rot in piss Assata.

Rumor is that Chicago OoogaBooga will be changing her name to Georgina Floyd in an effort to stay relevant. 

Seems Like a Great Idea!

We're being sarcastic:

• The maximum age for a starting Chicago police officer or firefighter would rise from 40 to 55 under a controversial proposal to bolster hiring that was dismissed by union leaders as impractical.

  Ald. Gilbert Villegas (36th), chair of the City’s Council’s Committee on Economic and Capital Development, acknowledged that policing and firefighting are, for the most part, a young person’s game.

  But in pushing the proposal, he argues there are still plenty of jobs, particularly in policing, that could be performed by rookies in their 50s.

Seriously?

• “When you talk about Lollapalooza, you’re not dealing with gangbangers and drug dealers,” Villegas said. “There’ll be occasional fights that break out, but it’s not like you’re going into a gang-infested area or trying to break up a drug deal.”

  “Crowds go there to have fun. Alcohol can be the fuel that starts something,” Villegas added. “But controlling rowdy crowds is something definitely a senior police officer could handle. That would allow younger police officers to get into these busy districts where crime is occurring and handle those.”

And a young, twenty-something (fueled by alcohol and assorted designer drugs) running up against a senior citizen (with all the usual wear-and-tear on an old body) is a recipe for disaster.

Not to mention that the kids will have a bunch more seniority on the seniors and therefore, will be bidding off the undesirable watches and out of the crappy districts far quicker than a senior citizen will be able to.

This is just dumb. 

Maybe hire senior citizens for the house mouse jobs and get able-bodied armed secretaries out on the street for the jobs they were hired to do?

What's with This Scandal?

Stupidity abounds suddenly - gun running and now this:

• 005th district officer caught switching labels at Walmart while off duty... security calls on him, confronts him. Fight breaks out and he's got a gun on him, call comes out as person with a gun. he's chased by 005 officers who get him in custody. Security says he does it often and want to sign complaints. Once they find out he's police they change their minds.

Unfortunately for him, by the time security decided to decline to sign the complaints, we're told the Lieutenant and a Captain showed up on scene.

Wonder how much farther they'll be lowering hiring standards in light of the manpower shortages. 

Border Patrol Navy Hits Town

We guess Cheeseheads swimming into town?

• The United States Border Patrol will add four marine patrol vessels to augment President Trump’s Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago. The addition of the patrol boats will allow the agency to access inland areas along the Chicago River from Lake Michigan.

  According to the Border Patrol, the move will bolster the effort to apprehend the “worst of the worst” by allowing Border Patrol access to key transit areas within the Chicago River waterway. The deployment will provide support to other federal agencies assisting in the Midway Blitz immigration enforcement operation. The three patrol vessels will increase border security by allowing quick access to respond as needed to multiple areas within the city.

  Breitbart Texas spoke to Border Patrol’s El Centro Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gregory K. Bovino, who is currently on the ground in Chicago, about the augmentation. Bovino, who also commands CBP’s contingent of agents involved in California’s Operation At Large Immigration Enforcement Operation, says the move will improve his agency’s ability to move swiftly along the waterways of Chicago and respond to threats as they occur.

Then they dared to report actual support for the CBP efforts:

• Bovino told Breitbart Texas he has conducted informal outreach with community members in Chicago and is pleasantly surprised by the reactions he is receiving. “I am speaking to residents in and around the downtown area, and I am receiving excellent feedback. Residents are happy to see us in the area, and many have expressed frustration that we didn’t get here sooner,” Bovino says.

Did anyone catch the interview Chuy Garcia gave after the shooting in Franklin Park? That ICE had "killed one of my constituents"? Is Chuy admitting he represents ILLEGAL ALIENS and that they voted for him? That would seem to violate any number of Federal laws.

Are Taxpayers Due a Refund?

Hahaha.....just kidding:

• After growing slightly for two years mostly due to an influx of migrant students, Chicago Public Schools’ enrollment dropped significantly this school year, continuing a long-term slide.

  As of Sept. 15, the 20th day of school, CPS had about 316,000 students, down by about 3%. The percentage of Latino students in CPS dropped, from 47.3% to 46.4%, while the percentage for other groups rose or remained the same.

  “Enrollment decreased across the majority of grade levels and most student groups, including [students] identifying as Black, Latinx, economically disadvantaged, English language learners and students in temporary living situations,” Interim CPS CEO/Supt. Macquline King said at Thursday’s board meeting.

We're also told reading and math scores dropped. 

So less students and less accomplishments.

QUICK! Better raise property taxes. Gotta keep all the underutilized schools open, wasting money.

Gun Running? Seriously?

Who thinks they can get away with this shit nowadays?

• Federal prosecutors are accusing a Chicago cop of using his status as a law enforcement officer to buy guns for an accomplice who funneled them to Mexico.

  In a newly unsealed indictment, a grand jury charges Officer Kevin Rodriguez and his co-defendant, Diego Valdez, with running an illegal gun pipeline between September and December 2024.

  Prosecutors say Rodriguez abused his position as a cop to acquire AR-style rifles and pistols not available to private citizens under Illinois law.

  The indictment alleges Rodriguez used his CPD credentials to buy restricted weapons in Illinois and Indiana, then falsely claimed on federal paperwork that he was the “actual buyer.” Investigators say Valdez was the real customer.

  He allegedly transferred thousands of dollars to Rodriguez via Zelle for the purchases, then smuggled the guns to Mexico.

Well, that'll be multiple federal charges all backed up by electronic money transfer records, probably twenty years minimum, maybe thirty.

According to his base salary, he's at Step 6, meaning over fifty-four months but under ten years. Old enough to know better.

 Hope it was worth it, asshat. 

About Damn Time

Former fbi director James Comey is going to be indicted shortly. 

Finally.

Years after lying to Congress, and without the shield of an auto-pen pardon. 

Hopefully the first of many. 

More Leftist Violence

We suppose this is one way to get rid of ILLEGAL ALIENS:

• A sniper who killed two migrants and wounded several others in a shooting at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility has been identified as Joshua Jahn, 29, the Daily Mail can reveal. 

  The bloodbath unfolded at the facility in the Texas city shortly after 7am CT Wednesday morning, when the gunman targeted migrants on an unmarked transport van before killing himself. Multiple law enforcement sources named Jahn as the shooter who opened fire from the rooftop of a building adjacent to the ICE detention center. 

  Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told CNN that the death toll stood at two as of Wednesday afternoon. A third victim was in serious condition. The victims were ICE detainees, and no law enforcement were injured in the shooting.

  Officials said at a press conference on Wednesday morning that bullets found by the shooter's body were engraved with 'anti-ICE messages', and FBI Director Kash Patel shared an image of the bullets reading: 'Anti-ICE.' 

As usual, the initial reporting by the lame stream propaganda outlets claimed that since ILLEGAL ALIENS got shot, it must be a right winger - until photographs of the messages etched on the bullets were released AND the shooters brother told everyone his murderer brother had almost no rifle skills and was a horrible shot.

Just more examples of leftie, progressive, commie, tranny violence.

Other Fallout

We missed this part of the "sickness" story:

• Members of Chicago's law enforcement community are taking offense with a comment made by Mayor Brandon Johnson, after he said this week, in part, "jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness."

  The comment sparked outrage online and in the Cook County State's Attorney's office.

  Cook County State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke said she was deeply offended by the statement.

That was unusual to say the least:

• The "law enforcement is a sickness" comment drew outrage in some conservative and pro-police circles on social media — even prompting O'Neill Burke to voice her own outrage during an interview on a different topic.

  "The statement was disappointing and disheartening. We are part of law enforcement. The State's Attorney's office is the prosecution arm, and that is clearly law enforcement," she said. "I have 1,300 people who work in this office, who are dedicated public servants, who get up every single day to make sure that they keep women safe from domestic violence, to make sure that we are doing our jobs in protecting children from being sex trafficked, to make sure that we are prosecuting murder cases. What we do every day does not call for our eradication."

Wow. We thought that type of support from the States Attorney's Office was a thing of the past. And every time we're reminded that someone other than that talent-less, root-beer-smelling, husband-beating, DEI, crooked witch isn't in office, it's a welcome surprise.

Massive Scandal Admitted

Remember how the blog disappeared a while back after one of our regular informants alerted us to the fact that Google (which runs Blogspot) was going to circumvent our security efforts as part of a coordinated effort to deplatform conservative voices?

Turns out to have been 100% true:

• Google on Tuesday promised to restore YouTube accounts that have been banned for political speech, admitting that the Biden administration pressured it to censor Americans that did not violate the company’s terms of service, in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH).

  “Reflecting the Company’s commitment to free expression, YouTube will provide an opportunity for all creators to rejoin the platform if the company terminated their channels for repeated violations of COVID-19 and elections integrity policies that are no longer in effect,” a lawyer representing Google wrote to Jordan.

Funny how all the threats of fascism and censorship are claimed to be right-wing ideas, but always end up being launched and landed by the left. Unfortunately, we don't see any sort of remedy from the inevitable class-action lawsuits forthcoming.

And when they can't win via open dialogue, they always turns to violence.
