ODDS & ENDS

 Let's start off with news from the dirt bag department:

The 3 degenerate hillbillies who hunted down AHMAUD ARBERY will have their fates sealed today in federal court *****and as I'm typing this****** TRAVIS McMICHAEL was sentenced to life in prison PLUS ten years. The extra ten is to make sure he never gets out of prison because that sentence doesn't begin until the life sentence ends. See what the judge did there?😁 Although the federal time is largely symbolic, it slams the door permanently on the killers because all have been previously sentenced to life without parole in state court.

Now poor Mr. McMichael is concerned for his health if he goes to a state prison because he feels the local populace will kill him so he has petitioned the courts to serve his sentence in federal prison but his problem is the state of Georgia tried him first so they have "dibs" plus the administrator of the state prison has already stated that they are well equipped to handle a prisoner of such notoriety. Talk about hearing things that go bump in the night.....for the rest of your life.😟  

                                                            *******

Continuing in the dirt bag department, convicted pedophile R. KELLY gets his day in Chicago court starting on the 15th for numerous sexual offenses. After Chicago, he heads to Minnesota for even more charges. When is enough enough? Never if the prosecutors all want a pound of flesh to appease the victims and their families. At 55, Kelly is also doomed to a life behind bars. Good riddance.😄

I know that I've been harping about your safety in Chicago but did you see the recent crime stats regarding the CTA and also carjackings? HIGHEST CTA VIOLENT CRIMES in 10 years!! In the past week, a rider was accosted by SIX ghetto thugs and stabbed several times before HE STABBED three of them and then another rider was shot to death on the red line and Friday, a passenger waiting for a train was pushed off the platform onto the tracks in what could have been a tragedy.

CTA CRIME UP 26%. CARJACKINGS UP 123%     Still want to visit Chicago?

Here's the best explanation yet from beleaguered Mayor LORI LIGHTFOOT: "Most of these carjackings are done by juveniles. We just need to find something for them to do to get their minds off street crime."   Arrrrgggggh. What an idiot.   Hey homey, wanna join the chess club?? These thugs are thugs and will stay that way until dead or in prison. My source says 98% of the jacks are done by blacks.

Both the Mayor and Police Boss Brown were thumping their chests the other day when they claim violent crime was down. ?????? I'm not sure how to react to something that is obviously watered down but read one more sentence below.

Here's your final stat regarding crime and this came from an active anonymous member of the police department. Of the last 88 shooting victims in our lovely city, 78 have been black, 7 brown, 1 Asian and 2 white. Feel free to discuss over dinner which neighborhoods need more enforcement.

DUMB NEWS: HONOLULU HIGH SCHOOL changed it's name to William McKinley High School back in 1907 to honor the president who brought them in as citizens but now they want to change it back. Why? Did McKinley own slaves? No. Did he have illegals working in the yard at his home? No. Did he have an affair with an island girl? Still no.

Our 35th president was guilty of annexing Hawaii in 1898 and declaring that all citizens of the islands immediately became U.S. citizens with access to all benefits of every other citizen in the United States. HOW DARE HE?? In addition, the islanders were allowed to seat their own governor through the election process. HOW DARE HE AGAIN???

The islands were annexed during the Spanish-American War of 1898 as a strategic move to protect the waterways. But now there is a rush to return the school to it's original name.   P.S.  The same people are trying to change the name of PEARL HARBOR to PUULOA. How's that sit with you? Next, they'll want to tow the U.S. ARIZONA out of the bay

                                                           *******

Get ready to move your kids to the MARSHALL, NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL DISTRICT for the upcoming school year because EVERY school will be equipped with AR-15 automatic rifles for the SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER to protect the students. Two or three particulars caught my eye.....The rifle will be locked in a safe but what happens if the SRO is unavailable? Will administrators ALSO have the key? and will they be trained with the weapon? Is the rifle loaded at all times?  I guarantee you the bad guy will head to the offices first to neutralize the threat of the principal because EVERYONE knows the school is armed and he probably has the key/combo.

I get the reaction after the Texas massacre but tread lightly, North Carolina.

                                                                         *******

Finally, MAJOR SCUM ALEX JONES, radio talk show host who said over and over again that the SANDY HOOK SCHOOL SHOOTINGS were "fake and a hoax and nobody died because it was all an act" was ordered to pay a total of 49.3 million dollars to the parents of one of the victims. Jones also faces numerous lawsuits from other parents and is also under subpoena to the house committee investigating the attack on the Capitol.

Sleep well, Alex

                                                                   *******

Ok, that was a lot of crappy news but I promise the next one will be much lighter. Stay Safe AND DON'T GO TO CHICAGO. Adios.

THE DOG DAYS HAVE ARRIVED

 MLB is suffering from runaway division races as three of them have been wrapped up since the 4th of July and the METS have recently opened up a 6 1/2 game lead in the NL EAST so that leaves just the Central Divisions of both leagues. 

In the AL, all three teams who are in the running, including the White Sox, basically SUCK and the first team that wins 6 or 7 in a row will ring the bell but I don't think that's happening anytime soon. The 1st place Twins are 27-28 since July 1.  UGH.

 Now the CARDINALS in the NL Central apparently heard what I said as they just finished sweeping the Yankees for their 7th win in a row which allowed them to erase a 4 game deficit and pass up the Brewers.

                                                                       *******

I so much want to punch MICHAEL KOPECH in the face. EVERY TIME the Sox have a chance to knock on the door, pony tail boy melts like a cheap candle. Struggles in the early innings and puts the Sox behind the 8-ball and rarely gets out of the 5th inning.

Also on my punch list is TONY LaRUSSA for a variety of reasons. How do you keep a third baseman in the starting lineup when he's hitting .198? I guess so you can bookend him with a catcher whose average is .193, which means you're giving up SIX automatic outs every game which means you're only batting 7 times instead of 9.

                                                                   *******

The San Diego Padres have the UGLIEST UNIFORMS, home & away, in all of baseball including little league and park district intramurals. What were they thinking? The best are simple: Yankees home, Dodgers home and the new White Sox 'southside' home black uniforms. No discussion needed.

                                                                   *******

No thanks, I'll pass on $450 million dollars. What? Just one injury............😧😧😵

                                                                *******

The Cubs are now in a Texas death match with the Reds and the Pirates for the worst team in the central and the 2nd worse in the national league. The north siders recently grabbed the top spot after spitting up 7 of their last 10.

 And please explain to me how you don't trade either Contreras or Happ for a handful of prospects when you're in line to lose 94 games? And now Contreras walks away at the end of the year and the Cubs get ONE draft choice. GM JED HOYER needs to travel with LaRussa when the season is over.

                                                            *******

Ok, props to the Chicago Sky who are poised to make another run at the WNBA title.

                                                         *******

And the BEARS are sailing along so smoothly at practice that it's hard to believe the Super Bowl is not within their reach 🙈🙉🙊!! 

                                                                *******

Nothing to report on the BLACKHAWKS other than they followed the Cubs in gutting their team but at least they admit they're rebuilding. The BULLS have gone underground for the summer.

                                                                  *******

See you in a few. Stay safe and out of Chicago.
