hello america!!! firstly, i want you to know i do not take any homicides lightly nor do i try to belittle those speaking out against them, however, there comes a time when even i must break my own rules---i've been following & writing about all the senseless homicides in chicago (& other cities) for years & see no reason to stop now---i also had something to say when baltimore's dem rep elijah cummings showed up & sounded off during the 'freddie gray' uprisings---so, please don't think this is new to me...
what's been going on in chicago has been going on for a very, very long time & the saddest part of all of it is, it's been going on under the 'so-called leadership' of the dems &, more pathetically, under the radar of our main-stream media, the obama admin &, those protesting &/or speaking out for 'social injustice' [police abuse]...look, there's something very wrong going on in these dem-controlled cities where murders have become the 'new norm' & go unchecked & unreported---you need to open your minds up & really think about that...
here are the chicago 2016 stats---3,941 people shot & wounded (not included in this are those that were wounded but never went to a hospital or reported it)---634 of those people shot were killed & yet, 707 total homicides have been reported ---police were involved in 23 shootings (killing 8/wounding 13)---529 victims were black/111 were latino (by the way, donald trump was the only one to hammer this during his campaign)---how come this isn't front page news every day/all day??? how come main-stream media isn't camped out in chicago blasting this on tv 24/7??? why are all of those 'so-called' civil rights groups so silent??? where are our elected leaders on these unjust killings??? (i can understand why the dems are quiet because for them to make noise would be to criticize the dems that run these violent communities)---most of all, where are the collective voices &/or protests of people of color at???
on the other hand, let a cop shoot a person of color under suspicious conditions & it's all over the tv & social media; the 'big-shots' grab camera time &, the liberal left yells 'social injustice' & claim 'racism'---HMMM???
unfortunately, a black killing has made the headlines but for the wrong reasons---yesterday & today we have seen (depending on who you follow) the media reporting the murder of 15 year old javon wilson &, also unfortunately, i believe it was only covered because he is the grandson of us rep danny davis (dem/ representing illinois)---while i feel for rep davis, his grandsons death does not deserve more 'air-time' over any other chicago homide---you aren't hearing about the shooting death of 16 year old (also black) elijah house (thurs/3 nov)---you aren't hearing about the shooting death of 16 year old (also black) clarence coakley (mon/7 nov)---you aren't hearing about the shooting death of 17 year old (also black) jeremiah parker (also mon/7 nov---not connected)---& hey, you also didn't hear about a 1 year old being stomped to death (thur/10 nov)---damn, there's just far too much you don't hear about & i call that 'willful ignorance'...but, you'll raise hell if a cop shoots a black man when he has a loaded gun that he refuses to put down---are you crazy???
there have been 278 homicides in baltimore (so far) this year & 180 of the victims have been black & you don't hear crap about them---
there have been 118 black homicides in st louis (so far) this year & you don't hear crap about them---just so you know, 104 black people are suspects in those killings---
there's something terribly wrong within these violent communities & hey, maybe i'm just stupid but look at the common facts---
1...the vast majority of these communities are controlled by the dem party
2...the vast majority of these communities live around the national poverty level
3...the vast majority of these communities have high unemployment rates
4...the vast majority of these communities have high dropout rates/low education standards
5...the vast majority of these communities have a hell of a lot of unregistered fire-power
6...the vast majority of these communities continue to re-elect the dem party to power
7...the vast majority of these communities are over-run with gangs, drugs &, people willing to shoot others...
you have to be a very special kind of stupid to think that our problems with the cops needs more attention than our problems with each other---gangs, drugs & guns are being allowed into our communities & the results speak for themselves...
my stats come from---

John, I can only hope this will help...
Mr John C.Randall lll, i hate to bust your bubble but, these are the facts...
1.....the policies of the bush admin were not the cause for the housing market collapse &, although you won't give him the credit he's due, he actually tried to stave off that collapse starting in april 2001 by warning congress about his concerns &, had congress have acted on his concerns, the collapse may never have occurred---the following is from the white house archives (the very same place obamas official activities will be kept)---https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2008/10/20081009-10.html & please, take notice to which party continued to rebuff his concerns & when they did act on them, the damage had already been done...
2.....our economy is far from being 'turned around'---the following will explain what determines our economic growth---https://www.thebalance.com/what-is-the-gdp-growth-rate-3306016 &, if you don't understand it, please call me---this is our gdp rate quarterly---http://www.multpl.com/us-gdp-growth-rate/table/by-quarter &, there's no way you (or anybody else) can tell me it's at a 'good point' or that obama has turned it around---let's keep it real, when we're importing much more than we're exporting, our economic growth will never occur...
3.....you talk about private sector job growth to which you are so willing to give obama credit for, however, what they are telling you are lies & i have the proof of that statement which will come from the dep't of labor & the bureau of labor statistics---for the month of october 2016, we added 161,000 jobs per http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm however, we lost 1,270,000 jobs for that same month per https://www.dol.gov/ui/data.pdf so, you do the math for that one month alone & figure out who's been lying to you---hell, the week ending saturday/5 nov saw 254,000 initial unemployment claims alone---i have been following the jobs gained verses the jobs lost & the jobs lost have reached an astounding number under obama but, nobody tells you that &, you don't do your own homework---since feb 2009, 4,637,000 jobs were not gained because of the recession (& obama didn't start counting job growth until after his 15th month in office which is just not right)---he is taking claim for the 15,536,000 jobs gained &, i'm here to tell you that you have to subtract that 4 million plus from the 15 million plus & you'll end up with 10,899,000 jobs gained from feb 2009---seems like a good number until you look at all the jobs lost on a monthly basis during that same time frame---you want facts, here are the facts---from the week ending 10/31/15 through the week ending 11/5/16, we have lost 14,106,000 jobs---you can only begin to imagine what that number is if you add all the monthly job losses up from 2/2009 through the present---& here is another little fact about unemployment/employment per http://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htm which brings me to your talking about the unemployment rate of 4.9%...
the way our gov't measures unemployment was changed 1/1/10 to exclude certain groups so as not to have them count in the ratings thus, lowering our rate automatically (which many argued was done to assist obama---i am one of them)---here is an article that i do not have 'rights' to written 2/9/12 that may give you more insight---http://www.forbes.com/sites/peterferrara/2012/02/09/dont-be-fooled-the-obama-unemployment-rate-is-11/#7fc7899c3d23 &, it's well worth reading & following up (if you want to learn the truth)---here's another article written 2/3/15 worth reading---http://www.gallup.com/opinion/chairman/181469/big-lie-unemployment.aspx ---nobody wants to believe that the leader of our country would continuously lie to us about the jobs market but hey, that's what he does best &, in addition, he gets his minions to support him...
the stock market is privately controlled & is further proof that gov't just needs to stay out of the public sector---the system is designed to take care of itself (the gov't isn't buying or selling the stocks)---give obama credit when he is due it---i was against the tarp bailouts under both bush & obama & still am---yes, we fell but hey, big companies have a way of surviving without gov't interference---you brought up the stock market so allow me to ask you this:::since you steadfastly support obama, did you invest in any of his green-energy projects??? if you did, you'd be broke because the vast majority of them failed & the taxpayers also got screwed---remember that 'chevy volt'??? oh, wait a minute, they are now making it in mexico---caterpillar is another example---am trac (obama didn't start this one) is another one we need the gov't to stop spending our money on---they lose money every year as does our postal service---those that have the money to invest/sell stocks will do so regardless of what happens in the white house---if you really want to go there, the markets fell heavily during the election day/night & after trump was announced the winner, they rebounded to having their best week in 5 years & yet, none of you even hint at talking about that---HMMM???
here is the latest social security report---https://www.ssa.gov/oact/trsum/ & the truth is, it's not as well off as you were told---our treasury secretary will say what he is told to say...
income equality (wealthy vs the not wealthy) will always exist & hey, there are far too many ways of looking at it to reach an honest conclusion---i don't begrudge those that have & yes, i do try to help some of those that have less than i do (especially our vets)---i look at it this way;;;if you're the guy getting paid to dig a ditch with a shovel, there's no way in hell you should earn the same money as the guy digging it with a bulldozer---& no, you just can't raise the minimum wage at one end without raising it all the way through---if you've been on your job for x amount of years & you're making good money because of raises (etc), you're going to resent somebody just coming in (without that same experience) & making the same money---you're going to want to be paid more simply because you should...
let's talk about those 'loopholes'---obama did say he wanted to close them but, he chose the ones he didn't like & wouldn't budge from that stance---on the flip side of that, he signed democrats sponsored bills into law that had 'loopholes' for his chosen people---obamacare is the best example of that---it's good enough for all of america except for him & his family, our politicians, professional people & the unions---obama's the same person who said he wasn't going to hire lobbyists---go figure---speaking of party opposition, dem harry ried denied the repubs constantly https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4505147/harry-reid-332-bills-sitting-desk &, if you care to remember, obamacare was drawn up & signed into law without any repub input...
personally, i know we, as a country, are far worse off now compared to pre-obama days & that's especially true for people of color...

JUST NINE THINGS!!!
hello america!!! i said i'd get back to all of that negative anti-trump protesting so, here it is...
first, if any anti-trump protesters are blocking traffic, harassing &/or harming others or, destroying property, they're wrong & should be arrested, PERIOD!!! their negative actions will always drown out their concerns...
second, where are the dem 'so-called leaders' & left-wing media at in condemning &/or trying to quell the negativeness of the protesting??? their repeated silence is louder than all of the anti-trump protesters voices combined & yet, they couldn't wait to denigrate trump for just saying he wanted to punch somebody in the mouth...
third, yes, hillary was defeated & yet, it took 8 hours for her to confront her supporters---had she of won, she would have given her 'thank you-we won' speech around 2:30am where her supporters were gathered awaiting her??? however, her campaign manager, john podesta was quick to tell the supporters to go home---what kind of happy horse crap is that???
fourth, the media needs to tell the truth on all it covers because, had they unbiasedly done their jobs without inputting their own feelings & beliefs in the mix, all people would have been better prepared to accept the results---as of 7pm/est (on election night) they were still 'talking up' hillary while 'talking down' trump & now, they're blaming the 'pollsters' for it---hmmm; those were not 'pollsters' manning those big maps telling us which states hillary would carry...
fifth, trump supporters are being denigrated for casting their vote in his favor---i.e; i'm a misogynist for voting for trump because he's a man (my reasons for him just don't count) & yet, what about the women that voted for hillary simply because she's a woman (wouldn't that make them misandries???) we could continue the name-calling for the next 20 years & never get anything resolved---somehow we have to bury the hatchet & get along...
sixth, certain dems are coming out & saying they can work with trump to move our country forward & that's a plus for all americans...
seventh, when are all those big-mouthed celebrities leaving my country---they didn't say it jokingly so don't joke about i now---pack up, get the hell out &, stay gone...
eighth, think whatever you wish to but, give this some honest thought---trump won & will be our seated president come january 20th---i've no doubt that he will do some things &/or say some things that will even piss me off but, for whatever it's worth, i'm willing to give him a chance to make america great & hey, we have a multitude of problems that need fixing in order to get there & yes, i'll be on here to speak my mind (good or bad)...
ninth, protesters, protest with class & do it legally---&, for you that side with the protesters, that could have been your family member dragged from that car & beaten; that could have been your car that was vandalized; that could have been your store-front windows smashed &, it that needs to stop before the bullets start flying because it may be one of yours that stops that bullet...

GIVE TRUMP A CHANCE!!!
hello america!!! while i am extremely happy that a repub (donald trump) won the white house, i'm also extremely upset that people have taken to the streets to voice their displeasure with the election results in the negative way they are presently going about it & hey, i'll get back to this in a my very next post...
look, trump beat out 17 other repub candidates (regardless of his rhetoric or methods) to put himself in the position he's now in &, know this---he had to fight his own party that did everything they could to stop him///he had to fight the dem party that did everything they could to stop him///he had to fight most of the media that did everything they could to stop him///he had to fight the many groups that organized to do everything they could to stop him///he had to fight all the celebrities that did everything they could to stop him///hell, he even had to fight the pope who spoke against him (BUT, THAT WAS OK WITH YOU THOUGH)///he had to fight all the pollsters that did everything they could to stop him///he had to fight obama & the first lady that did everything they could to stop him///finally, he had to fight hillary who did everything she could to stop him---the man (REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU MAY THINK ABOUT HIM) is a winner & now, he has to fight all the organized activist's that are doing all they can to derail him...
look, to me, you have to be a very special kind of stupid not to want:::
lower taxes
school choice &/or vouchers
smaller gov't
more jobs/better jobs
less regulations
better & truly affordable heathcare
better secured borders w/wo the wall
less drugs, gangs & violence within our own borders
equal foreign trade deals
the very best military in the world
foreign countries paying us their fair share
unity as a country of one (with no exceptions)
restoration of the american dream
better care & more choices for our vets
enforced vetting of foreigners entering our country
holding all of our gov't officials accountable (regardless of influence or position)
better support & training for our police forces
securing our social security system for the present & the future
rebuilding our infrastructure
more home ownership
restoring 'greatness' to our country & what our flag truly represents
all political party's working together (with the white house) to do what's good for our country
making the needs of america first over the needs of other countries
i say give trump a chance because the greatest thing about him is, he is not a politician &, more importantly, he will be the first president that's not beholding to lobbyist's & special interests groups...

AM I DEAF OR ARE THEY JUST NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS???
hello america!!! before you even think of commenting, please allow the following to float around in your mind for a minute or so---how are all of these 'street guns' getting into the hands of those who are so willing to use them without any regard to the consequences??? hell, i've often said it's easier for a 12 year old to get a 'street gun' than for a lawful citizen to legally purchase one & hey, that's a very big problem &, before one of you idiots say it, gun control has absolutely nothing to do with it...
for 2016 alone, chicago has had 2,917 people shot of which, 449 have died & far too many of the guns are untraceable, un-recovered &, very few arrests have been made---by the way, chicago has one of the strictest gun control laws in the country but you wouldn't know it by judging all the gun violence...
&, before we proceed, the police were involved in only 17 of the above shootings---killing 6/wounding 11---so yes, we need more idiots like colin kaepernick & other 'famous' celebs; obama & company; the liberal media & organizations like black lives matter to further tell us about this great imbalance between the police & their use of deadly force---especially when it comes to their dealing with people of color---for those of you steeped in stupidity, take 2917 & subtract 17 from it & then tell me where the real problem lies...
america seems to be at war with america & it has nothing to do with race, religion or sex---we are killing one another at an alarming rate & it's even worse in all of our 'down-trodden, poverty-struck, jobless, & lowly educated' communities---just so you know, democrats have been in control for quite some time in many of those same communities &, regardless of badly their policies have hurt people of color, people of color continue to vote them into office---the dems only reach out to people of color when it's election time & then, when they're elected/reelected, the people of color are forgotten---in the meantime, the communities fall farther into neglect, more people are are forced into poverty, more jobs continue to disappear &, the education level lowers as does the graduation rate---it's a vicious cycle & very few (in terms of numbers) are able to climb out of it---the one constant is crime &, moreso, violent crime...
let's keep it real---whenever a cop kills a person of color under questionable circumstances, obama & company are all over the networks & the liberal media go crazy covering it---(if you did the above math you'll understand this)---from obama on down (to include the media) nobody mentions those 2,900 people that the cops were there for if only by just showing up at the scene, however, we all know they did a hell of a lot more than that:::they secure the scene making it safe for our fire departments & ems people to to their jobs &, usually, they render whatever aid they can until the relief shows up---but, what do i know??? we tend to allow ourselves to get caught up by all the distractions that we lose focus on the real problem...
when it comes to people of color & the cops, our biggest problem is among one another & how effortlessly (& willingly) we kill one another---instead of focusing on the WHY IS THAT, we are distracted by cops shooting us (justified or not) & we become incited & tear up or burn down our own crap---that has to be super-intelligence at its highest...
we can argue politics any damn time you want but, when we have numbers like this:::2016 baltimore/200 homicides/144 of them black or, 2016 chicago/497 homicides/380 of them black &, in both city's, it's mostly black-on-black crime & my question resurfaces itself here; how are all the 'street guns' getting to all of those so willing to use them??? for whatever reason, nobody ever questions that & seemingly, nobody investigates it---it's almost like these guns are allowed to magically show up in our communities without ever coming from anywhere---which takes me back in time when 'drugs' were allowed to fester in our communities & weren't a problem until they reached the urban areas of america & then, it became an epidemic...HMMM!!!
we need to work on coming up with solutions to stop all the violence & we'll never accomplish that by making cop killings our focal point---i've been posting about the chicago violence for a long period of time &, just think, none of our politicians even mention it & yet, donald trump mentions it & has provided some insight as to how to deal with it...

for 2016 alone, chicago has had 2,917 people shot of which, 449 have died & far too many of the guns are untraceable, un-recovered &, very few arrests have been made---by the way, chicago has one of the strictest gun control laws in the country but you wouldn't know it by judging all the gun violence...

KEEP BELIEVING THE LIES & DECEPTIONS!!!
hello america!!! here are the jobs numbers for august 2016 & hey, they are not good, have not been good &, will not be good unless we can put our country back to work...
for august, we added/gained 151,000 jobs (HERE'S THE GOV'T REPORT) & some of you accept that number as a good thing because obama & company (along with the liberal media) tell you it's a good thing---most of you just refuse to do your own homework & are left in the dark---
here is the light---for august, we lost 1,052,000 jobs (GOV'T REPORT HERE) &, that's what the democrats try to hide from you & you allow them to---they've been playing a numbers game with you for a very long time...
your willful ignorance &/or arrogant denial won't alter the facts concerning our jobs reality, & good people, it's extremely bad---the proof is in the numbers & hey, true math doesn't lie---so, get your calculators out so you can add all the jobs added/gained (under obama) from feb 2009 through the present using (THIS GOV'T CHART) & be prepared to be skeptical---because, i also have another chart listing all the jobs lost since feb 2009 & this one is tricky to get into---when you click on this link it's 'yahoo unorthorized' so click on the 'here' link---it is the dep't of labors site--- Unemployment Insurance Weekly Claims Data,...
start with 2009, HTML & click on 'submit' & check out the left column of numbers of jobs lost weekly...

JOHN JR---ON POVERTY!!!
POVERTY---obama once told us, 'middle-class is a state of mind' so, i can only wonder what he thinks of those living on or below our federal poverty level which is approximately 12%-15% of our entire population made up with approximately 47 million people of color plus---so, as i refer back to my original request, i have to look at both sides of our political party's & somewhere in between the answers lies the truth of which party has helped better the lives of people of color, however, before i get in to it, i would like you to remember just one never-changing fact; if it doesn't help america, it helps people of color even less---& hey, i never thought i would be able to say a white person could sum it as well as a person of color but, i was wrong---http://www.wnd.com/2016/02/we-blacks-democrats-modern-day-slaves/...
our 2016 financial poverty level is set at---$11,770 for a single person & up to $40,890 for a family of 8 &, good people, that's before any taxes, rent, groceries, utility bills or other bills are paid---for whatever reason, our politicians don't talk about our people living in poverty just like they don't talk about our homeless unless something drastic happens or it's election time---even though all of the numbers fluctuate yearly, they have remained in the same ball-park for years---in fact, with the middle-class shrinking & now struggling, our economy is hurting people of color even more---i'm here to tell you that poverty is directly related to jobs & i'll get back to that in a moment or two...
the poverty rate for black people is 26%-31%---for our male youth (18 & under) it's 38.1%---for our female (18 & under) it's 38.8%---black females with no spouse is 37% &, with children under 18 is 46.1%---black males with no spouse is 23.7% &, with children under 18 is 31.2%---all of these numbers have pretty much remained the same for years which tells me that the programs that people give the democrats credit for aren't helping the people of color a whole hell of a lot PERIOD!!! here's 2 sites for you to examine so you'll know where my numbers came from---http://blackdemographics.com/households/poverty/ which is much like this one---http://kff.org/other/state-indicator/poverty-rate-by-raceethnicity/...no matter how you slice it, black people are hurting a hell of a lot more than our gov't is telling us &, unfortunately, the media doesn't deem our status as 'newsworthy' to cover...
hey, it's really freaking simple, if you're honestly out there every day working to make ends meet & you're still struggling to do it, something is not working & i don't give two craps who tells you that they did something to benefit people of color---yes, there's ss & ssd, food stamps, welfare, medicare, medicaid, housing, day care, food banks, soup kitchens, free clothing, free busing, educational assistance, rent rebates, obama phones, utility assistance &, there are churches & other organizations that can/will help you &, they were all designed to help somebody on a temporary basis until they could get back on their own feet & hey, you're still struggling---somebody's been peeing on you & calling it rain & instead of you questioning them about the taste of it, you added sugar & swallowed it...
now back to that job issue---far too many people of color are on the bottom rung of the ladder of life when it comes to good-paying jobs & it has nothing to do with skin color or laziness---you simply can't be a chef if you can't cook which should tell all of us that if you're not qualified for a job, you probably won't get it & hey, i'm here to tell you that i am against affirmative actions---i don't want anybody giving me crap because i'm black-that's an insult---let me earn it &, if i have to take a second job, sobeit...
most people of color are not qualified for a lot of the good-paying jobs when (& if) they graduate high school &, we can blame that on our sorry education system &, before you hang me, allow me to point out the proof of that seemingly ridiculous statement---i live in allentown pa in the allentown school district & i'm about 2 1/2 blocks from william allen high school & yet, the average allen hs grad has not taken the same classes/material as somebody from parkland hs or central catholic hs & that's because the 'standards' are different---& hey, the dems are all about taking credit for trying to keep our educational system up-to-date but, they have nothing to say about our youth graduating without the knowledge that they should have & unfortunately, the parants don't make a lot of noise so, it's allowed to continue unchecked (just how dumb are we???)---for the most part, poor neighborhood schools graduate 12th graders that are really on a 9th or 10th grade level & they do it with consistency---how in the hell can anybody expect these kids to rise above the poverty level when we allow them to be 'dumbed down' in school??? the education problems & jobs problem are co-related but what do i know---after all, the obama & company have said that they put america back to work which is another example of that 'rain water'...just so you know i don't make this stuff up, the allentown city school district ranks 491 out of the 577 pennsylvania school districts & here's the proof---http://www.schooldigger.com/go/PA/districtrank.aspx...
good people, we need jobs PERIOD!!! obama promised jobs & those 'shovel ready jobs' ended up not being so 'shovel ready'---besides, not a whole hell of a lot of people of color got them nor will they---the unions will see to that because they have invested in our gov't at all levels...
here's two more articles for you to read---http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2014/03/if-democrats-want-appeal-working-class-they-really-need-some-policies-benefit-wor
& he wrote this the following day---http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2014/03/what-have-democrats-ever-done-us
so, while you are so willing (for which i thank you) to tell me what all the democrats have done to better the plight of people of color (& more specifically black people) simply because they pushed a bill through congress & into law, allow me to ask this;;;if black people are suffering as much today as they were were 50, 60 years ago, are you still willing to stand by your comments??? &, before you respond, think of this---if you break your leg & i give you a crutch & that's all i give you, have i really helped you or hurt you???
with all of the success that the democrats get for helping the people of color, why aren't their lives improving???
