Based on 2024 homicide rates, Chicago ranks 8th. St Louis at #1 has more than double the homicide rate of Chicago. New Orleans, Detroit, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Richmond, all have higher homicide rates than Chicago. Why aren’t we sending the National Guard into those cities? Kind of obvious why.

I do hope the police departments in Boston and Chicago take this for what it is - a slap in the face, saying they are incapable of doing their jobs, so the Fed needs to send in troops to do it for them.

You’ll lose all military benefits and receive a dishonorable discharge which in some cases is worst that a felony conviction when you go to apply for a job. If the military decides your actions amount to desertion, they will get the FBI involved, and court martial you, which can include jail time.

Margins on non-luxury imported goods are not high enough to absorb a 40% tariff. Goods from Canada with a 35% tariff would mean a $100 product would have a $35 tariff. At 40% the importer would need to eat $14 and raise their selling price to $121. Even if you believe this fantasy, prices go up 21%.

Parents had no idea where we were during the Summer. After breakfast we’d head out on our bikes with orders to be home by dinner (a family in the neighborhood had a school bell the dad would ring at 6:00).
