Chicago lawmaker calls to BAN Grand Theft Auto in new bill, blaming ‘violent video games’ for spike in carjackings

A Democratic lawmaker in Chicago is pushing to ban the sale of all violent video games, claiming the graphic ‘Grand Theft Auto’ series – which debuted more than 20 years ago – is to blame for a wave of carjackings around the city.

State lawmaker Marcus Evans Jr. introduced an amendment on Monday that would “prohibit the sale of all violent video games,” including those that depict “motor vehicle theft with a driver or passenger present inside the vehicle when the theft begins.” He singled out GTA by name during a Monday press conference.

This is fool proof!

Al Jazeera Launches Site To Woo Conservatives

When the Islamic terror state of Qatar directed its Al Jazeera international propaganda machine at America, it naturally veered toward targeting the treasonous Left. During the War on Terror and the Bush era, lefties were the obvious demographic who were likeliest to be receptive to Qatar’s propaganda.

Qatar is the funder behind the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups, it’s an ally of Iran and its royal family has links to September 11.

Pierre Trudeau may have asked business leader to move jobs from Quebec, says U.S. State Department document

I finally know someone who has Covid. Me Sainted Irish 96 Year Old Mudda caught it at the hospital.

There has been an outbreak on her floor for the past week, she was being treated for suspected pneumonia but her test came back positive last night.

All of this because she was immobilized when she arrived at St. Joe’s for treatment of edema before Christmas.

She was caught in a Covid lockdown at St. Joes and she was bedridden for two weeks which exasperated a knee problem.

They decided a stint at Runnymede rehab was called for but she was further waylayed and kept immobile at St. Joe’s due to an earlier outbreak at Runnymede which delayed her departure.

St. Joes’ helped by botching a cortisone shot to her knee and then broke Mom’s hearing aids for added measure.

It’s very frustrating, I have seen Mom at the hospitals perhaps 8 times since Christmas between Covid outbreaks.

The isolation will kill her before Covid does.

She sounded good yesterday when we spoke on the phone, her release date had been scheduled for March 8th which cheered her up but that is unlikely now, as she has already missed a week of physio alone hindering her progress.

City of Toronto seeking $187K from Etobicoke BBQ owner who defied lockdown

The City of Toronto is seeking to recoup the $187,000 it says it spent forcing an Etobicoke barbecue eatery to comply with public health lockdown measures.

Police were repeatedly called to Adamson BBQ in Etobicoke last November after the restaurant’s owner, Adam Skelly, openly defied lockdown measures and allowed in-person dining. Scores of Skelly’s supporters and anti-lockdown protesters swarmed police officers on scene, and city officials were forced to change the locks to keep the restaurant in compliance with public health orders.

Skelly was charged both criminally and non-criminally with trespassing, intent to obstruct police, violating indoor dining rules, holding an illegal gathering and operating a business without a licence.

Have they gone after BLM?

Do the police know the difference between offensive and offence?

Farcical scenes on the Wirral, where the police have apologised for a billboard reading “BEING OFFENSIVE IS AN OFFENCE”. Superintendent Martin Earl announced that this alarming declaration “although well-intentioned was incorrect.” Earl stressed, at some length, the importance of combatting hate, the outstanding credentials of the local “Hate Crime Co-ordinators”, and so on, but made sure to “clarify that ‘being offensive’ is not in itself an offence.” Nevertheless, it raises a question: Where on earth did Wirral Police get such a strange idea in the first place?

Merrick Garland: Portland Riots May Not Be ‘Domestic Terrorism‘ Because Courthouse Was Closed

New York activists respond to brutal attack on Asian man by rallying against White Nationalism, even though the culprit was BLACK

Anti-racism activists in New York have risen up to rally against white supremacy as they demand justice for a Filipino-American man who was viciously slashed with a box cutter on the subway. Never mind that the attacker was black.

Hundreds of protesters gathered at New York’s Washington Square Park on Saturday afternoon and marched through parts of Manhattan, chanting, “Whose streets? Our streets.” The marchers congregated in front of the iconic Macy’s store on 34th Street. One carried a sign declaring, “White nationalism is the virus.”
