Irishman charged in Crook County for aggravated robbery


Lauren Obrien, 18, of the 300 block of North Morgan Lane in Fox River Grove, has been charged with armed robbery and aggravated robbery, police said. Austin Pierce has been charged in three of the robberies and is being held in Cook County Jail in lieu of $60,000 bail, and also faces charges in connection with a series of robberies on the North Shore this month.

Police originally had suspected the two in the robberies of five stores between 5:30 p.m. May 15 and 10 a.m. May 22, and issued an alert May 23. In each case, a person approached a clerk and showed a note saying the robber is armed with a syringe, knife or gun, police said. A syringe and knife were displayed in two of the robberies.

The robberies cited in the original alert happened on the 1300 block of West Fullerton Avenue, the 1100 block of West Webster Avenue, the 2000 block of North Clybourn Avenue, the 1200 block of West Fullerton Avenue, and the 900 block of West Webster Avenue.

Obrien is charged with using a knife to rob a store in the 2000 block of North Clybourn on May 20 at 11:20 a.m., and fleeing with about $120. The second robbery in which she’s charged happended after the police alert was issued—and after Pierce was arrested. On May 25 about at 6:45 p.m., also in the 2000 block of North Clybourn, Obrien threatened to use a syringe on a store clerk and fled with $215, police said.

Court information on Obrien was not immediately available. Pierce, who originally appeared in court the day after the police alert was issued, was scheduled to appear in Branch 50 of Cook County Criminal Court on June 13.

POTUS is not the POTUS see proof for your self from so many


Real Student ID  sent to investigators in D.C.


This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. I  like so many others that were fooled voted for Obama. McCain was a Washington insider and we don't need any more of them. I have changed my mind three times, since then. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with. I started thinking "where does all the money come from for President Obama"? I have four daughters, who went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans. I started looking into Obama's history for my own peace of mind.

Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in
California . He is very open about his two years at Occidental; he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. "Barry" (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan . During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a "round the world" trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family.

My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Neither I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they were in college. When he came back he started school at
Columbia University in New York . It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barrack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ? It's not cheap to say the least. My girls asked me; where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe it's none of my business?

After
Columbia , he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000 a year. Why Chicago ? Why not New York ? He was already living in New York . By "chance" he met Antonio "Tony" Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria , and a real estate developer in Chicago . Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery several times in the past and in 2011. Rezko, was named "Entrepreneur of the Decade" by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association". About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School . Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School ? Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans? His family has no money that's for sure.

After Law school, he went back to
Chicago . Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what I discovered? They represented "Rezar" which is Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago . In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with "seed money" for his U.S. Senate race.
In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for this property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.

Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this?
Shiraz , Iran ! Am I going nuts or is there a pattern here?

On
May 10, 2008, The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was "sacked" after the press found out he was having regular contacts with "Hamas", which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran . This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq , he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will "Take care of things". What the heck does that mean?
Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that were born in Pakistan ? They are in charge of all those "small" Internet campaign contributions for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East ?

And the final bit of news. On
September 7, 2009, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, "My Muslim faith". When questioned, "he made a mistake". Some mistake huh?

All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barrack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited
Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008.

Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, Why haven't all of our "intelligent" members of the press been reporting this? Is this a Kettle of Fish??

As Arsenio Hall would say.----"HUMMMMMMM! Does something stink or is it my imagination?" These are legitimate questions for our president.

Could Chicago get it's 5th Star by hosting not just NATO but now a Superbowl

Mayor Rahm Emanuel put the arm on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell today, making a case for a Super Bowl to be held at Soldier Field.

Don’t start making plans to buy tickets yet, however. Chicago's lakefront is often arctic in February, and the stadium might not be big enough to host a Super Bowl.

Goodell was on hand to applaud the Bears and the Chicago Park District for making Soldier Field the first NFL stadium to receive LEED certification for its environmentally sustainable attributes.












Saturday Night Live DA Coach is all chocked up about the newly elected Mayor of Chicago wanting to host a Super Bowl

But Emanuel said he had the Super Bowl on his mind when the two met privately before the news conference. "I found out a secret, and that is the commissioner's in-laws live in the area, and I'm holding them hostage until that happens," Emanuel said.

"We talked about 'Why Chicago?' " the mayor added. "Two weeks ago, had a bunch of world leaders here, NATO summit, and if we can do that, it would be an appropriate place to have a Super Bowl.”

The NFL will hold its first open-air Super Bowl in a cold weather city in the Meadowlands in New Jersey in 2014. Goodell said the league's position on repeating the experiment will depend a lot on how things go then.

Goodell also acknowledged Soldier Field's relatively small capacity could be an issue.

But with increased seating and changes in code allowing for more people in its suites, the stadium's capacity has grown since its 2001-2003 renovation from 61,500 to about 63,500.

The home of the Indianapolis Colts, Lucas Oil Stadium, has a usual capacity of about 63,000 for football games, which would make it the smallest capacity stadium behind Soldier Field, but that was increased to about 68,000 for this year’s Super Bowl, according to the NFL. Lucas Oil Stadium also has a retractable roof, however.


Also important, Goodell said, is the need to be able to host the many people who come into the city just to be a part of the event without attending the game

Taste of Chicago announces its 2012 restaurant lineup

Some familiar faces will be missing from Taste of Chicago this year, as the annual food and entertainment festival downsizes in the face of declining revenues.

Taste in 2012 will be five days shorter (five days, down from 10 in previous years) and considerably smaller. Thursday, the city released the names of this year's restaurants; there will be 37 full-time participants this year, down from 57 a year ago. Which means 20 restaurants that had participated in the 2011 Taste won’t be around this summer.

Guey Lon, which had been in every Taste of Chicago since the event was created in 1980, won't be in Grant Park this summer. Vermilion, which has been a Taste participant for four straight years, also will be gone. Others missing in action are Adobo Grill, Harry Caray’s and Polka Sausage and Deli.

Several restaurant owners say they dropped out voluntarily.

“A lot of people lost money last year, us included,” said Guey Lon owner Jean Lee. “We’re a small restaurant; we have to at least break even to do (Taste). This year, with only five days, it’s very iffy; if it rains one day, you’ve had it. I wish the restaurants this year good luck and good weather.”

Rohini Dey, owner of Vermilion and its sister property, At Vermilion in New York, said she dropped out for workload reasons.

“Putting together a staff for Taste is not a small thing,” she said. “Between here and New York, I’m strapped.”

Of the 37 remaining participants, all but one have been at Taste before. The sole newcomer is Pazzo’s, a Loop restaurant that will be serving chicken vesuvio sandwiches and tiramisu at Taste.

Eli’s Cheesecake, the only remaining restaurant to have participated in every Taste of Chicago, will be back. So will Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria, which has been at every Taste of Chicago but the very first one.

In addition, 15 first-time participants will be at Taste for one day each. These so-called Pop-Up restaurants, including Arun’s and West Town Tavern, are by definition joining Taste for the first time. There will be three Pop-Up booths at Taste each day.

Taste of Chicago will run July 11-15 in Grant Park.

The lineup:

Abbey Pub

Bacino’s


BJ’s Market & Bakery

Bobak Sausage Company

Carbon Live Fire Mexican Grill

Churro Factory

Connie’s Pizza

Stupid fuck robber stick up a student infront of the cop shop seriously

Three men abandoned their weekend robbery attempt when the Northwestern University student they had confronted pointed out that they were standing in front of the university police station.

The incident began about 10:40 p.m. Sunday as the student walked east in the 500 block of Clark Street, according to a university alert. The student passed a large group of men walking toward him on the south side of the street, and as he passed, one person in the group yelled "yo" at him, the alert states.

The student did not respond and kept walking, turning north on the east side of Hinman Avenue. Three men approached him and demanded his money.

"Empty your pockets or we'll shoot you," the alert quotes one of the would-be robbers. The men did not display a weapon, the alert notes.

The student told the three men that he didn't think it was a good idea to rob him while they were standing in front of the university police station, according to the alert.

The three men fled south on Hinman and west on Clark. The student was unable to provide police with a detailed description of the men, and neither Evanston police officers nor university police were able to locate them.

Anyone with information about the incident should contact Evanston police at 847-866-5000.

Illinois lawmakers approve $1-a-pack cigarette tax increase


I Patrick Quinn do solemly swear that I will wipe my ass with the Constitution and rob people of their money so help me God
SPRINGFIELD --- Illinois lawmakers today approved a $1-a-pack cigarette tax hike to generate more money for health care for low-income people.

The Senate voted 31-27 in favor, sending the measure to Gov. Pat Quinn, who has said he supports it.

The state cigarette tax would rise from 98 cents a pack to $1.98 a pack.

If it passes, the state would generate $350 million and use it to leverage another $350 million from the federal government.

Another provision would put in place a new tax on the state's hospitals with the hopes of generating $50 million that could leverage another $50 million from Washington.

The House approved the cigarette-tax increase Friday.

Logan Square barricade situation

Police have been on the scene of a barricade situation where a man has refused to come down from a roof top on the Northwest Side in the city's Logan Square neighborhood.

The situation started shortly before 5 a.m. on the 2400 block of North Ridgeway Avenue, police said.

Preliminary reports said a man was on top of a roof and refused to come down.

As of 4 p.m., the situation was ongoing and police were still at the scene, said Police News Affairs Sgt. Antoinette Ursitti.

Police could not provide any further details about the incident.

Sarge's History lesson

Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed annually in the United States on the last Monday of May.[1] Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.[2] Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in all wars. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.
Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries.[3]
By the early 20th century, Memorial Day was an occasion for more general expressions of memory, as people visited the graves of their deceased relatives in church cemeteries, whether they had served in the military or not. It also became a long weekend increasingly devoted to shopping, family gatherings, fireworks, trips to the beach, and national media events such as the Indianapolis 500 auto race, held since 1911 on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.[4]
Annual Decoration Days for particular cemeteries are held on a Sunday in late spring or early summer in some rural areas of the American South, notably in the mountains. In cases involving a family graveyard where remote ancestors as well as those who were deceased more recently are buried, this may take on the character of an extended family reunion to which some people travel hundreds of miles. People gather on the designated day and put flowers on graves and renew contacts with kinfolk and others. There often is a religious service and a "dinner on the ground," the traditional term for a potluck meal in which people used to spread the dishes out on sheets or tablecloths on the grass. It is believed that this practice began before the American Civil War and thus may reflect the real origin of the "memorial day" idea. [5]

fact about constitution

The Philadelphia Convention adopted the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787 [01]. Anyone born after that date must be a natural born citizen in order to be eligible to serve as President of the United States [02].
President Obama's father, Barack Obama Senior (1936-1982), was a British East African (Kenyan) native who never became a U.S. citizen. President Obama -- regardless of where he was born -- acquired British nationality, at birth, by descent from his father. The President publicly admits that his citizenship status, at birth, was "governed" by the British Nationality Act of 1948 (see Barack Obama's "fight the smears" website).
FactCheck.org has confirmed President Obama's foreign citizenship at birth:
...at the time of his birth, Barack Obama Jr. was both a U.S. citizen (by virtue of being born in Hawaii) and a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (or the UKC) by virtue of being born to a father who was a citizen of the UKC. (FactCheck.org: Obama's Kenyan Citizenship)
An increasing number of Americans are concerned that, since President Obama was born with foreign nationality (in addition to U.S. citizenship), he might not be a "natural born citizen" and therefore might not be eligible, under the Constitution, to serve as president [04].
