Have you ever noticed that when you present people with facts that are contrary to their deepest held beliefs they always change their minds? Me neither. In fact, people seem to double down on their beliefs in the teeth of overwhelming evidence against them. The reason is related to the worldview perceived to be under threat by the conflicting data. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-to-convince-someone-when-facts-fail/ ------------------ |

Similar to this statement.... The truth is the truth even if you don't believe it is the truth. |

You continue to post your politically false stories in the main forum forcing extra work for the moderator to remove them. 2 x this past week in fact. You wouldn't know a fact if it was sitting on top of a bottle of Ol # 7. Have one on me UB... |

Here's a fact that fails,,,,,Chicago GUN CONTROL LAWS: "A violent Christmas weekend in a violent year for Chicago: 11 more killed, 50 more wounded" Over 4000 wounded and 770 killed in Obama's and Mayor Rahm Emanuel's Chicago in 2016. Since the population is declining in the West and South sides of Chicago,,the time is ripe to settle about 10,000 of those Muslim immigrants coming into the U.S. there. I'm sure they will assimilate into the gang/rap/gun culture and propel the violence figures into a higher status. If they shot and kill each other,,we won't have to deport them on taxpayers money. |

The GOOD news is that drug dealers are being released at unprecedented numbers. That will help the problem in Chicago, which is a drug free zone. lol |

If you add the homicide total of L.A. to the NYC total, Chicago has had over 100 more than those two cities combined. That is incredible. Think how bad it would be if there weren't such strict gun laws in Chicago. |

Heard on local news 60 Minutes Sunday to have a special Chicago violence segment. Former Top Cop McCarthy interviewed - will be interesting if he tosses Rham under the bus at all ... since Rham made McCarthy the scapegoat for the one videotape cop shooting here and how it was handled. |
