Chicago Sun-Times and the Mafia

-
Sometimes, a newspaper gets smaller. Such is the fate of the Chicago Sun-Times. Smaller size, smaller staff. I wish I sold more papers too, guys, but here I am, fighting online because people are buying fewer where I am.

Editor and PublisherDeparting 'Sun-Times' Biz Editor Miller Says Newsroom Mood Actually 'Improving' Despite Cuts

The News
The Chicago Bears are out of the playoffs. They never made it in.

Mafia thugs are taking a hit in their home city of Sicily, Italy.

Web, crackdowns weakening Mafia's grip.

These are not men who love their families, and certainly not their God. These extortionists are like the terrorist pigs in Iraq and elsewhere who are scamming to kill their neighbors.

To the men protesting: You have honor. The Mafia is less than the scum between your toes. Stay strong.

PALERMO, Sicily - When it came down to business, Cosa Nostra could always count on fear.

No more.

In a rebellion shaking the Sicilian Mafia to its centuries-old roots, businesses are joining forces in refusing to submit to demands for protection money called "pizzo."

I spent a lot of time on the L, and walking far from the Loop. That's where the roaches live. Incestuous slime, the Black Gangster Disciples, the Vice Lords, the Latin Kings. Then the Crips, the Jamaicans, and other fecal matter. Scum. The thug mentality has reached into the crotches of many young men's minds. A combination of insecurity, poverty-mindset and broken families have confused them what it means to be a man. The News Dad of slain teen: Chicago violence 'out of control' Fifteen people killed in Chicago over last two weeks. What more do you need to know? If you are a Chicagoan, turn these pansies in. They are infecting schools, churches, and the streets. American Street Gangs The Red Bandana Finding Fitness Through the Joy of Running. Every Friday.

-
It seems the newspaper era is dying faster than an honest politician's election campaign. Then, there is Donald Trump's Presidential Alert. It isn't really his. It just looks that way. So, some guy owns the domain.  https://presidentialalert.com/ I hope he makes billions.
