Rex Huppke (@RexHuppke) June 05, 2025All day I’ve read snide email from readers saying, “Chicago has strict gun laws and look at the murder rate. How’s that workin’ out for ya?”

To anyone who thinks that way, I invite you to come here and spend some time in the neighborhoods where the murders happen.

The people in this city who can afford to legally purchase a gun don’t go into these neighborhoods, and they aren’t the ones getting killed.
—
Rex Huppke (@RexHuppke) June 05, 2025So you’ll excuse me if I don’t care whether they get more guns or not - it’s irrelevant. I care about the families I’ve seen destroyed.

And about the bloodied children I’ve seen carried off to ambulances - or morgues.

Rex Huppke (@RexHuppke) June 05, 2025Don’t conflate strict gun laws with the tragedy of gun violence in this city. If you care, do something about the poverty and joblessness.

Congratulation JER!
You get the GOLD since you are ahead of me : )
HAPPY FRIDAY!
Thank you very much (Elvis voice).
;) Thanks for the link too.
:-)
Congrats JER! :)
Thank you very much.
Great tweet - and the gold cup as well
ahhh - mixing tweets and posts - and it’s only 10 am in my world
Good Morning! :)
Hi CarolMae - I should be out and about - but - watching planes landing
:)
I notice you got a very happy personalized cup earlier - Way to go, ts!
Gotta ask the b.t. these days - since she started giving herself the gold we are the forgotten winners.
O. Kay. I get it; ask, and it shall be given ye. I’ll remember that next time I make it to the top and tell you later if it works.
So I had to give away the trade secret - will I ever learn :)
She did offer a picture of Rooney - beware of males wearing bikinis.
O lord, don’t for goodness sakes tilt her memory in THAT direction!! You should know by now that it doesn’t take much to awaken the :devil: in her.
Don’t mind me, just testing… :devil: :evil: :twisted:
……………… doesn’t take much to awaken the :twisted: in her.
Congrats on 1st JER.
Thank you for yet another fine thread, NW.
1st
so close
: ( I know, we came through the door at the same time @8:13p.m. maybe I fell, not sure : )
You stopped to check for AF1 :)
This was my 1st time witnessing everything and it was beautiful. I always miss them. I was smiling the whole time. President Obama looked so happy and fresh. The man has EXCELLENT genes and stamina but his mother was a busy lady, always working for others.
History is always on the side of what’s right.

Howdy! :)
Halllloooooooooooooooooo……….
Thanks a gaaaaaaaazillion Nerdy!!
You are weeeeeeeeeeeeelcome, Mrs. Mourinho.
Oi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :evil:
Perfect - but truly amazing that this needed to be said - Maybe in post 2017 PBO could concentrate on saying what he really thinks about the dumb of the pundits
https://twitter.com/Our4thEstate/status/475069351679119360
Edited ….
Whether you believe in the Bible or not, there’s something biblical about the upcoming event at the invitation of Pope Francis on Sunday.
“The Israeli and Palestinian presidents will plant an olive tree as a symbol of peace after an unprecedented prayer meeting with Pope Francis in the Vatican Gardens on Sunday amid high tensions in the Middle East …
“The Vatican said it hoped the initiative launched by Francis, which will include Christian, Jewish and Muslim prayers and music, would have an impact on public opinion but stressed it would be a purely spiritual event …
[and my favorite part, from the perspective mentioned] “The ceremony will begin at 1700 GMT, the Vatican said on Friday, specifying that prayers will be delivered in the chronological order of the founding of world’s three main monotheistic religions: first Judaism, then Christianity and Islam.”
This is very special!
This coming Sunday is WhitSunday/Pentecost.
Shavuot was on the 4th.
AF1 almost home
PBOs Landed
Seems he has lots to talk about :) what a trip!
yes…I was thinking the same thing…what were they talking about…hahaha
Welp, $700 later, two of our fur kids are up on shots and various other things. Still cheaper than having human kids.
Evening all!
I used to complain about the cost of health care for the cats - until I had a babe
Egg.Sack.Lee.
And 32 years along …… but lots o’ love
Think about five plus we had two human kids. Insurance paid for human kids.
And they won’t borrow the car.
My day is made - actually my WEEK is made! Pres O waved a personal goodbye to me on his departure, and he just gave me an “I’m hooome!’ wave. :) :) :) Life’s good - thank you Lord for a wonderful and meaningful trip for the POTUS (and others).
Ok all, I need your good wishes. Don’t wish to give too many details out of fear of jinxing it, but thanks to the fact that pretty much all my patrons adore me, I may have found an awesome opportunity for the missus. We’ll know more next week. Fingers crossed.
Oooooh, wishing you and Mrs LL the very, very, very, very best, Mr LL!
Thanks Chips. I was giddy all day yesterday. A bit more circumspect today, but still have a good feeling.
Wishing you both the best and sending good thoughts your way.
if this pans out, I will have a public plotzing on TOD.
LL, I have to tell you, I’ve thought of your missus many times the past week or so. My brother-in-law is dying of cancer; it’s been a two and a half yr fight and he’s at the end. My work is flexible so I’ve been taking the night shift (he’s at home), and that leaves us alone for hours. He’s barely communicative, and at times I can’t escape the analogy of caring for an infant, a very sick one, anyway. I leave after the hospice nurses come in the morning, and not being as good as they, I’m very relieved when I see them. I am now in awe of the enormous physical and emotional work they do; work that can be far too unappreciated and underpaid.
I’m sending my fervent wishes this works out for her, and will be very happy for you when it does.
Thank you so much, Kathleen.
best of luck to you both - hope this opportunity happens the way you want
Wish I could do an airport turnaround in that speed - love that he leaves the pundits waiting for the bus.
I know right? When I saw he had landed, the first thought that popped up was, “holy crap, he’s back home already? How the…what the…?!” Then I remembered Air Force One.
Can’t beat that level of travel.
Queen probably hasn’t got back to the Palace yet - this man lives in the fast lane.
I mean, does the man not have jet lag?
I fly to California and spend two weeks recovering. He is MIGHTY MAN in disguise.
In my hand right now: a Manhattan. In the oven: spanakopitas from Trader Joes.
Wait? This actually was for real?!
With this tweet, Rand Paul just announced to the US (and the world) why he will NEVER be U.S. President. Ever…
THIS!!!!!
Stirring up the hate hf - they really, really want the hate out there for all to see. The world told the likes of Rand Paul their views today - and the likes of this one couldn’t handle what they saw.
Right ON!
right there hopefruit2. That sealed it for him. He isn’t ready. Too childish.
Exactly, Hf, he just said that he is a classless lout who isn’t even qualified to be a human being, let alone a president.
NW this is so childish it isn’t even worth a response.
So, the week began with gnashing of teeth and rending of garments, and has ended, as always, with PBO on top. You’d think the other side would know the script by heart by now.
When i tuned in this morning - my exact thoughts LL - and it seems he has sent a couple of the pundits (MJ, Rand Paul) into the land of make believe - we should ditch them into the cloud at the top of the faraway tree.
Unlurking to say Hi All, I try to keep up daily but not always successful, wishing everyone a wonderful weekend. There was a website given for wake forest univ for the Maya Angelou funeral, can it please be reposted here, thanks, I notice OWN is saying Maya’s homegoing is live at 10am tomorrow Saturday is this the funeral/memorial service?
Here it is Anjo. :)
http://new.livestream.com/wfu/angelou
Anjo. Yes.
Without getting into a sermon, it is customary in the African American community to celebrate the “Homegoing” of a spirited soul whose body has transitioned to the spiritual realm returns where we were created from.
We mourn for the newborns who enter into the world because of the trials and tribulations(some more than other who lives in Red states) among racism, hate and ignorance.
We celebrate going home because we were never meant to stay here. Nobody.
Our President made reference today that we do not know how long we will stay here(paraphrasing).
So that being said, we do not die. We sleep…..
I hope this sermon which is not supposed to be a sermon helps explain the term.
It is spiritual.
POTUS is back home, I thought he wouldn’t make it back till tomorrow.
Wow, AF1 is FLY.
good trip PBO!
Good Day:-)
Thanks for all the coverage NW, Chips…What a Beautiful Day! Wherever He goes…Pres. Obama represents us well…so blessed to witness it all.. His smile brights up the globe:-)

I admit it..I feel bad when he comes back to an empty home after these long trips….Glad there’s Bo and Sunny:-)
:-) :-) :-)
Thank you, Mr.President.
Welcome home to you beautiful family.
God bless you and keep you real good. May His countenance continue to shine upon and give you PEACE.
Hi folks. Wish you were here partying with me at the 1st Midwest Music Festival. Chaka khan is on stage right now lighting us old school lovers up woot. Charlie Wilson will follow next. I’m in Heaven right now. Cheers!
Cheerssssssss….do a lil two step for me…HA!
zizi2, I wish I was there. I am a true fan of Ms. Chaka Khan and Mr. Charlie Wilson.
Have fun!
I get followed by the oddest people.
Gorgeous.
Highly recommended for Jay Carney fans:
Unfortunately, some of the best parts are cut off at the end of the above link. I don’t know why but it takes Charlie Rose a few days to post a video. I’ll bring it here when it appears. There are some very moving moments to come.
Thanks meta, my future Senator from California, for sharing this. Jay Carney is truly a gem! So full of integrity. Looking forward to see the rest of the video.
Hahahaa!! You are the sweetest.
Mr. Rand Paul, let me set up a new trade. Instead of 5 Taliban,let’s trade every single one of the racists ass do nothing Tea Republicans
