That's the reason they're called the 'occupied territories', right? I really don't understand why Israel is so important to the US though. Oh wait, country filled with religious nutcases.....
You can click into Trump's tweet to see all the kind replies sent to him, with love, from so many people. It is heartening to go to any of Trump's tweets these days and find the vast majority of replies slamming and correcting him. It's notable he does lie about nearly everything and makes up his own "facts" continually.
No, she didn't 'walk back' anything.... I read the article & quotes- she merely qualified a statement that clearly seemed a bit blunt to many people. She didn't substantially change her comment or position.

My reaction :
Somehow, I think this will irk him more than North Korea still planning to keep their nuclear program.
LEGAL immigrants. While children still separated from parents and keep in mind many of those were NOT doing anything illegal either, trying to come to the U.S. and ask for asylum. That is not fixed. Huge business for the "shelters" and "agencies" to house the children.
Simultaneously now, legal immigrants will be targeted next.
Might want to think about a different location, Mark.

Thanks for the heads-up DC,i've changed the thread header.
Canada AGAIN ,I cant believe it .
Really ? wow,it must have hit you hard then.
It's not clear what went down, other than a full blown gun battle erupting early this morning, claiming the 4 victims.
Meanwhile, shootings in Canada are a problem, but nothing compared to Chicago.
71 persons shot in that city, just last weekend. Yikes!
No @Getafix ,that's America !
It does indeed...worrying times.
Trust me, I'm a pacifist, I won't touch your guns.
But wait, you've got the world's greatest president no doubt looking very hard for a way to get gun violence under control. Okay no, America put him in office to eat hamburgers and spread geopolitically dangerous tweets all the time. Since when is a president supposed to care about his people dying, I mean, come on! *shrugs*

Regarding Chicago, I would pin most of the blame on Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who has proven to be generally useless and even harmful, slashing law enforcement positions and doing basically nothing to curb gang violence.

That's a good piece on the street-gang violence in Chicago.
"More than 70 people were shot and 12 were killed in weekend shootings, including mass shootings, with few if any arrests. And more have been shot and killed in the days since.
Why don’t people come forward? They’re afraid.
Chicago’s abysmal clearance rates for homicides — about 17 percent last year — can be traced directly to decisions made from City Hall and give the neighborhoods little confidence Emanuel can do much about the bloodshed.
“Emanuel gutted the detective division, now he’s trying to catch up, and the violence in Chicago is out of control,” Vallas told me on Tuesday. “And at some point, you have to put politics aside and you have to manage. The problem is that Emanuel is a D.C. politician, and what do they ever manage in D.C., where every decision made is political? ”"

Chicago needs a new Mayor I think. One more committed to law enforcement. A 17% homicide clearance rate is akin to giving the gangs a street License to Kill.
Chicago has always been one of the most gang violent cities in America.
Meanwhile in Toronto we are developing a similar problem, with gang shootouts spreading into the streets, but on a much less dramatic scale.
City Council has at least beefed up the police budget and detective ranks, put more cops on the streets.
Pro-active Detective work is vital to clearing murders, making arrests, gathering intelligence, keeping tabs on gangsters, rooting out suspects etc
Chicago has a lot of work to do. It seems like a return to the days of Al Capone.
With that low a murder clearance rate the corruption is probably rampant..gangs having corrupted the ranks etc
Where's Harry Callahan when you need him? Or on a less violent bent, Frank Serpico?
The Tribune article linked by @Escalus5 does reference corruption allegations.
===regarding the Fredericton shootings, it seems some loon with a long gun, decided to blow away two people and then took out the first two cops on the scene, resulting naturally in a gun battle with the follow-up responders.
A bizarre outbreak of violence. No motive reported yet or whether the victims were targeted, but the poor two dead cops got ambushed.
Probably because it's New Brunswick, where a cop could probably go their entire career without having to fire their gun.
