MONROE, N.C. (AP) — A teenager who held up a North Carolina lemonade stand for $17 was still at large Monday, and authorities said they hoped to track him through surveillance footage and possible DNA and fingerprint tests.

Neighbors were asked to check their home security cameras for possible clues, said Union County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Tony Underwood. He said a camouflage hat and BB pistol found along with a metal cash box was found in some nearby woods and could be checked for fingerprints and DNA. The 9-year-old lemonade vendor said a teenager wearing a similar hat and a black shirt pointed a black handgun at him and took his cash box Saturday afternoon in Monroe, about 30 miles southeast of Charlotte.  Continue reading “Lemonade stand robber on the run; DNA could help track him”

What was Iraq like before U.S. invasion for humanitarian reasons? Safe enough for any American to visit! What was Libya like before Obama bombed it without congressional or public approval? All the refugees stopped there, were welcomed. Now they are being sold as slaves and the whole country is in chaos. What does Donald Trump really know and what is being kept from him about what is really happening in the Middle East? Will he have to turn to alternative media to learn what is happening among the anti-Trump employees that still number in the hundreds? Has he brought back the purged commanders who didn’t pass the Obama litmus test? Only time and actions will reveal what is real…  Continue reading “The Rothschild Syria Connection – Major Revelations”

The Phoenix Police Department set a new record last month and—it was not for the cutest lip sync challenge. PPD officers have shot 31 citizens this year, tying the record set for shootings in one year, and it is only August!

The officer-involved shooting record will undoubtedly be broken, and soon, if the law of averages holds true. Phoenix city leaders are concerned, even commissioning a new study to investigate why the number of officer-involved shootings has seemingly skyrocketed past previous years.   Continue reading “Police Dept.

Nearly a third of property tax revenue in Chicago is diverted into 143 TIF districts controlled by the mayor, nearly half of which are located in affluent neighborhoods.

Tax increment financing, or TIF, districts in Cook County generated a record $1 billion in 2017, up nearly 18 percent from 2016, according to the Cook County clerk. Chicago accounted for most of these gains by generating $660 million, an 18 percent increase from 2016. As long as these TIF districts exist, however, struggling school districts in those districts won’t see a dime of this revenue. This comes at a time when Cook County and Chicago face budget shortfalls up to $95 million and $812 million, respectively, by 2020.   Continue reading “Chicago Funnels A Third Of Property Taxes To Mayor-Managed Slush Funds”
