Gun control – the liberals’ rules to keep law abiding citizens from protecting themselves and their families. As for the criminals, picking up illegal firearms is just about as easy as going to the grocery store for bread. But wait, with strict liberal gun control how is this happening. At least 50 people were shot, five fatally, over the weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago. ABC 7 reported that the shootings began about 6 p.m. Friday and continued until just before midnight Sunday. A 12-year-old boy and numerous teens were among the wounded. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the 12-year-old was shot in the leg just after 8 p.m. Saturday night, while with a “group of males in the 6400 block of South Ellis Avenue.” A 16-year-old was shot just before midnight Friday while standing outside “in the 4400 block of South Hermitage Avenue.” He was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound to his hip. Another 16-year-old was shot Saturday night around 10 p.m. as he “stood outside in the 500 block of East 47th Street.” He was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg. ABC 7 reports the first fatal shooting of the weekend occurred just after 8 p.m. Friday, when a 48-year-old man who had been fatally shot was discovered “in West Pullman on the Far South Side.” The next fatality was a 28-year-old fatally shot just after 11 p.m., followed by an 18-year-old who was fatally shot Saturday night just before 10:30 p.m, and a man in his mid-20’s found “unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a vehicle at 5:05 a.m.” Sunday.

The news comes as speculation has swirled that Trump could pardon former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, who leaked classified documents that damaged U.S. national security. “On flight back from Wisconsin, Pres Trump told press pool he would be issuing a pardon on Tuesday to someone ‘very very important,’ but said it was not Michael Flynn or Edward Snowden,” CBS News correspondent Mark Knoller tweeted. “Might see it as a way to detract attention from Democratic Convention speeches slamming him.” The possibility of pardoning Snowden comes after Trump was asked by a reporter last week, “Do you want to give Edward Snowden a pardon and bring him back? “Well I’m going to look at it,” Trump responded. “I mean, I’m not that aware of the Snowden situation, but I’m going to start looking at it. There are many, many people. It seems to be a split decision. There are many people think that he should be somehow treated differently, and other people think he did very bad things. And I’m going to take a very good look at it. I mean, I’ve seen people that are very conservative and very liberal and they agree on the same issue. They agree both ways. I’m going to take a look at that very strongly, Edward Snowden.” [More Here]( [Awesome](mailto:contact@salliratrader.com?subject=Awesome&body=Send%20me more 🙂) [Not so good](mailto:contact@salliratrader.com?subject=Not so good&body=You can do better 🙂) [crazy] Those pesky Russians. The Poseidon is a high performance US technical platform shared with our close British Allies. The British Royal Air Force (RAF) P-8 Poseidon Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) has concluded a monitoring mission to shadow Russia’s Vasily Bykov ship in the North Sea. P-8A Poseidon, from 120 Squadron based at Kinloss Barracks in Scotland, demonstrated its speed and readiness during its first operational mission. The aircraft concluded a prolonged overwatch of the Russian ship passing through the North Sea. P-8 Poseidon Maritime Patrol Aircraft was supported by RAF Lossiemouth-based Typhoon fighters and the RAF Brize Norton-based VIP Voyager refuelling aircraft. UK Minister of State for Defence Baroness Goldie said: “In an increasingly unstable world of persistent challenge and competition, it is important that the UK Armed Forces possess cutting edge technology to meet threats wherever they emerge. “The sight of our new Poseidon aircraft, working in concert with the Royal Navy, has showcased the UK’s readiness to defend its waters from any incursion.” The P-8 Poseidon aircraft has a combination of tracking options and associated weapons to detect surface and sub-surface vessels.
