Sounds like an elementary school shooting was just barely prevented in suburban Plainfield, IL

At 12:50 p.m. on Friday, sheriff's deputies responded to the rural property on Helmar Lane for a suicidal juvenile. Sheriff's officials said that a relative discovered the juvenile was armed with a gun and dialed 911 while pinning the juvenile down against the ground.

Will County Sheriff's officials said the juvenile was on his way to carry out a school shooting at Grand Prairie Elementary School near the corner of Joliet's Essington Road and Caton Farm Road when the relative intervened, preventing the school shooting from happening.

The Will County Sheriff's Office announced they detained the juvenile boy and confiscated the Glock handgun he had, as well as his backpack that contained multiple loaded magazines, knives, an accelerant, gloves and more.

“The NAACP will not watch the same institutions that depend on Black athletic prowess to fill their stadiums and their bank accounts remain silent while their states strip Black communities of their voice,” NAACP National President and CEO Derrick Johnson said in a statement.

The group is urging Black recruits to withhold their commitments from a list of universities primarily in the NCAA’s Southeastern Conference. The schools are in the following states: Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Georgia. Several of the schools have nationally ranked football programs, including the University of Alabama, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Georgia and the University of Mississippi.

Reversing VRA stuff isn’t going to move the needle against this trend. Blue cities in blue states might want to try growing their economies via lowering housing costs. Good luck with that.

But I don’t think very many Ds do enough introspection about why Chicagos black population declined by something like 25% in the last 30 years and places that are “racist” (bad assumption) see their black middle class grow.

...a vibrant black middle class. Sadly, I don't know if it's culturally possible though, or if the conditions even exist to foster one.

More are moving to suburban Cook, Will and NWI.

I think because the decades of redlining, housing segregation, and disinvestment stunted the growth of a strong black middle class outside of some isolated pockets in places, the black migration you see out of Chicago, is more due to current financial and safety issues. As the city continues to gentrify, and the poor continually find their rent and taxes rise, you can't blame them for fleeing to suburbs to hopefully find more affordable housing, better schools, and a safer quality of life.

That said, I'm not sure what the quick solution to that is, considering it's taken 100+ years to sow the seeds of what we are seeing.

Further south than whatever “more rural areas” means. I’m not buying it.

South is less personally racist, more integrated (you find whites and blacks in the same work places, restaurants, youth sports, etc) than the Midwest by a mile.

Not a utopia, not perfect, by no means has it been like what this board thinks “the South” is like in the last 25 years.

Black people in the South have separate local pathways to success to a greater degree than in the north. You can be a “big man” purely in the black community in Columbus Georgia. You cannot do that in Peoria Illinois (or it’s much harder).

Don’t take my anecdotes for it alone. Blacks are moving in large numbers *back to the South*. If it was super racist with no economic opportunity they wouldn’t do that.

The “racism” shit is so overplayed in lib politics. Blacks in the South do not live like whites in the north think they live. It isn’t 1960 anymore.

I’ll also say this. I’ve never seen ruder people than how black people on the South Side treat South Asian service workers in the little sandwich shops. Like, holy cow. If you think racism is a one way street, you’re crazy.

…was the section near the end that explored the divergent fortunes of black internal migrants and the new European immigrants in northern cities, with Chicago being a main example.

The basic point is that the first generation black migrants were wealthier and better educated than the European immigrants, with both populations facing significant housing/neighborhood segregation. But Poles and Italians, etc. were able to quickly blend into the broader population because they weren’t visibly different, while anti-black racism and prejudice was more enduring, and over a generation or two left their descendants significantly behind immigrant families, and still highly segregated.

States can set rules surrounding companies that incorporate in that state, so maybe that’s what this is? If so, it won’t really do much, since the restrictions wouldn’t be binding on companies that incorporate in other states. And there will always be states that set really corporate-friendly rules in place to get more companies to incorporate locally. I think that’s why so many banks are headquartered in Delaware, for example.

One thing Massie won’t do is mount an independent candidacy for his congressional seat as some incumbents do when they lose a primary.

“Kentucky has sore loser laws, so you couldn’t run as an independent here in Kentucky,” Massie told CNN on the eve of the election. “I think that’s probably a good thing. If you fight the fight and you win the primary, then you shouldn’t have to fight the same person again.”

Trump’s plan for Iran was to install President Business Casual after the war in Iran?

Posted by ATL <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=ATL' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on May 19, 2026, 19:23:42, in reply to "Political Thread for Week of May 18"

It turns out that the United States and Israel went into the conflict with a particular and very surprising someone in mind: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the former Iranian president known for his hard-line, anti-Israel and anti-American views.

But the audacious plan, developed by the Israelis and which Mr. Ahmadinejad had been consulted about, quickly went awry, according to the U.S. officials who were briefed on it.

Mr. Ahmadinejad was injured on the war’s first day by an Israeli strike at his home in Tehran that had been designed to free him from house arrest, the American officials and an associate of Mr. Ahmadinejad said. He survived the strike, they said, but after the near miss he became disillusioned with the regime change plan.

“The victims who lost their lives yesterday were there to help others be part of a community that came together in peace,” he said. “Instead, they were confronted by teenagers who appeared to have been radicalized online to believe that they didn’t belong because of how they looked or where they worshiped. They couldn’t be more wrong.”

The suspects appear to have met online, where they discovered they both lived in the San Diego area and had “in-person contact,” Remily said. But authorites are still working to figure out how the radicalization happened, he said.

Until this past weekend, a contractor for the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) maintained a public GitHub repository that exposed credentials to several highly privileged AWS GovCloud accounts and a large number of internal CISA systems. Security experts said the public archive included files detailing how CISA builds, tests and deploys software internally, and that it represents one of the most egregious government data leaks in recent history.
---
The GitHub repository that Valadon flagged was named “Private-CISA,” and it harbored a vast number of internal CISA/DHS credentials and files, including cloud keys, tokens, plaintext passwords, logs and other sensitive CISA assets.

Valadon said the exposed CISA credentials represent a textbook example of poor security hygiene, noting that the commit logs in the offending GitHub account show that the CISA administrator disabled the default setting in GitHub that blocks users from publishing SSH keys or other secrets in public code repositories.

“Passwords stored in plain text in a csv, backups in git, explicit commands to disable GitHub secrets detection feature,” Valadon wrote in an email. “I honestly believed that it was all fake before analyzing the content deeper. This is indeed the worst leak that I’ve witnessed in my career. It is obviously an individual’s mistake, but I believe that it might reveal internal practices.”
---
CISA is currently operating with only a fraction of its normal budget and staffing levels. The agency has lost nearly a third of its workforce since the beginning of the second Trump administration, which forced a series of early retirements, buyouts, and resignations across the agency’s various divisions.

My dad never missed a Cardinal game, and he's always asking me about baseball, not understanding that I know absolutely nothing. I couldn't name a single player on the Cardinals team.
