Chicago Nuns sue strip club
STONE PARK, Ill. – A determined convent of nuns in Chicago have filed suit against a strip club they say plays disturbing music while they try to pray.
The nuns of St. Charles have named Club Allure Chicago and the village of Stone Park in their suit which was filed Friday in Cook County Circuit Court.
According to the suit, the sisters have seen “public violence, drunkenness and litter, including empty whiskey and beer bottles, discarded contraceptive packages and products and even used condoms,”. The lawsuit also mentions the “pulsating and rhythmic staccato-beat noise and flashing neon and or strobe lights” that disturb the nuns.
“Our sisters’ sacred space has been invaded,” according to Sister Noemia Silva. “At night now they hear the music when they’re praying. That’s uncalled for.”
According to attorney Peter Breen of the Thomas More Society, a Chicago-based public interest law firm representing the convent, the sisters have a right to pray and work peacefully without interference.
However the Stone Park Village Attorney Dean Krone states that the village has acted legally and reasonably and the club manager, Robert Itzkow says that the nuns are not being very neighborly. In speaking with WMAQ-TV he states “We spent an awful lot of money to make sure that this kind of thing would not occur,”… “The whole thing is just a question of `we don’t like you; you don’t conform to our religious beliefs.”‘
Itzkow stated the club’s dancers “aren’t monsters. They’re daughters; they’re mothers, and some of them are Catholics too.”
WITH THE STRONGEST GUN LAWS IN THE COUNTRY 446 SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN SHOT IN CHICAGO SO FAR THIS YEAR! THE MEDIA SAYS NOTHING! WHERE ARE THE TEARS?
FACTS ARE FACTS ! WAKE UP !!
The cesspool known as Chicago probably has the toughest gun laws in the country, yet despite all the shootings, murders, and bloodshed, you never hear a peep about this from the corrupt state run media.
In Chicago, there have been 446 school age children shot in this leftist utopia run by Rahm Emanuel; the same city that produced Obama, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, etc. 62 school aged children have actually been killed by crazed nuts in Chicago so far this year with almost two weeks to go. So why isn’t this news worthy?
Is it because it would embarrass those anti second amendment nuts who brag about Chicago’s tough gun laws? Is it because most of the kids who were shot and killed were minorities? Or is it because the corrupt media doesn’t want to show Chicago in a bad light? Amazingly, no Obama crocodile tears either.
For those of you too dense to get the point of this, it’s to make the point about gun laws. No matter how tough the gun laws are, the crazed, nut jobs will find a way to get them and if they so chose, use them. No draconian law can stop this, no matter how well intentioned the law is.
This is really just about leftists grabbing power from citizens and taking away their constitutional rights of self defense.
The killing is caused by the moral decay of the citizens of our country. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people!

From the Desk of Donald Trump: “I have a deal for the President that he can’t refuse”
American billionaire, Donald Trump, today offered Barack Obama a check for $5 million to his choice of charities, if he would show his college and passport records.
“We know very little about our president… President Obama is the least transparent president in the history of this country” Trump stated. “I have a deal for the president. If Barack Obama opens up and gives his college records and applications, and if he gives his passport applications and records, I will give to a charity of his choice – inner city children in Chicago, American Cancer Society, AIDS research – anything he wants – a check immediately for $5 million,”
Trump states he wants to end the question….. and anger of “many Americans”, presumably about the status of Barack Obama’s eligibility for Presidency.

Chick-fil-A vs gay marriage: how a chicken restaurant became a culture war battleground – Telegraph Blogs
The mayor of Chicago and now the mayor of San Francisco have both said the fast food chain Chick Fil A are no longer welcome in their cities.
This has come after the founder of Chick-Fil-A announced that he supported biblical views on the family and was against gay marriage.

Chick-fil-A fallout over corporate statement
Chick-fil-A… “We are very much supportive of the family – the biblical definition of the family unit,” and “…treat every person with honor, dignity and respect — regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender.”
Reaction by some has been swift and furious.
Roseanne Barr released a mostly unprintable tweet saying in part, that people who eat “antibiotic filled tortured chickens 4Christ… deserves to get the cancer that is sure to come.”
Proco “Joe” Morena, a Chicago City Alderman states that he will block any attempt by the chain from opening in his district stating that Chick-fil-A’s president Dan Cathy is “guilty as charged… If you are discriminating against a segment of the community, I don’t want you in the 1st Ward.” and that Cathy’s comments were “bigoted, homophobic.”
Rahm Emmanuel followed similarly with “Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values. They disrespect our fellow neighbors and residents. This would be a bad investment, since it would be empty.”
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino also does not want a Chick-fil-A in his city.
Jim Henson Co. the Muppets creator, has broken out of a partnership with Chick-fil-A.

Union bosses could be saying “They just don’t get us! They don’t get who we are!”
The average teacher earns about $44,000 while their senior level bosses earn about $500,000. This is rubbing some teachers the wrong way.
Not only are teachers being given pay freezes and/or facing layoffs, but they are also supporting union leadership salaries that have increased, 20% last year alone.
Take Randi Weingarten, the head of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). Between 2010 and 2011. Her salary increased to just over $400,000. Or, Dennis Van Roekel, head of the National Education Association (NEA), his pay went to a little over $360,000.
In addition, when you include the stipends and other reimbursed expenses, their real take home pay would be in the order of $493,859 and $460,060 respectively.
The higher pay is not isolated to these two either. An addition, 600 employees at the AFT and NEA take home over $100,000 according to Gary Beckner, the Association of American Educators Executive Director.
When you therefore compare teachers salaries to executives of unions there is about a 10 fold increase.
The relationship with unions, our current economy, Chicago style politics, a mob type environment or mentality has been explained in detail recently by prophet.tv.

Politicians, police join thousands in march for gay pride in San Francisco
For the 42nd year the gay pride parade was held in San Francisco. Police officers and politicians were associated with rainbow flags and banners as the city celebrated the community of the lesbian, gay and transgender lifestyle.
Market Street, the main street in the city, saw over 200 floats.
Some parade participants were dressed in bright outfits made of balloons and some participants and parade watchers wore barely anything.
Mayor Ed Lee was to speak at the Civic Center close by the parade’s end area. He’ll be located around the same area as the infamous gay rights activist and San Francisco City Supervisor Harvey Milk addressed gay pride celebrants a little over 30 years ago.
Organizers of San Francisco’s weekend events stated that this is the largest LGBT gathering in the nation. However, thousands also celebrated in Chicago and New York City.
Illinois Attorney General joins in the fight for gay marriage
In a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of a ban on same sex marriage Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan (D) has officially sided with the plaintiffs’. After Cook County refused to issue marriage licences to same-sex couples, a group of couples came together to file a lawsuit against Cook County. Madigan has filed papers joining the lawsuit.
Madigan, as attorney general, is meant to uphold the state law. By denouncing the state’s law it begs to question, who will be arguing on behalf of the law? As in the case of Proposition 8 in California, when Attorney General Jerry Brown (D) opposed the state’s constitution to legalise same-sex marriage (despite a state referendum upholding Proposition 8), are we again seeing one individual using their position to change the definition of marriage for all?
In California the legality of Proposition 8 was upheld, there were those in place who could oppose Jerry Brown’s plan. However, in Illinois there is no credible force to fight for marriage. The state’s legislature is controlled by democrats, who overwhelmingly support same-sex marriage, and the Speaker of the House is Michael Madigan, Lisa Madigan’s father.
The details of the case are taken from MetroWeekly:
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan (D) will be joining Lambda Legal and the ACLU in arguing that Illinois’s civil unions law does not meet the state’s constitutional guarantees of equal protection, raising the question of what the Cook County clerk of courts — the named defendant — will do in its response to the lawsuits.
The move came just two days after Lambda Legal and the ACLU each filed lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the civil union law.
In a pair of June 1 filings in Darby v. Orr and Lazaro v. Orr, which were reviewed by Metro Weekly, the attorney general’s office has requested to intervene in the cases, which it says is appropriate because state law permits a court to allow the state to intervene when the validity of a state law is at issue. The Attorney General’s Office is not requesting to intervene to defend the laws, however, which is the usual reason for such intervention.
In the requests, Madigan writes, “Petitioner respectfully requests the right to intervene in this case to present the Court with arguments that explain why the challenged statutory provisions do not satisfy the guarantee of equality under the Illinois Constitution.”
On June 25, the Attorney General’s Office will make the request to intervene in Darby, which was brought by Lambda Legal. On June 26, the office will make the intervention request in Lazaro, which was brought by the ACLU.
The move sets up the unusual question of who will be defending the law in the lawsuits. Although the named defendant is Cook County Clerk of Courts David Orr (D) (who is represented in legal challenges by Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez (D)), Madigan is the chief legal officer of the state and her view that the state law is unconstitutional is significant.
