Subject: Chicago: Far More Dangerous Than Tuscaloosa
Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2025 23:10:13 -0500
Organization: AlleyCat Computing, Inc.
Chicago has on average, roughly 700 murders a year.
Tuscaloosa, AL? 20
Also, Tuscaloosa is nearly (41%) majority Black and is BLUE-run.
And the ONLY reason it's not higher, is because of The University of Alabama
being there. Take that away and it's going to be mostly Black and Democrat.
Mayor: Walt Maddox (D)

"Rate" is bullshit.
Tell us, even though we know you won't... would you rather walk down an inner
city ghetto street in Chicago, or one in my hometown, which has had 2 homicides
in the last 10 years?
"Rate" IS bullshit, when it comes to safety. The websites that list the "Top 20
Deadliest" or "Top 20 Safest" use that rate crap.
They never tell you the disparities in population. A city of Chicago's size is
NOT supposed to have a "proportional" number of murders, because NEIGHBORHOODS
are VASTLY different in makeup.
Chicago has a population 2,476,388. Does that mean Chicago is SUPPOSED to have
100 times the murder "rate" as a town as a town of 24,763?
No.
The demographics will be too diverse to compare, so stop saying Chicago is
safer than my hometown, JUST because the "rate" is lower.
Sorry, but we ALL actually know that that is bullshit.
Who doesn't?

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
