Rahm Emanuel

second amendment of The Bill of Rights is the “right to bear arms”, and was passed by Congress in March 1789. After recent tragic events in our country the controversy surrounding the Second Amendment is just as debatable as ever. It reminds me of a Rahm Emanuel quote I learned in Government class, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste.” But with popular conversations, I believe that we should consider the fact that our founding fathers put this in The Bill of Rights for a reason. They should consider

Since taking office in 2011, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, has continually made promises to put additional police officers on the streets to help reduce the number of violent crimes plaguing the city. Many of those officers, he promised, would come from desk positions within the department which could then be filled by civilians. During his quest for re-election in 2015, he asserted that his administration had kept his vow of putting 1,000 additional officers on the street, with many of them coming

Living in Chicago, Illinois the third biggest city in America one is blessed with the ability to see a lot of different aspects of life. Chicago is said to be the most segregated city in America (cbslocal.com). Almost every neighborhood of a different race in Chicago is divided by a viaduct, viaduct basically separate areas of different racial backgrounds. It does not matter if you are talking about the area in Chicago known as Chinatown and the bronzeville neighborhood on the city’s south side to

Police brutality is extremely prevalent in today’s society. Police brutality is a police officer deliberately using excessive force, psychological attacks, and verbal abuse during law enforcement activities with the population. This unjust brutality is fueled from law enforcement taking action based on emotion or abusing the authority that has been given to them from the government. These actions are causing people, primarily minority groups, to rebel against law enforcement, and inexcusably create

during a meeting Chicago Public Schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard vowed to add 90 minutes to each school day and two weeks to the school year by the fall of 2012. (Erbentraut J. 2011) The Chicago Public School board, CPS teachers’ union and Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel need to take into consideration the effects that lengthening the school day by an additional 90 minutes will have on students, parents, teachers, and the school community. Lengthening the school day will have several negative

Without a doubt, the Greek theatre remains one of the most recognized and distinctive works in the world. While we associate many features of modern theatre with their Greek counterparts, ancient theatre was a very different animal. You will be surprised at how much Ancient Greece has influenced us today. Without such topics such as drama, democracy and the Olympics coming from Ancient Greece, sport would not be important. Drama was a huge part of ancient Greece. Theatre then became extremely popular

Should education be really subsidized in the United States? Having a free education has always been a controversy in America. Free education is defined as education funded through taxation or charitable organizations rather than tuition funding. Many models of free higher education have been proposed.

Even so Keef still has record labels running to sign him. My point is he does have a past but ever since music has gotten serious he’s been straightening up, but he’s not squeaky clean. Chicago mayor, Rahm Emanuel, shut down a benefit show for the family of Dillan Harris, a one-year-old who was recently killed by a hit-and-run driver on the South Side of Chicago. Granted Keef has outstanding warrants he was performing via hologram and it was for a good cause

promise rich benefits they have no idea how to pay for. On top of that, many public pension funds have allowed themselves to be fleeced by fancy hedge-fund managers who charged sky-high fees for miserable returns. Chicago’s deeply unpopular mayor, Rahm Emanuel, is at war with the teachers’ union over costs and pensions, to little effect. Chicago’s bonds are rated as junk, so his only recourse to help pay the bills is to hike taxes and fees on already overtaxed

What is the Left offering? Unfortunately, not much, just the old catchphrase, "movement building." Yet, most leftists, particularly leftist writers, have no idea how to build movements, nor do they know what sort of movements they wish to build. Year after year, day after day, I read the same simplistic analyses during election season: "Howard Zinn said that it's more important who's sitting in, than who's in the White House!" Again, this is a false dichotomy. Here, the Left is confused. In the
