SNARED: AG Barr Announces 1,000 Arrested, 200 Charged With Federal Crimes In Operation Legend Sweep

SNARED: AG Barr Announces 1,000 Arrested, 200 Charged With Federal Crimes In Operation Legend Sweep. This is the way you get around Soros bought District Attorneys who give these people a get out of jail free card and do-nothing idiot blue mayors. Hopefully some idiot Obama judges won’t release them.

At least 60 offenders have been charged in Chicago alone, Barr reported, according to the city’s NBC affiliate. Roughly 150 agents have been operating in Chicago since early July, added to the city’s existing crime prevention infrastructure.

“Sixteen [defendants] have been charged with federal charges in Albuquerque, 32 in Cleveland, 22 in Detroit, 11 in Milwaukee, 15 in St. Louis, and 7 in Memphis, Tenn.,” Fox News added.

Democrat Detroit city council member pays $68 in property taxes, neighbors pay $6000

You'd be smiling, too, if your property taxes were only $68 per year.
You'd be smiling, too, if your property taxes were only $68 per year.

The Detroit Free Press reports that a member of the city council pays just $68 in annual property taxes on her Tudor style home, although neighbors in comparable homes pay $2000-6000.

As you might expect, JoAnn Watson’s a Democrat, but that fact is conveniently omitted from the Detroit Free Press article.

The story gets even more laughable when JoAnn Watson attempts to explain why her taxes are so low.

“I’ve been a target of a smear campaign,” Watson insisted. “… I pay my bills and whatever I was billed, I paid.”

“I pay the taxes. All I know is I had a big drop when my house got hit hard by a tornado,” Watson said. “We had great damage.”

Watson claims her home suffered roof and foundation damage, but the Free Press notes that she never filed an insurance claim.

When did the tornado hit? Well, that’s where Watson’s story gets a tad hazy. She said it might have been 1993. Or it might have been 2002. Who knows?

Watson is a past winner of Detroit’s “Women’s Equality Day Lifetime Achievement Award.” But property taxes were obviously not included in that equality thing.

Detroit has more registered voters than residents, an inspiration to other liberal cities

You may have died in 1979, but that doesn't mean you can't vote for a Democrat in 2009.
You may have died in 1979, but that doesn't mean you can't vote for a Democrat in 2009.
Detroit election officials have confirmed what an analysis of census and population records shows: Motown has more registered voters over the age of 18 than it has residents in the same age group.

Detroit’s current population is estimated to be about 853,000. That includes 603,000 people over 18, which is about 30,000 fewer than the city’s total of registered voters over 18.

Sadly, those phantom voters do not pay taxes. They’re just too damn busy voting.

Associated Press thinks Michael Moore’s opinion is 2.1 times more important than Ted Nugent’s

ted_nugent1 The Associated Press makes it pretty clear where they come down politically. In fact, they couldn’t disguise it if they tried.

Take Saturday’s AP story on Detroit, for example. They asked three homegrown Detroit celebrities – Michael Moore, Ted Nugent, and Mary Wilson – about the city’s troubles.

They lead off with liberal fantasy moviemaker Moore, giving him seven paragraphs and 204 words. Yet conservative Motor City Madman Nugent merits only two paragraphs and 96 words (previous article). Even politically unannounced former Supreme Wilson tops that with four paragraphs and 104 words. The story even allowed Moore a chance to promote his new “documentary,” but mentioned no current or future projects from Nugent nor Wilson.

We’d like to propose a debate between the Moore and Nugent. A ten round debate. Mary Wilson can be the ring girl. Sell tickets. Bingo. Detroit’s financial problems are solved.

Mortgage your house. Put the money on Nugent.

We’re geniuses.
