New
census statistics show the Hispanic population grew by 17,000 in a
one-year period. For the first time, Hispanics are the second-largest
ethnic group in the city.
Meanwhile, the African-American population is shrinking, with 42,000 moving out.
In Little Village, it’s not hard to spot the influence and heritage. At Dulcelandia, a candy store, sales and the number of customers have increased since the business opened in 1995.
This would seem to reflect new U.S. Census data showing the
Hispanic population in Chicago jumping from 786,000 to 803,000 between
2015 and 2016.
This means about 30 percent of the Windy City’s population is now of Hispanic or Latino descent.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

DACA IS NO LONGER A BAKA WORD AS THE GOP POTUS TRUMP CROSSES OVER THE LINE TO NEGOTIATE A DEAL WITH THE DEMOCRATS CHUCK SCHUMER AND NANCY PELOSI, WHILST THE GOP LEADERSHIP DID NOT WANT TO TOUCH THIS HOT POTATO, DACA'S DREAMS AND HOPES IS ALIVE TO BE LEGISLATED INTO LAW FOR THE PATH TO US CITIZENSHIP
The top House and Senate Democrats said Wednesday they had reached
agreement with President Donald Trump to protect thousands of younger
immigrants from deportation and fund some border security enhancements —
not including Trump’s long-sought border wall.
The deal announced by Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi following a White House dinner would enshrine protections for the nearly 800,000 immigrants brought illegally to this country as kids who had benefited from former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program. The program provided temporary work permits and protection from deportation.
Trump ended the program earlier this month and had given Congress six months to come up with a legislative fix before the statuses of the so-called “Dreamers” begin to expire.
“We agreed to enshrine the protections of DACA into law quickly, and to work out a package of border security, excluding the wall, that’s acceptable to both sides,” Pelosi and Schumer said in a joint statement.
It was the second time in two weeks that Trump cut out Republicans to reach a deal with Pelosi and Schumer. A person briefed on the meeting, who demanded anonymity to discuss it, said the deal specifies bipartisan legislation called the DREAM Act that provides eventual citizenship for the young immigrants.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but said in its own statement that the president had had “a constructive working dinner” with Schumer, Pelosi and administration officials “to discuss policy and legislative priorities,” including DACA.
“This is a positive step toward the President’s strong commitment to bipartisan solutions for the issues most important to all Americans,” the White House said.
During a White House meeting with moderate House members from both parties earlier Wednesday, Trump had urged lawmakers to come up with a bipartisan solution.
“We don’t want to forget DACA,” Trump told the members at the meeting. “We want to see if we can do something in a bipartisan fashion so that we can solve the DACA problem and other immigration problems.”

HWASONG -14 ICBM PROJECTED DISTANCE TO REACH CHICAGO - ALL DUE TO THE KIM OF N KOREA MANIACAL IDIALISM OF MAINTAINING ULTIMATE COMMUNIST POWER OVER THE HERMIT KINGDOM - MISSILES TECHNOLOGY GIFTED BY THE RUSSIAN
Developmental models
The Hwasong-12, Musudan and
Pukguksong missiles form part of a new generation of Kim Jong Un's
developmental weapons that appeared at a military parade in April. The
missiles, all now successfully tested, are pushing the boundaries of
North Korea's current technological capabilities.
First tested on July 4, 2017. The second test flight on July 28, 2017 indicates a potential range of over 10,000km.
Kim’s rocket stars
After a successful missile launch, Kim Jong Un is often seen exchanging smiles, hugs and a celebratory cigarette with the same three men. The three, shown with Kim in photographs and TV footage in North Korean media, are of the key figures behind the country’s rapidly accelerating missile programme and of great interest to Western security and intelligence agencies.http://graphics.straitstimes.com/STI/STIMEDIA/Interactives/2017/08/north-korea-missile-programme-reuters/index.html
A VIKING WARRIOR GRAVE SIGHT DISCOVERED PROVES WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT WOMEN WERE LEADER WARRIORS - AN EXAMPLE OF XENA THE WARRIOR PRINCESS - AS THE BIRKA GRAVE BJ 581 REVEALS
“At Birka, grave Bj 581 was brought forward as an example of an elaborate high-status male warrior grave,” the study reads. “This image of the male warrior in a patriarchal society was reinforced by research traditions and contemporary preconceptions. Hence, the biological sex of the individual was taken for granted.”
Until now.
“What we have studied was not a Valkyrie from the sagas but a real life military leader, that happens to be a woman,” says the leader of the Stockholm and Uppsala Universities study, Charlotte Hedenstierna-Jonson.
The burial was made near the Viking town of Birka in the mid 10th Century. Isotope analysis of her teeth reveals she had been a roamer — moving all about northern Europe in keeping with the legendary Viking wanderlust.
The notion of a Viking warrior woman is not new. Mention is found in Nordic tradition.
