SEND IN THE TROOPS! At Least 5 Dead, 10 Wounded So Far in Chicago Weekend Shootings

Another wave of violence and murder swept through Chicago this weekend, with at least five dead by Sunday afternoon.
At least five murders and ten shooting-related injuries had been reported as of 2:08 pm ET.
Several teens as young as 15 years old were injured. One 19-year-old and one 16-year-old were transported to the hospital in critical condition.
Per CBS News:
At least five people have been killed and 10 others have been wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago.
The ages of the victims range from 15 to 44.
In the first shooting of the weekend, a 32-year-old employee of a business in the South Loop got into an argument with a 31-year-old man in the 1300 block of South Michigan Avenue around 9:30 p.m. on Friday.
This included at least two shooting incidents on Friday, starting at 9:30 pm local time, seven on Saturday, starting at approximately 1 am, and five on Sunday, starting shortly after midnight.
In nearly all cases, nobody was taken into custody.
This comes after 58 people were shot in Chicago last weekend, leaving eight dead.
The weekend before, at least six people were killed and 27 were injured, with victims as young as five years old, in shootings.
The Trump Administration has been planning federal law enforcement operations and potential National Guard deployment in the Windy City, citing the violent crime crisis.
It was recently revealed that 200 or more Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials would be deployed in the sanctuary city of Chicago to carry out deportations. The National Guard may also be deployed as a deterrent to rioters and criminals.
President Trump pointed to the data from the last two weekends and shredded a reporter at the White House earlier, when asked why he was targeting Chicago with law enforcement actions.

"Excuse me, do you know how many people were killed in Chicago last weekend? Eight. You know how many people were killed in Chicago the week before? Seven," he said. "You know how many people were wounded? 74 people were wounded. You think there’s worse than that? I don’t think so."

Bill Gates Apologizes to His Staff for His Epstein Ties, Admits Having Affairs With Two Russian Women
Bill Gates is in an apology mode – Wiki Commons
Apologies don’t tell the whole story.
It turns out billionaire Bill Gates has made a mea culpa in front of the staff of his foundation over his Jeffrey Epstein ties, going as far as admitting having affairs with two Russian women.
But before we get into this new report, we can ask ourselves: was that all there was to it?
Because Epstein was not only a sex trafficker; he was also a power broker and fixer to the super-elites.
And over the years it’s been widely reported that Bill Gates would have associated with Jeffrey Epstein in order to pursue or leverage influence to win a Nobel Prize (often mentioned as the Peace Prize). You can find this reported in the New York Times, Fox News, UK’s The Times, People Magazine, Daily Beast, Associated Press and many other outlets.
But is this true? Take a look at this 2018 picture:

It shows Bill Gates, Terje Rød-Larsen, Jeffrey Epstein, Gates advisor Boris Nikolic and Thorbjørn Jagland.
The former diplomat and politician Terje Rød-Larsen was at that time the president of the International Peace Institute.
And Thorbjørn Jagland is a former prime minister of Norway, and up until 2015, he was the chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. At the time that this picture was taken, Jagland was the secretary general of the Council of Europe.

THIS is the kind of connections Gates was reportedly seeking, much more than any Russian girls.

People reported:
“Bill Gates this week admitted to having two affairs with Russian women while married to Melinda French Gates and apologized to staff at his charity for his past ties to sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein — while maintaining he was not part of anything “illicit.”
‘I did nothing illicit. I saw nothing illicit’, the billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder said in a town hall for his Gates Foundation on Tuesday, Feb. 24, according to a recording reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.”
The event was reportedly a previously scheduled townhall with employees.
“Bill answered questions submitted by foundation staff on a range of issues, including the release of the Epstein files, the foundation’s work in AI, and the future of global health.
[…] Scrutiny has been renewed around Gates’ past ties to Epstein — who died in federal custody in 2019 after being accused of human trafficking — because a trove of documents released by the U.S. Justice Department showed draft emails Epstein wrote himself in which he accused Gates, 70, of contracting a sexually transmitted infection from ‘Russian girls’ and then asking for Epstein’s help in order to hide it from his then-wife.”

“FBI LA confirms they are currently executing search warrants at two addresses, which a separate federal law enforcement source tells @FoxNews are the home and office of Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho. LAUSD is the 2nd biggest school district in the country,” Fox News reporter Bill Melugin said.
“We are told the underlying affidavit in support of the search warrant is under seal, so it’s unclear what potential wrongdoing Carvalho may be suspected of,” Melugin said.
