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."

US Reportedly in Secret Talks With Denmark to Significantly Boost Military Presence in Greenland

The US National Security concerns about the Arctic will be addressed, one way or another.

And so, we’ve come to the point where a lot seems to have changed regarding the situation of the Arctic island of Greenland.

On the one hand, Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called snap elections, trying to use her resistance to Donald J. Trump’s designs on Greenland to guarantee another term, but in the end, she had the worst voting for her dominant party in a century.

So, now Frederiksen has renounced and is working as a caretaker PM, while she negotiates with other parties, hoping to remain at the helm.

Meanwhile, the US is involved in a high-stakes military operation in Iran, and Trump has told anyone who’ll listen that ‘Cuba is next’ – so, maybe this is not the ideal moment to seize Greenland and deal with the potential military reaction by former Euro-Globalist ‘allies’.

So, perhaps it is not so surprising that the US began ‘secret talks’ with Denmark to ‘increase its military presence’ in Greenland.

Washington is reportedly seeking access to three bases to set up airfields and ports.

The Telegraph reported:

“The talks are being held under a 1951 defense pact between Denmark and the United States that allows the latter to build and expand military sites in Greenland, a Danish overseas territory.”

“Pituffik Space Base is currently the sole US military base in Greenland, on its north-west coast. Operating since the 1951 US-Denmark treaty, it is central to the US early warning and missile defense as well as space surveillance.

Lt-Cdr Teresa C Meadows, a US Northern Command spokesman, said the US wished to expand bases near the southern town of Narsarsuaq and Kangerlussuaq, in the western region.”

Another TDS Meltdown: James Carville Makes Ominous Promise-After Mid-terms, Democrats Will Go After Trump’s ‘Kids and Their Spouses’ (Video)

Longtime Democrat strategist James Carville, fresh from a recent insane TDS-induced meltdown, has issued an ominous promise to President Trump and his family. After the midterms, Democrats will go after Trump’s ‘stupid jackass kids and their spouses.’

Carville also fantasized about violence against the President.

Carville made the threat on his podcast “Politicon.”

“Listen to me, Trump,” he warned. “I’m gonna tell your fat fucking ass something. You’re getting ready to get the living crap kicked out of you. You don’t know, because they haven’t really told you.”

“Let me tell you something. They’re gonna, they’re gonna start breaking the news to you kind of gently. And you’re gonna sit there and wonder what it feels like to be punched in the mouth by Mike Tyson. But you won’t know. Because it’s quite one thing to imagine what it’s like to get punched in the mouth by Mike Tyson. It’s another thing to actually get punched in the mouth by Mike Tyson.”

“And that’s what’s going to happen to you in November.”

“Now let me tell you about, let’s talk about your future, your post-November future.”

“First, people are not going to return your phone calls. They’re going to correctly think you’re yesterday. Yeah, you, they’ll say, ‘Well, he’s got two years left., He can do damage. No one gives a shit about him.'”

“The Democrats are going to investigate you to no end.”

“I would like to introduce you to Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island, because it is a lot of people’s view. By the way, Congressman Jeffers and Senator Schumer, they’re going to go down to the White House on November 10th, and then you’re going to have some stiff photo of them sitting there talking about collegiality and cooperation.Don’t believe that bullshit.”

“Then they’re gonna start going after you. Then they’re gonna start figuring out where all the money stolen is.”

“Then they’re gonna go after your stupid jackass kids and their spouses and all the other bullshit that you see. And they’re gonna investigate the shit out of you.”

“And then when it comes to this stuff you’re doing in Iran, I gotta tell you, you’re getting really, really, really close to war crimes here. You’re probably going to cross the line.”

“And the one thing that Democrats are going to insist on in the 2028 election is that if you’re indicted by the international courts, and I think it’s in The Hague or somewhere in the Netherlands, we’re not going to protect your ass…not going to protect you.”

“Understand that.”

“Then it’s all going to come, and they’re all going to turn on you.”

“And you know who’s going to turn on you? What’s left of the Republican senators, there may be 43 to 45 of them left. Now, the House is going to vote to impeach you. You’re going to be impeached in 2027.”

President Trump on Thursday released a statement on Bondi’s ousting from the Justice Department.

It was reported on Thursday that Pam Bondi was fired as US Attorney General.

Fox News reported that Pam Bondi met with President Trump on Wednesday night before his Iran speech and was terminated last night.

According to reports, Trump was not happy with Bondi’s leadership at the Department of Justice.

Bondi has reportedly already flown back to her home in Florida.

Trump has reportedly discussed replacing Bondi with EPA Chief Lee Zeldin.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will serve as Acting Attorney General.

“Pam Bondi led this Department with strength and conviction and I’m grateful for her leadership and friendship,” Blanche said in a statement.

“Thank you to President Trump for the trust and the opportunity to serve as Acting Attorney General,” Blanche said.

“We will continue backing the blue, enforcing the law, and doing everything in our power to keep America safe,” he added.

Fox News reporter Peter Doocy said there is no “bad blood” between Bondi and Trump.

On Thursday afternoon, President Trump released a statement on Bondi’s firing.

“Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year. Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

President Trump said Bondi’s new job in the private sector will be announced in the near future.

“We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future, and our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP” Trump said.
