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."

A Palm Beach, Florida, elections volunteer was arrested for stealing computer equipment encrypted access key ahead of a special election where a Democrat won by 800 votes.

John Panicci was arrested on Friday for taking sensitive computer equipment and other supplies on March 19 ahead of the March 24 special election.

As previously reported, a Democrat flipped a Florida state house district that includes President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

Emily Gregory won state house district 87 in last Tuesday night’s special election.

President Trump won this district by 11 points in 2024.

Last Monday, ahead of the election, President Trump endorsed Republican Jon Maples for state house district 87.

However, Emily Gregory defeated Republican Jon Maples last Tuesday night.

NBC Miami reported:

A man accused of stealing election computer equipment in Palm Beach County was arrested on Saturday, authorities said.

John Panicci was charged with taking damaged computer equipment, supplies/electronic devices.

According to detectives, on Friday, they arrived at the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Office after receiving reports that sensitive computer equipment had been stolen.

During their investigation, detectives said that on March 19, the Elections Office was doing a training session for volunteers who were going to help with the election scheduled on March 24.

Detectives said that during the training session, Panicci stole an encrypted access key from a voter registration terminal.

The key that Panacci allegedly took was programmed only for the training databases, but there were concerns that if someone else could reverse engineer the encryption, they could then use it on a voter registration kiosk for malicious purposes.

Victor Reacts: This Is Sick, Predatory, Disgusting Behavior by Minnesota Democrats (VIDEO)

Young man discussing the impact of early exposure to pornography on adolescents, highlighting statistics about boys and girls at critical developmental ages.

Children are often exposed to pornographic content between ten and thirteen years old.

How is that possible?

Children cannot buy firearms, alcohol, or even spray paint.

So why are so many children exposed to such graphic adult content?

Because of things like this.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

Every single Minnesota House Democrat voted against a bill that would have required age verification on pornographic websites to protect children from watching or accessing explicit online content.

The vote on House File 1434 ended in a 67-67 tie on Thursday, with all 67 Republicans supporting the measure and all 67 Democrats opposing it.

The tie killed the bill.

The legislation would have mandated that commercial websites where 25 percent or more of the content consists of material harmful to minors verify that users are at least 18 years old before granting access.

The bill defines “harmful to minors” based on standards lacking serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for youth.

It included protections for data privacy and enforcement mechanisms through the attorney general and private lawsuits by parents.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, during a debate about the bill, Democrat State Representative Leigh Finke, the state’s first openly transgender legislator, voiced strong opposition, claiming porn can be “educational” for queer kids.

Finke claimed that the vague definition of “prurient interest” could be interpreted to include “the very existence of transgender kids.”

Intentionally allowing children to be exposed to this content is sick, predatory, and disgusting.

The left appears hellbent on destroying the innocence of children. Parents everywhere should take note.
