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."

President Trump GOES OFF on “Rigged” Virginia Election

Published

on

By

President Trump on Wednesday called out the rigged Virginia election.

On Tuesday evening, Virginia voters passed the redistricting referendum that will benefit Democrats and disenfranchise millions of Virginia independents and Republicans.

“The ballot measure gives the Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature — rather than the state’s current nonpartisan commission — temporary redistricting power through the 2030 election. It could result in a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in Virginia’s congressional delegation, up from their current 6-5 edge,” Fox New reported.

Virginia’s radical Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger lied on the campaign trail and said that she would not support gerrymandering and the congressional redistricting referendum.

Trump said Tuesday night’s Virginia election was rigged.

The President also said the language on he referendum was “purposely unintelligible and deceptive.”

President Trump’s full statement:

A RIGGED ELECTION TOOK PLACE LAST NIGHT IN THE GREAT COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA!

All day long Republicans were winning, the Spirit was unbelievable, until the very end when, of course, there was a massive “Mail In Ballot Drop!”

Where have I heard that before — And the Democrats eked out another Crooked Victory! Six to five goes to ten to one, and yet the Presidential Election in November was very close to a 50-50 split.

In addition to everything else, the language on the Referendum was purposefully unintelligible and deceptive.

As everyone knows, I am an extraordinarily brilliant person, and even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about in the Referendum, and neither do they!

Let’s see if the Courts will fix this travesty of “Justice.” President DONALD J. TRUMP

A convicted murderer has been arrested after sending unhinged, violent threats to outgoing Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, including explicit calls for ICE agents to be “executed right there… with two f-cking bullets to the back of their maggot Nazi heads.”

Daniel Barber, who has a lengthy criminal record that includes a 1990 conviction for murder and robbery with intent to cause bodily harm, was arrested on April 10 by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents in San Francisco.

The threats were sent via email on June 6, 2025.

Email expressing extreme anger towards ICE agents, featuring aggressive language and calls for violence, dated June 6, 2025.

In the vile message, Barber stated:

“YOUR GESTAPO NAZI MAGGOT ICE AGENTS SHOULD BE TERRIFIED, BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM DESERVES TO BE ARRESTED BY ARMED AMERICAN CITIZENS, FROGMARCHED INTO THE STREETS, SUMMARILY TRIED AND CONVICTED OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY THERE IN PUBLIC, AND SUBSEQUENTLY EXECUTED RIGHT THERE AS WELL WITH TWO F–CKING BULLETS TO THE BACK OF THEIR MAGGOT NAZI HEADS!”

He continued, “EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!”

“MAYBE STOP F-CKING ACTING LIKE HEINOUSLY F-CKING EVIL FASCIST KKKUNTS, AND THEY WOULDN’T DESERVE SUCH A FATE!”

The email concluded, “AND THAT IS NOT A THREAT, YOU LITTLE F-CKING B-TCH, BUT SIMPLY MY OPINION AS TO WHAT THOSE WORMS DESERVE. I’LL BE F-CKING PRAYING DAILY TO THE UNIVERSE AMERICANS START RISING UP AND GIVING THEM, AND YOU, EXACTLY THAT.”

Barber signed the email with his full name.

The Department of Homeland Security released full details about the arrest in a press release on Monday.

“This convicted murderer sent this disgusting death threat to ICE Director Todd Lyons,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement.

Bis continued, “Comparing ICE day-in and day-out to the Nazi Gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences. The men and women of ICE are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters. They get up every morning to try and make our communities safer. Like everyone else, they just want to go home to their families at night. The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law must stop.”

The press release noted, “The arrest comes as sanctuary politicians have created an environment that encourages rampant assaults on law enforcement. As our ICE law enforcement officers remove murderers, rapists, pedophiles, gang members, and terrorists from American communities, they are facing a more than 1,300% increase in assaults, an 8,000% increase in death threats, and a more than 3,300% increase in vehicle attacks.”

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Lyons and his family endured vicious harassment from the left, including doxxing of his wife and children and protests at their home.

Lyons is stepping down from the agency at the end of May.

RFK Jr. Torches Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren During Hearing on TrumpRx Drug Price Cuts (VIDEO)

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks passionately during a congressional hearing, with coffee cups in front and attendees listening intently in the background.

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. appeared on Capitol Hill for two hearings on Wednesday.

RFK Jr. first testified before the Senate Finance Committee on his agency’s budget and the deals that the Trump Administration struck with drug companies to lower prices.

Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren tried to go after RFK Jr. over TrumpRx’s price cuts, but he shut her down.

In February, President Trump launched ‘TrumpRx’ to lower drug prices.

“Today, President Donald J. Trump announced the launch of TrumpRx.gov. Through the website, patients will be able to access large discounts on many of the most popular and highest-priced medicines in the country, paying prices in line with the lowest paid by other developed nations (known as the most-favored-nation, or MFN, price),” the White House announced in February.

“Today’s launch features drugs made by the first five manufacturers to reach MFN pricing deals with the Trump Administration: AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, EMD Serono, Novo Nordisk, and Pfizer,” the White House said.

“Additional drugs from other companies that have signed MFN pricing deals will be made available through TrumpRx.gov in the coming months,” they said.

TrumpRx lowers prices for popular weight loss drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy, inhalers, fertility drugs, and insulin.

Elizabeth Warren, a corrupt and worthless Democrat who has spent decades enriching herself by lying about being a Native American, tried to come at RFK Jr. about TrumpRx.

“If these pharma deals are so good, show them!” Warren said to RFK Jr.

“You had the power to make this deal yourself! Why didn’t you do that? We did this because you refuse to do it!” RFK Jr. said.

“You have a lot more power to negotiate than we do! We got the lowest prices in history,” he said.

Elizabeth Warren hit back and claimed TrumpRx is making things worse for the American people.

“Millions of people who are using Trump Rx disagree with you!” RFK Jr. said.
