A Chicago woman experienced firsthand the consequences of the city’s failures to ensure its citizens have police protection.

The woman, only identified as “Michelle,” waited for hours for a police response Wednesday after experiencing a home invasion, according to WMAQ-TV, the NBC station in the Windy City.

The suspects entered the home in the upscale Wicker Park district after Michelle let her dog out about 12:30 p.m., WMAQ reported.

When she saw two men wearing masks inside her home, she screamed, “I am calling the police,” she told WMAQ.

The fauxtrage surrounding Harrison Butker’s commencement speech at Benedictine College is still swirling nine days after he gave it, with the hot takes continuing to pour in from opportunistic critics for whom virtue signaling is a way of life, and the golden ticket to all the important parties.

The star Kansas City Chiefs kicker, as we previously reported, caused pearls to be clutched after he talked about traditional values from a Catholic perspective, tore into Joe Biden on the abortion issue, and had some very pointed things to say about woke/LGBTQ culture. He also – gasp – paid homage to motherhood in what was perhaps his worst “offense” according to these same people (the full speech can be read here).

Far-left activists are so desperate to knock another conservative Supreme Court justice off cases central to their campaign playbook this year that they’ve manufactured another pair of twin scandals to hit a new target: Justice Samuel Alito.

On Sunday, the Daily Beast reported Alito apparently engaged in a scandal when the justice participated in the open stock market.

“U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito sold off a chunk of stock in Anheuser-Busch Inbev in August 2023, just as a vicious right-wing boycott campaign of the company was reaching full swing, according to financial disclosure reports first spotted by the Substack page Law Dork,” the paper wrote. “The boycott was ostensibly in reaction to a limited social media partnership between trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney and Bud Light, one of AB-Inbev’s best-selling brands.”

For weeks preceding President Biden’s commencement speech on Sunday at Morehouse College—a historically Black men’s college in Atlanta—students and faculty opposed his appearance, alleging that the president should not be the guest of honor given his ongoing support for Israel’s war in Gaza.

Corrupt insurrectionists have no place on the Supreme Court.

In the wake of the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and the failed attempt to overturn the presidential election results, hard-core supporters of an insurrection on behalf of Donald Trump started flying the American flag upside-down. The inverted Old Glory was flown not just by the goons who fought with Capitol police but also, shockingly, over the household of a Supreme Court justice. On Thursday, The New York Times reported, “One of the homes flying an inverted flag during that time was the residence of Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., in Alexandria, Va., according to photographs and interviews with neighbors. The upside-down flag was aloft on Jan. 17, 2021, the images showed.” The timing of the topsy-turvy banner is noteworthy: It came a little over a week after the coup attempt was crushed—but before Joe Biden was inaugurated, a tense period when Washington, D.C., had a heavy military presence, as the possibility of further violence hung in the air. According to the Times, the insurrectionist flag flew for “several days” during this anxious and fluid period.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) refused to commit to accepting the 2024 election results then melted down as NBC’s Kristen Welker debunked his election lies.

Welker asked Rubio if he would accept the election results no matter what happens.

Rubio said, “No matter what happens. No, if it’s an unfair election, I think it’s gonna
be contested by one side or the other. No matter who wins.”

Sen. Rubio then said, “I think you’re asking the wrong person. The Democrats are the ones that have opposed every Republican victory since 2000, every single one. It’s Hillary Clinton who refused to concede.”

It says something about today’s corporate media that one almost has to regard their coverage as “anti-matter.” In other words, what the press chooses not to report matters more than what they say explicitly.

That maxim applies to a recent New York Times story alleging that President Trump may owe more than $100 million in taxes related to his harvesting of tax losses on the Chicago skyscraper he developed around the time of the 2008 financial crisis. As with many Times stories, the elements the paper chose to omit speak volumes.

Tax Returns Obtained Illegally

As part of its reporting, the Times article referenced an “obscure” 2019 Technical Advice Memorandum issued by the Internal Revenue Service and noted that such “memos are required to be publicly released with the taxpayer’s information removed.” The Times claimed that this memorandum, “along with tax records previously obtained by the Times and additional reporting, indicated that the former president was the focus of” the dispute discussed in the 2019 memo.

In SNL’s cold open Saturday, Trump says he’s invited a few people from “my short bus––I mean my shortlist.” Via Yahoo News:

He brings out South Carolina Governor Tim Scott (played by Devon Walker). “I’m here to help Trump win the Black vote,” he says. Trump adds, “I’m more popular than you among the Blacks, which is really saying something.” Walker, as Scott says, “Black people have called my support humiliating, but trust me, I am my own man!”

Trump then brings out South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (played by Heidi Gardner), wearing a red MAGA hat, holding a stuffed dog, and pointing a fake gun at the dog (a reference to her shooting a dog). “She shot a dog, which you really can’t do…but on the other hand, she shot a dog, which is pretty awesome.” Gardner, as Noem chimes in and says, “I kill goats, too!”

Donald Trump suggested that he might run for three terms during his visit to Dallas, Texas, this weekend to speak at the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting.

The NRA awarded Trump its endorsement as he went on stage. He delivered his usual rambling, non sequitur fest by comparing himself to Al Capone, talking about his inherited “genius,” and bragging about how he ended Roe v. Wade. Trump also shared a good amount of fear-mongering, claiming that President Joe Biden had eroded gun rights but failing to give any examples.

But the most impressive part of Trump’s speech has to be when he didn’t say anything for 35 seconds. The teleprompter froze, and so did Trump—as the creepy theme song of QAnon played for the gun-loving audience.

When it was Shawnna Bolick’s turn to speak, the words tumbled out of her for 20 minutes. The conservative lawmaker was in the middle of a heated debate in the Republican-led Arizona Senate on a bill to repeal an 1864 law banning nearly all abortions.

Democrats needed at least one more vote from the right to advance the bill.

Bolick, head hung low and tripping over her words, described her three difficult pregnancies, including one that ended in miscarriage. She said she wouldn’t have got through it “without the moral support of my husband.”

Under cross examination by Donald Trump’s lawyer, Todd Blanche, the star witness in the Kangaroo Court case against Trump, Michael Cohen, admitted he stole $60K from the Trump organization.

In the cross-examination, he also admitted he would lie under oath to save his own skin, he wants revenge against Trump for disrespecting him, and he has a vested economic interest in seeing Donald Trump get convicted. At one point Blanche plainly asked Cohen, “Would you be willing to lie if it affects you personally?” He answered, “Yes.”

President Trump was back in a Manhattan court on Monday in Alvin Bragg’s Soviet-style ‘hush money’ lawfare trial.

The prosecutors once again rolled out their ‘star witness’ Michael Cohen, a convicted perjurer, to take the witness stand.

Cohen shocked the public when he admitted he stole tens of thousands of dollars from Trump and lied to Trump Org. CFO Allen Weisselberg.

He also said he would lie to the jury if it affected his personal life.

Unbelievable!

Here is the exchange between Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche and Michael Cohen courtesy of TGP contributor Paul Ingrassia who is inside of the NYC courtroom live reporting:

Blanche: Did you mean it when you said revenge is a dish best served cold?

Cohen: Yes, sir.

Blanche: You were willing to lie under oath if it affects your personal life, correct?

Cohen: I don’t understand your question.

Blanche: You testified under oath months ago that you were willing to lie if it affects your personal life, correct?

Cohen: Yes, sir.

Blanche: So I’m asking the same question to you now: would you still be willing to lie if it affects your personal life?

Bragg prosecutor: Objection!

Merchan: Objection sustained.

Blanche: Would you be willing to lie if it affects you personally?

Cohen: Yes, sir.

Transgender Runner Beats High School Girls to Win State Title … Then the Crowd Turns on Him

… At a women’s state championship on Saturday in Eugene, Oregon, the audience clearly felt the injustice of a male runner winning a race specifically meant for women.

Aayden Gallagher, a transgender athlete, won the Girls’ 6A 200-meter state championship on Saturday, but the audience wasn’t happy with the result, booing and jeering as he crossed the finish line, according to Fox News.

Gallagher, a sophomore, crossed the finish line first with a time of 24.29 seconds, two-tenths of a second ahead of the runner-up.

The booing continued as Gallagher was presented with the state title on the podium at the meet held at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field in Eugene.

If someone “wins” a sports competition because they have an unfair advantage, that is cheating. So rather than cheers, booing any title holder who is a fraud would be more appropriate.

A male high school senior was booed after he was named the Oregon Girls’ 6A 200-meter state champion because that is what he deserved.

According to the New York Post:

Aayden Gallagher, of McDaniel High School, won the state title by two-tenths of a second. Gallagher was also booed while crossing the finish line of the race.

Gallagher also had the best time of the preliminary heats in the event.

The sophomore also ran the fastest 400-meter prelim, but lost the final of the 400-meter by 0.15 of a second.

Late Friday, IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and IRS Special Agent Joseph Ziegler filed a motion to intervene in Hunter Biden’s pending civil case against the IRS, simultaneously also filing a motion to dismiss Hunter’s lawsuit. The move is bold — possibly the first of its kind — but intervention may be the only way the whistleblowers can ensure the Biden administration’s Department of Justice doesn’t throw the case, to the detriment of Shapley and Ziegler.

In mid-September 2023, following months of bad press, Hunter Biden’s legal team went on the offensive, filing a two-count civil lawsuit against the IRS. While the IRS is the named defendant in the case, the complaint focuses on the conduct of Shapley and Ziegler, seeking to hold the IRS liable for the duo allegedly unlawfully disclosing Hunter Biden’s tax returns and return information. Hunter’s lawsuit further claims the IRS violated the Privacy Act by failing to ensure the security and confidentiality of the records.

Biden’s DEA admits Mexican cartels are operating in all 50 states | The Post Millennial

In its 2024 National Drug Threat Assessment, the Drug Enforcement Agency revealed that Mexican cartels are operating in all 50 states, and have been at the forefront of the “dangerous shift from plant-based to synthetic drugs.”

The two “most powerful and ruthless” cartels, the Sinaloa and Jalisco, essentially control the flow of illicit drugs into the United States via their “worldwide organized criminal networks.”

According to the agency, while states bordering Mexico are among the hardest hit, others further inland such as Colorado, North Carolina, Illinois, and New York have seen more than their fair share of cartel activity. They’ve even made it to Alaska and Hawaii.

Both the Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels “rely on chemical companies and pill press companies in China to supply the precursor chemicals and pill presses needed to manufacture the drugs.”

Anti-American seditionist college professors are planning on refusing to issue final grades for students, preventing thousands from being able to graduate and seek gainful employment. Their motivation behind this is to force their colleges, most of them publicly funded, to support the genocidal death cult Hamas in its efforts to purge Israel of the Jews.

President Donald J Trump challenged Joe Biden to debate him any time, any place. Joe Biden responded with a barely coherent video stating he will accept Trump’s challenge by accepting two debates, one in June and one in September, both of which will be carried by DNC-CCP media outlets and conducted by DNC-CCP operatives. There will also not be a live audience.

A bombshell new study has debunked the globalist narrative that emissions from cows are causing “climate change” while proving that cattle herds actually lower methane gas levels in the atmosphere.

In recent years, unelected foreign organizations such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the United Nations (UN) have been demonizing the agriculture industry while calling for limits, or even bans, on the general public’s consumption of meat and dairy products.

The WEF, UN, and green agenda politicians argue that methane gasses for cattle, or “cow farts,” cause “global warming.”

This so-called “settled science” on alleged cattle emissions has led to increasing scrutiny of farmers around the world.

Joe Biden’s DOJ/FBI is hunting down pro-life conservatives while ignoring Antifa and BLM militants and the radical Hamas supporters shutting down and terrorizing college campuses.

Under Biden, the DOJ weaponized the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a 1994 law that prohibits interfering with anyone obtaining or providing “reproductive health services,” as a punishment for the Supreme Court’s reversal of  Roe v. Wade in June 2022.

After the Supreme Court ruling, Biden formed the DOJ-led Reproductive Rights Task Force to enforce the act.
According to The Epoch Times, The FACE Act has now been used 130 times against pro-life individuals but only used three times against pro-abortion protesters.

(Campaign Life Coalition) — I’m delighted to announce the second annual National “Pride” Flag Walk-Out Day on June 3rd!

More about that in a moment, but first, I want to share some relevant background…

In 2023, on the heels of a budding parental rebellion against school board indoctrination of children with LGBT propaganda, we launched the first ever National “Pride” Flag Walkout Day to coincide with the first day of June.

Our strategy was to cause classrooms across Canada to be noticeably emptier on the day that most school boards begin a month-long transgender and homosexual indoctrination campaign.

We hoped that would send a strong message to teachers, principals and elected trustees that parents are fed-up with radical sexual programming being forced on their kids.

Schools in England will be told by the government not to teach children about progressive theories on so-called “gender identity” and sex education in general to children under the age of nine.

Fresh guidance from the government will inform schools that they should not teach children that they can change their gender identity and that if asked, should only provide children with “biological” information about sex. Schools will also be required to inform children that they cannot legally change their gender until after they are 18. Meanwhile, teachers will be told that they should refrain from engaging in “explicit” conversations about sex until the age of 13, The Times reports.

The guidance, which will be published on Thursday, will also say that teachers should, if asked about the topic, inform children that “gender ideology” is contested, according to the BBC.
