At least 42 wounded and 5 dead over weekend in Chicago, nine shot in mass shooting

Chicago's new mayor, Brandon Johnson, needs to hurry up and get his "holistic" approach to crime fighting in place. Because over the past weekend, at least 42 people were shot and five people were killed in the city over the past weekend.

The worst of the violence happened shortly after midnight on Sunday when nine people were wounded in a mass shooting in North Lawndale on the West Side. One of the nine died of here wounds, 21-year-old Kanesha Gaines.

Her family, sadly, is no stranger to violence. Her brother was murdered in 2019.

Sinéad O'Connor & Van Morrison sing "Have I Told You Lately?"

Of course, you know that Sinéad O'Connor passed away this week at the age of 56. 

She had a lot of demons, which led her to attempt suicide in Morton Grove, Illinois a few years ago, the town where I live. 

Here she is in 1995 on David Letterman's Late Night with Van Morrison, singing his love song, "Have I Told You Lately." 

 O'Connor is quite good here, Van, and it pains me to say this, was off his game. He appears to be cueing someone--badly. The backup band is Irish folk giants the Chieftains.

Regular Marathon Pundit readers know that "Have I Told You Lately" is on my wedding video.

‘The Five’: Biden finally acknowledges 7th grandchild

An old fashioned "Friday news dump" occurred yesterday. 

Joe Biden, in a statement, admitted that he has seven, not six, grandchildren. 

The seventh, which Senile Joe hasn't met yet, is the love child his reprobate son, Hunter, fathered with a stripper. 

Friday news dumps don't work anymore. People no longer only get their news from broadcast networks or print newspapers. That's more proof the Democrats are out of touch with the public.

Six dead and at least 27 wounded in weekend violence in Chicago, one mass shooting

Chicago has a new mayor but an old problem, people continue to shoot each other. Over this past weekend six people were shot to death and at least 27 others were wounded. 

And there was one mass shooting--early Saturday five men were wounded, but none fatally, in North Lawndale on the West Side. 

Things will soon get worse in Chicago and the rest of Illinois. The absurdly named SAFE-T Act, which eliminates cash bail statewide wide, will take effect in two months.
