Marjay Dotson, 15, died from a gunshot wound to his back, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. A 14-year-old boy, identified to the media by family members as Jeremy Herred, has undergone surgery for a gunshot wound to his neck.

CPD and fire department personnel responded to the park at 1401 South Sacramento at...

When it comes to aircraft carriers, the nation with the most is the United States. The U.S. Navy operates 11 nuclear aircraft carriers of various designs, and more are on the way as the service replaces its aging fleet of Nimitz-class carriers with the new Gerald R. Ford-class carriers. These are massive ships and the largest warships ever constructed in military history. Each Ford-class vessel displaces around 100,000 tons of seawater and measures 1,092 feet in length, with a flight deck width of 256 feet. That's a lot of ship to move around, but despite its mass, a Ford-class carrier...

Russia’s summer offensive in Ukraine is faltering just weeks after it began, despite a record number of attacks across multiple fronts. Data analysis by The Telegraph shows Moscow is on track to break its own record, which was set last month, for offensive operations in June. Yet the sheer volume of assaults has not translated into meaningful breakthroughs on the battlefield. The offensive – launched in May but planned over the winter – stretches from the northern border regions of Sumy and Kharkiv to the front lines in Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk, into which Russian forces are attempting to break for...

“Then Darius the king wrote to all the peoples, nations, and men of every language who were living in all the land: ‘May your peace abound! I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men are to fear and tremble before the God of Daniel; for He is the living God and enduring forever, and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed, and His dominion will be forever. He delivers and rescues and performs signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, who has also delivered Daniel from the power of the lions’” (Daniel...

That’s Selena Zito’s take, and I fully agree with her. There is an old wisdom in political science that real presidential power, whether domestic or international, is the power of persuasion. In less than two weeks, Trump has shown that his impact on American history has centered on his persuasive powers and using them to execute leadership. While elites struggle to understand the appeal of Trump and conservative populism, what they miss, what they have always missed, is the nuance of what “Make America Great Again” meant to voters. The media saw it as a vulgar attempt at nationalism, often...

As June comes to an end, so does the pagan festival of debauchery known as “Pride Month.” It has become an annual annoyance to find troupes of dancing gay men — usually semi-naked and engaging in various forms of erotic foreplay — overtaking public streets as the first warm days of summer return. It would be nice if the LGBTQ+ crowd — or “Alphabet people” to those without a special letter designation — could enjoy their civil rights without resorting to X-rated acts of exhibitionism in front of children and strangers. Alas, the celebration of sin seems to be “Pride...

Remember when judges just followed the law? Those days seem long gone! Across America, liberal judges have been making up rules as they go along. They’ve blocked deportations, rewrote immigration policies, and acted like they run the country. But what happens when judges break the rules themselves? Who watches the watchmen? This question is now front and center as one group of federal judges faces something they never expected – being on the receiving end of a lawsuit! ... The Trump administration’s Department of Justice just dropped a bombshell. They sued all 15 federal district court judges in Maryland over...

The city chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America has officially endorsed Israel foe and Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani for mayor. Mamdani, a member of the DSA, was arrested Oct. 13, 2023, for participating in a protest outside Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, demanding a cease-fire after Israel struck Gaza in response to Hamas’ brutal terror attack a week earlier. Last year, he also introduced the “Not on Our Dime!: Ending New York Funding of Israeli Settler Violence Act” — legislation aimed at barring New York-based charitable groups from engaging in “unauthorized support of Israeli settlement activity.”...

Following the uncovering of a massive bribery scandal at USAID, the Small Business Administration (SBA) is ordering a full audit of all government contracting officers who have exercised grant-awarding authority under the agency’s business development program over the last 15 years. **SNIP** Despite claims of how much good the agency was doing, it was recently discovered that an influential contracting officer at USAID named Roderick Watson was able to carry out a massive, long-term bribery scheme dating all the way back to 2013. Watson, 57, pleaded guilty to "bribery of a public official," according to a DOJ press release. According...

HOWARD BEACH, Queens (WABC) -- A bizarre crime caught on camera led to the arrests of a group of suspects accused of removing a swan from a park in Queens and then stuffing the bird into a car. The viral video shows a young man with swan in his hands, running from the inlet at 165th Avenue and 95th Street in Frank Charles Memorial Park in Howard Beach on Saturday evening. "They came up this path here and then ran out towards the street," Stephanie Santiago said. Santiago, a school attendance teacher in Howard Beach, lives nearby, and her daughter...

Last week, when bombs were falling over Iran, I saw a post on social media that posed a harrowing question to Iranians: Would you rather have a stranger kill your abusive father, or have him continue to live and abuse your family? ...On one side is the moral value of liberation from the Islamic Republic. For some of the most seasoned dissidents — those who have endured imprisonment, torture and exile — the Israeli strikes carry a dangerous, fragile hope. They see the death of a high-ranking Revolutionary Guards commander not as a casualty of war, but as a righteous,...

Well, CNN is at the center of yet another fake news hoax. What number is this now? Honestly, too many to count. But this latest stunt is especially egregious because it involves our national security. So what happened? CNN ran a bogus story claiming that President Trump’s highly successful military strikes barely dented Iran’s nuclear program and only set them back “a few months.” The goal was obvious: downplay the operation and spin it as a failure.
