Our Chicago Police family has suffered a devastating loss. Yesterday, Officer John Bartholomew was taken from us in the line of duty (EOW 04/25/2026). His partner is still in the hospital, fighting with everything he has to stay with us.
What an embarrassment for the NCAA. Western Michigan just had a win stolen from them in the most obnoxiously obvious way. Michigan has got nothing to be proud of this week.

"Not only are they missing, they have no idea where they're at. None. Zero."
Of the 3,048 criminals in Cook County's Electronic Monitoring program, 246 are completely unaccounted for.
246 violent criminals are on the loose.
This includes those facing charges for attempted murder, sexual assault, and armed robbery.
Thank Chicago's Democrats for this mess.

In the week since two CPD officers were shot at Swedish Hospital, some of our most talkative politicians suddently became very quiet.
One says it was a deliberate choice.
Another says the shootings were a “one-off.” (Maybe he should’ve stayed quiet.)
