After her 4-year-old son, Mychal Moultry Jr., was shot in the city while visiting his father during the Labor Day weekend, Angela Gregg’s family had to pay $13,000 for funeral expenses.Gregg would have liked to have her son buried; she settled for cremation instead.“The money was not there,” Gregg said Monday, speaking at St. Sabina Church on the South Side.Gregg said she’s applied for state funding intended to help victims of gun violence but is still waiting to be reimbursed.“Every child deserves to grow up free from gun violence, but when their innocent lives are cut short … families are left to grieve. This is too much tragedy,

Wrong direction. How about a fund to track down and kill the perpetrators of gun violence and to sue any judge or DA who released them on bail!

She may have paid $13,000 but she didn’t have to pay that sum. Something awry.

Normally Father Pfleger is front and center on this kind of stuff as he is more of a media whore Social Justice Warrior than a priest. Why hasn't he offered to pay for some of these funerals out of his churches and "cause" funds? I feel bad for the people need to bury their children. They should also be banging on the door of their useless Mayor, Lori Lightfoot to foot the bill as the shootings are partially the result of her inactions on the shooting problems and non support of the police.

Chicago does not have a problem with guns. It has a problem with violent black gang bangers who use guns to kill lots of innocent people every year. All they have to do is shut down the gangs, and suddenly the "gun violence" would be miniscule. But, of course, they can't do that out of fear of being labeled as "racists" for going after the gangs who are 100% black!!! So instead go after legal gun owners who have nothing (zero, zilch, nada) to do with all the gun violence!!!! Lie-beral "logic" at its most insane!!!

Grab back some of the "parkland" signed over to the "Obama Presidential Cathedral" for use as a cemetery, have gangbangers from the Jail holding cells dig the holes, have the caskets made in the Prison Carpentry shop..and the magnet school/job training centers. All other costs earmarked from seized gang assets sold at auction, confiscated funds. Just the diamond ear rings, pricey watches, chains bracelets "Bling" alone should cover most of the dead kids....the confiscated Chargers, Challengers, BMW's, Benzes alone should cover several years worth in advance.

Nancy Pelosi is running four a 19th term for the children. Let’s see if she steps up with some money to bury the dead ones. She donates to Planned Parenthood to kill babies so this is another opportunity to show her true concern for the children.

Americans' overall dissatisification with the state of the country is on a downward trend, according to a new Gallup poll, which shows declines in 10 major policy areas, including energy policy, the military, and the economy. Gallup's annual Mood of the Nation survey reflected a continual dour mood in the country as the coronavirus pandemic continues and President Joe Biden enters his second year in office. Americans' satisfaction with the economy dropped 10 points over the last year and a whopping 35 points over the past two years, a reflection of the country's frustration with the fallout from the pandemic, which saw businesses shutter, large numbers of people

George Soros has financed immigrant caravans, abortion on demand, legalization of drugs, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and most recently, district attorney races in many American cities with radical pro-criminal candidates. But most of all, he is 100 percent into ending Trump and Trumpism—and, with that, any semblance of American greatness.A “dark money” group that received millions from Soros’ advocacy network was the source of a seven-figure ad blitz urging vulnerable Republicans in swing districts to support the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. Soros then dumped tons of cash into purple states, much of it disguised, to ensure Trump’s defeat or the rigging of the 2020 election.

It is still unknown how much fraud was carried out in the 2020 election. But the narrative needs to end that the answer is “none.”Despite the widespread blanket denials from the mainstream media, surveillance video has bubbled up showing that ‘mules’ illicitly dumped ballots into Zuckerberg “drop boxes.”The film contains startling video evidence of “2,000 mules” dropping off what appears to be thousands of illicit ballots into the drop boxes. The details of how the evidence was gathered is recounted by researcher Kanekoa on his Substack page. “This week surveillance footage emerged of an illegal ballot harvesting operation that took place during the 2020 election,” the article notes.

Generally speaking, I am not a fan of polls. For one, I’ve never been polled by anyone. For another, the number of people being polled often strikes me as too small a sample from which to draw broad conclusions. Also, those samples more often than not tend to oversample one group, Democrats, let’s say, over another group, which again leads to questions of accuracy. Bottom line, I don’t trust ‘em and tend to ignore them in preference to the only poll that actually counts, the election itself. I’ve often asked myself, what would I do if I were to be contacted to participate in a poll.

President Joe Biden has offered Russian President Vladimir Putin access to NATO bases so that Moscow can verify the US does not have Tomahawk cruise missiles in Romania or Poland in a bid to avoid war in Ukraine. Sources close to Biden told Bloomberg on Tuesday the proposal would only come to fruition upon agreement with American allies, especially Poland and Romania. Russia would also need to share similar information about a number of bases housing ground-launched weapons. Biden's proposal reportedly aims to diminish the Kremlin's fears that the US could use the missiles to target Russia. News of the proposal comes as US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is set
