Daytime Rape and Stabbing downtown Chicago State and Lake happened around 4:40 p.m.
Broad daylight sexual assault on a 24-year-old woman by a 31-year-old man near North State and East Lake Streets in Chicago's Loop, followed by the man clashing with a 25-year-old bystander.
A 36-year-old woman intervened by stabbing the 31-year-old assailant in the right eye and the 25-year-old in the left wrist, resulting in all three being hospitalized while the assault victim declined medical care.

There is a new l $400 million dollar Muslim only community in Sheridan, Illinois
It sits on 165 acres, has 332 condo-style units, water park, golf, lakes and a planned mosque
It’s called V Resort Living
The ad for the property needed a voice over because the man couldn’t speak English
It emphasizes a “safe & faith-based community” for Muslims
That’s their way of saying it’s “Muslim only” without saying it’s “Muslim only”
It’s already “complete” in terms of physical structures and units are being sold now
Dave’s Killer Bread became extremely popular, it’s America’s Number 1 organic bread brand and is now a billion dollar brand
It’s so popular because it was healthy, unfortunately the ingredients have drastically changed after being bought out by the parent company of Nature’s Own
Early versions of their bread were much simpler and some only had about 10 ingredients
That’s all changed after the acquisition
Newer versions of the bread now contain 25+ ingredients with some having 30+ ingredients
The ingredients were added for large-scale commercial production, consistency, shelf life and texture
Fans of the bread have reported taste and texture changes saying its drier and denser
Every food brand is eventually destroyed by a monopoly buying them up
It’s the illusion of choice in America

🚨 VANILLA ICE just BODIED the haters on Kayleigh
While celebs like Martina McBride, The Commodores & more BAIL on America’s 250th Freedom Concert because “Trump’s involved”…
Ice says: “Who throws a better party than Trump? This is AMERICA’S party, not politics. Music brings people together. We’re celebrating 250 years of this country. Spread the love”
Real patriot vibes. “If Joe Biden was hosting, I’d still play.”
Ice gets it. The silent majority is DONE with the division.
The shape of your pollinator garden matters more than its size.
Most native bees have small foraging ranges. Peer-reviewed research on solitary bees found female flight distances of just 73 to 121 meters from the nest. A small bee born in your neighbor's yard might not reliably reach a flower patch in the middle of your yard if there's a length of mowed grass between them.
What works is linear pollinator habitat. A strip along a fence line, a corridor along the driveway, or a narrow band of natives running the full length of the property is best.
A 2018 study in the journal Ecography found that the length of linear semi-natural habitat was the single strongest predictor of wild bee species richness and connectivity in agricultural landscapes. Bees track edges.
A 2-foot-wide strip running 50 feet does more ecological work than a 10x10 island in the middle of the lawn. The strip gives pollinators a route to follow, something that guides their movement across the landscape.
The effect multiplies when your neighbors do the same. A strip along your fence meets a strip along theirs, and so on.
So…

Chicago lost the Bears this week. A team that's been in the city since 1921.
They didn't lose them to a bigger market or a better deal. The Bears decided they'd rather be a tenant in Indiana than deal with Illinois for one more year.
Think about how badly you have to run a place for that to be the smart move.
They lost them for two reasons.
The people running Illinois would rather villainize a builder than keep one. And they're bad at their jobs.
In 2021 the Bears spent $197M on the old Arlington Park racetrack.
Before they could break ground, Cook County valued the empty lot at $192M (Bears said $60M). They were salivating at the chance to extort a building that didn't even exist yet.
That fight dragged on for years.
The Bears were ready to put $2B into the stadium. All they wanted was a promise the county wouldn't reassess them into oblivion, plus $855M for infrastructure everyone uses. Roads, transit, utilities. A $3B project, two thirds of it private money pouring into Illinois.
Springfield had since 2021 to get this done. They dragged it to the final night of session, passed it through the Senate at 3:39AM, and the House went home without voting.
So now it's all gone.
The funniest part? This started because Cook County tried to grab the tax early. They knew a built stadium would pay $53M a year. Now they get under $4M on a vacant lot. No jobs, no buildout, no new anything.
Congrats on fighting for scraps and losing the whole prize.
Pritzker: they're "an $8.5B valued business" that doesn't need propping up.
But be smart for a second. Almost every NFL city throws in public money for a stadium. Not charity. The return is real. Tourism, hotels, restaurants, jobs, game days, property tax on a huge development. The math works.
Indiana did the math. While Illinois sat on it for years, Indiana passed a bill in months, put up $1B, and took the team.
And the Bears took a worse deal to get there. In Illinois they were going to own their stadium. In Indiana they rent it from the state. A team that wanted to build its own home gave up ownership just to escape Chicago.
Nobody won but Indiana. The Bears lost their stadium. Illinois lost the team, the $2B, and $53M a year in taxes.
Pritzker after they left: "I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team."
There it is. "Billionaire-owned."
That's how Democrats talk about any business right before they run it out of town. Call them a billionaire, act like you're saving working families, take a victory lap while the tax base drives across the state line.
Meanwhile they're running the whole state into the ground. And you already know how this ends. You're living in it.
Pensions are $143B in the hole, worst in the country and not close. You pay $6,285 a year in property taxes, double the $2,969 national average, for a city that's $1.15B in the red. The mayor called its finances "the point of no return."
When you run things this badly, you sell what's left.
They leased the parking meters for 75 years to Morgan Stanley and a sovereign wealth fund in Abu Dhabi. Took $1.15B and burned through it in two years. The investors already made it all back, with 58 years left to collect.
Sold the Skyway. Sold the downtown garages. Every asset that made money, gone for one check.
But a fixed property tax rate for a team that's been here 106 years? That's "propping up billionaires."
Companies are leaving. Boeing for Virginia. Caterpillar for Texas. Citadel for Miami. In 2023 alone Illinois lost 56,000 people and $6B in income to other states. The ones who left earned a third more than the ones who moved in.
Indiana didn't outbid anyone. AAA credit, 16 years straight. A $676M surplus. Fourth-lowest debt per person in the country. They just weren't a disaster.
Illinois could have collected $53M a year. It chose zero. Ignore all the bad management but make sure to stick it to those evil, pesky billionaires.

Well how about that...
Newsom signed a bill right before the primaries.
What does it do?

Man Killed in Explosion on I-290 as FBI, DEA, ATF and Bomb Squad Swarm Scene
WESTCHESTER, Ill. — A 47-year-old man was killed after an explosion inside a Volkswagen SUV on the outbound Eisenhower Expressway near Mannheim Road on Thursday, June 4, 2026, triggering a massive federal and state law enforcement response that shut down I-290 for nearly nine hours.
The explosion occurred shortly after 10:00 a.m. in the westbound lanes of the expressway.
Witnesses reported seeing the SUV's windows, windshield, and sunroof blow outward while the vehicle was traveling at highway speed. The driver lost his life in the incident and was later identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office as a 47-year-old man.
Responding officers discovered the damaged SUV surrounded by shell casings, prompting an immediate escalation of the investigation.
Illinois State Police initially secured the scene before specialized units from multiple agencies arrived. The Cook County Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad deployed robots, K9 teams, and tactical equipment to safely examine the vehicle while federal investigators took over major portions of the case.
The FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives all responded to the scene.
Law enforcement sources indicated the vehicle had been under surveillance by federal drug investigators before the explosion. Officials later stated the blast appeared to be largely self-contained and did not completely destroy the SUV, raising questions about exactly what occurred inside the vehicle.
Federal agents were later observed conducting investigative activity at a residence in nearby Cicero believed to be connected to the case.
The investigation forced the closure of I-290 in both directions between 25th Avenue and Wolf Road. Ramps from Mannheim Road and I-88 were also shut down, creating major traffic backups throughout the western suburbs during both the morning and evening rush periods.
A forensic tent remained over the vehicle for much of the day as investigators processed evidence.
The SUV was eventually removed and all lanes reopened at approximately 7:00 p.m.
The DEA Chicago Field Division and local officials said there is no ongoing threat to the public. Authorities have not released additional details regarding the cause of the explosion as the multi-agency investigation continues.

When Secretariat died in 1989, the legend seemed complete, until the necropsy revealed the secret behind his impossible power.
Inside his chest was a heart that stunned veterinarians: an estimated 22 pounds, nearly two and a half times the size of a normal Thoroughbred’s.
It wasn’t diseased.
It wasn’t abnormal.
It was perfect.
Every chamber balanced, every wall strong, the anatomical masterpiece of nature’s own design.
That massive heart pumped oxygen-rich blood with unmatched efficiency, feeding muscles that never seemed to tire.
It was, quite literally, the tremendous machine that carried him beyond limits.
When he ran, his stride measured at nearly 25 feet, became an extension of that engine.
At full speed, his heart could circulate his entire blood volume twice in a single minute.
It’s why he didn’t just win, he expanded, accelerating when others faltered, as if time itself bent to his rhythm.
But what makes the discovery so moving isn’t the science, it’s the poetry.
That colossal heart wasn’t just muscle.
It was metaphor.
It explained what fans had always felt watching him: that there was something greater inside him, something immeasurable.
As one vet whispered after the necropsy:
“We finally know what powered him, but we’ll never understand how much heart he truly had.”
In life, Secretariat’s heart carried him 31 lengths past history.
In death, it reminded the world that greatness isn’t always about what’s seen
but about the size of the heart that beats behind it.
11 years ago,lSlS burned 19 Yezidi girls alive in front of hundreds of its supporters in iron cages in Mosul for refusing to convert to lslam and be sex slaves!
Till today there was not a single protest by MusIims or leftists!
Nobody asked them to do it. Nobody trained them for it. They were just two teenage boys — the kind you pass on the sidewalk and barely notice — leaning on their bikes in the summer heat when they saw something no child should ever have to experience.
A man walked away with 5-year-old Jocelyn Rojas. She was supposed to be playing outside. She was supposed to be safe.
And in that single, awful second — while most of us would have been paralyzed, reaching for a phone, waiting for someone with a uniform and a badge to show up — these two boys made a choice.
They got on their bikes and they went after him.
No hesitation. No waiting for permission. No "someone else will handle it." Just two pairs of legs pumping hard through the streets of Lancaster, eyes locked on a stranger who had a little girl that wasn't his.
They tracked him. They stayed close. They didn't let him disappear into the afternoon like something that was never going to be found.
And then they confronted him.
Two teenagers. On bikes. Against a grown man who had already done the unthinkable. They forced him to stop.
He let Jocelyn go.
"The entire thing lasted only minutes." — Lancaster Police
Minutes. Because two boys closed the distance fast enough to interrupt it. Because they were raised — by someone, somehow — to believe that other people's emergencies are your business too.
When reporters asked one of them afterward why they did it, he gave the most deflating, most beautiful, most teenage answer imaginable.
He shrugged.
"I just felt like it was the right thing to do."
No speech. No GoFundMe. No press conference. Just a kid who saw a little girl in danger and couldn't make himself look away.
Jocelyn went home. She was reunited with her family. She got to grow up.
Because of two boys on bikes who hadn't been asked, hadn't been trained, hadn't been paid — and did it anyway.
