A report from WLS in Chicago cited the office of the Cook County medical examiner for news that gun violence deaths reached a record 875 in 2020. This lamentable figure apparently went without notice from Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.). Certainly there has been no known report citing Rep. Waters to the effect that there must be a confrontation with the perpetrators of black-on-black crime. Joe Biden has not been known to issue statements opposing “systemic” violence within the black communities of urban America.
Indeed, why hasn’t the Hon. Waters gone to Chicago to declare that the streets of Cook County, Illinois must be made safe again for the blacks of Chicago and that, accordingly, the law-abiding blacks of Cook County must take to the streets to ensure the same sense of security for inner-city blacks enjoyed by the white folks of suburbia?
It should be noted that of the 875 deaths by gun violence in Cook County, Illinois, in 2020, 78% of the victims were black. The silence of Maxine Waters in response to black-on-black murders is simply astounding.
When it comes to a black’s death consequent to an incident with a white policeman, Rep. Waters is all too quick to demand immediate “justice” — that is to say, a murder conviction of the white officer. Yet there is no demand from the congresswoman for civil rights protection for blacks assaulted, shot at, killed by other blacks.
What is the ultimate nature of civil rights if not protection against termination of life by illegal violence? Or is Rep. Waters unconcerned about the justice for urban blacks as reflected by safety to walk urban thoroughfares?
The matter cannot be stated more starkly than this for Rep. Waters and her like-minded leftists in Congress: don’t black lives matter in confrontations with other blacks, as well as with confrontations with police? A little consistency, please!

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
