Cops Waiting at Hot Dog Stand Downed in Surprise Hail of Bullets, But Suspect Wasn't Expecting a Nearby Undercover Officer to Notice

The ongoing street violence against law enforcement took an unexpected turn in Chicago on Friday, when a man who turned a gun on police failed to reckon with a nearby undercover officer.

The incident left two Chicago police officers wounded with non-life-threatening injuries and the suspected gunman arrested, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The incident began at about 3:30 a.m. as a police officer waited in line at the Original Maxwell Street hot dog stand on West Harrison Street, Police Superintendent David Brown said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

“The offender had ordered his food and was in line in front of the officer,” Brown said. “The offender reached in his pocket to pay for his order, a gun fell out of the offender’s waistband.”

“The officer noticed the gun falling out, but before they could take action, the offender grabbed the gun, picked it up and began immediately shooting at the officers,” Brown said.

One officer immediately called for assistance.

“I got shot in the head, I got shot in the head. Dropped an extended clip right in front of me, picked it up, shot me, graze wound in the right side of my head and my partner was shot in the leg,” the officer called out on his radio.

Next came three shots into the driver’s side of a police car, hitting the officer inside in the leg, Brown said.

“It was really a bang-bang moment,” Brown said.

The gunshots attracted the attention of an undercover officer, who then chased the suspect.

The man was apprehended after a few blocks and after more police joined in the pursuit.

Brown said that the weapon used in the shooting was tossed, but was recovered.

He said the officers, who were on a break, did not have time to draw their weapons or turn on their bodycams.

The two officers “were really ambushed,” Brown said.

“When the offender dropped the gun, before they could react, he began shooting, so they had no time to react. They were wounded and the offender fled, and thank God for that undercover officer nearby and officers were running around after this offender before he could escape,” he said.

The suspect, identified as Kailo Harris-Caldwell, was charged Saturday with two counts of attempted first-degree murder and drug offense, according to WFLD-TV in Chicago.

“This is a stark reminder of at every hour of every day the men and women this department put their lives on the line,” Brown said, according to CNN.

Is being a police officer more dangerous now than ever?
Yes: 100% (5 V**es)
No: 0% (0 V**es)
“And it’s another call to action to all of us to get guns off the streets of Chicago and out of the hands of individuals who should not have them. Acts of senseless violence cannot be the norm in our city.”

“May the good Lord bless the men and women of the Chicago Police Department. They work tirelessly to risk everything for all of our safety,” Brown said.

“We should give them a real big ‘thank you’ this morning and please, prayers for them and their families as they go through this process.”

17 Absurd Lies Biden Told During His State Of The Union Speech
March 01, 2022
In a desperate bid to console a nation reeling from crises he created, President Joe Biden delivered his first official State of the Union Address on Tuesday.

The Democrat attempted to downplay his plummeting approval by promising to do better in his second year in office but instead offered a speech riddled with falsehoods and contradictions.

While Biden’s address was supposed to breathe new life into his presidency, Americans are meanwhile plagued with rising prices, a southern border crisis, and now an overseas conflict that leaves them feeling like “the State of our union is in crisis because of Joe Biden.” Here are 17 absurd lies Biden told during his State of the Union speech.

‘Freedom Will Always Triumph Over Tyranny’

Biden opened his speech by praising the lack of C****-** theater in the legislative chambers and claiming that “freedom will always triumph over tyranny.”

The audacious claim comes just a few months after the president tried to force the c****av***s jab on American workers, pushed his administration to work with Big Tech to censor his political opponents, and smeared Republicans as d******c t*******ts for caring about their children’s education.

Powerful Sanctions Stopped Russia

Days after Biden said U.S. sanctions against Russia weren’t expected to “prevent anything from happening” in the Ukraine conflict, the president claimed that he leveraged powerful punishments against Vladimir Putin, which stopped the Eastern European in his tracks.

“A Russian dictator, invading a foreign country, has costs around the world,” Biden said. “And I’m taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions is targeted at Russia’s economy.”

Twenty-four hours before Biden’s contradictory statement, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that the sanctions “are meant to have a deterrent impact” against Russia.

Vice President Kamala Harris, national security adviser Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and other Cabinet members also promoted sanctions as a way to stop Putin from invading Ukraine.

I’m Always Honest😂😂😂😂😂

Biden told Americans, “I will be honest with you, as I’ve always promised,” but The Federalist’s regularly updated lie tracker proves that claim is far from the t***h.

‘The American Rescue Plan Worked’

Biden touted the American Rescue Plan as a significant boost to the economy that “helped working people and left no one behind,” but he neglected to mention it was this sudden influx of federal cash in a slowly rebounding economy that contributed to the inflation and rising prices plaguing Americans today.

Trump’s Tax Cuts Only Helped the Rich

Biden repeated the popular lie that former President Donald Trump’s tax cuts helped only the rich even though they actually increased worker earnings and opened up job opportunities across the board.

His false claim earned a round of boos from the Democrat politicians in the audience who were eager for a chance to take a jab at Trump.

‘I Created Lots of Jobs’😂😂😂😂

Biden touted the rising U.S. job record as one of the highlights of his first year in office but failed to mention that the only reason the job rate is growing is that millions of people are returning to work after tyrannical bureaucrats shut down the economy for months in the name of stopping the spread of a v***s.

Buying American Products Is a Priority

Biden said buying American products is a priority for his administration but has conveniently avoided reinstating U.S. energy independence by cutting off Russian oil supplies and lifting his ban on American drilling.

Biden’s lie also ignored the fact that the White House recently defended buying at least $1.3 billion worth of C****-** rapid tests from China to disseminate to Americans instead of relying on locally-sourced ones.

‘Our Economy Roared Back Faster Than Almost Anyone Predicted’😂😂😂😂

Biden claimed that “our economy roared back fast than anyone predicted,” but as average Americans suffer the consequences of a prolonged supply-chain crisis and inflation, it’s clear that the price hikes once touted by the administration as short-term are here to stay for a while.

The Solution to Inflation Is ‘Lower Your Costs’

Biden claimed that the solution to inflation is for businesses to “lower your costs, not your wages,” but anyone with a brain knows that in order to stay open, companies must raise their prices to pay for increasingly expensive goods. If businesses are forced to raise their wages, they will also raise prices for consumers who have to bear the burden or suffer the consequences of understaffing.

My Tax Plan Will Lower Costs and the Deficit

“My plan to fight inflation will lower your costs and lower the deficit,” Biden claimed.

The t***h is, however, that Biden’s tax plan would “result in a net increase in the deficit totaling $367 billion over the 2022-2031 period, not counting any additional revenue that may be generated by additional funding for tax enforcement,” according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Anyone Making Less Than $400k Doesn’t Have to Pay More Taxes

Biden also repeated one of his favorite falsehoods that anyone making less than $400,000 a year doesn’t have to pay any more in taxes.

Experts, however, agree that his promise not to raise taxes on those making less than $400,000 a year is ambitious and not realistic because those who fall below the mark are still subject to consequences from a highly taxed economy.

Let’s Lower Cost of Insulin (After I Raised It)

Biden called for lower insulin prices amid what he said is a drug price crisis. What the president didn’t acknowledge, however, is that he undid a rule enacted by Trump that effectively lowered insulin and epinephrine prices for Americans

Funding Police Is Necessary

Funding for police, Biden said, is suddenly a big priority for his administration, but when r****rs called for harm and financial cuts to police forces around the country during the 2020 summer of rage, Biden refused to condemn them.

The president also allies himself with Democrats who proudly call for “r****t” police forces to lose their funding.

The Right to V**e Is Under Assault

Biden claimed the “right to v**e is under assault” by states passing v**er-integrity laws but failed to mention that Democrats and their cronies in Big Tech and the corporate media were the ones conspiring to rig the 2020 e******n. As The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway reported:

Hundreds of laws and processes were changed in the months leading up to the e******n, sometimes legally and sometimes not, creating chaos, confusion, and uncertainty. Tech oligarch Mark Zuckerberg, one of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful men, spent $419 million — nearly as much as the federal government itself — to interfere in the government’s management of the e******n in key states.

Pro-Democrat propaganda in the media and censorship of conservative voices and damning stories such as the New York Post’s report on H****r B***n also contributed to the plot to take over e******ns.

Gun Manufacturers Are Immune to Lawsuits

Biden said gunmakers are immune from prosecution even though manufacturers can be sued if a firearm is faulty or malfunctions.

On the other hand, many of the manufacturers who created the C****-** jab are immune to prosecution, despite Biden’s claims that the gun industry is the only one afforded special privileges.

‘We Need to Secure Our Border’

Biden said he wants to secure the southern border and that he’s taking swift action to do so. The t***h is, however, that more than 100,000 i*****l m*****ts are crossing the U.S.-Mexico border each month after the administration touted open borders and overlooked the humanitarian crisis for more than a year.

Biden not only started his presidency by stripping border protections enacted by Trump but welcomed i*****l m*****ts with open arms. As a result, Border Patrol encountered at least 2 million i*****l a***ns at the southern border in 2021 alone and are expected to encounter even more in 2022. Many of these i*****l a***ns were released into the U.S. with loose instructions to report to ICE facilities but didn’t.

A******n Is Health Care

“If we want to go forward — not backward — we must protect access to health care. Preserve a woman’s right to choose,” Biden claimed during his speech.

K*****g babies in the womb, however, is not health care. Not only does the heinous act take the life of an unborn child, but it has detrimental effects on women’s physical and mental health.

As Biden Admin Suggests Abandoning Kyiv, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy Has Epic 6-Word Response

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy turned down a U.S. request to evacuate the capital city of Kyiv Friday night — and he did it in his inimitable fashion, the Associated Press reported.

A senior intelligence official told the AP that Zelenskyy said, “I need ammunition, not a ride” when approached with the idea by members of President Joe Biden’s administration.

For those who have underestimated Zelenskyy — a former comedian who won the presidency on an anti-corruption platform after playing the president on TV — it’s worth noting this shows considerably more courage than we’ve seen from a Biden administration determined to look like it’s doing something, despite an underwhelming sanctions package that doesn’t hit Moscow where it hurts.

In particular, Biden refused to sanction Russia’s energy sector, the biggest segment of its economy.

This means Putin continues to have an energy stranglehold on Europe and can still rake in the profits — but it also means energy prices aren’t going to skyrocket and add to the administration’s inflation woes. Here at The Western Journal, we’re going to call the administration out if it’s more focused on winning the midterms than helping Ukraine win against Russia. You can help us bring America the t***h by subscribing.

The AP reported on Zelenskyy’s rejection of the offer on Friday night U.S. time — Saturday Kyiv time — as street fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces was happening in the capital city.

“Saturday’s street clashes followed two days of massive air and missile strikes that Russian officials said targeted Ukrainian military facilities as their ground troops moved in from the north, east and south,” the AP reported.

“The assault pummeled bridges, schools and apartment buildings, and resulted in hundreds of casualties.”

Despite this, Zelenskyy said he would stay on.

“The fight is here,” an AP report said. “I need ammunition, not a ride.”


Zelenskyy’s whereabouts have been kept a secret these past few days, as might be expected, given he’s apparently public enemy No. 1 of the Kremlin.

In a call with European Union leaders Thursday night, Zelenskyy told them they might not see him alive again.

However, a video posted to social media showed him outside the p**********l office.

“We’re defending our independence and our country, and that’s how it’ll be,” he said, according to Financial Times Moscow bureau chief Max Seddon.

In a video address midnight Kyiv time, he warned Ukrainians there were hard times ahead as Russians prepared an assault on the capital.

“I must say quite frankly: This night will be harder than the day. Many cities of our nation are under attack: Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv … in the Donbas, the cities of southern Ukraine and, pay special attention to Kyiv. We cannot lose the capital,” he said, according to Politico.

“Tonight they will go on the offensive. We all understand what awaits us: tonight we must persevere. The fate of Ukraine is being decided right now.”

On Saturday morning, meanwhile, he posted video of himself near Gordosky House, a Kyiv landmark, assuring citizens he was staying.

“Good morning, Ukrainians. Now there has been a lot of f**e information on the internet that I’m ordering our army to lay down arms and evacuating,” he said, as per Politico.

“But it’s like this: I am here. Our weapons are our t***h. What is true is that this is our land. Our country, Our children. And we will defend it all. There it is.”

Pentagon press secretary John Kirby told reporters that he believes Moscow’s offensive on Kyiv isn’t going as quickly as they had hoped, in part because of Ukrainian resistance. Hardly a surprise — given their president reportedly wants more ammo, not a ride out of the capital.

Since nobody is commenting on my post, I might as well expand it. Since all Democrats are now on board in punishing and condemning Russia and Putin, I now wish to bring up what Biden's Democrats did back in January. Republicans were trying back then to pass something that would shut down the Nord Stream 2 Russian Gas Pipeline into Germany. Democrats were able to defeat that effort.

It seems NOW that Democrats were once again on the wrong side of history.
