Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson emasculated himself by suggesting he wouldn’t deport an illegal alien who hypothetically beat up and raped his wife.

Johnson — who has been obstructing President Donald Trump’s efforts to rid his crime-infested city of violent illegal aliens — made the cowardly admission at a news conference Tuesday.

Reporter William Kelly teed up Johnson’s humiliating self-own by recounting a crime that occurred last month, in which an illegal alien from Nicaragua grabbed a woman on the street, bashed her head in, and raped her.

“If that had been your wife, Stacie, would you want ICE to deport … that illegal alien? Yes or no?” Kelly asked.

Instead of responding, Johnson made a snarky jab, claiming Kelly’s YouTube views had dropped recently.

Kelly quipped that his social-media views were much higher than the mayor’s.

The reporter then asked Johnson to answer his question.

“Answer the question as a man — not as a mayor — but as a man,” Kelly reiterated. “Would you want ICE to deport that rapist?”

Once again, Johnson refused to respond.

“No? Okay, that’s the answer,” Kelly said.

This soulful rocker, originally from Chicago, has had a passion for singing throughout her entire life. Growing up in a household that was rich in music, her influences were widely varied from artists such as Susan Tedeschi, Bonnie Raitt, The Pointer Sisters, Eva Cassidy, Etta James, Joss Stone, Kelly Clarkson, and many more.

Despite these modern musical influences, Lauren was classically trained throughout most of her early life. She began classical piano lessons at the age of 8, was an active member of several choirs and began taking classical voice lessons when she began high school. She eventually took her love of singing to the Quad Cities and obtained a Bachelor’s degree in music with an emphasis on voice at Augustana College. During her college years she spent a summer living in Novafeltria, Italy, learning the language and touring and studying opera. Initially she planned on becoming an opera singer, but quickly realized that rock and soul music were more her style.

Having listened to those around her, telling her that music and the arts were difficult fields to have a career in, Lauren followed the safe path in life, making sure she had a "back-up" plan while working on her music and performing. This led her to The University of Kansas to complete her Masters degree in music therapy. During her masters, she spent time training as a therapist in jails, schools and hospice. In order to pay for school, while working on her masters, she worked full time as a preschool teacher and as a caregiver for adults with Intellectual Disabilities. After she graduated, she completed her internship on Whidbey Island in Washington State, where she practiced music therapy in the Whidbey General Hospital. After her internship, she moved back to Kansas City where she worked for several years as a music therapist on a pediatric unit and at a school for at-risk youth in Kansas City. While working on the pediatric unit, she completed her masters degree with a thesis and research study on the use of music therapy to improve respiratory function and quality of life with children with Cystic Fibrosis.

After officially completing her masters in 2012, Lauren’s love of singing and songwriting was still alive and burning inside her. She began performing solo gigs around the greater Kansas City area and eventually put together a full band. Right after she began performing more regularly, she developed a blood clot in her left arm and was soon diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet

The Spikes, a band whose music is gaining attention for its powerful storytelling and emotional depth.

Their debut single, “Guns for the Children,” confronts the urgent issue of gun violence and its impact on kids, making a strong social statement through their music. Building on that momentum, their latest singles, “Dancing (In the Palm of My Hand)” and “Sapling Tree”, showcase their versatility—“Dancing” explores themes of control and emotional complexity, while “Sapling Tree” reflects on growth, resilience, and personal introspection.

The Spikes have a full album scheduled for release later this year, continuing to explore meaningful themes through dynamic and engaging music.

Nashville, TN – Rising Nashville metalcore trio To Fight For have unleashed their most urgent and vulnerable track yet, “Brightly” , the first single from their forthcoming Glorify Deluxe Reissue EP— out now on all major streaming platforms.

The track delivers a sonic gut-punch wrapped in soaring melody, calling out the lies we live in while pointing toward something bigger, brighter, and truer.

“Brightly” tears through with serrated breakdowns, massive hooks, and gospel-tinged vocals burning with conviction. Beyond its heavy, cathartic sound, the song dives deep into themes of emptiness, sin, and self-deception—while clinging to redemption and courage to let a brighter light shine through.

“This song is about realizing the weight of who you’ve become and crying out for something better,” says To Fight For. “It’s about rejecting the lies we’ve bought into, choosing truth, and letting the light of God shine in a way the world can’t dim. We hope listeners hear their own lives in it—and also hear hope.”

Lyrics That Resonate, Riffs That Redeem

From the desperate opening line, “Remember when we were innocent / But now we live in sin,” to the crushing climax, “We’re all bleeding from the inside / Cause we’re drowning in the world’s lies,” “Brightly” perfectly blends vulnerability with ferocity. The track is a testament to the band’s mission—not chasing trends, but transcending them.

A New Chapter Begins

“Brightly” kicks off a series of five singles dropping every six weeks, leading up to the Glorify Deluxe Reissue EP in May 2026 .

With high-energy performances alongside Convictions , Heal the Hurt , and this year’s Distilled Alliance Tour with Gatecloser and Ashes Reign , To Fight For enters this new chapter with sharpened intent and unshakable authenticity.

Sheriff Mack's bio and pictures are attached. As for the bio, feel free to use as much or as little as you need. That goes for the headshots and pictures as well.

Here are three things that CSPOA is focusing on:

1. Deportation: The sheriffs need to help with it to keep it peaceful and effective

2. To-do list for President Trump

A. Defund Planned Parenthood

B. Abolish Federal Reserve and IRS

3. Having Constitutional Sheriffs is just as important now as it ever was. They are being attacked relentlessly. The question is Why? We have to work together to put a stop to the attacks.

Here are a few points of interest as well:

- Mack/Printz v US is the Supreme Court ruling that he won on the 10th amendment! It's the first time in history that a sheriff filed a lawsuit against the federal government. Sheriff Mack felt he had to do it, to protect the office of sheriff all across America. The federal government tried to commandeer the office of sheriff nationally, threatened to fine and/or arrest sheriffs, if they failed to comply with their unlawful legislation. (An interesting point that came about because of Sheriff Mack's supreme court win is; there were 5 Brady Bills scheduled to be passed one year after the other for 5 years. At that point the 2nd amendment would have been completely destroyed. With the win of the Mack/Printz case, it shut those down.) *picture of "Supreme Court Ruling" booklet, which is on sale on the CSPOA website. It's a highlighted version of the ruling, about the size of a pocket Constitution.

-The organization that Sheriff Mack started: Constitutional Sheriffs & Peace Officers Association- It's an organization that brings citizens, law enforcement, sheriffs, and elected officials together. It's solution oriented. Taking our country back in a peaceful and effective way, at the local and state level. There is an annual membership available. *picture of the cover of his No.1 book, "The County Sheriff-America's Last Hope"
