(End of the American Dream)—Will we soon see rioting in major cities all over America? The city on the west coast that has the most people living in it illegally is Los Angeles, and we have already seen what happened there. The city on the east coast with the most people living in it illegally is New York, and we have been witnessing quite a bit of civil unrest in the Big Apple this week. But I am even more concerned about the city of Chicago. It is one of the most lawless major cities in the industrialized world, and according to Google AI it is home to a very large number of migrants…
It’s difficult to provide an exact number of undocumented immigrants in Chicago as official statistics aren’t readily available. However, a recent report from the Migration Policy Institute estimated that roughly 511,000 undocumented immigrants reside in Illinois, with a significant portion (36%) located in the city of Chicago itself. This suggests a large, but not precisely known, undocumented immigrant population within Chicago.
There are about 11,000 police officers in Chicago.
Needless to say, they are vastly outnumbered.
When push comes to shove, President Trump is probably going to have to call in the National Guard.
On Tuesday, a driver plowed through a massive crowd of protesters in downtown Chicago, and one woman was seriously injured…
A driver plowed through a group of protesters Tuesday in the Loop, apparently striking at least one pedestrian, as thousands marched through downtown Chicago protesting the Trump administration’s ongoing immigration raids.
In a scene witnessed by a Sun-Times reporter, the driver was stuck between police vehicles on State Street. Officers sought to guide her away from the crowd and asked her to turn right on Monroe Street, but she instead turned left, heading into the crowd.
One officer tried to get the driver to stop and pulled on the driver’s-side door handle, but the driver sped off.
Shortly after the car plowed through the crowd, it appeared to hit a woman who fell to the ground.
The woman that was injured is 66 years old, and she suffered a broken arm.
Then on Wednesday, protesters flooded into the downtown area once again…
Anti-ICE protests have erupted in Chicago, including a massive gathering downtown on Wednesday evening, prompting crowds to flood the streets.
There were some incidents of vandalism, and one 66-year-old woman was injured when she was hit by a car on Tuesday.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson claimed the city’s police have responded appropriately in managing crowds at immigration protests in recent days.
Just like we saw in Los Angeles, there have been reports of protesters hurling objects at law enforcement officers. It isn’t going to take much for things to spiral out of control.
Meanwhile, we continue to see crazed leftists get arrested in New York…
They shouldn’t have trouble making bail.
Cops cuffed 86 demonstrators at a rowdy anti-ICE rally in Lower Manhattan Tuesday, among them the daughter of a Moroccan actor, a self-proclaimed poet from an upscale college and a coed whose family owns a posh home in the Hamptons, The Post has learned.
“My sense is, the vast majority of the 2,500 people that were there, were there to protest peacefully,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said on Fox 5 News. “There was a smaller group of a few hundred where we did have to make arrests. Some of them were looking for trouble.”
There are about 36,000 police officers in the Big Apple.
So the truth is that New York is in better shape than Chicago, but there still won’t be enough law enforcement personnel to deal with what is ahead.
Interestingly, it is being reported that Chicago and New York are two of the cities where the Trump administration will be deploying ICE tactical units…
Donald Trump is set to deploy ICE tactical units to five Democrat-run cities amid the riots in Los Angeles as Gavin Newsom nearly broke into tears while blaming his administration for inciting the California chaos.
The military-style units are set to storm New York City, Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia and northern Virginia, MSNBC reported. Four of those five are heavily blue cities, while northern Virginia contains the Democrat enclave of Alexandria.
But will that be enough?
Of course not.
And we aren’t just seeing unrest in the major cities.
On Tuesday, there was an ICE raid in Omaha…
Immigration authorities raided an Omaha meat production plant Tuesday morning and took dozens of workers away in buses, leaving company officials bewildered because they said they had followed the law.
The raid happened around 9 a.m. at Glenn Valley Foods in south Omaha, an area where nearly a quarter of residents were foreign born according to the 2020 census.
As the raid was happening, “local agitators” were causing all sorts of chaos…
During the bust, local agitators began showing up to harass agents and impede federal vehicles.
Young thugs can be seen pelting departing SUVs with rocks and projectiles, shattering at least one window, according to Flatwater Free Press.
Other agitators climbed onto a Suburban, forcing officers to physically remove them on several occasions.
Is the National Guard going to be sent to Omaha too?
Needless to say, they can’t be everywhere.
In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott has just deployed the National Guard to San Antonio…
The Texas National Guard has been deployed to San Antonio as demonstrations against ICE raids are planned.
Governor Greg Abbott sent the guard members to the Alamo City Tuesday night.
The move comes as protestors plan to demonstrate against raids conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement Officers.
In a statement, Abbott warned that he is going to do whatever is necessary “to uphold law and order across our state”…
“The State of Texas stands ready to deploy all necessary personnel and resources to uphold law and order across our state. Texas National Guard soldiers are on standby in areas where mass demonstrations are planned in case they are needed. Peaceful protests are part of the fabric of our nation, but Texas will not tolerate the lawlessness we have seen in Los Angeles. Anyone engaging in acts of violence or damaging property will be swiftly held accountable to the full extent of the law.”
What we are witnessing is extremely serious.
I have been warning my readers about the tremendous civil unrest that would be coming for years, and now it is upon us.
Everyone is focused on Los Angeles right now, and rightly so, but I think that eventually Chicago is going to be one of our biggest problems.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
