The worst sound in the world comes from the throat of a father or mother of a child killed by an illegal protected by powerful politicians as the news media begins to edge away from them, ignoring their child and their pain.
It is the sound of anguish. You can hear it in Chicago.
I’ve been hearing it far too much lately, that desperate sound in the throat of a grieving parent. Their sorrow overwhelms them. The fact that their sorrow is ignored by journalism as journalism serves political lords overwhelms them. Their throats begin to clench and what remains is a climbing ladder of anguish and a high-pitch screeching for desperate breath.
You may think of the many angel moms and dads out in America mourning those kids, from Kate Steinle, shot in the back in 2015 while holding her father’s hand as they walked on a pier in San Francisco. “Dad, help me,” she said as she collapsed, “Help me.”
Laken Riley was a Georgia nursing student who also was senselessly killed in February 2024. And Katie Abraham from Illinois, slaughtered and forgotten as she sat quietly in a car waiting at a red light in Urbana with friends, as a car driven by a drunken illegal hurtled down upon them at 75 miles per hour. And so many, many others killed by migrants here illegally in the United States, all of the illegal migrants ushered into the United States by Democrats and former President Joseph Biden.
Billons of dollars were spent on the illegal migrants by American taxpayers whose children were killed by those tax subsidized illegals, some by gunfire, some by a crushing blow with a rock, some by the impact of a vehicle driven by the illegal while drunk. In each case there was silence from Democrats, and silence from the news media lest mention of the dead anger the partisan leftist subscribers.
In the midst of that crushing silence, anguished parents want their murdered children to have mattered, but the media and leftist political indifference angers them and their throats begin to close up as they raise their voices. Their screeching digs deeply into anyone who hears them and are possessed of human souls.
And now Sheridan Gorman, the 18-year-old freshman at Loyola University who was recently out with friends at the lake shore hoping to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights when illegal Jose Medina-Medina—who had already been arrested for another crime–fired shots at them with a gun.
Gorman was hit in the back as she tried to run away. She died. Chicago Police detectives used facial recognition technology to track her killer down.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) placed the blame for the murder of Sheridan Gorman not on the Biden Democrats protecting illegal migrants–or lavishing billions upon them as they wreak havoc in the cities–but on President Trump.
The governor said part of the blame for the murder belongs to the Trump administration because they have not stuck to their “edict” of targeting the “worst of the worst” when it comes to illegal migrants.
“This has been a terrible tragedy, and I know that the Gorman family has suffered mightily,” he said. “I agree, there have been real failures. Those failures, of course, extend beyond the borders of Illinois. It’s their national failures, a failure to have comprehensive immigration reform, a failure of the president to follow his own edict to go after the worst of the worst.”
That’s about the most disgraceful thing I’ve heard come out of J.B.’s mouth.
A terrible tragedy like JB Pritzker playing Illinois for fools and getting elected? I kept waiting for editorials condemning Pritzker, but I didn’t see them. That tells you what you need to know about Chicago media. It’s dead. A feast for crows.
