Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Calls for Ceasefire in Gaza – Gets Called Out for Constant Shootings in His City

 

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has called for a ceasefire in Gaza, because all of the cool kids on the left are doing that now.

You would think that a man in charge of a city that sees multiple shootings every week would know better than to even bring up this topic, but that apparently didn’t occur to Johnson.

People on social media quickly reminded him.

FOX News reports:

Chicago mayor calls for Gaza cease-fire, but social media reminds him of violence gripping his own city

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson was lampooned Thursday after calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war when many pointed out that his own city could use one.

Chicago has become infamous for its crime crisis. Fox News analyst Gianno Caldwell, who lost his 18-year-old brother to a 2022 shooting incident in Chicago, has called his hometown an “active war zone.”

Johnson has joined other progressives in calling for a cease-fire in Gaza, saying “the killings need to stop,” but his remarks didn’t go over well with conservatives when Chicago PBS reporter Heather Cherone shared them on social media.

What does this even have to do with being the mayor of Chicago?

BREAKING: Mayor Brandon Johnson joins the call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, saying that “the killing needs to stop” after the deaths of 25,000 Palestinians, and supports the resolution that the City Council did not vote on today.
Johnson: “We need a ceasefire.” @wttw

People responded:

Has he achieved a ceasefire in Chicago and moved on to international diplomacy now?

Netanyahu should call for a ceasefire in Chicago https://t.co/PJquwuG61P

Mayor Brandon Johnson should stick to #Chicago politics, it looks like he’s failing miserably on the local level.

Parts of Chicago are a war zone.

Real question – Has a Chicago mayor or city council ever devoted so much time and effort on a foreign war? If so, when?

Perhaps Mayor Johnson could focus on enforcing Chicago’s many gun laws and arresting criminals before he ventures into the world of foreign policy.

Professional Dancer With Peanut Allergy Dies After Eating Mislabeled Cookies From Popular Grocery Store

 Órla Baxendale (1998 – 2024/The Ailey School

A 25-year-old professional dancer was killed after eating a peanut-containing cookie that was mistakenly labeled at a popular supermarket in New York City.

New York Post reports,

Órla Baxendale, 25, went into anaphylactic shock resulting from a severe allergic reaction as she ate a Vanilla Florentine cookie on Jan. 11, attorney Marijo Adimey said in a statement Wednesday.

Baxendale, a UK native, ate the treat at a social gathering in Connecticut, according to News 12.

“Órla’s passing stemmed from an unfortunate incident involving the consumption of a cookie manufactured by Cookies United and sold by Stew Leonard’s, which contained undisclosed peanuts,” Adimey wrote.

“This tragic oversight has led to the recall of the Vanilla Florentine Cookies from Stew Leonard’s stores in Danbury and Newington, CT, for the period of November 6 – December 31, 2023.”

 

Adimey shared that an investigation into Baxendale’s death revealed “gross negligence and reckless conduct of the manufacturer and/or sellers” for not stating on the cookies’ packaging that the product contained peanuts.

“This failure in proper disclosure has led to this devastating yet preventable outcome,” the attorney wrote.

The Manchester native moved to New York City to train as a scholarship student at the Ailey School in 2018, according to the school’s website.

Apparently, Stew Leonard’s did not receive notice of a change in ingredients for the vanilla Florentine Cookies that they buy from a Long Island bakery.

The wholesaler, Cookies United, however, claimed it did share the change in ingredients with the regional supermarket chain months before Baxendale’s death.

“Stew Leonard’s claimed in an earlier press release that ‘the cookies contain peanuts, which was an ingredient not disclosed to Stew Leonard’s by the manufacturer,’” United Cookies wrote in a statement Tuesday.

“Unfortunately, considering the tragedy of these circumstances, we need to point out that Stew Leonard’s was notified by Cookies United in July of 2023 that this product now contains peanuts, and all products shipped to them have been labeled accordingly.”

According to the wholesaler, Stew Leonard’s changed the packaging to match its brand, but failed to properly label the cookies as containing peanuts.
