Chicago releases video of 13-yr-old shot and killed by cops in dark alley Headline: Chicago officials release videos of police shooting that killed 13-year-old Adam Toledo The First take: We saw the video. We are as shocked as you should be. We also know the entire story of the tragic end to the life of 13-yr-old Adam Toledo in a dark Chicago alley has not fully been revealed. So many questions remain to be answered, not the least of which is, "What was this barely-a-teenager doing out on the streets of Chicago at 2:30 in the morning?" And, why did it take almost three weeks for this story to surface?  READ IT ALL HERE BONUS: CNN legal analyst calls CPD shooting of 13-yr-old "tragic" but also says it was "reasonable"

Wake up! Beijing bumps NYC as the place with the most billionaires Headline: Beijing Displaces New York To Become The World's Billionaire Capital The First take: On Thursday, financial expert Carol Roth wrote, "The U.S. has exported Capitalism and imported Central Planning.

Jim Jordan faces off with Dr. Fauci on liberty vs lockdowns Headline: Watch Jordan Erupt on Fauci After Admitting He Doesn’t View COVID Lockdowns as a ‘Liberty Thing’ The First take: We understand Jim Jordan's frustrtation. Like many Americans, we suffer from extreme "Fauci fatigue" caused by the endless flip-flops and almost weekly moving of the COVID goal posts. All we expect from the government's highest paid employee is unvarnished, fact-filled information. The Fauci-types are always telling us to "follow the science." OK, give us a science-driven target to hit and we will work to get there.  CHECK OUT THE DETAILS Bonus: Maxine Waters tells Jim Jordan, "Shut your mouth!"
