I admit that, over the years, I may have engaged in hyperbole from time to time. I’m not going to say that I’ve committed the worst hyperbole of all time — that would be hyperbolic — but I may have exaggerated for effect on occasion.
And so when I declare that someone is, quite possibly, the worst leader of a city in the entire history of this country, and possibly in the history of every other country, you may think that this is one of those occasions of hyperbole.
Indeed, the competition for the worst mayor title is so fierce, especially in recent years, and there are so many esteemed nominees for the award — the Ugandan guy in charge of New York City right now being one of them — that it seems impossible to pick one specific winner.
And yet, despite the stiff competition and the valiant efforts by guys like Mamdani to claim the title for themselves, I still believe that the current mayor of Chicago, a bloated clown named Brandon Johnson, may — when all is said and done — go down as the worst mayor in the history of mayordom.
And he is legendarily dreadful in ways that make him the perfect representation — a mascot, really — of what has become of the Democrat Party. And of all of Brandon’s colossally clownish moments, perhaps his worst came just this past week.
I’m going to read what he posted on Sunday. And as I do, keep in mind that this post was written and published on the heels of a weekend where six people were murdered in Chicago. 39 others were injured in shootings. All of this was, of course, black-on-black violence, mostly related to drugs and other crimes.
But Brandon wasn’t thinking about that on Sunday. Instead, he was focused on something else.
Something totally imaginary:
For too many transgender Chicagoans, the sense of belonging they deserve in their city has been denied by exclusion and barriers to opportunity in spaces that should feel safe and welcoming. Since declaring a Transfemicide State of Emergency, our administration has strengthened the City’s capacity to support LGBTQ+ Chicagoans. This framework builds on that work by centering the voices and lived experiences of trans Chicagoans to chart a path toward a safer, more connected city.

You heard that right. It sounded exactly like you heard it: “Blah blah blah, Transfemicide State of Emergency, blah blah blah.” He just drops it in there, like it’s a real thing. And then he continues right along, as if nothing ever happened. Indeed, based on the implication contained in this post, it appears that a “transfemicide state of emergency” has been ongoing for quite some time in Chicago, and everyone’s just missed it. And now we know.
I had to look this up to make sure it wasn’t an elaborate prank. It turns out that, as advertised, Brandon Johnson first signed an executive order declaring an ongoing “transfemicide state of emergency” in 2024.
The order is titled “EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 2024-2: DECLARATION OF TRANSFEMICIDE EMERGENCY AND ESTABLISHMENT OF WORKING GROUP ON TRANSFEMICIDE AND PROTECTIONS FOR THE TRANSGENDER AND GENDER-DIVERSE COMMUNITY.”
So what is “transfemicide,” you might ask? And why is it an emergency? These are good questions. And if you read on, the executive order explains everything. Here’s what it says:
WHEREAS, Chicago is the deadliest city in the nation for Black trans women; WHEREAS transfemicide, which is the killing of a trans woman because of her gender identity, especially when motivated by transmisogyny, is an example of violence and discrimination which this city should work against. … WHEREAS … the accurate reporting and tracking of hate incidents and hate crimes, including transfemicide where the victim is Black, Indigenous, Latine, or a Person of Color, is essential to identifying trends and implementing effective measures to combat violence and discrimination, and WHEREAS city government seeks to act swiftly and effectively to provide help and support for our residents and employees, now therefore, I, Brandon Johnson, do hereby order the creation of a working group.
It’s an interesting document. The phrasing — words like “whereas” and “I do hereby order” — makes it sound like some sort of magisterial decree. But then everything in between those words — “transfemicide,” “Latine,” “gender identity” — makes it sound like the ramblings of a purple-haired 21-year-old gender studies major with a personality disorder. And in that way it perfectly captures Brandon Johnson’s vibe and the vibe of the party he represents.
According to this emergency declaration, they’re very concerned about transfemicide — but in particular, they’re concerned about transfemicide that’s motivated by transmisogyny, and to get even more particular, they’re especially worried about transfemicide that’s motivated by transmisogyny that impacts a Person of Color, a Latine, an Indigenous person, or a Black person.
If you’re “genocided” and it was transfemicide but not transmisogyny, then you go to the back of the line. And don’t even bother complaining about getting trans-genocided if you’re white. That would just be ridiculous, no matter how misogynistic your attacker was.
All of this may seem incoherent and/or redundant to you, but rest assured, it all makes perfect sense. And it’s all vitally necessary, according to Brandon, because “Chicago is the deadliest city in the nation for Black trans women.” Urgent measures are needed in response to this epidemic of violence. Working groups must be assembled. Emergency declarations must be issued. Someone turn on the Bat signal. We need reinforcements.
But wait a minute, you might ask. What exactly does it mean to be the “deadliest city in the nation for black trans women”? If you’ve been following this show for a while, you know that trans-identifying individuals have a much lower risk of being murdered, on a per capita basis, than nearly every other demographic group in the country.
They have a much higher risk of suicide because they’re in a constant state of war with their own biology. They’re also a much greater threat to the public than the average person, for the same reason. But in terms of being murdered, trans-identifying individuals are far safer on average than, say, straight white men.
So how can there be a “transfemicide emergency” anywhere, much less in the Democrat stronghold of Chicago? How many “Black trans women” are dying exactly, in order to make Chicago the deadliest city in America for “black trans women”? Does it turn out that Chicago actually is MAGA country after all? Have we all been giving Jussie Smollett a hard time unjustifiably?
Well, let’s take a look. In fact, let’s try this as a pop quiz. Can you guess how many trans-identifying people — of any kind, not just black — were murdered in Chicago last year? This is a city where more than 400 homicides took place in 2025. Given that baseline, and given that we’re talking about a black transfem genocide here, what’s your best guess?
In fact, let’s extend this out to the entire state. How many trans-identifying people, of any race, do you think were murdered in Chicago or anywhere else in the state of Illinois in the entire year of 2025? What do you think? This is a genocide, remember. A state of emergency. The mayor has made a task force to deal with it. So what’s the number? How many dozens or hundreds of trans-identified individuals have lost their lives in this slaughter? 200? 150? 75? Surely it must be at least 50 at a bare minimum.
As it happens, after looking into it, the answer is zero. Zero trans-identifying people were murdered in the city of Chicago, or anywhere else in the state, in 2025. And by extension, zero black “trans women” were murdered in the city of Chicago in 2025. Yes, the city of Chicago has declared a state of emergency over a genocide of so-called “trans people” in which zero of those people were murdered.
This is the first genocide in history to kill zero people. And I can make that determination because, after scouring the public databases of the left-wing activist groups HRC and the “Trans Remembrance Project” — both of which extensively track the deaths of trans-identifying individuals — there isn’t a single fatality listed in the entire state of Illinois for the past year.
And believe me, if someone identifying as trans had died in Illinois, for any reason whatsoever — if they’d died in a car accident or slipped on a banana peel and hit their head — these websites would’ve posted about it. In order to secure donations, both the HRC and the “Trans Remembrance Project” go out of their way to document every trans fatality they can find — even though, in literally every case, the fatalities have one of four causes.
Either it’s a suicide, a random killing that had nothing to do with the person identifying as trans, it was a murder by a black guy who hired a prostitute and was furious to discover that “she” was really a “he,” or it was a death due to natural causes. That’s it.
They don’t have a single case on their website that supports this fantasy of a “trans genocide” at the hands of white supremacist neo-Nazis. As the stats clearly show, a trans person is an order of magnitude more likely to kill a white Christian than to be killed by a white Christian.
This is a point worth belaboring because it’s both very dark and honestly very amusing on some level. We’ll start with the latest database of trans fatalities from the Trans Remembrance Project, which runs from November 1, 2024, to October 31, 2025.
They report that, in total, there were just 58 deaths of trans-identifying people in that one-year period. And of those 58 deaths, 21 were suicides, and 27 were “violent deaths.” Now, if you’re up on your math, you might realize that 21 and 27 do not add up to 58. That’s because 10 of the deaths had nothing to do with anything. They were natural deaths. The person just dropped dead from cancer or something like that. I’m not kidding — they include deaths of old age and cancer in their tally of 58 deaths of trans-identifying people.
That’s how desperate they are to inflate the numbers. They’re trying to make the case that there’s a genocide, and so they include in the figures people who died of, like, heart disease. That’s how fundamentally dishonest these people are, which is no surprise.
One of those kinds of fatalities is Eli Stablein, 49, of Tucson, who “passed away after a long battle with kidney cancer.” Presumably, the kidney cancer was highly transphobic.
Just think about how absurd all of this is at the outset. The people talking about a “trans genocide” are aware of only 27 violent deaths in total, involving trans-identifying victims. That’s 27 people who were killed in a population of over 340 million people.
According to an estimate from UCLA, there are 2.8 million Americans over the age of 13 who identify as some classification of “transgender.” With just 27 homicides per year, that comes out to a per capita murder rate of 0.96 per 100,000.
For comparison, the homicide rate for black men in the United States is 46 per 100,000. For white men, it’s 5.7 per 100,000. For Asian men, it’s 1.5 per 100,000. For black women, it’s 7.8 per 100,000. For white women, it’s 1.9 per 100,000. The only demographic in the country with a lower per capita murder rate than trans-identifying individuals is Asian women, at 0.5 per 100,000. That’s it. Everyone else is getting “genocided” at a far higher rate.
And the statistics get even worse for the trans activists when you look at how, precisely, these trans-identifying people are supposedly getting “genocided.” This is something they really don’t want you to do, so I’m going to do it. Here’s one trans-identifying individual on the list — a man dressing as a woman and using the name “Kamora Woods.”
Note that this person was not killed in Chicago, because again, no trans-identifying people were killed in Chicago last year. This story comes from Indianapolis, which is close enough, I suppose.
According to the “Trans Remembrance Project,” Kamora Woods “loved animals and making people laugh. She had a ‘big heart,’ lit up the room around her and was proud of who she was as a transgender woman.” Air quotes around “her” and “she,” of course.
So there’s not much information there as to how, exactly, poor Kamora met his violent end. And that’s odd, given that the whole point of this project is to expose a trans genocide. You’d think a lot of details would be forthcoming to expose the white supremacist menace. But they don’t include any details at all.
So I went looking for them. And I discovered, to my shock, the following information from the local Fox affiliate:
Woods was found half-naked in her bedroom, shot in the head. … Court documents detail how detectives identified a suspect by using a fingerprint on a condom wrapper collected at the scene. It matched 23-year-old James Wallace, a convicted felon with an active warrant for allegedly tampering with his GPS monitor in November. Security video from the Scarborough Lake Apartments showed a woman getting out of Woods’ car and entering her building at 2:14 p.m. on June 25, according to court documents. At 2:41, another vehicle entered the property, later discovered to be a Lyft ride, and dropped off a man believed to be Wallace. But only 17 minutes after the man was seen entering the building, he walked back out and left the complex alone. … Documents said Wallace told police he knew Woods “from local bars and clubs,” and found her contact information online. … Investigators said Wallace had also pawned the victim’s cell phone. When they brought him in for questioning, he said he didn’t want her to call for help. … He denied knowing Woods was transgender.
Hearing this, we all know what James Wallace looks like. But in case there’s any doubt, here you go:

This is why they don’t provide any details about any of the people who are actually committing this so-called “trans genocide” that doesn’t exist. In the rare cases where it’s a legitimate murder — as opposed to an accident or illness — trans-identifying victims are prostitutes who are getting killed by black men. And those black men are usually upset to discover that the prostitute is actually a man and not a woman as advertised, so they start shooting and stabbing. And in some cases, they start robbing too — although that was probably the plan all along, regardless of whether the prostitute was secretly a man or not.
This is the part you’re not supposed to say out loud: If we actually arrested all of the people — what few of them exist — who are committing this fake “trans genocide” that the Left is always talking about, we’d be arresting black people — and basically only black people. And the more the Left blames “Donald Trump’s rhetoric” and “transphobia,” the more obvious it becomes that they want you to ignore this very obvious fact. Kamala Harris voters are killing people constantly, and occasionally a trans-identifying person is thrown into the mix in the name of diversity. Diversity is our strength, after all.
And more importantly, to the extent that trans-identifying people are getting murdered — and it’s happening very, very rarely — they’re not being hunted down because they identify as transgender. They’re being killed in domestic disputes by people they’ve allowed into their homes — often under false pretenses. This is the exact opposite of a genocide. In a genocide (or a “transfemicide”), a group of people is exterminated because of some identifiable characteristic in a systematic fashion. What’s happening to the two dozen or so trans-identifying murder victims is not remotely systematic. They’re extremely unlucky people, from a statistical perspective. And they’re inviting their killers into their homes in order to have sex with them for money — usually by lying about their gender.
In case you’re wondering how people in Chicago tolerate this, the answer is that they’ve given up at this point. Johnson has a 7% approval rating — yes, a 7% approval rating — which is the lowest ever recorded for any mayor of Chicago. Lori Lightfoot, who had both the look and leadership skills of Beetlejuice, only went as low as 27% or so. This is from M3 Strategies, which ran the poll:
79.9% of voters disapprove of Johnson, with just 6.6% holding a favorable view—a net favorability of negative 73.3%. … 67% say crime is Chicago’s biggest issue, outpacing high taxes (54%) and inflation (41%). Issues like LGBTQ+ rights (3%) and reproductive freedoms (4%) rank among the lowest priorities.
So the mayor, seeing that no one in Chicago cares about “LGBT issues,” decides to declare a state of emergency over a non-existent “transfemicide” — even though trans-identifying people are the only people who aren’t getting shot to death in his city.
No city is a better illustration of the perpetual rot that inevitably follows decades of one-party rule by Democrats than Chicago. No mayor is a better illustration of their incompetence and maliciousness than Brandon Johnson.
