Dearest Gertrude,

Times are brutal as this sickening war has taken a toll on us. We’ve taken up shelter behind Wrigley building. Rations are limited to weird hot dogs with vegetables on top. I learned ketchup doesn’t belong on hot dogs. Sadly, Cubs lost to Brewers & morale is low.

Love,
Winston

I believe the south side Chicago building was “full of Tren de Aragua gang members” about as much as I believe the Venezuelan boats are filled with “narcoterrotists”.

The regime will say anything to justify unreasonable, and even lethal, force.
