not enough money to protect Ukraine's democracy but plenty to bail out this crypto dork after he tanked his economy

Fun story this morning. I spoke with Curtis Evans, the retired Marine in the viral photo below who took part in the anti-ICE protest at Broadview. He's a thoughtful guy, well read and with a dry sense of humor. Story @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-...

Chicago's violent crime is down double-digit percentage points so far in 2025 compared to 2024, according to a CBS News analysis of Chicago Police Department data.

According to the announcer, when these river swims happened in the past there were 100,000s of spectators and we will get back to that in future years

Chris Sarandon plays such a creepy vampire in “Fright Night” (1985). Colin Farrell did the role justice in the 2011 reboot.

Every time Harrison Butker misses a kick a woman gets admitted to college.

Da Bears and Chiefs still have the same record three games into the season.

The Man of Steel (Bones). Still dead though. Not even St. Paul could’ve done that.

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

It was the best of times, it was whatever times.

"I’m free today because of this advocacy,” Soliman said. “Don’t underestimate your voice."

Ominous. Israeli media is widely reporting that Netanyahu believes he has a blank check from the US to unilaterally retaliate against yesterday’s recognition of a Palestinian state by the UK, France, Canada, Australia, etc. He’s “weighing annexation,” reports the Jerusalem Post. 🧵

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

“Behind closed doors” being the most important words. fortune.com/2025/09/21/b...

Don’t remember knowing there was another “Charlie’s Angels” movie in 2019 with a completely new cast of “angels.” Big names. [BTW, as a young Gen X boy, I never owned that famous Farrah Fawcett poster. lol]

Have seen Joan Jett a number of times over many years, including opening for The Who, and she rocks. No other way to put it.

That song has long been considered (since day one) as a gay theme, although the guy who sings it has denied that.

Concussion Protocol invoked…

Executive orders cannot supersede federal law or the constitution. Federal law sets visa fees, including for H-1B visas. And the maximum fee is $4,500, according to the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-113). Current State Dept. site: travel.state.gov/content/trav...

I would hope so!

Cheering what soldiers? As a Tennessee journalist who has been monitoring these developments, I can tell you the Guard has not yet been deployed!

“And then his last words to me were ‘Sir, finish the ballroom!’”

I’m sure the American government is preparing a response to this deadly action by a foreign government against our citizens.

Matt Eberflus would never!

Disney didn’t want the entertainment reporters asking uncomfortable questions on the red carpet, eh?

Here’s Dua Lipa covering “September” here in Chicago from earlier this month.

Caleb Williams just put together the best game of his NFL career 🔥 ◽️ 19/28 ◽️ 298 pass yards ◽️ 4 TD ◽️ 0 INT His performance comes against a Cowboys defense run by Matt Eberflus, his former head coach.

The US attorney in Maryland, Kelly Hayes, is now telling people she's bracing for pressure to bring charges against Adam Schiff. But she also won't do so if the facts don't warrant it, NYT reports. More evidence that Trump's corruption is running into deep institutional resistance (see below).

PAGING SEAN DUFFY

says the least religious (or Christian) man in America.

The first time I saw David Bowie in 1990, there was a drunk guy walking out of the venue after the show yelling that there’s no way the show could be over because Bowie didn’t perform “Modern Love.” Fair point. He did do it the next time at the same venue.

People were willingly jumping into and swimming in the Chicago River today, eh. The good news is you can do that now. At least as part of an official event.

Yeah, I had to try three sites to cancel Disney+ but the runaround only made me more determined to do it.

Incredible image. Also incredible that the vast majority of white Christians in this country align with the men in camo.

A moving eulogy

“My fear is they’re trying to make examples of people like myself as a way to scare people. But I’m here, and I’m not scared.”

Maybe the look is because the Groper-In-Chief was all over her.

And that’s that, huh.

Saw someone make a joke about this and here it is…

Jesus wouldn’t have needed Simon’s help if the cross had had wheels on it like this fucking guy’s.

They don’t seem very sad that he died

Are we sure Carlson isn’t the Joker?

She should go for it!
