Fun fact. Donald Trump has more rape allegations against him than the current number of trans athletes competing in the NCAA..

Good luck all the people in Texas this weekend. Hope you're stocking up on firewood, food, water, blankets, beer or getting tickets to Cancun.

This is how it's done
With masked armed federal agents sitting at the corner and circling the St. Paul neighborhood for quite some time, about 50-100 neighbors came out to blow whistles. This man says this is his neighborhood and thanks everyone who came out.

The agents have all left.

Lots of Bears fans remained in the stands as Bears players exited the field.

I’m sad the Bears lost, but it was a good game and me proud to be a Chicago native and have them as my football team. I guess that all I can ask for..

Stolen Valor.. Where is Don Shipley?
Donald Trump spent the last 10 years claiming "DEI" stood for "Didn't Earn It" and now he proudly boasts about a Nobel Peace Prize he didn't earn.

"You can either drive an electric car or go to jail for a year. Which do you choose?
Jail..."
