@Chicago_NFL A top ten pick next year’s draft incoming if Williams is done.

@LombardiHimself It was just another gimmick game played at a neutral site. Get in and get out treat it like any other game. Too bad the Rams season ticket holders lost out on a home game.

@suemoon74 @totheverystart Great point! Give the kids computers and use them all day and now 7-10 years later they can’t have their phones in skewl after being taught to be dependent on electronics?

@ComEd All these LED lights that are supposed to save us money and our bills keep going up? Windmills and Solar for acres and no relief? I’m glad my ever increasing ComEd bill pays for your charity honey . Cool story!

@ClayTravis The playbook has always been to bully until you get what you want. John Elway, Eli Manning, and Earvin Johnson set the precedent for athletes to force teams to give them what they want. If #5 turns out to be good like they did, nobody will ever bring it up again.

@jk_rowling @AndrewMercado If skewls are teaching children they can be whatever they want to be and give them books and hide it from adults, then why are adults scrutinized when exercising the same thing the ‘responsible’ adults are teaching children? Is there an age limit?

But protests/riots acceptable to the point contact tracing was halted for those gatherings.

@ChicagoContrar1 But be sure to send them just $10/month for your free PBS socks and for $20/month you get the socks, a CD, and a DVD of this interview.

@LizMacDonaldFOX If Canada forces its industries and citizenry with monetary fines for not being carbon compliant, or whatever it’s called, who fines Canada?

[Tim Sheehy @TimSheehyMT]

As a former waterbomber pilot who used to lead an aerial firefighting fleet, I can tell you “send help” is an extremely dishonest framing by the Canadian government.

The Canadian government routinely blocks U.S. firefighting companies from attacking fires in Canada, while aggressively sending their government-subsidized aircraft to the U.S. to earn commercial rates from the U.S. taxpayer. It’s big business for them and they run it like a Chinese protectionist racket.

@IllinoisReview And thus, you have all these retread Police/Fire Chiefs (all management really) prohibiting qualified candidates from internally promoting by giving their pensioner buddies the highest paying jobs. The highest wage earners then don't contribute to the underfunded pension.
