@vanishedchicago@PeteKastanes Thank you for the joy you brought to your posts and the wonderful storytelling over the years. Always a bright light. Thinking of you and your family.
@RSentinel88 Giants and Redskins were good so who knows. But a healthy McMahon sure changes things, saves Ditka from himself and an epic mishandling of the qb position w Flutie that year
For anyone putting loyalty to a person above loyalty to the Constitution, Justice Gorsuch’s remarks should be required reading. His words are a reminder that our highest duty is to the rule of law and the founding principles that define America.
By analyzing $4 trillion of shipments between January 2024 and November 2025, researchers found that foreign exporters absorbed only about 4% of the burden of last year’s U.S. tariff increases by lowering their prices, while American consumers and importers absorbed 96%.
The tariffs had a significant effect on trade volumes: Facing higher U.S. tariffs, Indian exporters maintained their prices but reduced the volume of shipments to the U.S. by 18%-24% relative to the European Union, Canada and Australia, the report found.
Rather than acting as a tax on foreign producers, the tariffs functioned as a consumption tax on Americans. The $200 billion in additional U.S. tariff revenue last year “was paid almost exclusively by Americans.”

The American patriot who helped formulate the grievances against the British Crown, James Otis, called for a defense of this principle by popularizing the phrase taxation without representation is tyranny.
This principle was said by many to be the principle, the spark that sparked our revolution.
Yet today, the Senate is compelled to act because one person in our country wishes to raise taxes without the approval of the Senate, without the approval of the House, without the approval of the Constitution.

Happy Birthday, Neal Anderson!
How do you replace Walter Payton?
You don't, of course. He was arguably the greatest football player that ever lived.
But Neal did a damn fine job stepping into the shoes of Sweetness at running back for the #Bears.
Four consecutive Pro Bowl seasons from 1988-91
Anderson stands as #DaBears third all-time leading rusher and ranks second in franchise history with 71 career touchdowns.

Organizations that insist upon apologies from the Steroid Era players in return for entrance into team events should be required to issue their own apologies, for looking the other way while cashing checks. The sanctimony is ridiculous.
