@TD_ONeill@KDJmedia1 If you're directing this at me, I was commenting on the thought that Terence implies that only parents of athletes pay school taxes.
But since you asked, the league the State governs is the NYS PUBLIC High School Athletic Association. There are leagues for private schools.
.@GovPritzker, I saw your post honoring lives lost in Minnesota—standing publicly, naming Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and laying flowers in their memory.
But where was that same compassion on January 19, 2025?
That is the day my 20-year-old daughter, Katie Abraham, was killed here in Illinois. She was innocent. She did not knowingly put herself in the middle of an ongoing law enforcement situation. She was not making a dangerous choice.
She was simply living her life—and it was taken from her.
You have never said her name. You have never come to where she died. You have never acknowledged her publicly.
And beyond that—you have never even responded to me.
I sent you a simple, non-political letter. Not for attention. Not for headlines. Just a father asking for clarity, for answers, and for understanding of the state’s position.
You never replied.
And now, in the wake of another tragedy here in Chicago, your public display of compassion elsewhere—while remaining silent about victims in your own state—feels deeply disconnected from the reality families like mine are living every day.
Instead, you continue to defend sanctuary policies that create the conditions where preventable tragedies like hers can happen.
This is not about politics. It’s about leadership and accountability.
When you choose to publicly mourn some victims while remaining silent about others—especially those lost under policies you support—it sends a message.
Whether intentional or not, it tells families like mine that our loss does not matter the same way.
So I am asking you directly:
Where is your compassion for my daughter? Where is your acknowledgment of victims here in Illinois? And when will you take responsibility for the consequences of the policies you defend?
Say her name: Katie Abraham.
Stand where she died. Show the people of Illinois that every life matters.
So let me get this straight.
Iranians who lived Iran have gotten it all wrong.
Venezuelans who lived Venezuela have gotten it all wrong.
Cubans who lived Cuba have gotten it all wrong.
But you—who have never left the four corners of your own sublime comfort—are the bearers of truth?
@MattWalshBlog Until now, "ending" these wars has meant another 10-20 year war. Surgical ops that Trump is now using opens up more options. I'm not saying your criticisms are wrong but I am saying Trump changed the rules of the game.
For the very concerned media - yes, I love America and was extremely humbled when my friends, the newly minted Gold Medal winners on Team USA, invited me into the locker room to celebrate this historic moment with the boys- Greatest country on earth and greatest sport on earth. 👊🏼🏒🇺🇸
Activist: "Cattle farming is incredibly wasteful."
Farmer: "Is it? List the inputs."
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "For my farm. What goes in?"
Activist: "Feed, water, land..."
Farmer: "Rain, grass that grows for free, and land that won't grow anything else. Where's the waste?"
Activist: "But the resources..."
Farmer: "Are solar energy and rainfall. Both happen whether there's a cow here or not."
Activist: "You're oversimplifying."
Farmer: "I'm being accurate. Sunlight hits grass. Grass grows. Cow eats grass. Cow becomes beef. Which step wastes resources?"
Activist: "The land could grow crops."
Farmer: "This land? 30-degree slope, clay soil, 45 inches of rain? Show me the crop."
@NYCMayor Maduro made life in Venezuela so impossible that some Venezuelans moved to NEW YORK CITY to find a more affordable life. You should go celebrate with them.
Lord, grant Sarah’s family strength, healing and comfort.
She led a life of patriotism, service and sacrifice, and we will not rest until we bring the hand of justice to her attacker.
Her sacrifice will never be forgotten.
God bless America, and all of those patriots and heroes who defend Her.
@LennyGoodnight@karol@RIKKISCHLOTT It's not a 5% conviction rate in the last year. It's a 5% conviction rate of those booked from 10/1/25--11/15/25. 46 days. Incredibly misleading.
