Cairo’s redemption: Santos doinked a 53-yard field goal minutes before. And he needed to convince Ben Johnson to give him the chance to lock up the game with a 58-yard career-long field goal. Johnson knew Santos wanted to redeem himself. Confidence #Bears

#BREAKING: Charles Blow: No one in all of media is dealing with this in the proper way. The Muslim Brotherhood is almost 100 years old. Do you know when the United States classified them as a terrorist group? Earlier this year. Donald Trump did it. There have been 10 presidents between when she [El-Sayed’s mom] supported them and now. Not a single one of them, Democrat or Republican, decided to deem the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group. Do you know how many terrorist attacks on American soil the Muslim Brotherhood is responsible for? Zero. But if we’re gonna say that children are responsible for their parents, Donald Trump’s dad was was arrested at a Klan rally in Queens in 1927. Are we saying that Donald Trump is responsible for his dad’s actions? 😳

YIKES 😳 Trump snaps at a reporter asking him about why he's dismissing sexual abuse allegations 👇

WOMAN REPORTER: Do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?

TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with?

REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sexual abuse allegations

TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

The Sporting News is showing the White Sox some serious love: Will Venable was named Manager of the Year, and Chase Meidroth was named the AL’s best second baseman. Very cool.

Bad men gain power when we don't fight back.

Vivek Ramaswamy is everything wrong with politics: arrogance, cruelty, dishonesty, and a willingness to do ANYTHING for power.

Ohio deserves better.

NEW: Ken Griffin on Paris riots, Chicago and JB Pritzker

I think Paris should be a real wake up call to every single young American. France is the dream the left talks about. That dream is the nightmare I left from Chicago. That dream doesn’t belong in our country. A society that comes down to how much you can take from others.

Do you see candidates that you’re actually fearful that’s the path they’re going down:

J.B. Pritzker, Governor of Illinois. Yes, 100%. 100%

[Chicago Sun-Times @Suntimes]

Gov. JB Pritzker is taking out $40 million from his vast personal wealth to boost candidates in contentious races, and building coalitions with Democrats across the country, including in 2028 early primary states. https://t.co/rkPaR8RWPD

[Chicago Sun-Times @Suntimes]

A Sun-Times/WBEZ investigation confirms one driver's lament that it was "the worst traffic I've ever had to deal with." Worse yet, epic delays persist — a year after a three-year construction project ended and Gov. JB Pritzker promised “faster commutes.” https://t.co/nYyv5jNojd
