BREAKING 🚨 President Trump stuns America by calling for Kamala Harris to be prosecuted 🔥

Kamala Harris is NOT above the Law

Chicago Democrats Just FUMBLED an Entire NFL Team to Indiana.

100 Years of History Gone. Running a City This Badly Isn’t an Accident.

Indiana is getting a brand new Bears stadium.

And Chicago gets to keep its crime, its taxes, and its $400M taxpayer funded Obama DEI trash can nobody asked for.

This is what decades of Democrat mismanagement does.

Businesses leave.
Teams leave.
People leave.

They'll blame everyone but themselves.

Indiana wins. Chicago loses. Again.

When a friend went to fill her tank in Illinois on 5/31/26 gas was MORE than $ 5.00 per gallon in fact it was $ 5.799 per gallon

And when she finished filling up in Valparaiso, Indiana with the same grade of gas on the same day the price was $ 3.899 per gallon

Trump is the President of the United States and as far as I knew that also includes Indiana

It’s amazing how his policies only negatively affect Illinois but not Indiana

So by the reasonable use of logic it becomes obvious that the high gas prices in Illinois are not because of Trump, they’re because of YOU and your posse of Democrats in Springfield

Don’t you ever get tired of blaming Trump for the problems that YOU not him have caused?

Pritzker you are literally an IDIOT

California Sheriff says their elections are being RIGGED!

Your vote in California is being STOLEN by illegals, and they're not even hiding it anymore.

Sheriff's investigators uncovered that people from PAKISTAN were voting in California elections. Multiple people living OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY were registered and casting ballots.

California's online voter registration system operates on an "honor system" where literally anyone in the world can register to vote by simply clicking a box saying they're not lying. No verification, no citizenship checks. Just click and you're registered.

Once you're in the system, you automatically get mailed a ballot for EVERY election!

Spencer Pratt got 0 out of 24,000 votes in a late night LA ballot drop.

0/24,000

A guy getting around 30% support got 0 out of 24,000.

Astronomically small probability of happening.

Impossible.

California no longer even hides it.

Doors need to be kicked in.

Chicago lost the Bears this week. A team that's been in the city since 1921.

They didn't lose them to a bigger market or a better deal. The Bears decided they'd rather be a tenant in Indiana than deal with Illinois for one more year.

Think about how badly you have to run a place for that to be the smart move.

They lost them for two reasons.

The people running Illinois would rather villainize a builder than keep one. And they're bad at their jobs.

In 2021 the Bears spent $197M on the old Arlington Park racetrack.

Before they could break ground, Cook County valued the empty lot at $192M (Bears said $60M). They were salivating at the chance to extort a building that didn't even exist yet.

That fight dragged on for years.

The Bears were ready to put $2B into the stadium. All they wanted was a promise the county wouldn't reassess them into oblivion, plus $855M for infrastructure everyone uses. Roads, transit, utilities. A $3B project, two thirds of it private money pouring into Illinois.

Springfield had since 2021 to get this done. They dragged it to the final night of session, passed it through the Senate at 3:39AM, and the House went home without voting.

So now it's all gone.

The funniest part? This started because Cook County tried to grab the tax early. They knew a built stadium would pay $53M a year. Now they get under $4M on a vacant lot. No jobs, no buildout, no new anything.

Congrats on fighting for scraps and losing the whole prize.

Pritzker: they're "an $8.5B valued business" that doesn't need propping up.

But be smart for a second. Almost every NFL city throws in public money for a stadium. Not charity. The return is real. Tourism, hotels, restaurants, jobs, game days, property tax on a huge development. The math works.

Indiana did the math. While Illinois sat on it for years, Indiana passed a bill in months, put up $1B, and took the team.

And the Bears took a worse deal to get there. In Illinois they were going to own their stadium. In Indiana they rent it from the state. A team that wanted to build its own home gave up ownership just to escape Chicago.

Nobody won but Indiana. The Bears lost their stadium. Illinois lost the team, the $2B, and $53M a year in taxes.

Pritzker after they left: "I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team."

There it is. "Billionaire-owned."

That's how Democrats talk about any business right before they run it out of town. Call them a billionaire, act like you're saving working families, take a victory lap while the tax base drives across the state line.

Meanwhile they're running the whole state into the ground. And you already know how this ends. You're living in it.

Pensions are $143B in the hole, worst in the country and not close. You pay $6,285 a year in property taxes, double the $2,969 national average, for a city that's $1.15B in the red. The mayor called its finances "the point of no return."

When you run things this badly, you sell what's left.

They leased the parking meters for 75 years to Morgan Stanley and a sovereign wealth fund in Abu Dhabi. Took $1.15B and burned through it in two years. The investors already made it all back, with 58 years left to collect.

Sold the Skyway. Sold the downtown garages. Every asset that made money, gone for one check.

But a fixed property tax rate for a team that's been here 106 years? That's "propping up billionaires."

Companies are leaving. Boeing for Virginia. Caterpillar for Texas. Citadel for Miami. In 2023 alone Illinois lost 56,000 people and $6B in income to other states. The ones who left earned a third more than the ones who moved in.

Indiana didn't outbid anyone. AAA credit, 16 years straight. A $676M surplus. Fourth-lowest debt per person in the country. They just weren't a disaster.

Illinois could have collected $53M a year. It chose zero. Ignore all the bad management but make sure to stick it to those evil, pesky billionaires.

🚨 JUST IN: The Chicago Bears just APPROVED a massive plan to flee the blue city of Chicago, and Mayor Brandon Johnson is furious and STUNNED

The Bears are headed to RED INDIANA 👏🏻

FAFO 🔥

This is blue policies coming back to severely bite them.

Indiana’s GOP Governor is predictably ecstatic!

Exactly what happens when you destroy your city from within.

After an accomplishment filled week by President Trump, I have the pleasure of reading a piece of Friday fiction, courtesy of the Daily Mail.

To be crystal clear, I am not going anywhere. I am honored and proud to serve President Trump, proud of our team and remain fully committed to advancing his agenda on behalf of the American people.

Some in the media have spent a decade trying to manufacture drama around President Trump and people who work for him. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now.

See you Monday.
