This is your reminder that the last two highlights happened back to back. Everyone was losing their minds at the behind the back pass when he stole it again.

The Cubs are back in Clev this weekend, 10 yrs after winning a World Series there. I found a fun twist in Game 7. Chi had THREE catchers play in that game. All got hits. All drove in runs. All caught. That's never happened in WS history. Their story: https://t.co/LoD6unqJAt

.@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 when Izzo wins he credits the other team and says they play great. When they lose he gives them no credit. Fears tries to kill a guy and he says he’s proud he started him. Have we left earth?

33 years ago tonight (February 4, 1993)...one of the most amazing basketball endings I've ever seen in person. Came just a few years after the whole Illinois/Iowa (@deonthomas25 / Bruce Pearl) incident. Somewhere among the craziness, I'm in there. #Illini

Ilhan Omar’s net worth increased by 3,500% since 2023 on a $174k salary.

From basically nothing to $30 million in one year.

How??

@Brady_Quinn @sagesteele @espn lol ND didn’t get what they wanted so they are taking their ball and going home. I would class it more as whiney and entitled.

Most Americans were unfamiliar with Charlie Kirk and his work, but very familiar with what he represented -- the American Dream. Young, beautiful wife, kids, righteous male authority, faith, optimism. He was real life Ward Cleaver, Jim Anderson, Mike Brady, Cliff Huxtable. Charlie was the antithesis of the antihero father of the last 40 years. America yearns for what Charlie had. That's why his death has triggered so much emotion. Charlie was Making America Feel Fathers Again, feel morality again, feel sacrifice again. We probably haven't felt that way since the 1960s, when JFK, MLK, and RFK (perhaps fraudulently) made us believe men of high character were working on America's problems. Charlie was not a grifter or an opportunist. In the era of influencers and ego, Charlie humbly worked to remove the scales from our eyes on very difficult issues. There are terrible consequences for sacrificing merit in the name of DEI. You can't fix racial discrimination with racial discrimination. You can't replace families with EBT cards and Section 8 housing. Shared values are more important than shared skin color. Charlie organized, hosted, and participated in the uncomfortable conversations most people avoid and/or shut down with name-calling and gatekeeping. Charlie was supposed to be the fruit derived from the necessary chaos of MAGA. And maybe he will be just that if we learn the right lessons from this tragedy. Erika Kirk represents the power of women in the right role. No way Charlie is as courageous and effective without that kind of Holy Spirit-filled woman having his back. I can't quit thinking about Charlie Kirk. What a legacy...

We knew a boy named Charlie, as tall as a tree. A boy Rush Limbaugh inspired to love liberty. There was something different about Charlie, smart as a whip. When his friends went to college, Charlie skipped. Couldn't see it then, but God had a plan. He raised a disciple to travel the fallen land. I'm sorry, sweet Charlie, this world is so sick. You offered your enemies Christ's carrot, they swung sticks. When they couldn't defeat you, they retaliated with a bullet, Satan's last trick. I'm sorry, Charlie, my tears are not true. I weep for the courage to live and die like you.

Great post

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

LOL

A new audit shows Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker FAILED to meet the DEI requirements of a state law that he himself signed into law

Illinois officials are fuming.

There was about $30 million set aside to hire from "marginalized communities". It was said to have 785 positions, but 50% of those jobs sat vacant for YEARS

Where did that money go, @GovPritzker?
