Conflicting accounts blah, blah, blah…The dude stabbed someone at a track meet. That is murder unless his life was in imminent danger (which it most certainly wasn’t).

🚨Conflicting Accounts of Hunter Metcalf's Involvement

Hunter Metcalf gave two TV interviews in the 24 hours after his brother Austin Metcalf was killed. What he said in those interviews doesn’t match what this jury has been hearing all week.

On April 2, Hunter said “WE asked him to move.” Not Austin.

On April 3, Hunter said he was the first to approach Karmelo, not Austin. Austin then “stepped up” and “tried to handle
the problem.” Hunter also said “he grabbed the bag.” It’s unclear who “he” refers to.

At trial, multiple witnesses testified Hunter was not involved. One witness was asked directly and the answer was “No.”

A defense witness from Metcalf’s own school (who didn’t want to be there) confirmed Hunter spoke first, both brothers stood up while Karmelo remained seated, Austin threatened to “beat his a–,” climbed 5 rows, tapped Karmelo on the shoulder, then grabbed him with both hands. That’s when Karmelo’s hand came out the bag.

The state never called Hunter Metcalf to the stand.

Isn't that a question worth asking?

@RGIII Hi RG3,

In order to fix this problem we need to know the reason.

And the reason is corrupt, retarded liberal politicians.

Think about this when you vote next time because you could be part of the solution.

Seth Rogen reveals he has smoked weed all day every day since he was 20

“I smoke weed all day every single day since I was 20 years old”

“I equate it to shoes or glasses are shoes a crutch we use or are they a thing that we have culturally decided to make our lives easier and better that is exactly how weed is to me”

“Could I not wear shoes probably could I not smoke weed probably would I just much rather smoke weed all day yes”

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.

The ethnicity most likely to be on welfare in each country.

USA: Somalia #1
Denmark: Somalia #1
Netherlands: Somalia #1
Norway: Somalia #1
Finland: Somalia #1
Sweden: Somalia #1

Somalis are most likely to be on welfare and are responsible for the highest crime rates per captia.

Things most Americans agree on:

Groceries cost too much.

Tariffs suck and make no sense.

Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.

The debt is a mess.

The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.

Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.

Americans are exhausted.

AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.

Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.

Canadians are super fucking cool.

Mexicans are chill.

Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.

Good neighbors are a blessing.

Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.

We all question, are we alone in the universe?

We all fuck up along the way.

Epstein didn’t hang himself.

The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.

The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!

Things we’re told to fight about:

Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.

That’s the joke.
