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.

Tulsi, confess, I did not follow your personal life. Only your amazing contribution to the country from a position of integrity.

Now this- I wish you and Abraham strength (and rest!) as you patiently follow recovery.

Resection seems the best cure and that is traumatizing to recover from on the upper neck.

God wills us to proceed- and the antidote follows.

The state of mind for heal is always positive, seeing thru it, but 100% present and patient in the current moment of recovery, no rush. Yet once reasonably, safely, physically able ... business as usual is an amazing medicine. Not about me, but a survivor, who shot cancer drugs at work .. in reflection, I think it really helped!

You both will get thru this and have your lives together.

@LeslieMarshall @TulsiGabbard That was a sincere message from you, Leslie.

And is it still the case under X that if a post does not put a dot "." in front of an X handle, it is intended as a direct recipient post and not public?

This is all you need to know about the sorry case of Joseph Biden. Look it up. Once it was determined in the hospital that Hunter would survive the car accident, Joe basically took off to DC.

Seriously: Name 1 accomplishment in his career adding to long-term public health or a measurable, directly traceable standard of living increase, for ANY US population. This guy was a total waste as a representative of government. He suffered a major trauma any of us would have crippled under, half his family was killed and he should have just exited at that time and addressed his grief but instead he decided to be a hollow soul and seek some sort of reparation from the world by dropping all his ethics for gain. The deep state quickly saw that and executed blackmail on him to own him forever.

How are Democrats cheating in L.A.?

Let me show you…

There are 26 registered voters at this toilet in Los Angeles.

I’m not kidding. I have the voter records. See for yourself. The only thing here is a stinky port-a john inside an empty parking lot.

No homes. No mailboxes. No businesses. Yet TWENTY SIX ‘people’ are casting ballots here.

Straight-up voter fraud out in the open. This just a glimpse of what’s happening under Gavin Newsom.

This is why California desperately needs Voter ID — and we must pass the Save Act NOW.

So he pled guilty in a Democrat circuit that will let him go. Can we get some receipts, please?

So many convictions, so many confessions, so many inadvertent confessions, and absolutely zero convictions or sentencing.

Hope you got some up clicks because John Bolton will walk free very likely.

Draw line (ie a trend). This is the case in every single fucking case. How many times has the Republican surged ahead in mail-in voting? Pick any close state election. The problem is about 45% of the voters in these fucktard states want the Democrats to win so they will never raise a case and the losing party is basically judicially blocked and never wins a judgment. Honestly if the Democrat winners keep the coastlines burning that might actually change the balance.
