Da Coach is gone. The Ditka family announced his passing this morning, shared by Jarrett Payton. He was 86.
MIKE DITKA. 1939–2026. RIP.
They called him Iron Mike. Chicago called him Da Coach. Football called him the man who turned the tight end from a blocker into a weapon.
Aliquippa kid. Pitt. Fifth overall in 1961. First tight end in the Hall of Fame. Caught everything they threw at him, then coached like the game still owed him something.
Player on the 1963 Bears championship. Player on the Cowboys’ Super Bowl VI team. Assistant on Super Bowl XII. Head coach of the 1985 Bears who ran the table and buried New England 46–10 in Super Bowl XX.
The only man who stood in both of Chicago’s last two titles, once in the huddle, once on the sideline with a cigar and no overcoat in a wind chill that would have sent anyone else inside.
Mustache. Sunglasses. Sweater. The stare. The Shuffle. Grabowski. He punched a locker, came back from a heart attack in 11 days, and never apologized for being exactly who he was.
The ’85 Bears were loud. Ditka was the reason they believed they were supposed to be.
Rest easy, Coach. Chicago won’t be the same. 🐻⬇️
Prayers for Diana and the family.
🔥 TRUMP JUST REPOSTED JFK’S MOST TERRIFYING SPEECH — AND THE DEEP STATE IS PANICKING
JFK saw it coming. In 1961. And now, Trump has just made sure 300 million Americans see it, too.
The speech everyone’s talking about: Kennedy’s address to the American Newspaper Publishers Association, April 27, 1961. The CIA had just botched the Bay of Pigs. Kennedy was livid. He’d been lied to by his own intelligence apparatus. And he walked onto that stage and said something no president has dared say since.
“We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence — on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice.”
Read that again. Monolithic. Ruthless. Conspiracy.
This wasn’t some fringe radio host. This was the sitting President of the United States, on live television, telling the American people that a shadow network of power — operating through intelligence agencies, media complicity, and institutional capture — was working against the republic itself.
And then he said the quiet part out loud:
“Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.”
Sound familiar?
Sixty-five years later, Trump drops this video on Truth Social. No commentary needed. The speech does all the work. And within hours, the same media outlets that spent four years calling Trump a conspiracy theorist are suddenly very quiet.
Here’s what they don’t want you to connect:
- Kennedy was assassinated 2.5 years after this speech
- The Warren Commission was a joke — even the House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1979 concluded Kennedy was “probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy”
- The files are STILL classified
- Trump has been pushing to release them, but the permanent national security state refuses, instead slow-walking the order
The timing isn’t random. This isn’t just history. JFK described a permanent national security state that has only grown more entrenched — one that operates beyond elections, beyond accountability, beyond the reach of voters.
Kennedy called it “a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations.”
That machine didn’t disappear when he died. It got even stronger.
Trump reposting this isn’t nostalgia. It’s a signal. The same forces JFK warned about are the same forces that tried to destroy Trump — Russiagate, two impeachments, lawfare, media blackout, assassination attempts. The playbook hasn’t changed. Only the names.
And now the sitting president just reminded the country who the real enemy has always been.
The speech that scared them then is the speech they’re terrified you’ll watch now.
Sharing this because they’re counting on you not to watch it. Don’t let them win. 🎯
We screamed at the top of our lungs warning everyone about COVID and the shot but people didn't listen
Now we're doing the same thing with Radical Islam
Y'all may wanna listen this time!!
All those years ago, JFK knew. And he said it out loud. No wonder he was assassinated. Listen to this speech. He lays it out precisely & it is exactly what we are still facing today.
“We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence — on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice.”
Read that again. Monolithic. Ruthless. Conspiracy.

JD VANCE JUST CALLED OUT MICROSOFT FOR LAYING OFF AMERICANS WHILE BRINGING IN FOREIGN WORKERS TO REPLACE THEM.
Vance says Microsoft cut about 6,000 jobs while picking up around 6,300 H-1B visas and nearly 3,000 green cards.
He says no company in America has abused the system more than Microsoft has.
Imagine training your own replacement and then watching your company brag about record profits.
The H-1B program was never supposed to be a way for billion dollar corporations to dump American workers for cheaper labor.
Finally, we have a Vice President who puts the American worker ahead of Big Tech's bottom line.
Biden pardoned his own family on the way out the door.
Now Schumer and Senate Democrats suddenly want to rein in presidential pardons. Slotkin wants them banned outright.
Funny how the pardon power only became a crisis after their guy got done using it.
The rules always change when it's our turn.
Liberals worry about one person in a lab getting sick halfway across the globe, more than the Democrat party letting 20 million illegals march across our border, carrying who knows what kind of diseases.
