One key difference between the Trump and Biden administrations is that the former advisors had the good sense to keep a senile a debilitated President off camera.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

No one knows what will happen from here, and we hope for the best, but it’s shocking to have violently overthrown a government and invaded a country explicitly vowing to not only take no displaced persons or refugees but send those already here back no matter how bad it gets.

All corporate CEOs should understand: If you agree to attend an event at the White House, you are very likely to be filmed nodding appreciatively at a delusional racist rant. If you're ok with that, go. If not, you probably should stay away.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

All the cowardly media outlets had to do was stand together, refuse to cover the admin PR stunts until the AP was back. Of course they didn’t because they are cowards. And now they will be picked off one by one. Courage has a shelf life. Use it. Or go away.

Review: Tributosaurus, one of Chicago’s best-kept secrets, never especially cool, not exactly challenging, pushing nearly 25 years as a mainstay of local bars and theaters, without an original song to their name, are my favorite Chicago band.

Review: Tributosaurus plays hit songs from the ’70s and it’s a glorious shag-carpet ride
As the guitarist said at Theater on the Lake, the only thing the band has in common with the one-hit wonders they were playing is that all of them “have one more hit than we do.”

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people. Identify those people and block and shun them.

My response - “Hi Jill, thanks for reaching out, unfortunately I have a strict policy of not working with people who back autocrats and dictators, let alone those are at this very moment in the process of destroying the constitutional separation of power that makes companies like you own able to function independently, as opposed to be government propaganda, so I’m going to have to regretfully decline.”

A word of caution for the months and years to come: Outrage is anger which arises from fear which is a deep-seated human response, and farming outrage for attention is not a partisan phenomenon. Before you spread it, double check your sources.
