I met with infamous mobster, “Sammy The Bull” Gravano, for a sitdown interview, which took place at Sammy’s house in December 2024 (Sammy Gravano was convicted for his involvement in 19 murders and other serious crimes). At that time, I invited “Sammy The Bull” to meet on my turf

It's Alec Baldwin's birthday today. Years ago, Alec sent me an unsolicited "best wishes" photo of him, but I am disappointed in Alec for his conduct going after my hero, President Trump. There is talk about a movie being made about me. One thing is for certain, I would NOT want

Do you know any politician who gave money BACK to the treasury every year for at least 24 years? That is one reason why I had a 70% approval rating among all voters in my county. It is also why I support DOGE (the Department of Government Efficiency)!🇺🇲

Yesterday, I attended and spoke at a beautiful Celebration of Life in honor of my close friend of 43 years, Joe Guido, who, with his family, owns a beautiful Italian restaurant located a block away from my own 43-year-old family travel business. “Guido’s Chicago Meat & Deli”

Congratulations to President Trump for a GREAT successful "First 100 Days" in office because of his leadership and courage. In contrast, the Obama/Biden administration targeted me in their “First 100 Days” report, which I wear as a badge of honor. 🇺🇸BIG DIFFERENCE!🇺🇸

Basketball super stars, Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley, are currently commentators on the TNT broadcast "Inside the NBA" during the NBA playoffs. In 2006, I learned that Shaq was interested in becoming a Sheriff, so I swore him in as a special deputy in my Tent City jail,

Criminals should NOT be treated better than our brave men and women fighting for our country. That's why I opened Tent City jail and for decades housed inmates cheaply while sending the message: There'll always be room in my jail, and if you don't like it there, don't do crime!

My condolences go out to Bernard B. Kerik's supporters, friends, & family. I've known Bernie for many years. He was a patriot, a tough law enforcement official, and a loyal public servant to Mayor Rudy Giuliani, President George Bush, and President Trump🇺🇸 He will be sorely missed.

The wonderful Sheriff Joe Arpaio made it out to support at the Andy Biggs rally this past week. He’s a good man and got a standing ovation from the crowd when Charlie Kirk pointed him out. Grateful to him and so many who made time to be with us at this important moment!
