I stand with the Chicago Sun-Times! ICE doctoring photos by the fearless Ashlee Rezin, making cowards look tough, marching through fake smoke, is beyond shameless. I never dreamed so many Americans would want to play Gestapo. 😪

The #Bears rank 6th in the NFL in points. Last, they were 28th. Since Mike Ditka was fired after the 1992 season, the Bears have finished in the top half of the league in scoring just seven (!) times. On coach Ben Johnson achieving proof-of-concept: chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2025/11/…

Solved it!! The Rolling Stones started the six-seven” nonsense in 1972 with “Tumbling Dice.” “Honey, got no money— I’m all sixes and sevens, (And nines)”🎵 Blame Mick.

Three NFL starting QBs in concussion protocol—Jaxson Dart, Dillon Gabriel, C.J. Stroud. And that’s now. More to come. Future brain issues?

Sadly, outdoors writer Dale Bowman has retired at the Sun-Times, but my other pal, Peg Macnamara, is still painting beauties at the Field Museum, where she is the amazing artist-in residence. ❤️🤗 instagram.com/reel/DRKQRAJDs…

My mom would have turned 100 yesterday, Pearl Harbor Day. My sisters and I remember so well her describing the shock and sadness of WWII starting on her 16th birthday, how it changed her life. I have many thoughts now. ❤️🇺🇸❤️
