I don’t get the pleasure of flying into ORD very often, so is a 30-45 minute taxi to the gate pretty standard? I feel like I am on a sightseeing tour of the entire airport.

This guy — the guy on the right, not the firefighter — had EIGHT outstanding arrest warrants,
EIGHT WARRANTS.
Now he’s facing more charges for attacking the CFD member.

Bone-chilling reporting from @TheAtlantic about Adam Hamawy, the Democrat likely headed to Congress from New Jersey who volunteered for an Al-Qaeda front, testified for the defense at the Blind Sheikh’s terrorism trial, and still refuses to answer questions about his long history working with Islamist extremists.

A one-time acolyte to the Sheikh Abdul-Rahman, a traveler among jihadis, Democrat Adam Hamawy is about to get elected to Congress. Was he merely curious and hapless? Did he harbor jihadi beliefs now renounced? He provides little to no real explanation: theatlantic.com/politics/202…

NEW: Multiple federal law enforcement sources tell @FoxNews that the man who was shot and killed by an off-duty FBI agent in Chicago last night was a Venezuelan illegal alien who was seen shooting into a homeless encampment. Per sources, the FBI agent was driving alone when he saw 27-year-old OSCAR D. CORRALES shooting at people in the encampment, and the agent stopped and shot CORRALES, killing him.
Fox is told CORRALES was previously caught and released at the southern border by the Biden administration in October 2023, and he has a previous arrest in California in which he was released from custody with an ICE detainer ignored.

“If you want to see where socialism leads you, look at France this last weekend. It’s a socialist’s dream.” Ken Griffin
Ken Griffin on the rise of DSA, Paris riots and looting in Chicago
I'm not so worried about it. It's a New York, Illinois, Michigan, California bit of a bubble.
If you want to see where socialism leads to, look at France last weekend.
It's the socialist dream. The country spends 60% of GDP at the government level.
BTW Paris looked pretty damn similar to Chicago in 2021-22.
It’s a people… (that) are very willing to riot and protest anything. Is that really the future that the US might be looking at?
It’s the future. I lived in Chicago.
I could look out my window at the Dior store. They were very efficient.
We may be more efficient than the French, even at looting.

NEW: Multiple federal sources confirm to @FoxNews that the suspect arrested for using a sledgehammer to behead a WW2 Iwo Jima monument in Quantico, VA on Tuesday is a Mexican illegal alien & former DACA recipient whose legal status expired this year.
Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano has now been charged with felony destruction of property and trespass with intent to damage property.
Per federal sources, Soriano illegally crossed into the U.S. in December 1999. He was granted DACA by the Obama administration in 2014 and had it extended for years, most recently by the Biden admin in 2024, but he lost his DACA status in August of this year when it wasn’t renewed by the Trump administration.

Every single school recognized in the City of Chicago is a Catholic school. Yet @GovPritzker ended the child tax credit that allowed poor families to choose these excellent schools for their children.
Congratulations to all 24 schools across Illinois on your official recognition as a Governor’s Blue Ribbon School.
You’ve all gone above and beyond in the past school year and set the standard for excellence in education.

I have found the images of the rioting in Paris and other French cities heartbreaking. I spent three wonderful years as a doctoral student in Paris, and I easily recognize many of the neighborhoods and streets that are now in flames.
Though its roots go back to ancient Rome, Paris became a truly great city because of the University of Paris, which grew from the Cathedral school of Notre Dame. For centuries, scholars came from all over Europe to this center of learning where the Western intellectual tradition—born of the confluence of Jerusalem, Athens, and Rome—was defended and developed.
What seems clear is that the arsonists and rioters of the present day represent a farrago of forces inimical to the intellectual and moral values of the West.
I had taken such encouragement from the demonstration of pride in Catholicism and Catholic history that was on display when Pope Leo visited France just a few weeks ago.
May the French people rouse themselves to realize that they stand against a determined enemy and that they have the intellectual and spiritual resources to oppose that foe.

Appease Islamists and communists, and you embolden those willing to burn your cities.
A stark warning to those embracing the DSA, the Muslim Brotherhood, and their ideological allies across America (hello New York and Michigan!) and in Canada, the UK, Europe, and Australia.

Praying for Pope Leo XIV following the news of his lung cancer diagnosis. Grateful that his surgery was successful, and praying for his continued strength, healing, and full recovery. May God bless and watch over the Holy Father.
Pope Leo XIV's surgery confirmed that he has lung cancer and he had the lower lobe of his right lung removed, the Vatican said Tuesday.
The tests confirmed a diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma, the Vatican said in a medical bulletin after the surgery. It said the diagnosis had been suspected by preoperative tests and was confirmed during surgery.

After the Bears fired him in 1993, Ditka made a cameo appearance on the SNL cold open with the Superfans. What a loss.

Mother—
A giant of the North hath fallen.
Gen. Michael Ditka, conqueror of ‘85, led Chicago’s mighty regiment to glory & bestowed upon our city a championship immortal.
His name is etched in the annals of war. His banner shall never fall.
Rest, General. Chicago remembers.

It’s with a heavy heart that I’m sharing the Ditka family has announced the passing of Mike Ditka this morning.
Da Coach. Hall of Famer. The heartbeat of the ’85 Bears and a Super Bowl champion. Chicago won’t be the same.
Prayers to Diana and the family.
RIP, Coach. 🐻⬇️
Here’s a statement from the family:
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Mike Ditka. While the world knew Mike as a Hall of Fame football player, legendary coach, and leader of the Chicago Bears’ Super Bowl XX championship team, we knew him as the heart of our family. Mike will be missed beyond measure and remembered forever.
With love and gratitude, The Ditka Family

.@SecRubio: "Too often, these days, we build downwards. We design our standards to ensure that no one will lose. We preoccupy ourselves more with the comfort of the worst than the potential of the best. We hold the most exceptional things among us hostage to the average."
.@SecRubio: "The things we owe to this place as Americans — and as Westerners — are actually far, far deeper... What blossomed here in this place was the Western desire to uncover all that ignorance, darkness, and distance had kept hidden from the mind of man."
