I saw the Man(Colin Hay) @Work with a band from Peru and Cuba last summer. They were the treat of an evening of flashbacks: Christopher Cross and Toto.

fortunately the first round of this was a huge fail. Not even a single grand juror voted to indict. It shows how incompetent the DOJ has become.

When they divorced, John cut their bed in half with a chainsaw. So there is that too.

My family arrived in Chicagoland in 1975, a few years after the birth of this mag. It's where teens and young adults learned who was playing where, saw personal ads, and learned what really happened in the stories that got no love from the Tribune or Daily News.

This was a very important vote tonight. Here's why.

For the past year Trump’s illegal tariffs have crushed our economic growth, hit American families with higher costs, killed the very manufacturing jobs we were told they would multiply, and alienated our closest allies. 1/

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

As far as I am concerned, the ID. 4 is a fine EV and a better car than the Model 3 Tesla I upgraded from. The issue is the software sucks balls.

Don't get me wrong my mother's mother was Jewish and someday one will be president but if this country can't handle two quality women, they are not ready for a Jew.

We had a scare heron by our koi pond and it generally worked until one day we found a mid sized koi in the driveway. It had been carried away and dropped by another heron.
