This Chicago Bears Situation

 The Bears said 'enough'....giving notice, and will move across the state line (roughly a 40-minute drive)  to another state.  Four observations:

1.  I don't think the mayor or Governor ever thought this day would come.  They acted 'shocked'....but I would suggest half the population knew it was coming.

2. If you were a fan....you'd probably park your car in the Chicago stadium/parking  lot, and take a party-bus over to Indiana.   So Chicago will still make 'some' money.

3.  Fans flying in?  There's likely to be five or six hotels built around the new park, but how will they make money in the non-NFL season?  This part of the talk...makes no sense.

4.  I  could see five or six other NFL teams doing the same thing....particularly around Seattle, SF, and central  Cal.

Four Observations

1.  I watched a 30-second clip of Governor Newsom explaining something....with at least 12 hand-signals given (like a 3rd base coach).  To be honest....I watch the hand-signals more than paying attention to the words.

2.  Odd page three story I noted this week.....there was this car that rammed into LADWP power substation in Nevada, prompting investigation of a ‘terrorism-related event.’

Rental car....inside....two shotguns, an assault rifle-style pistol, and flamethrowers.  Driver?  Wearing “soft-body armor.” Guy dead from self-inflicted gunshot wound.

I'll guarantee....unresolved and closed case within a week.

3.  Kamala Harris comment this week: "We have so many stars in our party. There are so many stars. And let's not be afraid of them. You talk about Mamdani… Crockett… I mean we have so many stars."

I just can't put either Crockett or Mamdani in a 3-star or 4-star status.

4.  This week, I noted the numbers.....3,920,028 illegals were given Social Security and Medicaid over 4 years.  The chief issue?   If you think about the formula....the low-paying jobs these people will have because of zero professional skills.....most all of them will never get more than $500 a month upon retirement.  The Biden crew created a special category of people....the ultra-poverty status.
