Nine years in a row, Chicago’s been named the best city to visit — apparently tourists just love dodging bullets between deep-dish pizza stops.

I heard an audio clip of someone on the NPP committee saying (not a direct quote) - You don't hear LeBron James touting his skills to receive the MVP award. His accomplishments speak for themselves.

Sums it up.

Reporter should reply: Those plywood doors aren't easy to open. I mean, people are getting splinters, and you can't see what is in the shop. What kind of store is open that has plywood covering their windows? Portland is rough.

Good morning welcome to Tippetty tap tap Thursday

Kindness and politeness aren’t overrated, they’re simply not used enough.

A little kindness each day can create a ripple effect, brightening lives in ways we may never fully see.

People who live in IL (especially Chicagoians) are a different breed of bold and strong. If you've made it through even 1 winter there, you get me. Don't mess with Gov. Pritzker.

Bondi had bathed in the kool-aid and drinks it daily. No one who believes they are doing well starts off and continues to be this defensive. She is a FOTUS puppet.

Such a livable, beautiful city. I spent 5 lovely years living there and I would argue that the architectural beauty surpasses NYC. It is clean and safe - no trash on the streets.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Maxwell is an absolute monster. She was convicted and should serve her sentence. The victims of these unspeakable crimes deserve peace knowing she is where she belongs - in prison away from children.

Lesson here for FOTUS - Don't mess with a born and bred priest from Chicago. They are a tough bunch, and they have actually read the Bible. Feed the hungry and heal the sick.

I couldn't have imagined say this, but I encourage people not to travel to the US. Our country is damaged, and our dictators are not treating people with any amount of kindness. Who would want to visit this s*!t show?
