been working on a side project to tear down and rebuild a 700sq/ft garage. I’m not sure there has ever been such a long streak of days with fully sunny skies as when I had to work without shade. Needless to say, the weather yesterday was very welcomed, and the roof should start going up tomorrow.
“As a leader for the (Illinois) State Rifle Association, (Former state Rep. Ed) Sullivan stressed that an assault weapons ban in Illinois would quickly lead to lawsuits by law-abiding gun owners. He also argued that police would end up arresting white FOID cardholders with AR15s and other modernized firearms. Sullivan said investments in gun violence prevention can better address the issue.”
Yes, I checked. According to the reporter this accurately represents what Mr. Sullivan said.
Between the DH news and some TV stations pulling that Beverly Miles ad, my assertion that Proft’s lies won’t work on the electorate even if they’re compelling is looking pretty good.
I checked with Sullivan. He said he was talking about how the 72 Downstate “sanctuary counties” wouldn’t be enforcing the ban, while counties that would enforce the ban would be arresting people “who don’t look like me.” So, just the opposite.
==It took 63 years but Cleveland finally got revenge for the 1959 season.==
A more recent example is 2005, where Cleveland was just 1.5 games behind the Sox on September 24 and ended up 6 games behind. To rub it in a bit, the Sox swept the last 3 games in Cleveland.
The Sox were just plain awful most of the season. No heart and soul.

Hellhole, Illinois is so horrible that someone just spent 20 million on a 5 bedroom unit in Wanda Vista/St. Regis tower.
It’s being reported as one of the highest prices ever- possibly the second highest.

Hooray for the Illini on the win last night. Just hope that collapse against Indiana doesn’t make the difference between a bowl game or not.
