Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich called out current Governor JB Pritzker over the possibility that the Chicago Bears are trying to leave Chicago and relocate to the State of Indiana.

An Indiana House Panel this past Thursday passed legislation to help finance a possible new stadium for the NFL franchise. The stadium would be built near Wolf Lake in Hammond, Indiana, which closely borders Illinois.

Former Governor Blagojevich weighed in on what the Indiana legislature did and blamed Governor Pritzker for the team’s consideration of a move.

Fox News Reported:

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich argued Gov. JB Pritzker got “outplayed and outflanked” as the Chicago Bears look to leave the state for Indiana.

On Thursday, an Indiana House panel approved legislation to help finance a potential new NFL stadium for the team. The facility could be constructed near Wolf Lake in Hammond, Indiana, just across the state border.

“The Indiana legislature did what it did, and it caught our governor asleep,” Blagojevich said Saturday on “Fox & Friends Weekend.”

“Governor Pritzker really is guilty of gubernatorial malpractice, and this isn’t the first time a major business is about to leave Illinois,” he added. Fox News Reported.

The former Governor blamed Illinois’ high taxes as a possible reason that the Bears are considering a move. He also mentioned that other large companies have left the State, including Tyson Foods and Boeing.

Blagojevich called out Pritzker for the billions of dollars spent on illegal aliens and did not prioritize keeping the Bears in Chicago.

Mayor Brandon Johnson complained about the team’s desire to move to Indiana. He said, “the Bears belong in the city of Chicago.”

Illinois leaders, including the Mayor and Governor, appeared stunned by the news. Mike Braun, Indiana’s Governor, said the Bears reached out to the State of Indiana five months ago after being “rebuffed” by the State of Illinois.

Governor Braun said he has no plans to change the team’s title. He believes the team will benefit economically from the move.

A young boy who allegedly murdered his adoptive father in January over a Nintendo Switch was in court on Thursday in handcuffs.

Clayton Dietz, 11 years old, is facing charges as an adult for criminal homicide. He allegedly shot his father while he was asleep on January 13th, which was the child’s birthday.

The family lived in Duncannon, Pennsylvania, which is north of Harrisburg.

Dietz was in the custody of probation officers as he was heading to the Perry County courthouse for his hearing on Thursday.

New York Post Reported:

A baby-faced 11-year-old accused of executing his adoptive father after he took away his Nintendo Switch was hauled into court in handcuffs on Thursday.

Clayton Dietz is being charged as an adult with criminal homicide after he shot his father dead in his bed on Jan. 13 — the child’s birthday — in Duncannon, Pa., north of Harrisburg.

The bespectacled boy, surrounded by probation officers, appeared to be tripping over himself as he walked into the Perry County Courthouse for a hearing Thursday afternoon, shocking video from WHP shows.

“Clayton, who was adopted in 2018, shot 42-year-old Douglas Dietz with a revolver he found in the dad’s safe, according to prosecutors.” New York Post Reported.

Clayton told authorities that he found the keys to the firearm safe while he was looking for his Nintendo Switch, which was confiscated and was in the safe with the gun.

The police responded at approximately 3:20 am on January 13th and found Douglas Dietz in bed with a gunshot wound to his head. Court documents revealed that Clayton was screaming after he shot his father.

Court documents also showed that Clayton had said to his mom, “Daddy’s dead,” and “I killed daddy.”

The affidavit said that he allegedly confessed to getting the gun, loading it, and going up to his father while he was sleeping and firing the gun at his father.

Douglas’ wife told the authorities she woke up to a loud noise. She nudged her husband, who did not respond. She realized blood was filling the sheets.

According to reports, Clayton is being tried as an adult.

Mayor of New York City Zohran Mamdani during a press conference on Saturday.

New York City officials are looking to hire 1,000 emergency snow shovelers as a major winter storm moves toward the region.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said during a press conference on Saturday that the city is preparing for what could be its most significant snowfall in nearly a decade.

“For those who want to do more to help their neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an emergency snow shoveler,” Mamdani said.

”Just show up at your local sanitation garage between 8 am and 1 pm tomorrow with your paperwork,” he added.

Workers will be transported by vans and buses beginning Sunday night to clear bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants, and other public areas.

The Department of Sanitation said shovelers are paid $19.14 per hour, with overtime at $28.71 per hour after 40 hours.

However, netizens pointed out that applicants are required to present two forms of identification, despite Mamdani and the Democratic Party’s fervent opposition to Republican-backed voter ID mandates.

NEW: New York City is requiring multiple forms of ID for anyone who would like to register to be a paid emergency snow shoveler ahead of this weekend’s winter storm.

This, as some Dems say requiring ID to vote is akin to “Jim Crow 2.0”.

The National Weather Service has issued a blizzard warning for the city from Sunday morning through Monday evening.

Forecasters warn snowfall totals could exceed 20 inches, with the heaviest accumulation expected overnight Sunday into Monday.

The deployment comes after scrutiny following January’s Winter Storm Fern, when reports questioned whether the city had adequate emergency staffing.

The Department of Sanitation disputed those claims, saying operational needs have changed since the last comparable storm nearly a decade ago.

Officials said the incoming storm could surpass January’s system in severity.
