During #WGN’s LIVE segment from St. Laurence on Friday, Ana Belaval noted about the incredible building enhancements made and the future ones coming - including a state-of-the-art field house - for the rising Chicago Catholic League power. As I noted recently, I don’t know if there is another school...

Just look at St. Thomas, rising from the ashes to become one of the most talked-about parishes in Jamaica! 🇯🇲 That’s because big things are happening there. When we say we have a vision that we will turn into reality, that is a commitment you can bank on. In my last post about St. Thomas, the question “What about other parts of St. Thomas?” emerged. I want to assure you that the development you seek is coming and is directly connected to the work at the Urban Centre, which will be the parish’s economic hub. St. Thomas is under development, and the results will speak for themselves through visible and meaningful improvements in people’s lives.

Let me ask you an honest question: Who’s your daddy? If you’re a high school student athlete in Illinois, the answer is easy when it comes to one’s “Right to Play.” It’s not your Mom or Dad. It’s a private third-party vendor called the Illinois High School Association (IHSA). If you play a high school sport, the IHSA controls you even when your school day is over and even more when school isn’t even in session. It’s long been an overreach of control from a small group of narrow-minded ego-driven adults literally dictating what student athletes and families can do in their free time. But much-needed and welcome change is getting closer for all student athletes and their families, as more and more student athletes and parents come forward from present and past to speak up and talk about the disadvantages the IHSA - and those who benefit from it - have and are causing. The first victory earlier this week was by slaughter rule, a 12-0 thumping over the IHSA in committee vote. Now it moves to the big leagues. You can read more here: I encourage you to engage and educate yourself in a topic that 75 percent of high school student athletes across the U.S. can do, but it’s something high school student athletes in Illinois can’t do. Over the next 30 days, you are going to see more stories and hear directly from student athletes, families, leading athletic trainers and doctors, school leaders from Illinois and other states on local and national media outlets talking about this overreach and how the IHSA continues to put student athletes at a disadvantage. So I ask you again: Since when does a private third-party vendor get to control what student athletes and their families do, especially during their free time? Think about that. As you’ll see once again, it’s another classic case of cherry-picking to benefit one’s self by an organization that has now lost three consecutive court cases due to its unlawful dictating overreach. As always, I’ll layout both sides and show you how this has and continues to work easily and well for high school student athletes and schools across the U.S. - except in Illinois. They’ll say “health & safety.” They’ll say “scheduling & other logistics.” I’ll show you how those stocked talking points aren’t even tired, “they’re outdated” as one athletic trainer and other athletic director said to me today. Change for adults who control is always hard. It’s time to do what is right and long overdue for high school student athletes and families in Illinois. You’ll see why loud and clear beginning this week. **This is the first in a daily series.**

Huge discrepancies reported in Chicago Public Schools - There is a public school in Chicago with space for 912 kids. 28 students were enrolled. The school is 97% empty and it spends $93,000 per year per student - The staff-to-student ratio is one-to-one, but there's not a single student that can read - There are over 100 public schools in the state of Illinois that reportedly have zero students proficient in reading or math - There are 20 public schools in Chicago that are basically empty “That's not an exaggeration. Zero students are proficient in reading from that school. Just because the government spends money doesn't mean they spend it efficiently or Well, and once it's use it or lose it, they'll use it. They will spend regardless. They know it's wasted money. They just keep spending and spending frivolously and they never fix any of the problems and they just keep proliferating. It's not about the good of the students, it's about the adults. — You wouldn't make a student go to school where they're spending $93,000 per student, and there's not a single student that can read that is public unions at work. Its leftist policies failed failure.”

Look around the U.S. at how high school soccer is structured in states to help and protect kids. In Florida, high school games are only played during the week so student athletes can still compete in exposure club tournaments on the weekend if they choose to. In Texas, schools are limited to 2 games per week: One game Monday-Thursday and one Friday or Saturday. No back-to-backs are allowed. In Nebraska, the final week of the postseason schedule is: Monday → Friday → Monday. That’s what prioritizing student athlete health and safety actually looks like. Then there’s Illinois and the Illinois High School Association (IHSA). Until it was forced by a student athlete-led Illinois House Bill in spring of 2025, the IHSA owned and blocked student athletes from any outside event during the season. The IHSA has no health and safety limitation on the number of games that may be played in a week. The IHSA had schools playing FOUR of its final tournament games in FIVE days — including the possibility of 3 final games in 24 hours. Don’t believe me: Tuesday → Friday → Saturday (two). Now, it’s only one game on Saturday: Tuesday → Friday → Saturday…a mere 3 games in 120 hours. So let’s recap: Florida protects weekends to help kids have options. Texas limits games and bans back-to-backs to protect vs overscheduling. Nebraska spaces out same-site postseason matches over 8 days at the end of the season. As I pointed out on Cubs Opening Day on FOX in March 2025, when it comes to helping high school soccer players and “health and safety” with the IHSA…don’t let the truth get in the way of the facts. #MoreThanJUSTGames #IHSA

Here’s my prayer for all those working for the #IHSA under assistant executive director Beth Sauser’s leadership this weekend in Hoffman Estates: Use common sense. This is not about you, it’s about the kids. What do I mean: Everyone wants to stay on time with the schedule, and yes, we all know the schedule is tight. But remember come Championship Saturday: Take a breath and let the kids enjoy the moment with their family and fans. This video is from Nov. 2022, a prime example of just giving a minute of authentic interaction between players and fans. Since I can remember - and every media person throughout Illinois will agree - the IHSA always acts like they’re always on a quick time schedule. They “must” get the official team photo “right after the game.” Actually, you don’t have to. There are multiple different ways to get it and do things. Nearly every winning state title team has a story about the IHSA interrupting the celebration, and what does that cause: Emotion. When you connect emotion to memories, you receive one of two things for the IHSA brand: Positive or negative lifelong memories. A little common sense would allow for a nicer and more memorable moment for student athletes, their families and fans. Lord knows the IHSA brand needs all the help it can get these days. It has banned enough kids, families, schools and communities this fall, let’s try not to ban controlled celebrations next.

When you pull up the tuition for a D3 school, the number hits you like a wall. You show your parents. They shake their heads. Someone closes the laptop. And just like that, a school that could have been the perfect fit gets crossed off a list it never even made it onto. That happens every single recruiting cycle. What most families never get to is the part where the sticker price is not the real price. Where financial aid, merit scholarships, and one of the highest discount rates in the country bring that number down to something that actually makes sense. There are athletes on D3 rosters right now from public schools, from towns that are not affluent, from families who almost did not apply because of that first number they saw online. They kept digging. And it changed everything. Every school in the country is also required by law to have a net price calculator on their website. Plug in your GPA and your family's information and you will get a real ballpark number, not the scary one on the homepage. Brant McAdams is the head football coach at Pacific Lutheran Football and this week on the podcast he breaks down recruiting from a head coach's perspective and what families get wrong about D3. Want the full episode? Comment PODCAST and I will send it over.

Dear Catholics, this is not the time for Hallelujah Challenge. This is lenten season. There is an app called Hallow by Alex at Hallow. This app made me fall in love with the Catholic Church. It was this app that opened my eyes to all the beauties I didn't know that the Catholic Church has. This app has converted many people to the Catholic Christian faith. It has brought many Catholics who were confused about the Catholic faith back to the Church. If you are looking for where to grow richly in knowledge of the Catholic Church, this app is for you. It contains all the novenas and litanies you can think of. Mark Wahlberg, the popular Hollywood actor, taught me how to recite the rosary perfectly on this app. This app contains "Bible in a Year" and catechism podcast that was recorded by fathermikeschmitz during the covid lockdown. Fr. Mike read and explained the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation and explained it in such a way that it fits in our world today. Many Genzs all over the world have returned back to the Catholic Church because of this Hallow App. It also contains many gregorian chants and radio drama of many Saints that you can listen to. Saints like St. Valentine, St. Josephine Bahkita, St. Lucy, St. Patrick, St. Pope John Paul the Great, St. Padre Pio, and too many to count. There is also the children section if you are looking at wanting your kids to grow in the Catholic faith. This app has these and many more. Hallow is currently on a #pray40 Lent challenge, and today is Day 2. (Peep my current streak lol. Is there any Nigerian living in Nigeria who has this streak???) So please, head to your playstore or applestore as the case may be and download the Hallow app. I promise you, you'd be greatly blessed by this. So, in this Lenten season, we are returning back to the Faith. We are returning back to Jesus.

LeBron James on winning the most games in NBA history: “I got asked a question two weeks ago, maybe a week ago. A reporter asked me like, Bron, did you going to Miami, did that turn you into a winner? And kind of thought about it for a little bit and I responded. I said, “Actually, I’ve always been a winner.” Going to Miami. Evolved me and showed me how to win at the highest level of this league. You know, it helped me get to that point. But I’ve always been a winner. Every stop in my basketball journey has resulted in a championship and that is from the little leagues to middle school, high school and in the pros I’ve always won. So to hear the winningest player you know in NBA history. It’s like it’s a shout out to all my coaches, all my teammates.” (Via Mind the Game)

Illinois parents urgently need school choice alternatives. That was reinforced for me yesterday after my visit to St. Patrick's, a private school in Springfield, Illinois. I was so impressed with the student engagement, discipline and participation – and the teaching of values. Contrast that to nearby Feitshans Elementary, a public school in Springfield. There just 2% of kids read at grade level. Only 1% are at grade level in math. Governor JB Pritzker and Democratic supermajorities killed school choice at the end of 2023. They made Illinois the first state in the country to wipe out school choice. As your governor, I promise to do everything I can to bring back school choice for families trapped in failing schools. #twill IL Republican Party Ted For Illinois #schoolchoice

Christopher Hitchens on Israel and Zionism: "I think Zionism is a stupid idea to begin with, it's a bad idea, a Messianic idea, a superstitious idea. And it guaranteed a quarrel with the Arabs because it meant we're going to take away from you what is most precious, your land. It guaranteed an injustice to the Arabs which now anyone can see and is now entering its fourth generation of Palestinians brought up either in exile or dispossession or under occupation and humiliation, and now we know something has to be done to address what is part of the original sin." "I've been writing in favor of a Palestinian homeland all my life, and I'm now no less or more in favor of it than I was before. It's a matter of principle." "If Jews born in Brooklyn have a right to a state in Palestine, then Palestinians born in Jerusalem have a right to a state in Palestine. Anyone who doesn't agree with that principle is suspect." "Everybody knows that if you want to occupy people against their will, if you want to be the governor of another people who haven't chosen you, you will end up visiting terrible cruelty on them. There certainly cannot be a humane occupation." "I think the securely recognized borders should not allow for Israeli colonization or occupation of the territory of its neighbors, which is what it's doing now. The right to exist argument has been used now to the point where what it's going to mean is that the Israel you're talking about will include the annexed and illegally occupied West Bank." "When George Bush senior said to the Israelis: If you go on like this I will ask Congress to suspend your loan guarantees, I thought that was extremely impressive, and so did everyone else in the Middle East. It led to the nearest we've ever had to a proper peace conference that was in Madrid. Bill Clinton chose to run that year from the right against Bush, saying that he thought Bush was being soft on Cuba, and also from the right on Israel, saying if he was President the Israelis would not be subjected to this kind of pressure. So the last time that there was an impressive American policy it was a Republican administration, and it was undone by the hero of every liberal in this room."

In the last couple of weeks since “Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law” has come out, I've gotten dozens and dozens of calls and emails and texts from people in my life. And what they’re telling me is that they have heard from people in their own lives—people at work, people at their kids' school, people in their families—who said they were on the fence about Israel, or they said bad things about Israel because of things they learned on TikTok or on the internet, and they didn't know any of the things that were in the book, and they're never going to do that again. And that's consistent with what I've seen around the country over the last three years. Every single time I go to a church of any denomination or a school or a college or a law school—maybe not right then and there, but in the days or weeks that follow, people will call and say, "You know what? I didn't know the things you talked about in your speech, and I'll never say there was genocide in Gaza again. I'll never call Israel an apartheid state again." The vast majority of Americans, they're people of good faith and open hearts. They don't necessarily care so much what's going on 3,000 miles away in a little country in the Mediterranean, but they do care about the law. If they are presented the facts and the evidence in a way that's based on reason and common sense—not emotion and vitriol and all the rest—they will be convinced.

I didn't know the things you talked about in your speech, and I'll never say there was genocide in Gaza again. I'll never call Israel an apartheid state again." The vast majority of Americans, they're people of good faith and open hearts. They don't necessarily care so much what's going on 3,000 miles away in a little country in the Mediterranean, but they do care about the law. If they are presented the facts and the evidence in a way that's based on reason and common sense—not emotion and vitriol and all the rest—they will be convinced.

Alot of people ask me to come and speak at their school board meetings, while I can attend some of them, many are just to far on the weekdays So here's my speech for you to read or play my video for your board on guidance 5756, hope it helps you ----------------------------------- Thank you for giving me a chance to speak today, Just want to touch of the subject of guidance 5756 Our children are be relentlessly bombarded by gender indoctrination on a level never seen before. From the new sex ed curriculum pushed by the state to your library books If you didnt know it parents, Over the summer our state New Jersey Boe recently passed policy to remove the words male and female from schools Here are some misconceptions about 5756, it is not policy but always was guidance, you will not lose state funding if you abolish it, trans kids are still protected under LAD even if you abolish Many think 5756 is LGBTQ outline guidance, it is narrowly targeted towards trans students The guidance essentially boils down to the response a school should undertake if a student thinks they are trans: they would like to be addressed by a name other than their legal one/identify with a pronoun/gender not corresponding to their biological sex The guidance also advises: the school district may seek a variety of professionals, including counselors/school psychologists Will these counselors tell kids after sex reassignment surgery they are 5x more likely to have made a suicide attempt & 19x more likely to have died from suicide It would be a mistake in the 1st place for any board to take on this policy based purely on if something happened to the child or got forbid died, you the board would be sued. Are you truly willing to take that risk? Garden State Equality pushes for programs in schools and GSA groups (Gender Sexuality Alliances) to push the agenda further Hackensack is having pride events all year with gsa activities and woodstown is hosting a series of events as well Our kids are very impressionable and what to please us, mental health issues are being accelerated pushing this as well, kids are utterly confused, especially my own and Countless others I talk to around the state I would like to stress the engagement aspect of sexual influence on any child under the age of 18 the definition of influence over a child stated in Title 9, specifically 6-1 The performing on any indecent, immoral or unlawful act or deed, in the presence of a child that may debauch, or endanger or degrade the morals of the child Think about this child abuse law as the government and our Schools push this gender agenda We need to be teaching these kids, not indoctrinating our students with endless gender ideology What I'm asking is simple, bring up a vote to remove this guidance. If you truly care about the children, you'll stop keeping parents in the dark about what's happening to their kids Parents, it you want this guidance removed, I encourage you to email and speak out to your board. They don't know you have concerns unless you voice them Lastly Always remember this fact, You are not our kids parents, we are, it's best never forget that as you try to hide information from the parents with this guidance Thank you ------------------------------------ Speech and video is just under 3 minutes, so it'll work at any BOE Rally your fellow #NewJersey parents, and keep pushing back on issues that affect you

Kids AND Parents: Please do me a favor… Click the video and watch the players, the emotion. Click the video and listen to the announcers. Read the shared Tweet/X post from the Chicago Blackhawks, one of the most iconic professional franchises in the world. You don’t have to specialize in one sport. You don’t have to skip high school. You don’t have to play for this club or that club or else. Kids AND Parents: This goes for ALL sports. Mason was a first-round NHL draft pick this past June. If this doesn’t get your attention, I don’t know what I or anyone else can do to make you realize this is about YOUR life, YOUR lifelong memories - not another adult’s decision for YOUR future. #MoreThanJUSTGames #IHSA

St. Louis means everything to me. It’s the city that shaped me, and now I get to share its stories. To be recognized as the first woman named Missouri Sportscaster of the Year by my peers at National Sports Media Association is the honor of a lifetime. It’s something I never could have imagined while walking the halls of Clayton High School. Getting to cover the hometown teams and people who inspired me growing up has been a privilege. Thank you to KMOV for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to do what I love. And thank you to the St. Louis Cardinals, St. Louis Blues, St Louis CITY SC, St. Louis Battlehawks, Saint Louis Men's Basketball, Mizzou Football, and everyone who welcomed me in and trusted me with their stories. I’m incredibly grateful.

Hear Stanley Druckenmiller Stan Druckenmiller describe what he would look for when hiring a money manager. “If I was hiring a money manager, the first thing I would look for is if all I heard was they never made a mistake and they’re telling me about all their wins, that is a big red flag. The great money managers I’ve met they generally don’t tell you about their wins , they tell you about a lot of their losses” “I would definitely look for discipline. The first thing when I look at the records, I would go to the bear market periods and see how they did in those and the quality of the records. But you can learn a ton from the record on how they did in certain years and when you see an outlier, you ask them. There will always be one or two inconsistencies in there”

Pastor Erik Reed boldly putting an end to the "both sides" arguments we've seen from many Christians over the last few weeks and calling out the Democrats for being at war with "creational reality." "We are living in a world where there are two different visions for what kind of society we want to live in. And if Christ is not in the foundations of what we're doing with our vision for the future, if the Christian foundation and worldview that made our country great to begin with is not there, and everybody's just doing what's right in their own eyes, you can guarantee chaos will ensue. We are choosing between two distinct futures. They are not the same. Our two political parties in our country are not morally equivalent to each other... I am not baptizing the Republican Party. They did not come from Mount Sinai on high from God to say 'Thus saith the Lord.' But the current state of the Democratic Party, as they are...they are a party at war with creational realities every day. Creational realities. They are at war about what it means to be a man or a woman, about marriage, about sexuality, about who has the right to live in a womb. They are at war with life and prosperity. There is one side in particular with a progressive ideology that not only tried to suppress the story of the young woman in Charlotte, but who celebrated, both in the media and with college professors and many others, the death of a man whose beliefs they did not hold... And if you're more concerned with what I've just said in the last two or three minutes, about sounding partisan, than you are concerned about the reality of what's actually happening in our society right now, you have lost the plot."
