Mike Ditka gives more love to Donald Trump, rips Obama

By Dan Cahill

Mike Ditka made it known earlier this week to the Chicago Sun-Times that he’s behind Donald Trump and his run for president.

The former Bears coach reiterated his position again Thursday during his radio show on ESPN:

I like him. A lot, because I think he is exactly what this country needs. We don’t need what we have now. There is absolutely zero leadership in the White House right now. I’m kind of maybe old-fashioned. I think somebody who runs this country has to be the real deal. And I’m looking for the real deal right now. And I am hoping that Donald is that. I don’t know. I know what we have isn’t. And I don’t know if we’ve had it for a long time. I’m looking for another Ronnie Reagan, man.

Illinois wetlands deserve protection. Lawmakers should make that happen, while there is still time.

State lawmakers can pass legislation that would restore the safeguards the U.S. Supreme Court removed last year on wetlands, which play a key role in helping to mitigate the impact of climate change and are critical habitats for birds, insects, mammals and amphibians.

Watch and learn: Chicago Palestine Film Festival aims to entertain, educate

Not all filmmakers participating in the 15-day event are of Palestinian descent, but their art reclaims and champions narratives that have been defiled by those who have a Pavlovian tendency to think terrorists — not innocent civilians — when they visualize Palestinian men, women and children.
