HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! Rambling Ray would have been 99 years old today although he be bitching and moaning if he had watched the Bears game last Sunday. He's been gone for a while now but he was one of a kind, for better or worse.

A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT to my good friend ASHLEY, who's recovering from surgery and obviously trying to duck out on the fact that it's her turn to buy lunch. Get well soon red!

I don't normally hand out stock market advice but I'm pretty sure you should sell all of your R. Kelly shares. This maggot finally got caught and justice was served. Being 53 years old and with additional cases looming in Chicago and Minneapolis, this 'tough' guy' should die in prison. As an old friend of mine used to say. "good riddance to bad rubbish."

Has Mayor Lori Lightfoot lost her mind? She's going to sue gang members??????????? Lori, just a heads up before you start the litigation. When a gang member starts making a lot of money, all of the houses and cars they buy are in grandma's name and unless you can prove that grandma is part of the gang, you can't punish an innocent third party. I think you have more important things with the violence climbing everyday. Over 2100 shootings and homicides approaching 400 for the year. The city has turned into a total cesspool and you are part of the problem because you've had the cops back off the poor little darlings and do you see the results? Shame on you.

This particular column isn't about sports but HOORAY FOR THE CHICAGO BEARS for exercising the option to purchase the land in Arlington Heights and now I hope they follow through and build a state of the art RETRACTABLE DOME stadium that can be used year 'round for concerts, tractor pulls, tournaments, super bowls and anything else plus the trains, buses and interstates all lead to Arlington Heights so the location is perfect. Now if we can just have the McCaskey family stand down and just enjoy the ride until kickoff 2026!

FINALLY, the Haitian problem at the Texas border has divided the country yet again. Some feel that we should welcome them all and others say ship them back and to be honest, I think I'm in favor of sending them back. How do you investigate these immigrants? Are they good people running from oppression or criminals on the run? But read on.....
I'm reminded of one of the early scenes in 'SCARFACE' starring Al Pacino in which he tells a bald faced lie about his criminal past so he'll be admitted after escaping from Cuba. The actuality of that flotilla in 1980 was that Castro emptied the prisons of all the undesirables and made them our problem PERMANENTLY by letting them "escape" to the U.S.
But now let's flip the coin. 32,000 Afghans have recently been embraced by this country and flown to America away from the danger of that country. How is that different? I really don't have the answer but I'm a little put off by 15,000 people trying to barge into our country and we don't know who the hell they are.
Mexico was helping by letting the immigrants camp on their side until their name was called but no more and that's the problem. I want to help those who need help but it has to be done in an orderly fashion so everyone can be protected in the long run.

Stay safe and stay well. Enjoy this beautiful fall weather.
