Plus it's always good to make Chicago happy. Chicago is happy which helps the Madison economy happy as they are a major midwest city. And if Madison is happy Sun Prairie is happy and that trickles down to Columbus the outside of the economy onion.

OH - In the NBA I was 8-2 last week. Now 36-15 in over/unders in the NBA

Not sure how many people follow Robert Reich but in July of 2016 he had a facebook post about Trump.
Now personally I felt Trump would go to jail for money laundering which he still might. BUT GEEZ - the guy is nothing but a con man who is ONLY successful and convincing people he is smart.
In July 2016 Reich said
Trumps dept has grown dramatically in 2015 from 300 million to 600 million and US banks will no longer loan him money. He has been black balled from all US banks.
He was becoming HIGHLY reliant on money from Russia which was coming from Putin and Russian oligarchs.
Trump hired Manafort, who had spent the last 2 decades as a communication advisor for Viktor Yanukovyvh ,the Pro Russian Prime Ukrainian Minister who was ousted from government but remained a good good friend of Putin.
Trumps foreign policy advisor, Carter Page entire professional career is all about investments in Russia and has (STILL HAS) deep deep financial ties to Putins financial empire.
Over the course of 2015 and 2016 Putin aligned ALL of Russian controlled newspapers to back Trump for President.
Trump, could care less about the Republican agenda except for ONE thing, eliminate assistance to Ukraine in their fight against Russia. WHICH, oddly, is exactly what Putin wanted.
Trump (remember this is BEFORE Trump was elected) suggested the US and NATO would NOT come to the defense of a NATO member in case of Russian invasion . . also very very important to Putin.
So . . . . . . do ya THINK? Trump is not involved with Russia and has been lying to the America people?
As many Republicans are now saying - they do not believe Trump will see all 4 years as a President. He's a freaking con-man (my words).
Then there is that tax break for the rich that was a complete FAIL.
4.3% of America workers got a wage increase
Private companies spent 69 times MORE on stock buy backs
433 of the top 500 fortune 500 companies said they had no planes of sharing the tax cut with their employees.

Many people do not trust our government. I do. I don't trust private industry. They constantly cheat Americans.
Remember I called out Jones Dairy Farm in Fort Atkinson for cheating consumers. Their sausages were smaller in their big bags and their combined weight was not even close to what was posted on the packaging.
They thanked me and "said" they would fix the problem and here are some free sausages.
Arby's had a FAIL on their ham sliders and I took photos. Got 2 free meals and an apology.
NOW THIS - seriously? This is how they define "ROLL?" Is this a surrealist version?
So DJ sends a text with this image to North Star and gets a reply. SORRY! Here are some coupons for MORE ice cream cake rolls and tells us what manufacturer did this FAIL.
If you see something say something.

OH - The Holiday Train. How could I miss advertising this. Looking back I TRIED when I put an image of my brothers train but then I seemed to go on to other things.
Got a message from a friend in Green Bay that said he saw Columbus on the news about the Holiday Train. Seems it was a pretty big deal across Wisconsin ... why? It's been coming for years right? Did they up their advertising budget?
I know Columbus has done a GREAT job promoting it (except for me it seems) so BRAVO Columbus. What we NEED is to have the Holiday Train AND the Holiday Parade on THE SAME EVENING!! WHOA! BLOW YOUR MIND!!
Also - while I'm thinking about the wonderfulness of Columbus. Well done Police Department and I presume City Council for closing Avalon to all on street parking on Halloween. That street is a catastrophic accident just waiting to happen. BRAVO.
Columbus HELP WANTED. In need of
City Clerk
Police Chief
Head of DPW and Assistant head.
And as normal I presume a number of City council vacancies will be up with seats ALREADY open.
The problem with Police Chief is vexing - seems nobody wants to be Chief . . in fact there is a serious lack of Police officers across the nation.
The problem with DPW is my downtown trees. I had ASSUMED the DPW dude, who was a qualified tree person, was going to be around for a while. Now it seems we have the head of the Rec Department and the 3rd in line at DPW in charge - both very unqualified.
all is well LOL
