Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and his wife reported more than $10 million in adjusted gross income in 2024, including over $1.4 million from gambling winnings. The winnings were reported on the Democratic governor’s tax returns, which his campaign released this week. Gov. JB Pritzker released partial tax records Wednesday showing he and his wife reported more than $10.3 million in taxable income — including more than $1.4 million in income from gambling.https://t.co/KTmvnyL18O — Chicago Tribune (@chicagotribune) October 16, 2025 More from the Chicago Tribune: The billionaire governor has used his personal fortune as an heir to the Hyatt Hotels Corp. to bankroll his political campaigns while also helping fund other Democratic causes nationwide. As has been done annually since his first run for governor, Pritzker’s campaign released incomplete information detailing his wealth, as it did not provide his full federal and state income tax returns, which could reveal greater details about his financial interests. In addition, Pritzker holds a substantial portion of his wealth in trusts. Since entering public life, Pritzker and his campaign have repeatedly declined to release tax records related to those trusts, making the information difficult to independently verify. But in the records his campaign has released, the $10.3 million in taxable income the governor and his wife, MK, reported for 2024 was the highest total in several years. For 2023, the figure was $3.2 million, and the year before that it was $2.3 million. For 2021, the Pritzkers reported $18.5 million in state taxable income, with the majority of that — $11.3 million — coming from capital gains. Pritzker does not take a salary as governor, an office he’s held since 2019. Asked why the Pritzkers reported three times more state taxable income last year than the year before, a spokesperson for the governor’s campaign said in an emailed response that “certain trusts make distributions each year, and the taxable income associated with those distributions changes from year to year based on the performance of trust assets.” Pritzker was asked about the gambling winnings during a press conference this week, saying he was “incredibly lucky” in Las Vegas. The governor credited the winnings to playing card games at a casino.

I was incredibly lucky—you have to be… I like to play cards, and, so, you know, I founded a charitable poker match here in Chicago.… pic.twitter.com/pVGNwCr25r — I Meme Therefore I Am (@ImMeme0) October 16, 2025 NBC 5 Chicago provided further info: Pritzker said the winnings were cumulative from the year, and did not specify which games he played to win the money, but he said that he was fortunate to have left the casino before being tempted to push his luck at the tables. “It happened in one trip. Most of the time, anybody that’s been to a casino, you win, and anyone who’s played cards in a casino, you often play for too long and lose whatever you won,” he said. “I was fortunate enough to have to leave before that happened.” Pritzker also mentioned the Chicago Poker Challenge, a charity event he sponsors to benefit the Illinois Holocaust Museum. He praised the event’s success and its ability to raise funds for civil rights activism. As for what the gambling winnings could do to his political fortunes, Pritzker dismissed the idea that such an attack would be harmful to his candidacy for governor or potentially for other offices. “No. I think people know that when I got elected, and they’ve known for some time, that I’ve been very fortunate in my life,” he said. “I’m focused on running for reelection as governor, that’s the only thing I’m focused on politically.

Folks, do NOT shoot the messenger on this one…. And do NOT judge this by the headline — read the full article first, ok? Is that fair enough to ask? Here’s the deal: I saw a bunch of posts going viral claiming that Charlie Kirk was seen in the mirror (or is it a window?) at that Rose Garden Medal of Freedom Ceremony at the exact moment when President Trump presents Erika Kirk with the Charlie Kirk Medal of Freedom. I’m just going to show you the posts first and then we’re going to FACT CHECK it, because that’s what we do around here. And spoiler alert: you might actually be surprised at the results of the Fact Check. But first, check out these posts and the red circle: Is that CHARLIE KIRK in the mirror ??? pic.twitter.com/KGdfOCriwz — 7̵7̵7̵_IS_666 (@777_IS_666) October 17, 2025 Another here: Not stirring the conspiracy theories, just noting how spooky it is that it looks like #CharlieKirk in the reflection of the mirror at the Rose Garden presentation of the Medal of Freedom. pic.twitter.com/VyLQELSp5I — AJA (@Lunarwaltzing) October 15, 2025 Another here: Did you see the reflection in the mirror! I don’t know who that is, but he looks familiar……God Bless Charlie Kirk! pic.twitter.com/qUEw14ACg3 — Diane Coolquad (@mrscoolquad) October 14, 2025 Here is about the best zoom in I can get you: Remember, I’m going to give you a full Fact Check on this in just a moment, but can we just pause for a second to admit the resemblance and the timing is absolutely uncanny? Ok now the big question…. Is it true? Or just Fake News? Just a fake video? Deep Fake video? Sora2 video? Well, actually the video is REAL and I can prove it to you. We do our homework around here as you know, so what I did was I went back to the live feed video from RSBN from the event and sure enough the face in the mirror is right there! See it right here, I clipped the key part for you: Backup video here if needed: Ummmmm….is that CHARLIE KIRK in the mirror ??? What the heck? FULL VIDEO: https://t.co/R8yPyVUgeS Go to about the 32:15 minute mark to see it pic.twitter.com/KfwbNbGtoI — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) October 18, 2025 And if you want to verify it for yourself, I think you absolutely should! The full RSBN live feed video from the event can be found here: Go to about the 32:15 minute mark and you can see it for youself! So, where does that leave us? Am I saying Charlie Kirk is back from the dead? Or the whole thing was staged and he’s still alive? No. I have no idea about any of that and quite frankly I think the odds are about 99% against either of those things being true. But I can say two things confidently after researching this: One, the video and the screenshots with a Charlie Kirk like face in the mirror ARE real. And two, it’s just one more really, really weird thing to add to this whole saga. I mean, you have to admit that face in that mirror looks DEAD ON just like him. What do you think?

President Trump said the United States destroyed a “very large DRUG-CARRYING SUBMARINE that was navigating towards the United States on a well known narcotrafficking transit route.” “U.S. Intelligence confirmed this vessel was loaded up with mostly Fentanyl, and other illegal narcotics. There were four known narcoterrorists on board the vessel. Two of the terrorists were killed. At least 25,000 Americans would die if I allowed this submarine to come ashore,” Trump said. “The two surviving terrorists are being returned to their Countries of origin, Ecuador and Colombia, for detention and prosecution. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike. Under my watch, the United States of America will not tolerate narcoterrorists trafficking illegal drugs, by land or by sea,” he continued. Trump shared footage of the vessel being destroyed.

The president has justified the strikes by asserting that the United States is engaged in an “armed conflict” with drug cartels. He is relying on the same legal authority used by the George W. Bush administration when it declared a war on terrorism after the Sept. 11 attacks, and that includes the ability to capture and detain combatants and to use lethal force to take out their leadership. Trump is also treating the suspected traffickers as if they were enemy soldiers in a traditional war. “That was a drug-carrying submarine built specifically for the transportation of massive amounts of drugs,” Trump said. “This was not an innocent group of people. I don’t know too many people that have submarines. And that was an attack on a drug-carrying, loaded-up submarine,” he continued.

The military campaign is part of a broader effort by Trump who says he wants Venezeula’s president, Nicholas Maduro, to step down, blaming Maduro for orchestrating the flow of illicit drugs coming to the U.S. Earlier this week, Trump threatened to attack Venezuela by land, confirmed ongoing covert operations inside the country and ordered bombers capable of dropping nuclear weapons to fly in circles off its coast in what appears to be an unprecedented show of force intended to pressure Maduro to step down.

“John Bolton should be executed!” “John Bolton should swing for a tall oak tree!” Now before you say Noah that’s too harsh, those are NOT my words… I would never talk like that. Those are John Bolton’s words! Those are the words of John Bolton saying what he’d like to do to Julian Assange and Edward Snowden who he claims committed espionage and treason. Watch here: TRANSCRIPT: If he gets to the United States, he’ll get due process here, and I hope he gets at least 176 years in jail for what he did. I’m not bothered by the death penalty in this country, and I think crimes like espionage that harm the security and the safety of innocent American civilians deserve the strictest punishment. My view is that Snowden committed treason. He ought to be convicted of that, and then he ought to swing from a tall oak tree. Well, he should be prosecuted, and if he’s found guilty, he should be punished to the fullest extent possible. And what is that? Death. You think he should be killed? Yes. Backup here if needed: John Bolton called for Assange, Snowden and Manning to be executed under the Espionage Act, for communicating true information to the public.Now Bolton faces 18 counts under the Espionage Act for mishandling national defense information. pic.twitter.com/pr0H7pkfUL — WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) October 17, 2025 Unfortunately for John Bolton, Johnny Boy himself just got Indicted on 18 counts under the Espionage Act: BREAKING: John Bolton Indicted On 18 Counts Under The Espionage Act!

The indictment charges Bolton with eight counts of transmission of national defense information (NDI) and 10 counts of unlawful retention of NDI. “There is one tier of justice for all Americans,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Anyone who abuses a position of power and jeopardizes our national security will be held accountable. No one is above the law.” “The FBI’s investigation revealed that John Bolton allegedly transmitted top secret information using personal online accounts and retained said documents in his house in direct violation of federal law,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “The case was based on meticulous work from dedicated career professionals at the FBI who followed the facts without fear or favor. Weaponization of justice will not be tolerated, and this FBI will stop at nothing to bring to justice anyone who threatens our national security.” “Keeping Americans safe always has been, and always will be, the top priority for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland,” said U.S. Attorney Kelly O. Hayes for the District of Maryland. “If anyone endangers our national security, we’re committed to holding them accountable.” “The FBI is committed to protecting classified information to keep Americans safe. Anyone entrusted with this knowledge takes an oath and has a duty to safeguard it. The charges alleged in this indictment demonstrate there will be consequences for those who violate this responsibility,” said Special Agent in Charge William J. DelBagno of the FBI Baltimore Field Office. The indictment alleges that Bolton illegally transmitted NDI by using personal email and messaging application accounts to send sensitive documents classified as high as Top Secret. These documents revealed intelligence about future attacks, foreign adversaries, and foreign-policy relations. The indictment also alleges that Bolton illegally retained NDI documents within his home. These documents included intelligence on an adversary’s leaders as well as information revealing sources and collections used to obtain statements on a foreign adversary. If convicted, the defendant faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison for each count of unlawful retention of NDI and a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison for each count of transmission of NDI. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. The FBI Baltimore Field Office is investigating the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Thomas Sullivan and Robert Goldaris for the District of Maryland, Trial Attorneys Adam P. Barry and S. Derek Shugert of the National Security Division’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section, and Trial Attorney Tanner Kroeger of the National Security Division’s National Security Cyber Section are prosecuting the case. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. This absolutely cracked me up: John Bolton right now pic.twitter.com/q0Qs2MqnK8 — Bre ✟ (@BreFillmore) October 16, 2025 The NY Post had more details: A federal grand jury indicted former Trump national security adviser John Bolton Thursday on 18 counts of illegally hoarding or sending sensitive national security information — leaving the longtime pillar of the Republican foreign policy establishment facing decades in prison. The indictment in Greenbelt, Md. federal court alleges that Bolton sent sensitive national security documents through a personal AOL email account and knowingly transmitted materials to outside contacts while serving in the first Trump administration. Bolton, 76, served as President Trump’s national security adviser from April 2018 until his firing in September 2019. Upon leaving office, he pledged he did not have any classified documents or notes in his possession. However, those communications — some of which stayed on his AOL account — were exposed to bad actors when a foreign entity hacked Bolton’s email, according to a probable cause warrant unsealed last month. Bolton faces up to 10 years in prison on each count of the indictment. Federal agents searched Bolton’s Maryland home and Washington, DC office on Aug. 22 in connection with the long-running investigation, which FBI sources told The Post was mysteriously “shelved” during the administration of President Trump’s predecessor, Joe Biden. As usual, the Democrats were doing EXACTLY what they (falsely) accused President Trump of doing. LOCK HIM UP and don't drop the soap John.....
