Video from NBC’s Sky 5 chopper captured the scene as several people were seen running from trains carrying boxes, fleeing from Metra police and leaving piles of debris strewn across the tracks. According to Metra, trains on the UP-West line, both inbound and outbound, were stopped near Kedzie as the incident unfolded, citing “police activity.” “Extensive delays are anticipated,” an alert to riders stated. “Metra encourages customers to seek alternate transportation at this time. Updates will be provided as information becomes available.” A spokesperson for Metra said delays were due to reports of people stealing off freight trains in the area and warned delays could last for “several hours.” WATCH: Thieves are looting train cars on Chicago's west side.

At one point, police officers were seen drawing their weapons and aiming them toward at least one vehicle apparently speeding away from the scene. This is the second time in a few months people allegedly broke into cargo trains on this route. It was back in August, near Lawler and Kinzie on the city’s West Side, when thieves broke into another freight train and got away with multiple boxes full of TVs, police said. In a statement, a Union Pacific spokesperson said, “rail burglaries pose a safety threat to the public, our employees and local law enforcement officers.” Metra trains are being stopped near Kedzie as police continue to investigate. UPW train service is temporarily suspended due to ongoing police activity near Kedzie. Metra encourages customers to seek alternate transportation at this time. Updates will be provided as information becomes available. — Metra UP-W (@metraUPW) October 11, 2024 WATCH:

CNBC’s Jim Cramer is undefeated….at being wrong. In case you don’t know what I mean, allow me to explain. Jim Cramer went “viral” before that was even a thing back in 2008 when he was asked about Bear Stearns and whether it was a safe investment…. In hindsight, this was 3 days before it imploded and went bankrupt. Jim Cramer’s response is now the thing of legend, when he yelled at a caller: “Bear Stearns Is FINE!!!!” See it here: Hilarious clip of Jim Cramer, 3 days before the collapse of Bear Stearns: pic.twitter.com/fi9IrA7kYe — 3persian3darius (@3persian3darius) September 21, 2024 And ever since then, people have noticed he gives out wrong advice on a daily basis. So much so that now the “Inverse Cramer” is a popular meme and people simply expect that the opposite will happen to whatever he says. Ouch. Which is why everyone is celebrating now that he recently said he doesn’t know how Donald Trump will win. In other wins? A Trump win is now guaranteed!

Trumps odds of winning just went to 99% https://t.co/84VtTYq4yt — Mostly Peaceful Memes (@MostlyPeacefull) October 12, 2024 JIM CRAMER: “I DON’T SEE HOW HE [TRUMP] WINS” pic.twitter.com/9gUVMHBtXD — NewsWire (@NewsWire_US) October 11, 2024 Meanwhile, from Yahoo Finance, Cramer also says he thinks President Trump is by far the best for the economy: CNBC Mad Money host Jim Cramer has said in the past that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is good for one’s investment portfolio. On Monday, the stock picker said a Trump White House could also be good for income earners. What Happened: “If you’re in the stock market, if you care about your paycheck, you go with Trump,” Cramer said while appearing on Squawk Box. “That’s what you do,” he said. Offering the rationale for the view, Cramer told Squawk Box host David Faber that the former president would cut taxes on income. Faber countered him saying his taxes were raised enormously during the previous Trump administration, adding that he lived in a blue-walled state. Incidentally, in a late-July episode of Mad Money show, which he hosts, Cramer said Vice President Kamala Harris, who is pitched against Trump, is an ideal candidate for investors looking to put their money in tech or international stocks. “If you’re looking to invest in tech, you want a world where tech has a voice in Washington, not slashed vocal chords under Trump or on mute under Biden” and also “If you own many stocks of international companies and you want to vote your portfolio, Harris is more likely to help than hurt,” he said. Why It’s Important: The Trump campaign’s economic policy envisages a reduction in federal corporate taxes from the current 21%. It was rumored that his team floated the idea of imposing tariffs in order to make up for lost revenues from lowered taxes.

'It should work for you, the patient'

The Babylon Bee has come a long way since its days as a small comedy website making in-jokes about dispensational theology. In a mere eight years, it's become a major media company with the clout to land interviews with Elon Musk and John Cleese, while arguably overtaking the Onion as America's best satire website. Mann's shrewd portrayal of an overconfident yet ignorant man-child who sees the world through the simplistic lens of superheroes and supervillains deftly mocks what passes for journalism these days. Like that formerly great institution, the Bee can be a little hacky or partisan at times, but it's consistently funny and regularly risks the occasional big swing. The Bee's books "The Postmodern Pilgrim's Progress" and "How to Be a Perfect Christian," for example, are both funny and surprisingly honest about modern challenges in the evangelical world. Having met a few of the Bee's writers and seeing them grow, I’m generally impressed by the wit and cultural relevance the site exhibits. So I was particularly eager for the release of the company's first feature film, "January 6: The Most Deadliest Day." The film follows "investigative journalist" Garth Strudelfudd (Babylon Bee editor Kyle Mann, also credited as writer) as he bumbles his way through interviews with conservative pundits and January 6 participants in an attempt to uncover the truth about the darkest day in American history. Much of the joke here is Mann's earnest investigative journalist persona: He is a deluded crusader convinced that his efforts are crucial to both saving democracy and honoring the “billions” of people who died that day. There's no mistaking the movie's target audience; it's unlikely that anyone who sees January 6 as a brush with a fascist coup will have his mind changed by what Michael Knowles or Dennis Prager has to say. The pundits in the film are content to make the usual observations about media malfeasance and declining public trust, while pointing out once again that Trump never actually called for violence. "The Most Deadliest Day" flirts with actual journalism when it focuses on infamous January 6 participants like Jacob Chansley and Adam Johnson. But instead of taking this opportunity to humanize the people labeled as "insurrectionists" by the mainstream media, the movie mostly uses them as props to expose the vacuousness of its fake journalists. And ultimately it is the media that "The Most Deadliest Day" means to target. This isn't meant to be a hard-hitting expose in the manner of Tucker Carlson or the Epoch Times. Nor is it meant to reach out to those for whom January 6 is one of the high holidays of the liberal liturgical calendar. Unlike Matt Walsh's recent "Am I Racist?" "The Most Deadliest Day" stays behind a subscriber paywall, explicitly marking it for those already in on the joke. As I’ve written previously, the great risk of every conservative documentary is that it sacrifices persuasion on the altar of reassuring propaganda. But sometimes reassuring propaganda is what's called for. The Bee knows its audience, and the audience is fed up with media-fueled January 6 hysteria, especially as it ramps up ahead of next month's contentious election. Mann's shrewd portrayal of an overconfident yet ignorant man-child who sees the world through the simplistic lens of superheroes and supervillains deftly mocks what passes for journalism these days, and it's both satisfying and often hilarious.
