One of the moments involving #KyleBusch I'll never forget was in 2007 when he drove for Hendrick, he won the first Car of Tomorrow race at Bristol, and in victory lane said "I'm not a fan of this car, I can't stand driving them, THEY SUCK!" 🤣 NASCAR was none too happy with him after that

DUH?! 😑 Gov. Pritzker says Mayor Johnson has “no plan” to keep Bears in Chicago: “He has come up with no plan at all about how the Bears would end up in the city of Chicago. So, that's problematic. I'd love them to be in the city, but we are three years in now, and he still has no plan.”

One wonders if Russia will ever release figures on how many soldiers were killed or injured during Putin's invasion of Ukraine? Or rather, do the Russian people even care to know? As usual, Russian propaganda care most about how many Ukrainians they have managed to murder! #Russia #Ukraine
