“Follow the money trail” was a comment made on an October 12, 2025 article describing Chicago politics as a gangster movie rerun.  Well, both Jesse Watters of Fox News and the Chicago Sun-Times decided to “follow the money trail” for Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, now that he is standing in the way of arresting criminals and blocking President Trump’s heroic attempt to shut down crime in Chicago.

Jesse Watters reported that Pritzker made over a million dollars playing blackjack in 2024 while staying in Sin City Las Vegas.  Senior National Correspondent Kevin Corke stated Pritzker made “$1.425 million bucks in a single day,” as reported on his 2024 taxes.  Pritzker stated that he was on vacation with his wife and was “incredibly lucky.”  That was a good choice of words, for in the definition of the word “incredible” is, “so implausible as to elicit disbelief, not credible.”

Ten months and one American Thinker article later, Pritzker’s campaign has now  said, “he will donate the money to charity.”  That was convenient.

Fox New correspondent Kevin Corke stated, “No word on any possible casino video confirming the winnings or any word on any possible ongoing investigation.”  Corke also reported that Pritzker stated, “Come and get me.”  That was cocky! Is this an admission of some kind of guilt?  Smiling and looking like one of the family, Pritzker implied he was “Mr. Lucky on vacation.”  Watters sarcastically stated, “Pam Bondi, I am sure she’s not interested in this at all,” and Cork, sarcastically laughing, agreed.

Kicking this up to another level of interest, Fox Nation has a series of true crime investigations, one of which is called, “Riddle: The search for James R. [Riddle] Hoffa.”  Watching the first two episodes, you begin to realize that Jimmy Hoffa could be buried anywhere, but skipping to episode 7, you learn that after his execution by the mafia, most of his body was probably mashed up in a huge trash........
