Chicago Sun-Times ^ | March 29, 2024 | Mitchell Armentrout and Matthew Hendrickson
After almost two weeks of uncertainty, Burke edged out Clayton Harris III for the nomination, with mail ballots tallied Friday sealing the most hotly contested race of the primary a full 10 days after the polls closed. The Associated Press called the race over — and the two candidates agreed.

Chicago Sun Times ^ | 3.25.2024 | Emmanuel Camarillo and Sophie Sherry
Eileen O'Neill Burke's razor’s edge lead over Clayton Harris III in the Democratic primary for Cook County state’s attorney is now down to less than a third of a percentage point. The latest batches of city and suburban ballots reported on Monday left O'Neill Burke only 1,643 votes ahead of Harris —nearly a week after the polls closed. Based on the unofficial results, O'Neill Burke, a retired appellate court justice, now leads Harris, a university lecturer, 50.16% to 49.84%. The mail ballots trickling in since last Tuesday have consistently narrowed O'Neill Burke’s margin. On Monday, Harris won 56% of the...

ABC’s Modern Family actor Ed O’Neill says he plans to give back his honorary doctorate degree to Youngstown State University in protest of the school hiring former Republican congressman Bill Johnson as its new president. “I was so disappointed when I heard about this decision,” O’Neill told MSNBC. “He’s a polarizing guy, an election denier. He’s not the biggest fan of the gay community. He’s anti-choice. He’s just a polarizing, far right-wing fanatical guy.” O’Neill, who is from Youngstown, Ohio, also criticized Johnson for supporting former President Donald Trump after the 45th president was indicted, saying, “It’s crazy.”

The former Navy SEAL who claims to have killed Osama bin Laden was arrested in Texas this week. Robert J. O’Neill, 47, was booked Wednesday in Frisco and slapped with a Class A misdemeanor charge of assault causing bodily injury and a Class C misdemeanor charge of public intoxication, although jail records listed only the assault charge, The Dallas Morning News reported. Frisco police declined to release more information Friday about the arrest. O’Neill was released the same day on a $3,500 bond. O’Neill had been in town to record a podcast at a local cigar lounge. He did not...

Sunday Times ^ | 12th March 2023 | Loiuse O NEill
There is something very amusing about Catholics talking about beliefs that have no scientific consensus. I was raised in the church and, although I’m not religious any more, I still believe in God. I believe in something greater than us, shaping our lives in ways that we cannot even begin to understand. I’m out here, all the live-long day, praying to my guardian angels for help with parking spots and to ensure the plane doesn’t crash in the middle of particularly nasty turbulence. However, I have absolutely no proof that any of these things exist, outside of my belief in...

Dan Lauria will play former Speaker of the House Thomas “Tip” O’Neill in the upcoming biopic Reagan. He’ll play opposite Dennis Quaid, who plays the 40th president. In a statement, director Sean McNamara said, “He and Dennis have the chemistry needed to portray Reagan and O’Neill as two politicians who were respectful adversaries.” In Washington, the 1980s friendship between Reagan and O’Neill has long been viewed as a contrast to recent decades, as partisan rifts have gotten more personal.

VIDEONobody loves crack FBI operative Eric O'Neill more than Eric O'Neill as you can see. And one of the big reasons why he is so pleased with himself is that he was able to crack the Hunter Biden laptop story with such incredible accuracy. And the good news is that Eric O'Neill can bring his self-love to you and your group personally by booking him for a speaking engagement. Of course, his bookings would rise exponentially if he went on a joint speaking tour with John Paul Mac Isaac, the owner of the computer repair shop where Hunter Biden dropped...

Bin Laden Killer SEAL Rob O'Neill's Take on Rioters: 'I Can't Believe I Fought to Protect You'

The nation watched with disgust Friday night as rioters took to the streets of Minneapolis, Washington, DC, Atlanta, Los Angeles as well as the usual suspects in Oakland and Portland over the killing of George Floyd while in police custody. Nothing says grief-stricken like boosting some free s*it and burning buildings. Watching with the rest of the nation was Rob O’Neill, the retired Navy SEAL who helped send Osama bin Laden to paradise to collect his 72 raisins (not a typo). And O’Neill was disgusted along with most of the rest of America. O’Neill’s Twitter time-line that started last evening...
 

James O’Neill: Crime reforms would make NYC more dangerous (geriatric parole)

**SNIP** Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s proposed “geriatric parole” program - which would entitle some state prisoners 55 or older who have served at least half their sentence to parole hearings - is one such concern to O’Neill, though proponents say it’s humane and could save the state money on medical care. “Most people in New York City and across the nation are really good people,” said O’Neill. “But there’s a certain percentage of the population that just can’t abide by society’s rules, and they do very bad things and they need to stay in prison.” **SNIP** O’Neill said Sunday he doesn’t...

O’NEILL, Neb. — Federal immigration enforcement officers surrounded a tomato greenhouse complex Wednesday morning in an apparent bust of undocumented immigrants. An ICE spokesman confirmed that it was an “ongoing law enforcement activity” and said that details would be coming later in the day. Shortly before 9 a.m. several ICE law enforcement vehicles arrived at the O’Neill Ventures plant on the northwest edge of O’Neill. Nebraska state troopers blocked the entrance.

A witness on the plane with Rob O’Neill claimed the media has greatly exaggerated how the events went down when the former Navy SEAL was removed. TMZ reported that Osama Bin Laden’s killer was “belligerent,” extremely drunk and called a flight attendant a “vile name.” However, our witness is telling a very different version. He wrote me the following exclusive statement on what happened:

Ohio Supreme Court Justice Bill O'Neill, a Democratic candidate for governor, apparently trying to head off any criticisms from his opponents, revealed what he says are his sexual escapades over the years on a Facebook post. A post on O'Neill's official Facebook said he was speaking up "on behalf of all heterosexual males" after allegations against Democratic U.S. Sen. Al Franken came to light Thursday. O'Neill, a Chagrin Falls native, said he had been "sexually intimate" with "approximately 50 very attractive females." O'Neill said he was disappointed by the "national feeding frenzy about sexual indiscretions decades ago" and wanted to...

Jack O'Neill, the eye patch wearing wetsuit pioneer who trail-blazed coldwater surfing, has died, friends confirmed to KSBW Friday. He was 94. O'Neill single-handedly opened up the possibility of surfing Northern and Central California's cold water year-round with his industry-changing wetsuits. He lived out his days in his legendary moss green house perched over the ocean along East Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz. Surfers affectionately refer to the surf spot where perfect waves roll up to O'Neill's steps as "Jack's." O’Neill sits in his beloved 1953 Jaguar XK 140, at his cliff-side home in Santa Cruz. He passed away peacefully...

Brian O'Neill: Pa. voters, beware — slippery ballot question ahead (TRICK QUESTION ON PA POLL)

Pennsylvania has a ballot question almost certain to pass this November because most voters won’t know what it means. One of the things it may mean is that baby boomers can’t admit we’re getting old. The ballot question goes like this: “Shall the Pennsylvania Constitution be amended to require that justices of the Supreme Court, judges and magisterial district judges be retired on the last day of the calendar year in which they attain the age of 75 years?” Sounds pretty reasonable, right? Jurists, who enjoy about as secure an elected position as exists, shouldn’t serve forever. What you may...

Noel Neill, the first actress to play Superman’s gal pal Lois Lane onscreen, died July 3 in Tucson, Ariz. after a long illness. Her manager and biographer Larry Ward shared a statement on Facebook, saying that she “maintained that bright, perky and engaging personality up until her death.” Her first appearance as Lois Lane was in the 1948 movie serial “Superman,” which showed her talent for humor. She then appeared in the sequel “Atom Man vs Superman.” The 1950s television series “Adventures of Superman,” starring George Reeves, gave her a longtime role as the intrepid reporter, and she said later...
